10 Best American Restaurants in Madison

“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!“

“Wonderful dining experience this evening! Staff was friendly and professional. My fiance enjoyed his salad from the neat and tidy salad bar, my off-menu request of the Spud a'broc was honored and it tasted rich and comforting. My little boy loved the ice cream and the guys restocking the supplies at the drink station were so nice to him. Ladies restroom was clean with no paper on the floors and all supplies stocked. Finally, I was impressed with the young staff hustling around, getting things clean and making sure the place looked good.“

“Great buffet had a wonderful meat, vegetable and dessert variety. Food was delicious and their bottled BBQ sauce is awesome.“

“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“

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

“My parents, husband and myself stopped in for breakfast. We had a terrific experience. The coffee was delicious and piping hot. The biscuits were huge and quite popular at our table. We as good southern cooks can make a biscuit to be proud of and these impressed us. The scrambled eggs were perfectly fluffy and not dry. The grits were creamy and delicious. Our service was wonderful as well. A great place to eat a yummy breakfast with the people you love!“

“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.“

“Dickeys has a variety of different bbq options and free ice cream with your meal. They are at their best every bit of ok. I generally the few times I dealt with Dickeys was having them out of a pure wish for bbq on a bbq holiday but unfortunately I had to work so we decided to get Dickeys as they were the only bbq place nearby and open. I can say truthfully though the bbq was not terrible it was not great either as a matter of fact I'll say the ice cream was the best part of the meal. Prices are acceptable. Atmosphere is okay and customer service was good.“

“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“
