We chose Jimmy Madison's based on reviews for best restaurants in Harrisburg, VA. It did not disappoint. We were welcomed and seated right away going up a narrow, spiral staircase to a second floor in a very old, historic building on Main St. It has an open floor plan so tables on each side can actually look down over the first floor tables. No pics as I didn't want to distract others dining below. There is a cozy looking bar on the first floor close to the entrance. Would have loved to try their whiskey flights and other tempting cocktails but this was a traveling stop with many more miles yet to drive. Now to the food. First, we had fried pickles. SO good. My husband is a meatloaf lover. Never had a "smoked" one before but he enjoyed every bite. He also really liked the side of broccoli salad. My choice was "From The Pit". After asking our server about how much lean vs fat their brisket tends to have, I chose to try it. Very tasty but a lot more fat than I expected which is why food got 4 stars instead of 5. It was the highest priced item on the menu so I expected more lean. Having said that, the portions of everything are quite generous. I have enough in my take home box for another whole meal. The Yukon gold mashed potatoes were creamy, well seasoned and delicious. The coleslaw was pretty standard but cold, crisp and fresh. The fresh brewed iced tea was also very good. The desserts sounded wonderful (there are 3, we were told) but we were too full to try one. Our server, Sarah, was pleasant, attentive, helpful with suggestions and patient with my questions. They play quite an eclectic variety of music here. Everything from Jazz and Blues to Country and Rock n Roll. I really enjoyed that. The HVAC system is quite loud when it is running and it got rather chilly. But that is to be expected in this type of old, brick building. There is a skylight above the second floor so on this beautiful, warm, sunny day, the light was lovely but it gets hot up there quickly so the AC kicked on often and you just get used to the sound. I highly recommend Jimmy Madison's and hope to...

October 8th, 2023 visit - Yet again, It just keeps getting better and better - We had a turbulent time with our sick 10 year old. But the staff was AMAZING! Especially Marissa. She handled the bumps, helping clean up, with all this chaos, the She provided incredible service it was PERFECT, wonderful friendly waitress, she rolled with the punches and provided an outstanding environment service with food, drinks and keeping on top of our needs. I know I am sounding repetitive, but Jimmy Madison is our favorite place.

Another Visit on May 2nd 2023 - What else can I say.. This is getting repetitive - This time it was Ambria; she provided exceptional service, very friendly and pro-active. Awesome food as always. Can not get enough of those Brussel Sprouts. Needless to say this place is a MUST GO TO when ever we are in Harrisonburg. Thank you again....

.. Review 2023 Review - Jimmy Madison is at it again - The are relentless. The same exceptional service, Daniel (our waiter) was incredible and very proactive. never had to ask for a thing, even when the kitchen was a little slow, he kept us informed and it was clear he was looking out for us. The food was as always TOP NOTCH. We always enjoy our time and food here.

2022 Review So worth the trip and the time to have an amazing meal with the Family. There was a short wait and the gentleman at the Host Station was very friendly and offer us a place at the bar where Maddy took stellar care of us. She was so busy with tables around the bar, the Waitron's Drink Orders and help us out each step of the way as we enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts and the Smoke Wings...... When we sat at our table Dillon jumped right in and did not miss a beat. He was so pro-active with our drinks, making suggestions and paid attention to the little detail that made the meal that much more enjoyable beyond the delicious Smokehouse Burger, Brisket and Chicken Tenders for our son. Every time we come to Harrisonburg, Jimmy Madison's will be our place for great service and a...

Morgan our server was fantastic. She was early in her training but did an excellent job of waiting on our table and explaining the menu. Very personable and made numerous checks on the table to see if there's anything we needed. The atmosphere is very open and inviting with a lounge area and an upstairs dining area. We were able to get seated right away. Facilities are very clean as well. The reason for three stars was overall I was not very impressed with the meats in the combo. I ordered the brisket and smoked meatloaf. Morgan return to the table a few minutes later to inform me they were out of brisket which was the one item I was looking forward to most. She stated at the brisket goes really quickly every day. I most certainly understand food cause but it's a little disappointing that was still over 2 hours left to be open that brisket was already out of stock. I ended up ordering the pulled pork to go with the meatloaf. I was extremely disappointed in the meatloaf. The slice was very thin and The taste was just not that good to me. Could have just been the piece I had but I did not enjoy it. The pulled pork was decent but didn't stand out in comparison to a pulled pork I've had before. The other two guys with me also ordered the pulled pork in both felt it was just okay. I did enjoy the macaroni and cheese. Also tried the oak and Eden sour and it was delicious as well. If I'm in the area again I would like to give it a second go-around and hopefully try the brisket. Some others I work with recommend that we try it as we were in from out of town. Out of everything the meatloaf is the only thing I personally wouldn't recommend.
