Had a business dinner with some associates. Been told this is the place to go in town for a great meal. Not so much. The food was very average. The calamari was way over breaded and over cooked. The brushetta had a huge amount of melted cheese on it. It was not good and was very heavy on your stomach.... More

My Wife and I have enjoyed Madison's Cafe many times. I love thier salads and seasonal apps. The tortelinni is something to talk about and by far my Fav on the menu. I enjoy the staff very much always friendly and ready to help out when you need something.

This is my favorite restaurant in town. I'd recommend the Baked Mostaccoli to anyone, any day! I'd encourage you to sign up for their eNewsletter list as they have great coupons they send out. The dressing for the Combination salad is the best, and you can buy it to go! We like to take our children here and they love... More

My husband and I tried Madison's on a weekend trip to Jefferson City. The decor is really old and a bit dusty looking. The dining room they sat us in was fully lit and a bit "fast food" feeling. So we asked to be moved to the other dining room which was off of the bar and more dimly lit,... More

When I think of a cafe, I think of a diner food type experience. Don't get me wrong, I love diner food too, but in my mind Madison's is defintiely not where you will experience diner food. This is an extrremely nice restaurant serving wondrful food. I know the cafe is a throwback to the many years it has operated... More

Our group just found this place by chance and decided to try it. I got the stuffed mushrooms and the salad. The salad was awesome (except for the iceberg lettuce), but the mushrooms were so awful...just extremely bland. I hate giving bad reviews but I was so disappointed. The service was great and atmosphere was pleasant but I paid 20... More

We selected the restaurant based on reviews and brought our friends, who we were visiting. They live in JC and had been at Madison's before. The past was very good and the salads delicious. Our waitress was efficient but not interested in us at all. Someone neglected to tell her we are guests.

We typically love to eat here and the food is always good. I love the combination salad. Their pastas are always good. We were seated by some serving area off to the left when you go into the main dining area. All the servers kept reaching behind my wife's head to get water and stepped on her purse a few... More

This restaurant has been serving JC for over 30 years. I have eaten there on average at least once a month through out its existence. Not only have I never had a bad meal there, it is probably one of the best you'll have in Jefferson City or Central Missouri for that matter. It's been under the same owner since... More
