Restaurants in Madison

“I had heard that the mermaid cafe was a nice little restaurant for the Lake Caroline neighborhood where you could get a nice hamburger. I was pleasantly surprised at my culinary experience. I had some of the best red fish that I have ever had and my friend said the same about the fillet. The only thing that exceeded the food was the courtesy from the staff. Highly recommend it”

“First time trying out this quaint little cafe’ and I can’t say enough about our experience. It was great. Tommy, our gentleman of a waiter, was excellent. He was attentive, funny, & personable. The food was fantastic! GET! THE! FRIED! TOMATOES! Soooo yum!”

“Incredible service and food.”

“Great food and service. Highly recommended”

“Came in for lunch. Was seat immediately and asked for beverage choice and given the options verbally. Which I like. My drink was given to me within 20 seconds of me being seated. I ordered the sushi & tempura lunch combo and a sweet tea. The food came out very fast and was cooked and presented very well.”

“The staff at Beagle Bagel really came through for me today. I’ve been battling illness this week, and the only thing I wanted was their famous cheese soup! I called to see which fresh soup they made today, and unfortunately, It wasn’t cheese-soup day. Only a moment later, I received a call back and the same gentleman said he had checked the kitchen and there was leftover cheese-soup from the day before. I was thrilled! He literally saved my day. I wish I had caught his name, but I am very grateful. Thank you!”

“My family and I had an amazing experience at this seafood restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients.
The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality you get, which makes it even better. It’s definitely worth the money.
What made the experience even more enjoyable was the friendly and attentive waitresses. They were welcoming, polite, and made sure we had everything we needed. Their positive attitude really added to the overall atmosphere.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood and great service. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Best crawfish, EVER!! 🦞 3 of us ate all 15lbs and they were perfect. 100% recommend!”

“Despite having lived in MS for a considerable amount of time, neither my parents nor I had ever visited Applebee's until Saturday, August 2nd. I chose to order a chicken quesadilla and mozzarella sticks, both of which were exceedingly tasty. I am eager to return and try the Bourbon Street Steak or Strawberry Chicken Salad, along with an Oreo milkshake on my next visit.”

“My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch and we had Steven who has to be the best employee person in the building. His service and communication is off the charts. We didn’t mind waiting for our food which did take a while to come out to say it was slow but he kept us updated. I highly recommend him”

“We had an awesome time!! Our server was amazing. The hostess could have been a bit more pleasant, I still give it a 10!”

“We love visiting this location. It’s the closest to us, which is 1.5 hours away. The location and area is quiet, safe, clean and pleasant. Staff is pretty friendly. We are always in and out within minutes; we usually order as we are almost there. The desserts are always great, only had an issue once after dozens of visits. They fixed it. Totally recommend this location.”

“The food was excellent, and the environment was welcoming and wholesome. Your greens were exceptional among the best I’ve had in a long while. I look forward to coming back.”

“We ate at Sal & Mookie’s in Madison Friday afternoon. The food was fantastic and the service was the best. Laura kept our drinks full. She was wonderful. We tried a bit of everything, all fantastic. My husband said it was the best restaurant food he’d ever had. The pizza was outstanding. Crawfish corn bisque was wonderful. We were there for quite a while and during that time no one rushed us. We were a party of ten. I have to give them a five star review, because they earned it!!”

“Had a delivery here so I decided to try them. So glad I did. I got a chocolate cream cupcake(like ding dong) & turtle cupcake.. I love chocolate but I think the turtle is my favorite. They were delicious & so moist. Friendly staff. If u live around & just passing through stop & get u some. You will not be disappointed”

“An under appreciated gem in an area of bland corporate quick service and fast food establishments. Definitely get the spicy miso broth if you like heat, or need to cure a cold or fix a hangover.”

“LOVE this place. The food, the atmosphere and the entire team at El Som is the. Food is consistently delicious, hot and incredibly fast! We come at LEAST once a week and have been since they opened. We literally do not eat at any other Mexican restaurant, and wont😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Recommend this place EVERY time!!!! #seeyoutomorrow”

“Yesterday, 2/20/26 ordered at the drive thru window. Got the Greek salad with redfish and it was perfect! The feta dressing was delicious and the fish had a little crunchy edge❤️and seasoned just right. Also ordered the chicken strips with fries, very reasonable price and great hot fries! Next time I hope to bring friends and come inside.”

“Taqueria La Guadalupe is definitely worth a visit for tasty authentic Mexican. Highly recommend the Quesabirria Tacos & the Chicken Verde Enchiladas. Both were so good & worth every dollar. Don't forget to grab a Margarita pitcher during your visit too.”

“We got a cake for an engagement party. So many people asked where this cake was from because it was so good! Thank y’all.”

“I got my double bacon burger and Cajun tots delivered. It was the best burger and tots that I've ever had. I also got a chocolate milkshake and it was delicious”

“If you’re after real coffee and not a 1800 calorie frozen mocha choca frappe latte with Oreos on top from Starbucks, then this is it. First time going and the price on a latte is about 30% cheaper than other coffee in the area and 3x better. Multiple bean flavors - Super clean - Super quiet - great looking interior - and great service! I will absolutely be back to sit down and work, while enjoying some great coffee.”

“Always a positive experience with these ladies working! So fresh and friendly!”

“B3 catered our son's wedding rehearsal dinner this month and it was a huge success thanks to Jae & Chef Nick! The food was incredible--pulled pork and chicken with all the fixins' and sides plus an incredible charcuterie style appetizer table and fabulous dessert table with their famous bread pudding bites and lemon bars! The presentation was beautiful and Jae & Chef Nick were kind, efficient, professional, and so very easy to work with through the entire planning process and execution of the event. They truly made it stress free for me since we were from out of state. They made the event memorable and all the guests were above complimentary! I highly recommend them to anyone for ALL your catering needs! Thank you, Jae, Chef Nick, and Burgers Blues Barbecue - Madison! Pam & Mike Gergen, Columbia, MO”

“I haven’t been in yet but, I order for delivery. If you haven’t tried their Fajita Taco Salad, you are truly missing out. I’ve had it with shrimp and also the combo, and every single time it has been nothing short of phenomenal. The flavors are bold, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, the kind of meal that makes you stop mid bite just to appreciate how good it is. Karibe consistently delivers delicious food, This is officially one of my faves, and I can’t recommend them enough! I plan on dining in when my schedule permits.”

“I have always loved Jason's Deli and I was saddened when the Ridgeland location closed. Lately when I am in the area, I frequent the Jason's Deli location in Madison and each encounter has been a pleasant one. The manager..James...is always hospitable and accommodating. I am so glad Jason's Deli has returned! Good food and customer service.”

“Great food, great drinks, great service. Even got a little entertainment in the form of a hostess putting the smack down on another hostess with a menu(an accident🤣)”

“Awesome and very nice owners! Delicious and reasonably priced food! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10! Awesome place!”

“I'm not a coffee drinker, but I play one on TV. Service was great during my visit. The coffee drinkers really enjoyed their coffee and I enjoyed my hot chocolate. I wished my hot chocolate was a little warmer, but otherwise the taste was very good. I'd recommend the shop for your coffee needs. The atmosphere was warm and inviting.”

“Good job on the fried chicken. I won't get the coleslaw again but some folks might like it like that. I got a good assortment of cookies. The taste was like their shooting more for something healthy rather than the reason most people buy cookie.”

“Best coffee ever! Wide variety of flavors good service always a smile for you and shares the Good News on their cups.”

“Amazing service all around, fresh and hot food when it comes out and they actually bring it to you and offer assistance. Whoever is managing this establishment is doing an amazing job. I hope everyone there is noticed for their hard work and appreciated!”

“I went today for the first time and they were so nice, definitely will be my Madison tea stop! I told them what I normally get at my regular tea shop and they spoke highly of that business too. My drink was awesome, great service too.”

“Great food and great, friendly service.”

“We love Kristos. Last night I took a group of teen girls and my 5 year old daughter. Our server, Aiden, was phenomenal. The food was delicious. My 5 year old colored a picture and our server took her to the front to hang it up. He’s waited on us twice lately and is just wonderful. 5⭐️”

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!”

“The food were delicious! They gives you a lot for your money! I always satisfied with my food! The price is affordable!”

“Finally made it for the first time this weekend. We had the chicken fried steak and chicken and waffles. They were excellent! Environment was cheery and comfortable—not too loud even during a busy brunch. The restaurant was well staffed—everyone was so friendly! We cannot wait to come back”

“Food was delicious & the service was great!”

“They are the best!! When I want something new they remember my preferences and have always made something I love!!”

“Great go to for Mexican food”

“We visited for the first time yesterday for lunch & loved it! This was my boyfriend's first adventure in Mediterranean foods, so he was hesitant to say the least. LOL He tried & loved the grilled chicken pita wrap. I had gyro salad & it was delicious! We opted for the hummus & pita starter & it was delicious as well. The boyfriend wasn't sure what to think of hummus, but I think if they had a roasted red pepper hummus, we could have created a hummus fan yesterday. LOL We will definitely be back when we're in the area! This is such a great spot for a quick, light & yummy lunch!”

“Smoothie King in Gluckstadt is a great go-to spot for a quick, healthy option. The smoothies are always fresh, consistent, and made exactly how you order them.

The staff is friendly and efficient, and the location is clean and easy to get in and out of. Perfect for a post-workout stop or when you want something nutritious without sacrificing taste.”

“This is a gem of a cafe hidden away in the homemaker centre at Aspley. Rustic decor, good coffee and a simple menu that everyone will find something they enjoy!”

“Awesome and very nice owners! Delicious and reasonably priced food! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10! Awesome place!”

“I just had the best experience at Sweet N Savi Cakes! I placed an order for Valentine’s Day — an assortment of goodies (including chocolate covered strawberries, of course) — and everything was absolutely delicious as well as aesthetically pleasing. The shop itself is adorable with the cutest gift items & decor, and the customer service was absolutely amazing. You can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of what they offer. So thankful to have such a wonderful local bakery in our community. Go support them for all of your sweet treat needs! 😍”

“My family and I came for a quick bite to eat on our way to Memphis on friday and we saw the amazing reviews so we decided to try it. Absolutely delicious. Wish we had a pizza shack in Memphis! We got a veggie and a supreme and they were so good, lots and lots of toppings! The 3 young girls were very accommodating and they chatted with my young kids and helped us figure out what to order. would most definitely come back.”

“Chicken salad chick absolutely. Love it nice clean. Well, organize professional staff outgoing. The delicious food, always fresh normal size portions. Great place. Maybe not, but I think it's a healthy option.

Parking: The parking lot is not large but adequate.”

“We stopped in for dinner and the young lady who took our order made such an impression we had to leave a review. We forgot to get her name, but she was so friendly and kind. They had a store full of customers and the customer service was impeccable. Thanks for our dinner and for being so sweet!”

“Menchie's Frozen yogurt is a great treat. I like that it has no preservatives and no additives. It has a great variety of flavors. I'm so glad I found a good frozen yogurt place. I also love the friendly staff.”

“Great Teas and Shakes. Very Goid”

“I love all the ladies that are in there they are extremely nice and very helpful. Today was the only day were I felt like my business wasn’t wanted. There was an older lady in there that I have only seen a couple times but not often and when I said my order she rolled her eyes and sorta came off with an attitude like I bothered her by coming in but as soon as someone else came in she seemed super helpful. The younger girl in there tho was really sweet and had a great attitude. I normally don’t have a problem with this tea place so I will go back and hopefully next time I have a better experience.”

“great place friendly folks & the best loaded teas”

“I’ve been going there since I was a little kid that has always been annoyed for me to get a big thing of crawfish and eat me and my brother used to go and get snow cones. We used to play on the trampoline that they have for sale.”

“It's the best Starbucks in the entire area. It's located inside Kroger. The girl who serves is very kind and nice. She makes the perfect coffee. The flavor is incredible. They should just let you pay with a debit card on the phone app because it doesn't allow direct payments, only with Starbucks gift cards.”

“Great smoothies! Love this group of employees. They know me by name and greet me every time I come in!”

“This is one of our main go to’s for years in Madison! The service is always great and the cuisine is amazing. Their menu has a variety of options and we are always trying something new! Current favorites are:
Tom Kha Soup with extra veggies
Tom Yum Shrimp soup
Gyoza
Thai Spring Rolls
All sushi is 💯
Thai Noodle Soup
Spicy Basil fried rice
Green Tea Ice Cream! Try it!
To go orders are great from here too, always great service!”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“We were passing through Madison MS on 12/22/2025, and stopped to.eat at the restaurant. Our order was delivered to us promptly; the food was delicious; prices were reasonable. We were traveling from Arkansas, and we don't have your restaurant in our area. Next time we are passing through Madison MS, we will again stop to eat at your restaurant. The bathrooms were spotless; the restaurant was clean and inviting. We were very pleased with our experience. I would give y'all five stars and I wish we had one in Arkansas.”

“Love it!!!:)”

“We stopped in for dinner and the young lady who took our order made such an impression we had to leave a review. We forgot to get her name, but she was so friendly and kind. They had a store full of customers and the customer service was impeccable. Thanks for our dinner and for being so sweet!”

“Thank you Johnny’s Pizza for always delivering some of the best pizza around. I especially like the option to pickup through the drive through. I had the best experience picking up in the last week. Your pizza making team is amazing and the girls at the window were contagiously helpful and happy! Love to see these students working, laughing, and sharing with customers! You really made my day! Keep up the good work guys! The future looks bright! The pizza is amazing! Thank You! Merry Christmas!”

“Da’janae at the drive thru yesterday was very professional and friendly. She explained everything about my order and really made my day. I will definitely come back to this restaurant.”

“Love the atmosphere They are fast friendly and the food was delicious And I specially love the nativity scene Absolutely awesome 👏”

“I pulled around in the drive thru line and the young man taking the orders knew that I usually place a mobile order. He asked me by name if I had any changes to my order and checked it in that I was here for pick up. I love that they know their regular customer by name. It is warming knowing they care.”

“Decided to try this location for a quick takeout dinner and I have no regrets. I walked in, was promptly greeted, my food was ready on time, and the portion of my meal was great! My only gripe that isn't really a legit one is that I wish the carrots in my veggies were cooked longer because I'm a little picky with carrots. Outside of the carrot situation, the Red Samauri combo will be my go-to order for takeout hibachi!”

“Tried the new Bacon Ranch Nachos and I have to say they were amazing. My niece tried the Bacon Ranch Quesadilla and it was delicious as well. First off the host at the front was amazing, not only did she greet us at the door she also held it open for us making it feel as though we were welcome. We were seated immediately and the waiter was quick to greet us and take our order. Not only was the service great but the food was amazing. Definitely recommend this location for anyone looking for a great dining experience with amazing customer service and delicious food.”
