Jordan's is a legend for their excellent Friday Fish fry and this visit did not fail. I have ordered the beer battered cod and it's always been tasty with generous portions. Had lunch with a friend today and this time I ordered the lightly battered perch with sour cream and chive cottage fries. Interesting and tasty coleslaw vinaigrette with shreds of kale. So much food I had enough remaining for dinner!! The perch was excellent. Certainly not low-cal but this pub food REALLY delivers and the wait staff work hard and have excellent customer service skills. (TIP THEM WELL.) The fish offered depends on what fresh fish is locally available but they normally have walleye, bluegill, cod, and perch. If you go I'd advise arriving early (11:30ish) or later (1:30ish) cuz tables fill up FAST. If you are a sports fan there are big screens and small screens with sports coverage everywhere.

We were greeted and quickly served. The bartenders/servers were very friendly and attentive. They worked as a team and it was great to see. Friends were in and had sandwiches and they were very happy. We just had chips/salsa and wedges. The salsa was fresh, tasty and a bit spicy. The beers were nice and cold. I can't wait to go back.

Jordans is a great local spot if you’re looking for reasonably priced drinks and food. The food is fantastic, higher quality than some other much more expensive restaurants nearby. Well they have a great fish fry on Friday, but try the salmon (sandwich or salad) any day of the week, and you won’t be disappointed!

Attended with friends after the Badgers had beaten Iowa and we really enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar. The drink prices were not abnormally high but this is a great place to go to after games.

This is a long standing tradition in Madison. It's loud and dim inside with multiple TVs showing football, but the food is good.
