🍽️ Merchant Madison – A Must-Try Fusion Spot!

📍 Location: Near the Capitol – easy to find and great for a downtown meal! 👨‍🍳 Vibe: The chef seems to be Asian-inspired 👌 – the menu blends Asian flavors with American comfort food. Really tasty and unique! 🍴 What We Tried: Blackened Catfish 🐟 – Actually made with salmon in a butter-potato base. Not oily at all – perfectly cooked! Crispy Fried Chicken Platter 🍗 – My friend ordered it and loved it! Classic but well-executed. Hotdog 🌭 – Surprisingly delicious! A must-try. Fried Chicken Wings – Tasted like Korean-style fried chicken – crispy, saucy, and so good! 🍹 Drinks: Their non-alcoholic beverages are amazing! Highly recommend – no regret 😍. I tried one of their popular local beers 🍺 – also excellent! Overall, their drink menu is solid – something for everyone. 🏮 Ambience & Value: Feels like casual fine dining – nice but not too formal. Great for groups (up to 10 people). Prices are reasonable – great quality for what you pay! ⏰ Pro Tip: Happy Hour Monday–Friday, 4–6 PM! 🕓 Drinks are discounted – and as long as you order before 6 PM, you get the happy hour price. Definitely adding this to my list of go-to spots in Madison! 🎉 #Madison #MadisonFood #MadisonEats #MerchantMadison #FusionFood #HappyHour #Foodie
