The Madison Bar and Grill Reviews List

The Madison Bar and Grill

The Madison Bar and Grill is filled with an ambiance and class that is usually reserved for Manhattan eateries. The formal dining room is cleverly decorated in a 1940s style reminiscent of a chic roadside inn. The décor works an evocative, magical mood, with bare wood floors, wainscoted walls, soft lighting and subtle touches from a bygone era.

Patrons can also enjoy The Madison’s eclectic American Cuisine at the bar, or, from April-November, outdoors in an al fresco cafe that wraps around the street corner.

Be sure not to miss The Madison’s Weekly Events, including the Sunday Jazz Brunch, First Seating, Tuesday Night Martini Madness, Thursday Taco Night and Endless Happy Hour. The restaurant also offers Private Parties and Off-Premises Catering.

The Madison Bar and Grill is a great place for families, professionals, romantic dinners or anyone who likes to unwind and enjoy great food, drinks and service in a sophisticated, comfortable eatery.

"Went for Mother's Day. They had no tables for their special brunch, so I booked a later table. We got there a bit earlier after walking around Hoboken and they were able to seat us anyway. Service was good, food was very good. I would go back."

"I was looking for a place to meet family that was convenient to New York and New Jersey and this fit the bill. The food was as expected, the service was good. Only complaint was that it was loud and a bit tough to hear, but it is a "Bar and Grill"!"

"Always,always great service and food. I took my young daughter there for dinner and she wanted to order off the grown-up menu and not the kids menu. The hostess and our waitress really made her feel like a big girl that evening with how nice and attentive they were. The food was very good, from the appy to the dessert. Love this place!"

"I've been to Madison Bar and Grill a few dozen times, but particular time they missed the mark. I think they were understaffed becuase it took forever to get our drink order, forever to get our appetizers and then my fish sandwich was served cold (including cold fries). Generally a good place to eat though."

"There was a patron with 2 little boys there. The boys became restless and screamed, ran around the restaurant
From front to back stomping their feet. So loud we could no hear each other talk no less the specials being recited.
The staff didn't even notice and did nothing. No adult management present to control

"Food was decent. Service was quick at first, then slowed down a bit. Parking in the garage was nice, but you had to spend $60 to get the parking for free."
