Restaurants in Madison

“We had a rehearsal dinner for Giovanni and Natalie Taddei,the service was excellent and the food was very delicious ,thank you!!”

“A unicorn of a restaurant, fine dining far outside of Metro Atlanta. It's a small, beautiful space eating less than 40 in downtown historic Madison. Prefix or a la carte menu offerings. Good variety of choices with a consistent culinary style. Service is Hands-On, knowledgeable, personable and friendly. Remarkable wine list and a full bar. Not in everyday restaurant, but should be top of the list for any special event in the lake oconee area. Nothing compares without a drive of at least an hour or more.”

“Amazing food, great service by Angie..Mojito was great, hubby had a beer..He had the Redfish and I had Barramundi with shrimp and grits..We finished out with Key lime pie for him and gelato for me.. Great experience!”

“Our wedding was the best day ever thanks to Amanda and the crew at Crowe’s BBQ. You all served us with stellar communication leading up to the big day, a beautiful charcuterie display for the cocktail hour, a tasty bbq meal (MANY compliments received), and kept everyone hydrated. You all were just a joy to work and plan with! - Jason and Ansley Mamrick, 10.4.25”

“Amazing place to come have coffee in the mornings then a drink into the night! Snack foods, local drinks and amazing baristas and bartenders! Come check them out! Open from 7am-9pm”

“Sara needs a raise. Made sure our food was good, and bringing refills while sweeping up and checking everything. Seems like she loves her job and actually cares. Also, this location as a whole always is great”

“I look forward to stopping here anytime I’m in the area! I wish I had a location near me! Great selection of local produce and prepared foods, plus unique items. I always get some of the vegetable soup, collards, and pimento cheese to take home. And the meals from the Chef’s Farm Table are out of this world!”

“Sweetie and I love Betty Gene’s for their tasty menu, great servers and cafe ambience. We’ve had lunch more than once and plan to do so often. Their location on the Madison Square is convenient for a rest during shopping errands. We highly recommend 😎”

“Always a delicious meal when we go and can’t wait to go back”

“Went there to pick up paper towels while on vacation. I just so happened to have an ingrown toenail so I asked the lady cashing me out if they advised anything. She asked the pharmacist who not only recommended local places I can go, but gave me a card telling me if I get there soon she will get it filled right away for me. What an awesome experience. Can’t say enough nice things about ALL the employees there. Will be back next vacation! Awesome, awesome, awesome!”

“I love DQ and the ice cream was delicious. We didn't wait at all. There was a few cars in front of us but it's not a biggy. The people are really nice.”

“Worth a trip, outstanding pastries and breads. Go hungry and forget your diet for this visit.”

“We visited Oconee Coffee Roasters yesterday while in Madison, Ga., one of our most favorite day trips from Atlanta. This time though, we discovered the greatest authentic coffee shop right there in Madison. And my husband grew up on a coffee farm in Kenya, so he knows and recognizes great coffee ! We had the Oconee Blend in a cappuccino. The owner told us we would be pleased, and that was an understatement ! The Oconee Blend is truly outstanding. It has a pure, gentle, exciting taste, even better than our usual Illy Classico. We can’t wait to revisit these great people, who brew absolutely incredible coffee from part Ethiopian, part Colombian. beans. Thank you. Michael and Mary from Atlanta”

“We celebrated my daughter’s 4th birthday here and the owners were very helpful & accommodating throughout the whole party. The kids loved it-Definitely a cute and fun place for a birthday!”

“Great restaurant, food is really good, service is wonderful, all the staff are friendly and give excellent service. The is beautiful on the inside and outside. When we come back to visit we will eat there again for sure. P”

“The Best Pizza in GA. We took a road trip to North Carolina recently and took the long way home in order to bypass ATL traffic. On our return trip, we made a detour in order to visit Madison, GA which may be one of the friendliest little towns in GA, or the USA for that matter. It's a beautiful little town full of old . It reminds me of Senoia, GA before it was ruined by ATL sprawl-big city ugliness... all paid for by big money, but that is a different story. We are talking about the best pizza in GA with allowance for best pizza being subjective... my and my wife's taste buds going back over quite a few years now. I first saw the town and sampled Amici's margherita pizza and salad quite a few years ago on a motorcycle ride with friends. It was a memorable lunch at Amici's. I have judged every new pizza restaurant and home-made margherita pizza against that pizza ever since then. The memory of that day still hold, the pizza was absolutely delicious and their new Caesar salad was great too! It is definitely worth a trip to Madison to see the beautiful little town's homes and shops and to sample the best pizza in GA. Give it a try sometime. It's an excellent day trip getaway. Nestled just an hour east of Atlanta, Madison is a Southern gem where oak-lined streets and antebellum architecture whisper stories of grace and grit. It’s a town that feels like a living postcard—walkable, welcoming, and rich with character. And right in the heart of it all is Amici. Before it became Madison’s living room in the beautifully restored livery stable on West Washington Street, Amici started a few blocks away in a humble storefront on South Main - most likely a dry goods store or something similar. That original, cozy little spot served up their legendary pizza, cold brews, and community vibes that made it a local favorite from day one. Today, Amici’s new home (old livery stable) blends rustic charm with modern comforts—exposed brick, live music, and the same signature pies that earned it the title of “best pizza in Georgia.” Whether you remember the old green awning or you’re soaking in the new patio scene, Amici is still serving what Madison does best: good food, good people, and a whole lot of heart. And on our walk to the new place after parking near downtown, every single person we met was smiling, saying hi and just being the most welcoming folks you could ever meet. Sort of like a GA Mayberry, USA. While researching the place on the internet, I found they have 12 locations in total. I am told each spot carries the same spirit: New York-style pizza, wings, pasta, cold beer, and live music, all served with a side of Southern hospitality. Some locations even have event rooms or patios for live performances and community gatherings.”

“My partner and I have been going here ever since we were babies (strangers). Now that we are together we go every chance we get when we are passing by Madison. We have yet to find Chinese food in any state or any city that we would rather eat over Happy China <3 Home Style Bean Curd, Garlic Eggplant, and Sizzling Rice Soup are the highlights for us. See you at Happy China<3”

“We had Amici Madison cater our wedding recently and everything was AMAZING! All night everyone talked about how great the food was. The staff was wonderful and working with manager Joey was a dream!”

“Ate here for dinner with some family members while returning home from Augusta. Our meal which consisted of fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, biscuits and coleslaw was delicious. The restaurant was pristine and clean while the employees were cordial and kind. A good experience.”

“Great staff. Thank you for taking care of us”

“Good food. Great service.”

“Recently had a family reunion at Hard Labor State Park had Cracker Barrel Carter the event. Food was delivered in timely manner, food was excellent, didn't the first complaint, only problem turned out to be to many left overs because of no shows. Would highly recommend Cracker Barrel as the caterer for an upcoming event.”
