“ [Turn Key Wisconsin] A local gem in Wisconsin that gives off this old rustic cabin x diner vibe. Its got some creative takes on these classic comfort dishes. It's interesting since its like nothing around the restaurant however once you walk in, it is so busy. Both casual and date night dining Steak Au My Cheese Puppies Holy Moly Ravioli Burger Looks like some sort of pasta The vibes were so good. The food was amazing however the food took forever to come out. I think to the point where they were about to close and we came in about 2 hours before. The ambiance was very good, very busy. Overall 7.5/10, due to just the wait time or else it would've been close to a 10. https://www.turnkeymadison.com 1344 E Washington Ave Madison, WI 53703 ”
“ My boyfriend and I went here for the Thursday date night and it was an amazing deal. We got SO much food for $60. The house white wine was very good, along with the relish tray. I loved the chips, radishes, and green goddess sauce. My boyfriend had the prime rib sandwich and loved it, he thought it was delicious. I had the walleye po' boy which was very good, but I wish there was more fish and less fries. For dessert we shared the butter cake, which could have been more moist. The place was very cute and the service was good, they probably could've been more attentive with the timing of the food as we got our entrees while we were still eating the appetizer. ”
“ I was in Beloit for work and met a friend halfway that lives in FonDuLac here. It was great! The server was awesome and the food was good. I will come back when i visit Madison. ”
“ This place is a ton of fun. It's got everything ambience, great service and stellar food. I loved the gnocchi-the best I have ever had. Great for a date night or a group of friends. We will be back! ”
“ Very nice restaurant. Older building but nice ambiance. Menu probably isn't typical Supper Club but it technically is called Turn Key Supper Club. Had the fish fry which was haddock. The coating was probably beer batter but it was thin and tasty. Tartar not as sweet as i like but not bad. French fries were thin like McDonalds and NOT coated - yay!- i hate coated fries. Lets take an unhealthy item and add a coating making it even more unhealthy. Sorry - editorial comment. They have a relish tray which is $18. We decided to try it and it was very good. Veggies, which was very good, hard boiled egg that sat in beet juice, etc. It was good but im not sure its worth $18. They had a moscato with fizz and it was sweet - loved it. Staff were friendly and aim to please. I would probably rate 4.4 stars. ”
“ I'm usually not a fan of supper clubs - crowded places with ridiculous waits for overpriced and usually mediocre food, but Turn Key was a gem! Every dish was a delight. The drinks were a unique spin on classic cocktails. Waitstaff was accommodating and friendly even with our large party of 8. I'm hesitant to give a stellar review here because I don't want it to become over-popular, I hope it stays just like it is! ”
“ I was there for dinner on a weekday. I was there early. The place was empty at that time. Charred carrot was my favorite. Carrot was soft and flavorful with some cranberry and tomato sauce. I also went for a keys burger. The burger was very flavorful with a ton of garlic butter. Bun was soft. Fries were crispy. ”
“ Stopped in for some drinks before a concert that was canceled due to weather. ended up weathering the storm there and had the prime rib special for dinner. It did not disappoint. It was very tasty. The prime rib French dip not pictured was also very delicious. The horseradish really makes the meal. Our server was very laid-back and attentive. For dessert ending the meal with a champagne cocktail with a sugar cube was a nice way to end the meal. The decor of the menus being in various books located near your table is a very cool way of looking at a menu. Next time I come I will be excited to try some of the other dessert cocktails that they offer vegan options. ”
“ I was actually shocked to see some of these lower reviews on this place. The vibe was cozy, like a supper club should be. Pretty lively on a Saturday night. Seated promptly. Service was good. Lots of parking in the back so definitely NOT an issue. We started off with the cheese curd puppies. Not overly heavy and they were huge in size! I ordered the boneless pork chop and it was delicious. So flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were great-not mushy at all! I'm glad I got the side salad to accompany the fullness of this meal. The cook on it was great! I would definitely come back. People complain about a limited menu, but IMO, I'm about quality over quantity. I shared the apple butter rum cake-I fully understand desserts are supposed to be sweet but a little on the more indulgent side. The vanilla ice cream cuts some of the sweetness. ”
