Take a step back in time and head over to the Hubbard Avenue Diner for an exceptionally fun blast from the past experience.
With its unusual retro atmosphere, it will be sure to fulfill the quintessential diner experience and may even bring back nostalgic memories for some.
Located on 7445 Hubbard Avenue, the Hubbard Avenue Diner specializes in dessert and specifically pie.
While exploring their vast array of pie flavors may be the sole reason for your visit, the rest of the menu is extensive and equally tasty.
Everyone in your party will be satisfied with the more savoryside of the menu.
With selections ranging from traditional comfort food like hamburgers and mashed potatoes to a variety of pasta selections, there truly is something to please any and every palette.
With such a vast menu, I would recommend bringing a large group to share your diner experience.
Beyond the comforting and hearty food, the decor will be sure to bring back pleasant memories from the past that everyone can relish in.
The joy of the Hubbard Avenue Diner for my group, specifically, was that every single person in our party was pleased with their choices.
Those who accompanied me all ordered vastly different dishes and from trying a bit of everyone’s, I can attest that every bite was equally delicious.
An added bonus for college students, the diner is welcoming to large groups.
It’s a nice change of pace from the crowded restaurants that dot State Street and the rest of campus.
The ample amount of space at the diner makes it so there’s absolutely no need to worry about reservations.
So to be completely honest, the pie was the main reason my group and I made the trip to the Hubbard Avenue Diner.
Despite being incredibly pleased with our meal choices, going home without trying at least one of the wonderful flavors would have been nothing short of a shame.
With over 125 pies on the menu, our table narrowed it down to three: the chocolate malt, creme brûlée and peanut butter silk.
While all were incredible, the chocolate malt stood out as exceptionally divine.
We quickly passed our choices around the table to try them all.
Soon after, we promised each other to return shortly in order to try the other flavors and stuff our bellies full of comfort food.
I would highly recommend the Hubbard Avenue Diner to all UW-Madison students. It’s not too long of a bus ride and an even shorter car ride away.
With reminiscent decor and an impressive menu, it’s well worth the trip.
