Where to find the best cheese curds in Madison

Rome has cannoli, Paris has crepes, and Madison has cheese curds. But where should you go to find the best in the city?

While Graze, Tipsy Cow and Great Dane all rank high, none can topple the reigning champ. Humbly listed as “house-made, beer battered cheese curds,” the mouthwatering, perfectly fried offerings at The Old Fashioned have held the crown for years. Not only do they achieve peak cheese:fry ratio, they also pair inexplicably well with any Wisconsin beer.

Whether you’re in town for business or pleasure, don’t deny yourself the indulgence of an Old Fashioned cheese curd.
