Restaurants near Canaan

“New to the area and stopped in for lunch. It was so good I came back for dinner! Great food and very friendly people.”

“My daughter and I went to downtown Madison to Christmas shop. I really didn’t want to drive up the hill and out of downtown for lunch, but it was worth the mile or two. The service was EXTREMELY friendly. The chef even opened the kitchen door in back where we parked to keep us from walking thru rain to front door. The salads were crispy fresh, selection was abundant and the sauce and toppings delicious. The pizza crust light and baked to perfection. We will be back!”

“This place is exceptional. The service, atmosphere and food is all fabulous. I was delighted to see such wonderful interesting and flavorful food. Hospitality at its best!”

“Triple good 1) good food, 2) good beer, and finally good music that is played at the correct volume. You can hear it, plus you can talk with friends at your table. Just where else do you go that has all three? Plus a veteran staff, bartender, and even the owners at your very beck-n-call. If you know any place in Madison that qualifies on 'all three stages', you tell me where it is.”

“My cousin and I dined in on Sunday Aug. 3, 2025 for dinner. We shared the toasted ravioli and each had the amazing chicken parmesan. Our server was awesome but I'm afraid we didn't get her name. Y'all were very busy & while our appetizer came out quickly the entree's didn't but that was alright! She and I have both been in the food service business before...we get it! Our awesome server did choose to give us a discount for our long wait, which was very kind. We appreciated it! So thank you for amazing food, awesome service and extra kindness to some gals visiting your beautiful city!”

“This is the 2nd time in a row we have ate here and then been up sick all night. We loved this restaurant it was our favorite Mexican place to eat. Sadly will not be going back. The salsa tasted more like tomato juice then salsa, We had steak and chicken burrito s and the steak was tuff. Almost jerkyfied. It weighed so heavy on out tummies even after going to bed and waking the next morning. So dissapointed. Our leftovers will be going to the dogs, cause just looking at it makes my stomach turn.”

“Among our top 2 pizza favorites in town..”

“I was on the hilltop and knew That Culver’s opened today. I figured if drive through line was wrapped around the block, I’d stop and get dinner for Traci Harsin and myself. The line was pretty long, but I figured I’d wait in line. Kudos to Culver’s! They have 2 lanes in the drive through. So it only took me about 15 to get to Odering station and from there another 5 minutes to get my food. I was pretty impressed. Not a bad wait on opening day! On top of that our food was delicious! Thanks Culver’s of Madison! Keep up the good work.”
