The restaurant was clean, bright, and had a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. If you’re gluten-sensitive or just looking for a fresh, delicious breakfast or lunch spot, I highly recommend giving First Watch a try! I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu.“

“I want to give a shout out to the manager, Kim who was absolutely wonderful when I called about our sons food allergies. She met us at our table, explained their process for food allergies, and ensured me that the kitchen staff had been notified. She personally delivered his food and checked in on us. Eating out when your child has life threatening food allergies is terrifying, and something we rarely do. So THANK YOU, Kim!! Your kindness means more than you know and Chilis is blessed to have you!“

“My husband and I just dined in Madison Cafe and were amazed how great everything was. Regrettably, we reside in Jefferson City for nine years without ever dining at Madison Cafe. We wish we had gone there sooner because the food, staff, and prices are really great. We will return to M.C. real soon.“

“I stopped by here for a quick dinner and the wings were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. The place was pretty busy but our server was still really attentive and made sure our drinks were always full. It is a loud and high energy spot which is exactly what I expect when I want to catch a game and grab some good food. I would definitely come back again.“

“Our book club went to Applebee's to eat and discuss this month's selection. The server was very good - giving us the attention we needed, but not too much. The entree was very generous and quite good. The only complaint was the piped in music was a little loud making it harder to have a discussion.“
