Bierock - Madison

We wanted to eat somewhere after landing at the airport. It’s close! And delicious! I grew up with my mom making bierocks, and it’s been awhile since I’ve made them myself. Don’t let the sauerkraut in the classic scare you! It’s subtle.. good potato salad and kettle chips.. solid beer choices! This was a nice find! Really good service by Crystal. ??

Everyone I've met who works at Bierock is lovely/helpful/capable. The food comes out quickly and piping hot. The menu items I've tried have all been delicious. The events they throw (particularly their bingo nights imho) are well run and fun. I'm not a beer person, but it seems like the taps are chosen with care by someone who is. Really, I couldn't ask for more from a bar or a restaurant.Vegetarian options: Most of the appetizers, some of the bierocks (clearly marked), and the dessert options (which I cannot recommend enough).Parking: Very occasionally it is harder to get a spot because of Mallard's game overflow parking. There is always somewhere to park.Dietary restrictions: Bierocks has a gluten sensitive crust option (that is very crispy and delicious). It is not a gluten free kitchen, so if you have an allergy or an intolerance that is sensitive to trace amounts it may not be a safe bet. They also have delicious vegetarian options.

Needed food before the Mallards game, ot was a great choice. The pasties were really good and the drinks were not skimped on. Our waitress was kind and engaging.

Literally the best soft pretzel I've ever had! The dip with it was not what I was expecting but was also amazing. The dip with the kettle chips app was so delicious, I would have bought a tub to bring home if it was an option ? we tried the rosemary lamb bierock with tziki. Filling was flavorful AF and that puff pastry was perfectly baked and amazingly fluffy but also substantial. I thought they were going to be like a pasty, but it was SO much better than any pasty. Prices were also insanely reasonable. Super happy we tried this place and kinda bummed that it's on the opposite side of town from where we live. Heads up to my neurospicy peeps Atmosphere loses 1 bc it got very loud very quickly bc of the industrial style interior design with complete lack of any soundproofing. I have sensory issues and it was a lot. Won't stop me from going back, but I was very happy that I had my sensory earplugs.

Quaint place that I've driven past with the girlfriend many times. Finally stopped in and everything was great. Quick service, friendly faces, good food, and a nice craft beer menu.Food: 5/5
