    Hinkle's is a dandy little diner/cafe we found recently in Madison Indiana. It's been in business since 1933 and they sell all of the diner favourites such as burgers, grilled cheese, tenderloins, and a lot more. I kept it basic as I got a couple of their double cheeseburgers, cottage cheese, and breadsticks served with nacho cheese. The burgers are White Castle size but really high quality and delicious. It even comes with the grilled onions. The cottage cheese was fine and I really liked the breadstick with nacho cheese combination as it was unique and different. The restaurant was really busy but everything was streamlined and we didn't have to wait long. Also unique is that the restaurant is kind of split into 2 halves with half being focused on carryout although there is some bar seating over there and the other half regular tables. Everything was clean and in good shape despite the age of the restaurant which I give them credit for and as I said the service was excellent. This was an excellent and inexpensive lunch and everything right and the local small restaurant experience.

    You have to go to this place if you're in town. They have an assortment of the best milkshakes around and AMAZING hamburgers. We absolutely loved the the service as well. We were a large group on a bachelor party so we're pretty rowdy but they were very nice to us and fun. Our server was Debbie and she was a sweetheart and gave us good recommendations to go about the town.

    I don't know where this magic place came from, but their slider sized burgers are amazing! They offer home fries as a tasty side dish and it's a great alternative to fries. There is cute counter style seating in one side of the restaurant and the other side has regular table seating. There are two separate entrances and you can't move between the two sides from inside. The restroom is on the side with dining tables and if you're seated at the counter, you have to go outside and in through the other door. You can't hop the counter. We asked. Service was great. The visible kitchen was clean and fun to watch. Loved everything about this place.

    Even dipped my fries in my strawberry shortcake milkshake

    Always love, stopping at Hinkle's when in Madison or just passing through. Their shakes are the best and the service is always friendly.

    Definitely stop in here if you're in the area. Their hamburgers are basically upscaled White Castle burgers. The milkshakes are very popular and I thoroughly enjoyed mine. The real hidden gem were the funnel cake fries. OMG these were sooooo good. Just like having little slices of perfectly done funnel cake.

    The nostalgia of this place is good. The service was pleasant and average on wait time. The burger was a little bigger than your typical slider. I was hoping for some seasoning on the burger. it was straight out of the package and dry. I opted to take the top off as who needs the extra carbs when it's not good. the onion rings on the other hand were very tasty. It's one of those places you visit, because who doesn't visit Hinkles when in Madison, IN? It's been around for a very long time and it's always good to support local businesses.

    The food is greasy, diner food but a Madison staple! It's a must have when visiting town! Slider burgers before the slider movement. Small takeout or dining area with counter service. Prices are cheap.

    This is the cutest little diner! A real hole in the wall, if you will. There's bar seating for about ten. We placed an order for pickup because we were preparing for an event down the block. Service was good, it was lunch time, and a little crowded, but the wait to pickup out order wasn't terribly long. We weren't the only ones there to pickup an order, and they're was only one seat at the bar that was open. The food itself was very good, everyone in our party that ordered was happy with their choices; some people had burgers, one had the grilled cheese - they have a fairly diverse menu. I had the Chicken tenders and curly fries. The fries were well seasoned, the tenders were perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity of food per order.

    This is the epitome of a 60s diner restaurant with burgers fries and milkshakes and a few more goodies. They have a counter and stools from our past eras. It was so fun. The burgers are so delicious and the smell you get when you walk past is so amazing you will walk right in and order.

    This is a neat little burger/shake shop right on the main road in Madison. It's like stepping into a time machine (in a good way). The burgers are a little small, but dirt cheap so order a few (or get a double). And don't miss the milkshakes either (they have dozens of flavors).

    Two double cheeseburgers (slider size). Objects are larger in the picture than they appear in real life.

    If you're looking for a diner, this is the place. Junior burgers are great, their hashbrowns with gravy are my favorite!

    We completed our day at the Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art. Now we were hungry…read more I looked up in Yelp for local restaurants and Harry's Stone Grill came up. So drove around looking for a place when we did come upon Harry's. The parking lot was almost full. We entered and spoke to hostess and received a possible 45 minute wait; lobby was full; but we put our name down. Tired to see if sitting room in bar but packed. People seemed to be moving at steady pace. We were actually seated in about 25 minutes. Waitresses and waiters bustling about, our waitress was Alyssa and promptly attended us but said she was really busy but would get us started. Water; drink order placed. Took awhile for drinks since bar was full. She stopped by and asked if we wanted an appetizer or bread while waiting. We asked for bread and soon returned with nice pumpernickel loaf and butter. She came back and took food orders and drinks followed. It was a bit of a wait but this place was humming. Staff dashing left and right and at times close calls as they took care of patrons. Ordered prime rib special medium and rare. Salads came pretty quick and very tasty and looked fresh. Alyssa kept us informed all the way through our dining process. We were so pleased by her service. Hadn't had service like this in a long time- top notch. Our steaks arrived and were perfect! I highly recommend trying this place! Best steak place in probably 40 mile radius that's really a steak house!

    This is like one of my favorite places to eat and hang out in their bar in Madison. Cass is such a…read moregreat and friendly bartender and the food is really good. I'd highly recommend going there if you have the opportunity.
