Madison's

Madison's was an amazing place to eat for brunch. The atmosphere is immediately welcoming with soft music and friendly staff. The environment is designed in a more modern style with older architecture with the restaurant being inside an old building right by the state capitol. The food service did take a bit longer than most but that is because everything is custom-made to you when you order and so nothing is pre-made before it is eaten. The food quality was top tier and mouth-watering. I highly recommend this place if you are stopping by the state capitol and want to spend some time to relax and eat delicious food!

Finding delicious yet affordable wings can be a challenge, but look no further than Happy Hour at Madison's! Their dry-rubbed wings with the scorching-sweet maple Sriracha sauce hit the spot every time. Happy Hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 4 PM-6 PM, so it's the perfect time to indulge. And for a refreshing beverage, I highly recommend trying their Strawberry Rhubarb Moscow Mule. Made with house-infused strawberry rhubarb vodka, lime, simple syrup, and ginger beer, it's the perfect complement to those mouthwatering wings.I tried the Crispy Chicken Sliders paired with loaded tots. The sliders were bursting with juicy flavor, while the loaded tots were a delightful combination of green onion, cheese, bacon bits, and sour cream.

TLDR: What a wonderful gem that is an unpretentious beautiful melting pot; all staff was genuine and having fun at work, food was gorgeous and did put up with my lower processed sugar requests, unique cocktails, and feel free to read more about their bathroom rant IN A GOOD WAY and down-low the music was incredibly on point for the vibe well done Context: I come to Madison a lot for work and family but they live in Middleton/West Madison. This was a last minute trip and the first two nights I stayed downtown on the square. I decided I didn't want the normal places so I forced my family into town for brunch on a Sunday mid-morning. Three adults and one 2 year old. Our incredible (and I mean INCREDIBLE I wish they lived in Texas so I could hire her lol) was our table staff and I think the GM or potential owner even gave my nephew (the 2 year old) a little ring pop and magnet toy to play with while we hung out so unexpected!! Taylor was attentive, super chill, and went the extra mile by admitting she had to check on a question and quickly came back instead of lying or just saying that's not their job. Taylor seriously made the experience. Then my family left and I felt bad taking a table so I moved to the bar and the bar staff took just as good care and even honored my bottomless mimosa felt so bad they gave such great service I tipped every refill lol good service is so rare now The food was extravagantly humble. The parfait was to die for and the breakfast platters were flavorful even if a "standard plate". My sister doesn't normally do locks and said the all bagel sandwich (in pictures) was very good!The cocktails - I will say I was a little taken aback by having an espresso martini with whiskey but was not upset. The spicy margarita was better than spicy margs in Texas and the bottomless mimosas were actually bottomless and they refilled with joy it just so relaxing and pleasant.Ambiance - they kept the older brick building but did the upgrades in the right place. If you look hard enough you'll notice they even put sound pads underneath the bar chairs such a small but important move in the restaurant/bar scene. The attention to the important details were incredible. Okay..... onto the bathroom...YAAAASSSSSS lol. This bathroom (women's bathroom is the one I used here) was one of the cleanest and comforting bathrooms I've ever been in even better than some 5 star hotels and restaurants!! It was incredibly clean, minimalist, they actually had a solid ceiling and closed stalls, the stone work was not cold and the gold to white marble tile was just beautiful. I cannot stress enough that the stalls were enclosed actually (we all know what I'm talking about) and the fact that you can't smell anything but clean without an overpowering bleach scent lol I can't explain it I just love their bathroom lol (pictures included). Im in love with this place. To be fair I did not try their connected ice cream shop but the doors were open and people were going in and out so I assume good things ‍

Big windows provide ample lighting for brunch and a cool scenery at night. Service was great, our server kept our drinks and water full. My tacos were absolutely amazing. They have a spicy sauce and a spicier sauce Fully recommend!

I don't think you can go wrong with cheese curds in Wisconsin. The cheese curds and biscuit and gravy were definitely my favorite. The sunny side up eggs on top of the biscuits were a nice touch and helped breaking up the texture. A lot of the people got also got the $16 dollar mimosas which is a price that's hard to beat. I can see why this is a go to place for my friends while visiting Madison.

A solid place for drinks. It's pretty old school industrial feels in there. Exposed brick walls, a center circular bar, surrounded by booths. There was trivia on the Thursday night that we went.We got fried cauliflower and the slider trio and their house seasonal cocktails. Nothing was crazy mind blowing, but the food was good. The cocktails were yummy (if not a lil expensive).Finding the door to enter this place was difficult AF. Just fyi. If you get lost you are not alone. Entrance is by the ice cream shop next door.

Went here for a Sunday lunch in the Winter but my GF & I live in the Milwaukee area so we are not locals & definitely won't be on the top of my list if I come back to Madison. So I will be a one-and-done here.Food was good-great, interior was very nice, menu selection is below average.I think this is the type of place where the menu is designed for college students, but is too expensive & nice interior for normal college students. It is a "drink" Brunch menu more than a food Brunch menu.Went with the Pork Hash & while the food was great, it wasn't that hefty amount of food. However, it was much more than the Classic Breakfast or anything else I saw walk past me.The inside of the place is very nice. Great amount of TVs for Saturday & Sunday brunch to catch a football or basketball game, but nothing to ride home about from the menu. Food was far from average, but usually I leave a place saying "If I ever came back I would get ***this***" but not here.Honestly for their brunch, there were only two things that looked worth it: Huevos Rancheros & the Pork Hash. Then I realized the Huevos Rancheros came with no meat inside.I think the place is a 3.5 star place, which is what it is at right now. Definitely wouldn't come here during Brunch, boring menu. They probably get most of their Sunday business because Marigold's is slammed & both Old Fashioned & Tipsy Cow are closed. Two places I wanted to go to were closed & next one had a 30min wait.

The burger was very delicious and the cocktail menu is extensive. I would definitely recommend it.

Went to Madison's once for a happy hour date on a Friday. I enjoyed the ambient music that was played in the venue along with the multiple TV screens displaying different sports. The venue was packed when I visited, but I was still able to get seating in 15 minutes. I balled out on the happy hour menu to try a lot of their snacks. The fried chicken sliders were juicy and crispy, but overall nothing too special compared to other ones I've had. Their loaded tater tots were very filling and tasty. I liked how the tots were crispy and fluffy on the inside, but the loaded cheese was too much for me to handle (I know we're in Wisconsin but I had to tap out!). I was VERY IMPRESSED with the chicken wings they had. The dry rubbed ones were so juicy and tasty and crisp. The seasoning was perfect. I will definitely be going back for some happy hour cocktails and for the wings. Madison's keep killing it at your wing game!

Great food and great TV's for a Saturday of watching College football. We highly recommend it.
