Went to Marigold Kitchen and was really impressed!…read more I was in Madison for a layover and I asked the hotel receptionist if he had any recs for breakfast- he pointed me to Marigold Kitchen. The atmosphere is homey and the staff were warm and attentive. I like how it's located in the center of downtown. I got a seasonal pumpkin spice muffin and fresh squeezed orange juice to start. The muffin was soft and had good pumpkin flavor. The OJ was pulpy and fresh. I also got an americano, which was bold and smooth. For the main breakfast, I got the breakfast bowl and subbed sweet potato for regular potato. The bowl was outstanding! The verde slaw was unique but super refreshing. The meat and potato combo was spiced nicely and satisfying. The chipotle aioli added a welcomed heat and the eggs were fluffy and delicious. All of this was under $25! Great pricing.

I was looking forward to the cheese curds and local food in Madison. Marigold local spot that been around for sometime and located in capital square. Really beauty of Madison all restaurants same area next to the state capital building. My first full day in Madison came to Marigold. Talked about packed but thankfully went by quick. I love interior has old school diner vibe. U wait get assign table. U go up counter place order then sit down and server brings food out. At counter see baked goods they looked so good. We got some cinnamon muffins to take back to hotel. Delicious. I got the French toast. Da bomb. The brioche bread. All fresh berries. It perfect. I got matcha raspberry iced tea. It was refreshing. The service was five stars. Everyone interacted with was friendly, attentive, and all smiles. If in Madison, WA looking for breakfast spot Marigold kitchen winnah!

My daughter had the pancake and sausage link which were also very good. Portions are large, prices are good, and the servers are all very personable. I don't typically allow my daughter to have a lot of sugar but when we first arrived, our server Danette gave a little cup of fruit loops to my almost 2 year old to keep her occupied until the food came out. If you're looking for some good food and decent prices, this is the place. We love a good simple diner with great food and great service.

It was off the highway, so I thought I would give it a go. Walked in and it was what you would expect from a Wisconsin diner -- old carpeting, waitresses who are lifers, and signage from the bygone era. I sat at the bar, with barstools that came about 4 feet off the ground, and asked the cordially waitress what was good. She rattled off about 3/4 of the breakfast menu so I needed a few minutes. A few minutes passed and I went with the Krab Cakes Benedict (why the K?) and the Cottage Platter. The crab cakes were decent (definitely better than the Cottage Platter), but very crisp on the outside, straddling the line of burnt, and somewhat cooked on the inside. Light on the seasoning. As they say on the cooking shows, it was screaming for some acidity...or in this case some Old Bay. Then the Cottage Platter, which I was very much looking forward to, fell flat for me. The hashbrowns had a funky taste to them, which I couldn't quite place. And again, overall, the dish was lacking in flavor. Would I go out of my way to hit this place up again? Most likely not. If I was in the area and wanted to try something else, I probably would.

The space is so cute and quaint inside: it makes you feel like you're in a cozy neighborhood spot. And you are! I love that there's not many seats in here - makes it feel extra special. Our server was great and attentive. I ordered the omelette with hashbrowns, and my friend got the breakfast plate plus fruit - both were delicious. Hashbrowns were plentiful and hit the spot! We loved dining here, and I'd absolutely recommend to others in the area!

I don't know who their chefs are, but they are doing an incredible job. The restaurant was very accommodating with substitutions, which I really appreciated. Even though the restaurant was busy, my food came out quickly. My waitress was amazing. She was so kind, helpful, and made sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. You absolutely have to try the horchata iced coffee. It was hands down one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had!

If you're reading this and it's not the end of May 2025, go check it out. But not if the weather is super suspect because you stand outside to wait your turn at the counter! I had the trio and those were some of the best pancakes I've ever had. I wish they kept the butter on the tables so it was softer and easier to spread! I appreciated a truly pretty and fresh tasting fruit cup with a variety of fruit, and the chorizo was fantastic with great flavor and heat. I didn't try the coffee but my friends appreciated the different flavor option. I want to redo my kitchen with their lighting and wonder if they'll auction it off?

I always get a house salad and I opted for soup this round. The soup was so ick. It was French Onion and it was weirdly sweet. My daughter ordered a shrimp rice bowl that seemed very skimpy.

It was Thursday evening and they had a ribs/pulled pork special. We waited about 10 minutes at the bar for a table. The bar and atmosphere is great. Pretty bar lights and an old wood bar. We were seated by the window with a great view of the capital. My daughter and I shared the rib dinner and had plenty of food for us. Our waitress was new and learning but was doing a good job. I'd definitely come back.

It makes me think that Madison is not a diverse food city. Differently story for a different day. IMHO, no self respecting brunch place should serve Tropicana orange juice. They should also have more specialty coffees. On this day, their waffle maker was broken. Seriously? A brunch place with one waffle maker? The server came to visit rarely and kept forgetting that we had asked for a drink. It was only when we asked the manager to get us the drink that it finally arrived. Having said all this, I will say that the building that houses this restaurant is nice. This one fact hides a lot of their shortcomings and we keep ending back here. My final comment is that if I were the chef at this place, I would not put my name on the menu, especially the pastry chef because I saw only one pastry on the menu: the cinnamon rolls. What a joke this place is!
