Everything! The menu choices are phenomenal, and you can't go wrong with any choice. WOW!!!
Wonderful breakfast! Salmon Eggs Benedict with hash browns smothered in cheese. Grilled Perch Fillet with eggs, hash browns, and muffin. Both breakfasts cooked perfectly and hot coffee. Anthony, our server, was very attentive. Love seeing the jets right outside the window from our table. Just a great experience on a cold, snowy, spring morning.
Neat restaurant to dine into. Located near the Dane County Airport. You get a view of the private jets coming in while eating. Nice selection of breakfast items. The giant cinnamon roll is delicious, comes nice and warm with melting butter on it. I had the Blueberry French toast with sweet cream. My husband had Eggs, hash browns, sausage and toast. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and nice. Would like to come back and try their lunch menu.
First timers. Excellent service and breakfast. Will be back!!
Moved to Madison over 2 years ago and lived right down the road from here and had yet tried O'Malley's out...that's two year's of brunches I missed out on. This place is EXCEPTIONAL!!!Took the family this past Saturday during the height of brunch-hour and it was WELL WORTH the 43 min wait!The staff and service was great and the food...well...the best breakfast I've had in Madison thus far. The Eggs Benedict was masterfully prepared and on par with Milwaukee's Blue's Egg and Hotel Fremont's - though I prefer the pulled ham Blue's offers but the thick sliced ham's at O'Malley's equal in taste.The cheesy, extra crispy (by request) hash browns were PHENOMENAL!!!!My sister had the French Toast - toasted to perfection - and commented that the maple syrup was the best she ever tasted.My brother's Egg Scramble was akin to George Webb's Scramble times 7 with piled on eggs, cheese, browns and thick-cut bacon!!!Now that I've popped my cherry I'm finding myself having to stop myself from eating here everyday!
Another place that's been on my list for years, and I'm glad we finally made it! The wait was about 45 minutes when we got there at 12:15 pm on a Saturday, but I knew ahead of time that there'd be a wait, and the waiting area inside Wisconsin Aviation is spacious, so that was a non-issue. The food was delicious — I don't know what it was, but these were the best hash browns I have ever had. Extra butter? Fresh, not frozen? I'm not sure, but I was surprised by how much my wife and I enjoyed "just" hash browns. I got the crab cake benedict, which was also quite good, with the most perfectly cooked poached egg I have ever cut into. And the fruit side! Fruits you don't normally get in fruit cups, like raspberries, and freshly cut oranges, rather than ones obviously prepackaged. If I had to criticize anything, it'd be that said fruit cup is not worth $5 as a standalone side — very expensive for what is otherwise a reasonably priced establishment. On that note, prices on their online menu are outdated, and some items differ between the online menu and the one you are provided in restaurant, so just be prepared for that discrepancy (roughly 25% depending on the item) and don't get your heart set on potato pancakes, for example. :-)
Fun dining experience with historic Wisconsin aviation photos and decor. The main draw is a view of the Madison Airport strip as you dine.Didn't have lunch food (although it looked good on the menu) and breakfast food was pretty good. The experience of watching a few planes take off was cool.Went around noon on a Saturday and had about a 30 minute wait.
A great place for breakfast with damn good coffee. The waitress was great and refilled our coffee almost as soon as it was below the halfwaybpoint of the cup. I totally recommend coming here for breakfast!
We were driving through Madison and needed a meal. We like to visit local places when traveling so we Googled and found Pat O'Malley's. Upon arrival we were given a 45 minute wait time, we typically do not wait that long but decided without a schedule we'd hang out and watch the planes. Upon being seated we were offered a cinnamon roll, plain or chocolate peanut butter. According to our awesome server, the chocolate peanut butter is "stupid good" and he did not exaggerate. Everything was delicious, from the coffee to the eggs Benedict. I highly recommend this place, it's a real treat!
Consistently good (not great) food. A great place for kids with airplanes landing/taking off every ~20 minutes on a good day. If you don’t get there right when they open there will be a wait. We got there at 8:00am on a Sunday and had a 45 minute wait. Make sure to bring something for kids to do! The staff is friendly and typical diner people… chatty and charming, but they do try to rush you out.
