Madison's

The first thing you need to understand about Madison's is that it is a bar, first and foremost. Actually, it's two bars: one indoor, one outdoor. A lot of places have scaled back the number of beers on tap the last few years, so I wasn't surprised to see only one tap in front of me. But, it was one I liked, so I ordered a Guinness. I got it in the can. No problem, but I need to know if you're someone who likes exploring the draft beer selection.My wife's Moscow Mule was strong, and reasonably priced, like everything else on the menu here. Sandwiches are served with chips, but you can get fries for an extra $2 and onion rings for an extra $3. The total bill for 2 meals with sides and drinks only cost $28. Take that, fancy pants west side restaurants, where $28 won't even buy the most expensive main course.Her grilled chicken sandwich was a bit dry, but the barbecue sauce that was served with it was excellent. She ate the whole thing. The fries were crispy and tasty.I ordered the Maddy's Melt. I was impressed that the food came out so quickly, but I'm not sure how they managed to overcook the chicken and under cook my burger. I asked for a medium, and it was medium rare. I wasn't going to say anything, but my wife is pushier than than I am. The bartender seemed to have no issue with remaking the burger. I would've been happy if they just put mine in the microwave, but I understand why they can't for sanitary reasons.Having something remade is a mixed bag. You do get what you originally ordered, eventually. But, in the meantime, everybody else has finished their meal. The replacement sandwich came out, and it was slightly more cooked, but still not medium. I told my wife not to say anything. They were nice enough to also make another basket of onion rings to go with it.The Maddy's Melt is a half pound burger served with sautéed onions and Swiss on rye. There normally is also a slice of American cheese, but I asked for them to only use Swiss. This sandwich really has potential, but it's hard to judge with an undercooked burger. The meat tasted like standard ground beef, and was not particularly beefy like chuck would have been. It was also greasy, due to the meat and the onions. But, considering how cheap everything is here, I could definitely see ordering this again, and maybe ask for it well done so it comes out the way I want it.It will definitely be back here, since the prices are great, the drinks are strong, and the service is great. But, I will remember that this is a bar...two bars, in fact. Maybe we'll try the outside bar next time.

Great venue with many levels and spots inside and out. The food is bar style and does what it's intended to do! The drinks were strong and the staff were pleasant.

Madison's Rum Runners will always be a classic, best outdoor patio bar near me in my opinion. Has a fire pit, outside bar & heated seating areas for the colder nights! Service is of course , always amazing

My and my fiancée don't get a lot of free time to go out....but luckily we got out this Monday ... we came to Madison's .....and billy and Jen were top notch.... Friendly.... Professional..... made our much needed time off together amazing.....we never had to wait for anything....the way they work together.... Is amazing.... Now that we know that they work on Monday together... we will be taking that day for .... Date night....billy and Jen are a valuable aspect of our night out.... They make us want to come back..... and we will for them...... THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!

Considering all the negativity on this place I was completely blown away by how amazing the food, atmosphere, and the service was! Jen is an amazing barkeep and is so friendly, the place is just what you would expect from a sports bar. I'll come back here again.

Holy cow. There is so much hate against this place. I've never had an issue from the numerous times I've gone here. I've only been here to drink/party. Their rum runners are dangerous! Have two and you're great for the night. The only thing I don't like is the plastic cups. One, it's bad for the environment. And two, the drinks don't stay cold. But that's my only complaint.

Jen, the bartender, actually came around the bar to introduce herself. She has a very friendly and inviting vibe.

If I could leave zero stars I would. Service was absolutely horrible. When I finally after 20 minutes of waiting for our waitress to come pick up my bill, I took it to her, which infuriated her. I told her I didn't know when she was coming back, she mother f'ed me and told me there were plenty of other f-ing bars in Mt Clemens to go to! I'm pretty sure she was drunk. Then proceeded to tell all the regulars at the bar what a bitch I was. Def not someone who should be in the customer service business. She told me to never come back, don't worry... I won't!Btw, only got 2 beers in the almost 2 hours we were there, she never came around! They were short staffed, but it wasn't that busy, and she never said anything like sorry we are short staffed, I may be a minute. (She had plenty of time to talk to customers around the bar)

Will never go to Madison's again. This place has gone down hill in the past year. Use to be a great place to go but not anymore. After half an hour sitting at a table, I had to wave down a waitstaff in order to get a menu and order a beer. We waited an hour and a half before this guy came back to take our order and he was totally rude to us. At which time I told him to just give me my bill and that I was leaving. This is the second time this has happened. There were 3 waitstaff working the patio and it wasn't even that busy on a Monday evening. No reason for such bad service and then being rude. I will never go back and do NOT recommend this place at all. If I could give no stars, I would.

Outstanding! We held our 50/51st class reunion at Madison's yesterday afternoon/evening and the best way to describe our experience is OUTSTANDING! Wes went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect. The food was fabulous, the drinks delicious, the wine selections were excellent and the pours were generous, the venue was perfect with both inside and outside seating, the bartenders were friendly and accommodating, and our reunion went off without a hitch! A special thanks to Wes, the bartenders, servers, cooks, and all of the staff for providing all that was needed for a very fun and successful reunion!
