Mike's Favorite Restaurant: Vintage Brewing Co.

Vintage Brewing Co. has become our default Friday night restaurant because not only do they serve up the best fried cod sandwich that we've had so far in Madison, the S. Whitney Way location is conveniently right across the street from Hyvee and in the same strip mall as the new Asian grocery store, A Mart, which re-stocks fresh produce from Chicago on Tuesdays and Fridays!

Another plus is that they do brew their own beer as well as specialty sodas (usually root beer and one other monthly special like vanilla creme soda).

We usually start our meal off with the spinach artichoke dip:

Then either one of their gigantic burgers, rueben sandwich, or cod sandwich:

Cod Sandwich

 

I think what makes their cod sandwich so addictive is the buttery flakes of cod, crunchy batter, and lack of fishy smell.  It's the best dish on the menu!

 

Vintage gets packed in the evenings so arrive early to avoid waiting.
