Burgers made fresh just to your liking. Best burgers we have had in Madison. Perfect bun to burger ratio. Fresh ingredients used for toppings. Sweet potato fries and fried cheese curds were excellent. Playlist vibe was fun! Affordable too! Service was fast and friendly! Good job, Michael's!!!!!!!
Burgers like no other. Locally sourced ingredients. Food is fresh, custard is fantastic. Service always friendly. Jan 6th 2023 edit: Still hands down the superior custard, and burgers.
I've been wanting to try this forever, but am usually on my way to work in the morning when I pass by. I had time today and YUMMY I drove through, it was well worth the few minutes of waiting. Great service, burger, curds, banana Malt!! I'll be back!
Michaels, hands down, is the greatest burger & custard joint that is left standing! Its quaint and simple atmosphere holds a vintage aesthetic and charm found no where else in the 21st century. The burger and custard is extremely underrated. First and foremost, a charred oversized patty with fresh cut veggies and house made sauces will remind you of a bygone era in fast food. The fries—perfectly cut, lightly salted and oiled. The turtle sundae holds the crown with its well executed proportions of old fashioned caramel, hot fudge and salted pecans (not candied!). The base custard alone is worth experiencing explicitly for the delicate and perfectly balanced vanilla and the custard density holds its shape holding true to a traditional thick frozen dessert. This place is a hidden gem!
I have traveled far and wide, tried frozen custard from all over the USA, tried every place in Wisconsin ofcourse. I do not say this lightly, Michaels has the best ingredients, quality of burger and vegetables are crisp, real leaf of lettuce not the rabbit food bits like the average burger. Fries are real potatos, and the custard has the real caramel thats gets harder once it gets cold, the base custard has actual flavor and the perfect level of sugar. Many others have so much sugar you cannot taste the flavor. Michaels is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME, and I am there almost every week as my one indulgence weekly!
Just had my first two cheese burgers here with fries and of course frozen custard . The fries are cut up potatoes, not frozen, which was great. I was torn between the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. I went with what was on the favorites menu, which did not let me down. Ordering was a breeze, as they have a computer system in place that you just tap what you want. Easy Peasy.. Had the choice to eat in or take out. I chose out, so I could eat in the home office right across the street. They do give you a discount when you use cash. Better than Culver's any day. Parking: If you do not want to park, they have a drive through. Kid-friendliness: There was some very well behaved kids there. Wheelchair accessibility: Simple ramp.
Michael’s frozen custard is the best. Nothing else compares to the quality of the custard and the ingredients in their sundaes. It’s a true Madison local business and worth the cost.
I've been eating at Michael's for years now but now they have kiosks to order( not sure when they were put in). No big deal with them. Order my food then it asks me if I want to tip. I've got no problem tipping when there is human interaction so I picked no tip. Then I get my receipt and I was changed a tip. People that work here seem nice. Food is good and inside is really clean.
Women could not understand what I was requesting. Got an attitude with me. Updated 2023.
