If you are ever wanting good food, drinks, and atmosphere to socialize, Madison Social is your place to visit! I grew up in Tallahassee and recently have visited here on numerous occasions. The service and food is phenomenal. One of the most popular items on the menu (and my favorite) is the So Classic Burger, it’s even better on Mondays when they are served half off with the order of any beverage. Madison social is not only the perfect atmosphere for local city workers/ families to enjoy lunch during the day, but the perfect atmosphere for night life on the weekend. It is best of both worlds. Some of my favorite items on the menu, outside the So Classic Burger, include the Madso Burger, BLT Dip, Buffalo Chicken Salad, and the Brisket Burrito Bowl. When getting food, you can always match it with one of their “sociables,” some of my favorite include the Madso Mule, the Higher Line, and the Night Brew! If you are in Tallahassee either for work or travel (or live here), Madison Social is a must stop location at least once if not more !!! (Pictured above is a Madso Burger w/ fries paired with a Passion Fruit Mojito)

Food and atmosphere: 3/5 because we didn't have food and it was homecoming week in a college town so the atmosphere was alright, so we were pretty neutral on that. The service gets 1/5 stars because I ordered wine and this is how my glass looked when the server brought it over. They couldn't dry it? Fresh out the dishwasher, maybe? Idk. The wine tasted metallic, very weird. Also, when our server took our order, my boyfriend said "that'll be it", meaning please bring us our checks because we're gonna head out after these drinks. She comes back to check on us and asks us if we're ready to order. We say no, we just want the check. It took her 15 minutes to bring us the check. The place wasn't even slightly packed because, like I said, it was homecoming and this is a college town. Also, when we came in, there was no one at the host stand so we were left standing there for a few minutes but clearly, because of the presence of the host stand, we weren't supposed to seat ourselves. So we waited, and waited, and waited. Finally the hostess noticed us and someone else behind us, and sat us down. If you're this frazzled on a calm night, how the heck is the service when it's packed? Does it ever get packed? And also, we didn't order food because the menu was a "game day" menu and had nothing really for us to enjoy like on their normal, daily menu. Bummed but we won't be back. Thanks for the water. I wish I didn't order the Pinot.

Tonight when I went to order a drink at the bar (August 1, 2023), the bartender took my ID to the manager to work together to ensure it was real. I understand that it is standard practice to use all precautionary measures to ensure that legal sales of alcohol are made, including bending the ID slightly to look for a film. However, when I was given my ID back, I noticed a full length crack down the middle of the ID and a bend at a noticeable angle. While I waited for my drink to be made, I watched both the bartender and the manager (Burroughs) severely bending my ID in their hand before giving it back to me. When I approached the manager asking for an explanation for why my ID was broken, the manager argued with me saying he did not break my ID, it was just bent. It doesn’t matter what terminology is used, my ID was returned to me broken when it did not look that way originally. I asked for some kind of compensation for the fact that I will need to replace my ID to prevent it from cracking in half, and the manager told me it was not Madison Social’s responsibility to keep IDs in good condition. It was obvious as well that the manager was not sober, and had been drinking with the patrons he was seen talking with for most of the evening while I was here. I will not be returning. Incredibly disrespectful and rude.

It’s always a interesting experience every visit I have at Madison Social . First off after being seated by the hostess it took about 25 minutes for our waiter to come and take our order for drinks , and even waiting for those it took an ridiculous amount of time . Finally he took our order for the food and presentation was a bit out of place but the flavor in the food was definitely all there . Lucky we were able to order the “Stack of the Month “ a special they host every money with a different flavor of pancakes. *spoiler* this month of February celebrating love, the flavor for the stacks were Strawberry Pancakes with an extra load of strawberry compost on top with whip cream surround all over . One thing that definitely definitely disappointed me was the waffles for the “Waffle& Chicken” dish if the restaurant is going to decide to use pre-made waffles the least they can do is make sure it’s properly warmed up . The food came cold and had a very brittle gritty taste .Unfortunately Madison Has disappointed me again led me to having high hopes and brought me down with multiple easy fix cons .

Our daughter goes to school at FSU. She was getting married and we called about doing a reception party/gathering with her friends to celebrate. (This was after calling multiple places that didn't even call back) Spoke with Rachel right away. She was GREAT! So easy to work with and great communication. We decided to rent out the side room with an open balcony. The rental, food choices, and flexibility were great. We decided to do a sit-down dinner and then open for social events afterward. When we get there they even had menus with there names on them and everything set up ready to go. We had 2 servers who were also amazing and did a fantastic job. Once the social event started, workers were on it!. From set up, service, attention to detail, accommodations, breakdown, and everything in between, it was done with ease. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Our daughter had an amazing time, and I can't thank them enough. I would recommend them to anyone I could.

Stopped in Tally while driving home to Miami from Birmingham, AL. Whenever we're in town, we try and visit College Town to eat at one of the eateries. This visit we ate at one of the best, Madison Social. The menu has some great options, the service is always above par and the views are usually very good (for FSU Football fans especially). Madison Social has a unique indoor/outdoor type of space where most of the walls are actually overhead garage door windows that can open up the entire space to the outdoors. Perfect when the weather is good or for pre and post game dining and partying. This time our visit was in early August when Tallahassee is almost a ghost town and the rains come daily, so the restaurant had mostly casual and business diners. In two weeks, the town comes to life again as the university begins clashes and the students populate Madison Social and College Town.
