Banushi’s Bar and Grill

This place is alway busy! The food was good. Prime Rib was great. My wife enjoyed her salmon. Might be a little pricey for what you get but I might be cheap ;)

The jumbo shrimp dinners with two sides are fantastic. The Caesar side salad is really pretty excellent for a side. The shrimp are huge. Kinda noisy but it is a sports bar & grill.

Good food, good drinks. The bar can seem a little loud and unruly but it’s no problem. No reservations are taken so go early or be prepared to sit in the bar and wait.

A typical american food joint with decent service and alright food. We got burgers and curds and were not exceptionally impressed nor let down.
I think thats how I’ll leave this review, ambivalent. That well reflects my thoughts. As always though, take reviews with a grain of salt and give a place a try yourself.

BBG’s has really upped their game. We used to come here often when they first opened, and it was great. However, in the last couple of years, the quality of the items we liked best (soup, salads) were hit or miss.
Came today for the broad menu and the ability to hold a conversation, but not much expectation for the food. Boy, were we surprised. The salads we had today were excellent! Large, fresh, well prepared. Two people also had the soup, and gave it high marks. Service was good and reasonably fast.
Definitely a good place to come for good food and conversation, somewhat of a rarety in Stoughton.

We have been here a couple of times and each time has been great! Thank you! My friend and I were here on Easter Sunday, had a great bartender and a pizza. The pizza was fabulous. Excellent crust. This feels like a restaurant that would be in a larger city. Stoughton is lucky to have this establishment. The staff is very friendly, the food is great. We will be back!

Stopped in for the first on a Saturday afternoon and had a few beers. Tried the salads, great Caesar and garden! The place is clean, servers are friendly and professional. The owner is a nice guy and the clientele seem as friendly as the folks running the place. Only adds would be more vegetarian choices and more beer imports like young’s chocolate stout, Val dieu, Sam smiths stout.

Good atmosphere good service good food
We went in with a party of 20 on a Saturday After a basketball game we had only a 20 minute wait! The waitress called out that each family should use their child’s jersey number to order which kept billing later much easier for the group! Staff was friendly and food was good

Came here due to a state hoops tourney. The service was outstanding. Food came out on time and was good. If you are in the area check it out!

Wow they’ve got an extensive menu here! Everything from pizza, pastas, wraps, burgers, paninis, steaks and more ‘dinner’ meals.
The parking lot was packed on a Monday night.
Our group got the buffalo chicken wrap, Monterey chicken sandwich on ciabatta, bam bam chicken panini, and taco pizza.
Evening tasted very good, not like your average bar food. Everything was about $ 9+. I just wish they were more generous with their sides. I got the smashed potatoes, which were essentially mini hashbrowns, and only received 7 of them.
They have daily specials and I guess Monday was half priced pizzas. We sat by the kitchen and noticed all the servers bringing our pie after pie after pie. We were made aware of this after commenting to our server to which she replied, «yep half off pizza night».
The food is for stars but I’d say the service is a three since they were mostly a younger bunch. Would have appreciated more attentiveness.
Overall, I’d stop and eat here again!

Honestly, I travel a lot to go and eat and try new places I have never been to before. I have to say, this was definitely one of my top 3 places to go to in the Greater Madison Area. First, my spotted cow was ice cold and served in a frozen mug, can’t get better than that. I had ordered a BBG wrap with baby cakes, absolutely delish. folks if you want good food with great service and honest prices than BBG’s is your home!
Definitely will come back again and again! Thanks!

I had never been here prior to this first «check-​in.» I have to say I’m impressed. Stoughton has quite a gem in this place. My wife and i only stayed for drinks but our friends raved about the quality of the food. Plenty of space at the bar, and ample parking. Beer was cheap too!
They have Stella, I’ll be back for sure!

Fiancé had terrible service her last visit and decided to give it one more shot for dinner. Walked in to the entry and saw the please wait to be seated sign. Stood there for about 15 mins with nobody helping us. What appeared to be the bartender walked right past us and said hello but never a someone will be right with you or anything. A waitress was helping someone at the counter further in and the other customer noticed us standing there and said something to the waitress helping her. Waitress didn’t even seem to care and didn’t bother to even make eye contact with us. We turned around and walked out. Will never be going here again and based on the high reviews for this place I can only imagine they are posted by regulars who might rate high enough or more like it get drunk their enough to get noticed.

My friends and I love eating the food they serve here!
Everything we have ever tried tastes amazing. We love that not only do they have a lot of options but that each section of the menu (i.e. sandwiches, burgers, wraps, etc.) also has many options to choose from.
Recently we took a friend here who is not from Wisconsin and has never liked cheese curds here. He tried the cheese curds that you can substitute as a side for ~$ 2.50 and he said that he actually really liked them and liked them enough to even eat them without dipping them in any ranch or ketchup.
The one thing we have never been impressed with here is the wait staff. They do not seem to be the brightest or have a sense of urgency or idea of what is involved in being a good server/​waiter.
But even though we have never been pleased with the service we go back often because the food is too good to not eat here.
My friend and I have tried and enjoyed their rodeo burger. I liked the Gyro with the substituted sweet potato fries. And as mentioned above, they have AMAZING cheese curds!

Best atmosphere and food in Stoughton! We frequent BBG’s between once and twice a month and truly look forward to going each time. The management and service staff are focused on customer service and ensuring a great dining experience. That’s just for starters!
I am a bit of a traditionalist in that I always get the same one or two dishes — but that is because they are good! For me, it’s Pizza or Burgers; the pizza is the best in town and their burgers are right up there! For my girlfriend, it’s all about the pasta, which she loves!
Ton’s of T.V.‘s, pool table as well as some typical bar games. The restaurant has a large bar area with seating as well as a more formal dining room. We love the atmosphere.
Keep it up guys, you are becoming a tradition within our family and we look forward to many more memories and good times!

My wife and I visited for lunch today and the food and service was great! We both had the Black & Bleu Salad and it was delicious. We also had a cup of chili that was very good and our server said was homemade. I definitely will be back!!!

Met up with some friends for drinks and appetizers.
We had the spinach artichoke dip, onion rings, and deep fried pickles.
Everything was fantastic and the dj was awesome. Definitely the party spot on a Saturday night!

Nice place, very good burger for me and my wife had the shrimp and they were huge and VERY good. The other 6 in our group were very satisfied with there order and overall I’m sure we will all return. Service was excellent and prices were fair. Large selection of tap beer, 2 large bars, many TV’s. Make reservations as this place is catching on and very busy even on a Wednesday evening.

We went on a Sunday night during a winter storm, so the place wasn’t really busy. We had the fried green beans for an appetizer and they were really good! The dipping sauce was just plain ranch, good, but not exciting. I had the black, bleu, and green burger — burger with bleu cheese and green olives on it — two of my favorite things! The burger was yummy! I really wanted to try their onion rings, but they were out, so I got the cheese curds instead. They were okay, but nothing special about them. My husband got the Walleye and it was huge! He liked it, but it didn’t seem to make a huge impression.
It was good food and good service, we’ll probably be back again.

Not sure if this is new ownership so much as it’s just a new design in place. The building has a history of devouring whatever opens here, and from the previous mixed reviews and sentiment about the BBQ place most recently here, I’m kinda hoping it’s the same guy. It sucks to see anyone’s business fail…
That said, BBG just opened fairly recently in a huge building. There’s a ton of tables inside, hardwood floors, two bars and a patio. It’s got a reasonable sports bar feel, and a menu designed along those lines. The newness of the place was obvious on my visit (third week of April) if for nothing else than watching the servers interact. I’ve opened enough places to recognize the vets from the new girls, the bartenders who think they’re the shit, etc. It’s all fun to watch.
Ownership seemed to be in place. Rarely will you see a manager in jeans and sneakers instructing service staff or talking to tables. I’ve got mixed feelings about that, but it’s much better than ownership that sits in the bar in a suit and keeps calling the employees over to them. They seemed pretty comfortable with what they were doing.
I can’t go into a lot of detail on the food. This was my first stop from the Dane airport after spending the previous thirty-​six hours travelling from Eastern Europe. I had the Italian beef sandwich and she had a sandwich with chicken (I think). My sammie was good, and decently sized, with au jus on the side and we both had fries. Strangely, I remember not liking my pickle. It was floppy, and I think we made a joke about being away so long that even the pickles are bored.
Beer variety was good, and they didn’t seem to have a ridiculously overstocked bar (bad mistake often made by new places — you don’t need every flavor of Three Olives). Pricing on our bottles was fair and we left satisfied.
Service isn’t worth extended commenting. It was par, and our server was young and new to this. She did well enough, and I’m sure she’ll improve over time, as will most aspects of the place.
This is a long review for a three-​star, but I think they can keep it going and hopefully survive through the summer and make enough money to get through the winter. For the general local population that doesn’t want to drive to Madison or Janesville… support your locally owned and recommend things for improval. As much as I like Deak’s, there’s room for two in this town.
