New American Restaurants in Madison, WI

“Delicious menu options. Perfect portion size for tasting all courses.“

“Hearty farm to table food at a reasonable price. Great tavern atmosphere that got loud and lively after 7pm. While the menu is tilted towards pork and charcuterie there are plenty of vegetarian options. Menu was very seasonal, so we
Loved that.

Portions were huge, in my opinion, for the price. (Compared to hometown Portland, ME)
We split the bouillabaisse and a salad and it still seemed like the portions were large. Big wine list. Did not try cocktails but they looked creative and colorful. This spot will certainly be on the list when we return to Madison.“

“Good drinks menu but the food was so-so. Flavors unremarkable. No information on the menu for those who are lactose or gluten intolerant which is easy to flag on menus these days. And the random delivery of small plates, which was to be expected, could have been a little bit more even for our table of four. And worth letting us know, when we order, which dishes might take quite a bit longer to prepare and deliver. Nice ambiance and good lighting. 3/5.“

“We hosted our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at Madison's.
Sienna assisted us in planning the menu, Lauren was our personal bartender and Christina, the Manager, coordinated everything the night of the event.
The food, service and atmosphere was absolutely wonderful.
We couldn't be happier that our son and his wife chose Madison's as the venue for this special event in all of our lives.
We also opted for the ice cream for the guests at the end of our night and it was a hit with everyone.
Thank you Madison's, Sienna, Lauren and Christina, for all you did to make our night so special.“

“Everything was super delicious. Only "complaint" is that the rolls were too big and hard to eat. Whole section of clearly marked vegan rolls to choose from. Lots of vegan appetizers too that weren't marked vegan but waitress was helpful in letting us know. Note that miso soup is not vegan.“

“My ex boyfriend took me here for my birthday once and I fell in love with it. The king salmon and the chocolate babka are amazing! 10/10“

“The Carryout home kits!!💙 just did our first order with them and everything is packed so nicely. Everything has been delicious, staff was very nice, very reasonably priced, and I’m just so happy we ordered from them. Thank you! (If you order, please remember to tip on top of your order).“

“We had breakfast on a Sunday morning and it was a busy place. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Food came out in a very timely manner and was delicious. It was great amount of food for the price. Atmosphere was welcoming. Glad we found it!“

“Badger Tavern has really stepped up its game under the new ownership. Clay has perhaps the best work ethic I’ve ever witnessed. The food is consistently excellent, and you’re guaranteed a good time every time. The staff is stellar too, fun, friendly, and hardworking. Badger Tavern is now my go-to place for a ‘sure thing’! 5 Stars“

“Very queer/trans-friendly atmosphere, server was very attentive while still allowing my girlfriend and I to enjoy each others company. Food was excellent, drinks were excellent, all around great little hole-in-the-wall date night place. 10/10 would recommend! Well definitely be back. ☺️💜“

“Really awesome IPA selection!“

“Delicious food, good drinks, and a great service. One of my favorite places for Sunday brunch. Highly recommend!“
