“We had a family occasion to visit Madison's a few weeks ago with a party of six. We had reservations and the meal had been planned for a while. When the food arrived, we (most of us) were astonished at the small size of a combination platter. I personally had scallops and flounder. I had two TINY strips of flounder, not even the size of a frozen fish stick. What a disappointment. The scallops were also 'marble' size. The price of the meal, with an adult beverage, was over 70.00. The cost nowhere represented what the meal should have been. One of our couples asked if the combination platter was enough to split. The server's answer was "they could eat one of them by themselves." This should have been our warning. Very disappointed in the meal. I have had appetizers larger the two tiny slices of flounder. We return to Beaufort on occasions, as family lives there, but we will NOT return to Madison's.“

“Very positive experience. We ate on the outside porch on Friday evening. It was a beautiful nighttime view of the water & park, yet we stayed warm because of the overhead heat lamps. I had the fried pork wontons & my husband had the shrimp burger. Both were excellent. Our server suggested dessert - the fried cheesecake strawberry doughnut. It was so DELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“Samuel took my order and brought my food out tonight. I have to say that he was very professional and so kind. He needs a pat on the back and his momma needs to know that she raised a great young man.“

“Believe it or not. I was there first customer when they were located in the plaza on Bay street in 1995. And I still love their pizza . Still the best pizza in Beaufort hands down .

Vegetarian options: They make it to your liking .i haven't eaten meat since 2017. I normally get the 18 inch with cheese but there are other toppings you can add they have“
