Good food, great service

Really wanted to sit at one of the many empty tables alongside the river but was told no...several others sat there from time to time...not sure why we couldn't and wasn't given a reason.

I date a guy in Ohio and I live in Madison, Indiana, and he surprised me on my birthday weekend and brought me there to eat. I really love the place. Hopefully I get to come back again.

If you only have two or four in your group it's hard to keep everyone in the shade from the table with the umbrella outside. A big group inside is much easier. You also have to hope for good weather. Can get nasty if you're eating outside when a storm pops up.

If I could leave a 0 star review I would. I used to LOVE the cabana and would go at the very least once a month. Most of this story is about a server named Morg. From the beginning she was rude. We had gotten starbucks about an hour before so we all had a little bit left in our cups. Keep in mind their sign and online policy is no outside alcohol everyone I was with was CLEARLY 18 and under and it was 4pm. She didn’t let 3/4 of us order a drink. We had planned on getting drinks but she didn’t even give us the chance to order. We were all having a good time it was mildly empty when we had arrived. She came over and in a very disrespectful tone told us to get rid of our drinks I okay I’ll throw them away. She SNATCHED them out of my hand and walked away. After that she proceeded to get my order wrong adding bacon to my grilled cheese (I dont eat meat) which if she wasn’t already so rude I would not have cared because she is human. We had gotten potato skins all 4 of us tried them. Genuinely I would have rather eaten a raw fish from the Ohio river. After eating we asked for a box for the chicken strips and the check. Post asking for the check she refused to come up to us and also was openly gossiping about us. The entire staff was then very disrespectful watching us walk to my car. Keep in mind we all used our manners because we weren’t raised in a barn and keep how we felt to ourselves. I will not be returning and will never recommend it again.

Me, my 2 sisters and my best friend went there for a late lunch early dinner. We had gotten starbucks within the last hour and all had a little bit left so we brought it in because it only said no alcohol at the front door. Our server walked over and only let 1 out of the 4 of us order a drink when we all planned on ordering something. She then walked back and rudely told us that we needed to throw away our drinks. mind you all of us are clearly under 21 and the drinks had the starbucks logo on it so they were clearly not alcoholic. She then snatched my little sister’s drink out of her hand and cornered my older sister who said she would throw away our drinks and snatched them out of her hands. Then she got my sisters order wrong which wouldn’t have been a big deal but she doesn’t eat meat and asked for a grilled cheese with no bacon and so we asked her to re make it. She constantly stood very close to me which made me very uncomfortable. we asked for 2 boxes and when she brought them out we asked for the check. She then walked away and started to talk to other employees about us in the open making everyone stare at us. Another server walked over and asked us if it was 1 or more checks and so we said one and our original server did not walk back over and left us for the other server. we all kept to ourselves but they were staring at us the whole way out including adult males staring at my little 14 year old sister. Our original servers name was morg.

Great place on the river with wonderful table service and great food. My group has been a couple of times and never had anything they didn't enjoy!

The seating service was a little chaotic even when they weren't busy (we made sure to arrive before the dinner rush). Lots of people standing around with one person seemingly in charge but easily distracted. They apologized several times - but that process could be improved as customers were waiting and didn't know why (plenty of open tables).
