New American Restaurants near Madison, AL

“We are from out of town and were looking for dinner. I checked out the menu online and liked the choices I saw. We were unsure as we had our kids with us though. We decided to stop in and met with staff who told us that “well-behaved” children are welcomed which is definitely not our children. 😘 But we decided to risk it and the kids behaved and had a blast! This was partially due to a kid friendly menu (my youngest loved the cheezits) and the delicious assortment of cakes offered at dessert. The main reason they had a great time and were well-behaved is the server, Antonio. He was engaging, friendly and helpful. My husband loved the whiskey and bourbon choices (there are three pages of options on the menu)! The pork tacos were to die for and the cornbread is mouthwatering. The kids enjoyed the chocolate cake with cookie dough layers and my teenager and husband enjoyed the carrot cake. My youngest wants to give ten stars but Facebook won’t allow it. We wish we lived in the area so we can come back. When we go to Space Camp we’ll have to stop back.“

“Thanks for great experience for lunch today. Service was excellent.“

“My hubby and I stopped here for an early dinner yesterday. The restaurant is beautiful and the employees were friendly and helpful. Our server was very knowledgeale of the menu and answered all of our questions about the various dishes we were interested in. We started with the Steak Eggrolls, which were very good.....the sauce was very tasty as well. Then, my hubby had a House Salad and I tried the Lobster Bisque. Both were fresh and tasty, and the portions were huge. We were also served some of their house rolls, which were really good. They are small poppy seed rolls that are lightly fried and served with a honey butter. My hubby ordered the Prime Rib, and it came out cooked perfectly, and was a nice, thick portion...served with Au Jus, and his chosen side of Parmesan Fries. He was very happy with it, and had plenty left over to take home. I chose the Ribeye Steak with Au Gratin Potatoes. I was a little surprised at the appearance of the plate when it arrived. It looked like the plate was dirty....(See the picture). It appeared to be spattered with something. I ordered medium rare, and the meat was cooked properly, although it was fairly charred on the outside. As for the steak itself, almost half of the ribeye was fat. I eat ribeyes frequently, and am aware that they are a very fatty cut of meat....but this one seemed to have an abundance of fat. Once I cut away the fat, there was less than half of the original steak left to eat. For $47, I was a little disappointed with the serving I received. In addition, the seasoning on the steak was extremely salty....almost too salty to eat. I know that tastes are subjective, but again, I eat ribeyes frequently, and this one was quite salty. If you look at the picture, you can actually see that it is sprinkled with large flakes of salt in addition to the seasoning blend they use which made it a too salty for my taste. I chose not to complain about the steak since the rest of the meal was good, but I definitely would not order the ribeye again. Overall, we had a good experience here, and would recommend it, but I would try something different next time.“

“We had a nice lunch with Sydney A. providing courteous prompt and fun service during our visit. The food at twin peaks is usually pretty good for this type of restaurant. The only comment I have is the loud ambience but some people do not mind that.“

“Our party of 6 had a great experience! We had several tasty appetizers, great cocktails, and delicious entrees.Kayla was a knowledgeable server with a unique ability to guide a full and fruitful restaurant experience. Definitely check Salt Factory Pub out and ask for Kayla!“

“LaCresia was a great hostess, Food was amazing, service was great. Would definitely recommend Mississippi Pot Roast 💯 Bread Pudding 💯“

“I am a regular at Rocket City Tavern and highly recommend their food and happy hour drinks. The bartender Liz is fantastic and always knows what I want as soon as I sit down. Between the food, drinks and exceptional service I won't go anywhere else after work! Thank you RCT!“

“Food was okay. This is not our first time visiting. We brought friends this time. I ordered an omelette and the eggs were a bit overcooked. The rest of the table had good food. The service was meh....the server never came back for coffee/soda refills until we stopped them. The server had some meh table manners. It almost seemed like they did not want to be working that day. In the end, the server was quick to bring our bill and the suggested tip started at 18%. We were glad that the friends enjoyed the meal and didn't mention the service. I guess it was our turn to get the other side of the flipped coin.“

“Lonnie is the best bar tender ever! To run a Bar with a bunch drunk ass mixture of people is legendary. So impressed by the environment. Blessed to have found this place. Went to college in Huntsville. Blessing I didn’t find this earlier. May now have graduated. Best environment ever!“

“Alaya was our waitress and she was phenomenal. She was very attentive and very professional. She gave us the absolute best service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Alaya is truly a wonderful asset for Scene Restaurant and Lounge to have. She is a jewel.“

“A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of being served by Glen for dinner and drinks. He is an excellent bartender, conversationalist and overall great guy! And then in the morning we were served breakfast by Jamey. She was equally as wonderful and helpful. We actually had such a great experience, we choose to go to Huntsville over Birmingham on our next trip down south.“

“Great Birthday party and very helpful staff“

“I’ve always enjoyed the other location, but it was my first time to try this one. It was delicious! I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries. The sandwich was loaded with lots of meat, cheese, onions, mushrooms, and jalapeños. The fries were equally delicious. There was enough food to take home leftovers. Our server. Nicole, was friendly and very attentive.“

“Great service just like the other locations I’ve visited in Arlington, Texas and Noblesville, Indiana!“
