Was OpenTable Diner at Madison's a mag?
My friend and I chose this spot for an early, pre theatre dinner. We were seated immediately, and had a great server. The drinks and food were delivered promptly and everything tasted great! Madison's has a great atmosphere. The only issue is the noise level. I have been here two times once on a Sunday afternoon, and once on a Friday night. Both times, it was very hard to hear the people I was with, because of the no... View all feedback.
What OpenTable Diner dislikes about Madison's:
Had the salmon and pork shoulder sandwiches, which were excellent. Sad that on a Saturday night at 7pm the Brisket sandwich was already sold out considering Friday was during lent. Also did not have two of the beers on the menu. Waitress was great, and handled it well, just found it odd that they were out of 2 beers and the brisket. Everything they did have was excellent.

Good food and AMAZING service. Love the dog friendly outdoor seating!
You have to try the Apple Raisin infused bourbon!!! Have them make you an Old Fashion using this bourbon!!! Sooo Yummy!!
Delicious food, ate brunch outside with a great view of downtown with a portion of the Capital visible. Had a dog with us as we were out of town and didn't know if there were any rules, but the wait staff immediately smiled, got excited, and offered to bring a water bowl. We had brunch. Corned beef hash (delicious with nice crispy potatoes, the meat was tender and flavorful), and 2 breakfast scrambles (toast was nice and thick, bacon had nice crunch, eggs not overcooked). We forced ourselves to finish it all, it was so good. BUT if you want a good drink, this place serves one of the BEST **** Mary's in Madison. Was not expecting such a good drink! Come to Madison's for a great city experience.
Best dry-rub wings EVER. Young man who was our server was EXCELLENT.Sat outside, great spot.
Madison’s is always a lively vibe and great food! The bartenders and staff are super friendly and the WINGS!! The dry rub with any of the sauces are so delicious! And I love the Cobb salad with salmon when I’m feeling healthy. There are so many fun events there too—trivia night, comedy night and more. Great food and a fun vibe/)Dietary restrictions: Tacos are a great option for gluten-free!

We went for a last minute early New Year's Eve dinner with friends. The server was outstanding...very fun and attentive. Three of us ordered the specials (2 prime rib and 1 lobster mac&cheese). All of our meals were very good. The specialty drinks were awesome as well! Due to the high volume of later reservations, we had to leave our table, otherwise we would have stayed a lot longer than 2 hours. We all would highly recommend Madison's! We will be back!

Madison's has a high-class sports bar atmosphere. The quality of the food was absolutely amazing!
Came for brunch. Great **** Marys and The Morning After cocktail was delicious. The poutine we shared with the table. Our kids said their food was good. Unfortunately, our had a little mix up and they accidentally used the French toast batter for our omelet, but they apologized and did not charge us for the omelet. Otherwise, everything was very tasty, really great service and cool atmosphere. We would definitely come back sometime.

One of my favorite brunch spots in town and great for game days! (Hoping they bring brunch back! However is also a good night life spot as well! My favorite part of this bar though is the staff, so helpful nice and memorable and I’ve enjoyed my experience mainly due to them! I have to give a special shout out to David and Christina! They are seriously the best and a tremendous asset to this venue, that will take good care of you!
Super cool and chill vibes, interesting cocktails and a great tap selection. Will definitely return to try food. It's a great place to hangout with friends in a downtown location.
There is this guy David who is incredibly handsome bartender and assistant manager. He had impeccable customer service and attended anything I wanted on the menu. You definitely should go and see him at Madison’s bar.
I had my going away party at Madison’s and had the best time ever. The staff was amazing and all of my friends had a blast. The private room was the perfect size for a nice send off. Book your private parties here and you won’t be disappointed!
Madison’s is back!! Great staff that’s attentive and has fun. The food is on POINT! The atmosphere is great and back to its usual high standard. And check out bartender Dave Miyagawa! Dude is a PROFESSIONAL and one of the best bartenders in town! This place is back to its former glory and I’m happy about it!

Had the salmon and pork sandwiches that were excellent. sad that on a Saturday night around 19 o'clock the brisket sandwich was already sold as Friday was during the fasting. also not two of the beers on the menu. the waitress was great and handled it well, it just found strange that they were out of 2 and the brisket. everything they had was excellent.

Don't order the Harvest Salad My friends and I were in town for the CrossFit Games. I wanted something healthy so I ordered the Harvest Salad. It was awful but I was very hungry. The iceberg lettuce was browning. The chicken had a wierd mouthfeel and I'm sure the grill marks were drawn in. I am very happy I didn't get sick from it. My friends had a burger and fish tacos. They enjoyed their meals. The drinks were good. Service was prompt and very friendly. I'm returning to Madison the city, not Madison's the restaurant.
