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!”

“We have been in here several times and never gotten bad service or bad food. The cheeseburgers are my favorite, and the milkshakes are a must have! A++”

“Dean and I love the Red Pepper Deli. We eat there at least once a week, if not more. The staff is very friendly and the food is absolutely amazing. If you haven’t tried the chili, you are missing out, and the Italian sandwich is so yummy.😋”

“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!”

“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.”

The food is always good and the price is fair especially considering the serving size. Great for dine in or take-out.”

“Best bar in town by far. Great atmosphere and good bartenders.”

“Delicious Cod fish sandwich, friendly waitress. She checked on us but wasn’t too pushy, it was a busy Friday night. My buddy had a steak and he ate all of it, so I’d say he approved.”

“Love this place but, the girls working the tables needs to slow down and listen to the customers a little bit more and speak slow and loud so we can understand you better.”

“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.”

“Those who run this establishment were intelligent enough to set aside the smoking area away from the general public. It's hard to be a veteran in Madison Indiana because the VFW and the American Legion are terribly smoky. I'm glad that I became a moose member!”

“When in Madison, Indiana grab a bite to eat on the river front. Friendly people and great food.
Dole whip and a Johnny double decker.( I got mine with extra pickles and tartar sauce.
Oh my! Delicious! I haven't found anything on the menu that wasn't good. Fries are cooked perfectly. We get ours with a side of cheese.
The prices are also great for the amount of food you get.
When in Madison this is my go to place to eat for a quick bite and great view of the bridge into Kentucky.”

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

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“They're small stores but they have yummy seasonal drinks and treats. I like their omelet bites and burritos also. My favorite drinks there are the infusions.”

“I find it unacceptable that you people feel the need to slam a bar or bartender based on GOSSIP from the rumor mill that you feel you need to spread, or throwing a tantrum about what kind of seltzer you have access to! If they inform you that you are gonna get what they grab, as a patron I'm gonna assume there is a reason for it instead of kicking into Karen mode and going on about who should do what job just because YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR WAY!! That's childish and super petty! If you WERE a bartender then YOU would also know that on a Saturday (the busiest night of the week) it helps things to flow better if you understand that they have a job to do and you being picky about a seltzer flavor when they probably get them in variety packs isn't conducive to the line flowing smoothly. What's unacceptable is going online and attacking their job position because you simply didn't get what you want! I feel pity for you Karens of the world and those who spread worthless GOSSIP! Gett a life AND a clue!”

“Had there chicken tenders, green beans and Mac and cheese. Everything was great. The chicken tenders are delicious. The fish and hush puppies are also delicious.”

“They know my order from seeing my car pull in. They can tell me what my order is before I tell them. They are always friendly and respectful and I definitely recommend this place.”

“Has an absolute ASTONISHING breakfast buffet!”

“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.”
