Restaurants in Madison

“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.”

“Always my go to restaurant when in town. Best Mexican food available in the area. Service is quick and with a smile ?”

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch on the last day of our visit to Madison. The food was incredible and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. Our only regret is not stopping in earlier in the week - we definitely would have returned throughout the week! Thank you for a wonderful ending to our time away!”

“They always have good coffee and food every time we come , me and my fiance love this place they never disappoint”

“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!”

“I had the lunch special which was whitefish on a bun and 2 sides. i got the fries and slaw. That coleslaw was perfect. been a long time since I've had that good of coleslaw. The fish was great. it had good seasoning and all in all I had a great lunch! even though the place was very busy, we had great service and didn't wait long at all for our food.”

“We were in town for a girl's trip and stopped by for lunch before heading back to our home states. The sandwich options were many and all sounded delicious the two we chose, a CBR & a Santa Fe, definitely were! Folks were kind and helpful for us first timers!”

“We love the Tiger Roll & the Salad is the best!”

“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.”

“We absolutely love the boba smoothies 😍💙”

“Absolutely delicious! Had the Coconut Curry soup on special with a grilled cheese for dinner… best soup I have ever had in Madison!! I hope they put it on the fall/winter menu because I need it at least once a week!!”

“Bring cash! Best hole in the wall establishment we have ever been too. Definitely worth going in to enjoy great conversation and the food. If you leave hungry it’s your own fault.”

“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.”

“Stopped in and got a Mint Julep Iced Tea to wander around town with, absolutely delicious and refreshing! ☺️ Will be back to try their other drinks!”

Previous review: Excellent food and great service. We have eaten here 5 separate times and the food has been fantastic every time. Highly recommend the food here; take out or dine in.”

“I heard they had the best burgers in town, I had one today for the first time and they have every right to that title.”

“Head chef was super nice! My first time there just needed to find a quick coffee shop and found this one and it’s SO MUCH MORE. The options are phenomenal, and the place is immaculate. ☺️”

“As a 23-year-old just starting to learn about wines, visiting Thomas Family Winery in Madison, Indiana was such a cool and welcoming experience. The owner is incredibly passionate about what he does—you can tell he truly loves sharing not just the wine, but the history and story behind each bottle. He took the time to explain things in a way that didn’t feel intimidating, which made it easy to ask questions and actually learn. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic, and it feels like you’re hanging out with friends even if it’s your first time there. Everyone I met was super friendly and down-to-earth, which made the whole visit feel special. If you’re new to wine like me, this is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to keep learning.”

“Great atmosphere and awesome craft beer! This place has music every week featuring awesome local musicians!”

“(Translated by Google) Go to the little store. Buy your errand. Make your shipments. The manager is very kind. I recommend it ?(Original)Asistan ala tiendita .compren su mandado .agan sus envíos .el jerente muy amable .lo recomiendo ?”

“Omg it was so good and the staff was fast and friendly! Can’t wait to go back!!”

“We loved the big game hunting atmosphere with all the stuffed and mount animals through out the restaurant. Parking is plentiful and convenient. Service was very good as was the food that is competitively priced. I had the breaded cod sandwich with a loaded baked potato and my wife enjoy her blackened salmon.”

“Great meat department and produce.”

“We go here every Sunday before church to get a Matcha! Scooters has the best Matcha of any brand. They don’t add any sugar, they keep it the way it needs to be to maintain the health benefits! We love it.

This location is always cheerful and well managed.”

“On a recent girl's trip to Madison we wanted to support local small businesses and chose Boneyard for some local BBQ. Shelia was our server and had great recommendations. We had great food & service!”

“Excellent sushi! The "hibachi bar" is okay but there are a couple types of veggies I really like in my stir-fry that they don't have (but that's just a personal preference, they do have a lot of choices).
There is a wide range of choices of hot food with Chinese and American options so the kids can have a slice of pizza while you're enjoying General Tso's chicken over fried rice.
The cold bar has some offerings for making a salad as well as hard-boiled eggs (something I enjoy but generally don't see on buffets), fruit, pudding, and mussels and boiled shrimp.
There are a couple choices of cakes, cookies, and 8 kinds of hand-dipped ice cream for dessert.
For the price, there's no beating this buffet.

Parking: The restaurant is in a strip mall, so there is a large parking lot that is technically for all the stores, but there's always plenty of parking close to the restaurant.”

“I didn't get our waitresses name, but we have had her multiple times while visiting and she is always amazing! we had 11 adults and 4 children tonight at 6pm with this waitress and she was great! Took care of us in a timely manner, was on top of it when we ask for anything, was also concerned for my 3 year old when she got sick on the floor! Food was great, came quickly, service was awesome! All staff was friendly and the restaurant was very clean! Our waitress deserves a big raise or a big bonus! Every time we have her she is great and on top of everything! Highly recommend!”

“I just went through the drive thru, the only worker, Christopher, was so polite. He got my food out in an expedient manner. He apologized for my wait. He was the only person there, he didn't need to apologize for anything. I was shocked ?. He did a wonderful job!”

“We have only eaten there once but it was a great experience , my husband and I split a Rubin and it was the best I have ever had! My only disappointment was I went there for the seafood and corn chowder and I paid somewhere around $16.00 for a bowl of it. It seemed to me like it was made with small pieces of tuff shrimp, lots of potatoes and corn. It was not worth the money. I was very disappointed. I thought it would at least have cams with garlic bread considering what it cost . But I would definitely go back!”

“I've loved Big Boy since I was a kid”

“Bob Evans Is A Great Place To Eat Especially During The Thanksgiving And Christmas Season Because Their Thanksgiving And Christmas Meals Are Delicious. Great Family Restaurant.”
