After reading many positive reviews of Cranberry Creeks catering service, we hired them to serve brunch at our recent wedding. The price was very reasonable, the menu was just what we were looking for and the service leading up to our event was polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the service we received on our wedding and after was less than stellar and I cannot recommend them to anyone as a result. In addition to being late to set up for our reception, my food was totally cold. When I mentioned this to my attendant, she took me over to the buffet and we noticed that there were no sternos or any other method there for keeping the food warm. I wanted to ask the service person who brought the food about it but he was nowhere to be found. My new husband told me that as soon as the reception started, the caterer said he was going to town for a little bit. He did not return until the meal was over. A few weeks later when I emailed Jim the owner to let him know about my dissatisfaction, I received a prompt response expressing concern and "in a gesture of good faith" an offer to refund the $125 travel fee (less than 5% of the total bill.) However, the email also contained the servers explanation about what happened that day and an attitude of disbelief about my complaints. I was told that there were indeed sternos and that they were lit when the server left and then I was blamed for having cold food because I must have left the covers off for too long and because my reception was outside. While I found the good faith gesture to be insulting and a less than adequate response to cold food, I was mostly insulted by Jim's refusal to acknowledge that his employee did a bad job, his insinuations that my version of events is wrong and the fact that he blamed me for the problem.

I was in Madison with a co-worker and he knew I loved to dine out, so he suggested this restaurant for lunch. The menu was large and there were a lot of great looking items, but I decided I wanted to try the truffle fries. Therefore, my entree had to be a burger. That's just how I roll. I built my own burger with mushrooms and bacon. The burger patty was cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious. The burger to bun ratio was a perfect balance. The true star was the truffle fries. I've had truffle fries before, but none as good as these. The potatoes were fresh cut and topped generously with the truffle oil. Then they were served in an individual sized deep-fryer basket for a cool presentation. It looked like a franchise chain, but I don't think it is, so I like it even more! I hope to make it back to Cranberry Creek soon when I get back to Madison and try more of the menu. Todd S. may have been looking at the Cranberry Creek in Stevens Point, which is closed. The Madison location is still open. I called them just now to make sure.

Been here a few times for burger - one of the best in town and always made correctly to order. Today I took the family and we tried pot roast (fall-off-the-fork tender), the fish (light breading practically floated off the plate) and the fresh batter cheese curd (amazing). For an order-at-the-counter place, $53 seems a bit pricy for lunch for four. Still, great food, great service, and great atmosphere every time is worth paying extra.

I've seen the sign for this place on the Beltline for years, but have never actually ventured along that part of Monona Drive until recently. My boyfriend had noticed it on a drive one day and wanted to try it one morning of his vacation, so I met him and we rolled on over. When we walked in, I was surprised to see that it was counter service. I am the absolute worst decider at a new place, so that kind of threw me for a loop because I hate to be that person that makes the counterperson stand there awkwardly while I make a choice. Usually I research things ahead of time, but for this I had failed. Gratefully there was no one behind me, and after several excruciating minutes (and a wonderfully sweet and patient cashier/our eventual server) I landed on panic pancakes. Panic because too many things sounded good and I just pulled the trigger. I specifically got the cranberry pancakes - I love cranberries, the restaurant is named after them, it would presumably be a good choice. Pancakes usually fall to the bottom of my list, though, so when I sat down at our booth to wait I started having buyer's remorse. Happy to report there was no need for that - they were amazing. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had, actually - my guess is that they were made from scratch instead of with a mix. The cranberry flavor was subtle, but present, and made even better by the cranberry butter it was served with. Cranberry butter! I am a weirdo who skips over maple syrup, so this was a perfect accompaniment. For my side, I chose the rustic red potatoes - well seasoned, and cooked all the way through. The restaurant only had a couple other patrons on a weekday morning, but that was fine by me - nice and quiet. The interior was really cozy with a huge fireplace that serves as the focal point of the dining area. The cashier/server was fantastic, checking in enough that we had everything we needed, but not interrupting our meal. With my flexible work schedule, I'm excited to hit them up on another weekday morning.

I've pasted this place everyday to work for over 2 months and finally being on my vacation I made it a note to stop. The simple menu gave me some comfort I found what I wanted with in seconds. I paid up front sat done and in about 15 minutes I had my food. The service was just what i wanted, close but knew when they were need. For the price I've never felt so full. Hidden back on Broadway is a treasure of a cafe.

Awesome food with great prices. The atmosphere is very welcoming for all ages and there is food for even the pickiest of eaters. Make sure to get the cranberry butter and save room for dessert! They are also a great option to have for catering for any size of group.

I chose this catering company based on the many positive reviews and their affordable pricing. I planned an event in Madison from out of state and flew in the day before. Their customer service was adequate and they showed up on time. However, we had 50 people coming and they had 50 paper cups and 50 plates. As people often set cups down etc... I asked if he could get more. We ordered hot food items and the guy told me the burner only lasted for 2 hours and they were setting up 30 minutes before the event started which meant the food would be cold within 1.5 hours of our event starting. Then he said he'd be back at 2:30 even though our event lasted until 4 and I had expressly requested a 4 or later pickup. He said he would have to check if someone was available that late. Now the food. The fruit platter and the middle eastern platter were wonderful. Unfortunately, it stopped there. I have never seen such a lame cheese platter. They had a plate of lettuce with little piles of cheese scattered around. It looked like they took some kraft singles and cut them into triangles and put 8 piles of 4 slices on top of some lettuce. We were told the platter served 35-45. It was gone in 30 minutes as the cheese slices stuck together as they were so thinly cut that 8 guests took a little pile and it was done. I should have grabbed some cheese from Trader Joe's and a cheese slicer and I would have saved a ton of $$ and have had a decent cheese platter. I asked how big the crab cakes were and they said normal size. They were the size of dimes. It was pathetic. I have honestly never seen such small crab cakes. They clearly sized them with a 1/4 t. The stuffed mushrooms were cold from the start. I did not try the meatballs as I do not eat red meat but they were an unappetizing gray color. Fortunately, we had brought some food ourselves.The quality of the food was really really disappointing. I guess you get what you pay for.

Great little gem! Remember MacDowell's from "Coming to America?" This is the Panera Bread version of that. It looks like a Panera, has great food like a Panera, but isn't a corporate conglomerate. Win-win! The Cranberry Chicken was excellent, though the twice-baked potatoes were far too chivey for my tastes. Staff was friendly and efficient, and the bakery is great, too! I don't get to Madison very often, but I would definitely stop here again.

I was always a Kabul gal when I made my frequent trips to Madison, and still am, but then i found out that Cranberry Creek earns airmiles from American Airlines (or at least they did when I was there, I've been gone since 2009). It also looks as if they've removed my favorite dish from the menu, which I checked before posting. It was a pasta dish with a lemon type sauce, served with fresh broccoli. Plus, it seems as if they had delicious rolls alongside. Everything was always hot, fresh, and really good. I usually came on late Saturday afternoon/early evenings when there was almost no traffic at all. If they were available, I'd often grab a cranberry muffin for the road, as I always had to head home to Milwaukee right after. I'll still come visit when I'm in town, but I will miss my pasta. I'll have to figure out something else to order.

We had Cranberry Creek Catering for our wedding this July and overall we were satisfied with everything. Communication was very good, Jim was always quick to return calls and spend time answering questions for us. The tasting at the cafe was delicious and was the main reason we picked Cranberry Creek for catering. We chose the Pot Roast and the Cranberry Chicken and everyone was telling us how much they loved it. They delivered to our reception about an hour away and provided everything including cutting our cake after we did the traditional thing for photos. Just remember to tell them if you want someone to stay or serve at the event otherwise they'll setup everything then leave and return when you want them to. The plates were nice, linens were clean, delivery was smooth, food was hot, tasty and plentiful and pickup was quick. Delivery guy earned a nice tip for taking the time to congratulate us, ask us how the food was and offering to pack up the leftovers.

I have been here a few times with an okay experience. Today I ordered 35.00 worth of food for 2 people and toddler. One order was flat wrong and needed 2 sausage patties added to the plate. I kindly pointed the mistake out. Pointed to the menu which supported my claim and she declined to make it right. The person behind me then told her she was wrong and she correct my order. I left and went back to eat my food with no resolution to the issue. Then the front desk girl brought out the carbon copy and told me why I was wrong while my two year old is having a meltdown. I then told her I didn't want to Argue and asked her to leave. 5 min later as we left the sausage showed up and no boxes ( requested 2 times) were brought to our table. Go to crema and support good service and food.

Lunch with a co-worker. Fast casual atmosphere without the chain restaurant feel. Lots of different menu options, however they specialize in burgers which you wouldnt expect from the name. Order at the counter, then they bring it to the table. The only slight was that it was quite loud over lunch time, as i hard a hard time hearing and talking woth my tablemate.

Love this place for breakfast on the weekends. The eggs benedict are nummy! Haven't been here for anything but breakfast yet.

The staff didn't even know what the ingredients where in the different flavored mayo sauces for sandwiches. The manager on duty had to be called to be asked about the dairy in the black bean burger, and even she didn't know that eggs are not a dairy product. The fries? What truffle oil is supposed to do besides cost more, I have no idea. They tasted like ordinary fries to me. Not impressed at all.
