Longtable Beer Cafe - Middleton

For our first time visiting Long Table, the atmosphere and food was good but our group (of 7) was disappointed by the way we were treated and served. We arrived before it was busy and had made some food and drink orders but were served after others who ordered after us. We had to constantly go up to check on our drink and food order as it took a good 15-20 minute for one person to get their drink on tap and another 30-40 minute wait for our 3 rather simple appetizers that seemed to have been forgotten due to a “printing issue”. Overall, I was disappointed with the unapologetic response from the server and how things went. I would not go back due to the service.

Food was really poor in taste. In bbq platter chicken was not cooked well and was almost raw. They replaced the wings with extra fried ones and that had no taste (maybe because it was smoked before)And my stomach was not happy after all whole night ?

Stopped in around 2 pm, hungry, thirsty, hopeful. Sign at the front when I walked in told me to seat myself, so I followed the directions and took a stool at a window. About 10 16 minutes later, the lone server who had greeted me while I was looking around figuring out just where I was going to seat myself brought me a pint glass of water with the name of the Potosi brewery on it. I asked for printed menus, and around 10 to 16 minutes later they were delivered. I think around 10 to 16 minutes later I placed my order: The Potosi brewery tap was out, but they had bottles and I think cans? but I chose a different tap. It arrived about 10 minutes later. Maybe about 10 to 16 minutes later THE BEST in house made cheese curds arrived. I have worked in the Food Service and Hospitality industry in Dane County for over 10 years, have eaten a gazillion cheese curds, have made them from scratch, whoever made these curds Nailed It Perfect! Too bad the person who overcooked my burger and undercooked my SOGGY fries lacked the proper skills to do their part correctly. I ordered the Smash Burger Medium Rare with frites , I cut the burger in half to see that it was Well Done. Yeah, Longtable, go forget yourselves. Overpriced and incapable.

Delicious food, big selection of beers, and nice atmosphere. Friendly staff!

Absolutely love seeing how Longtable has evolved since they first opened. The lunch rush on the weekend was a bit crazy, but staff was kind and patient, food came out fast, and of course the beer selection is incredible. Get the smash burger!
