Love the MadSo burger & the monthly drink/tee shirt challenges. my friend said we were too old to enjoy Madison social, she was wrong. I've been there for political events, baby showers, and date nights. read more

I wish I could say good things re the food but it's bar food and it isn't even good bar food. chicken was chewy and the veggies were rotten w the hummus that was below average. Burger was meh and tasted like cheap meat. Service was ok and the interior was your typical bar scene with tables outdoors for overflow. When we left at 4 - there was already a line to get in and they were checking IDs at the front. Best advice: Skip the food, stop in for your tshirt and beer and find better food elsewhere. read more

Bought 2 drinks from their bar. The bartender did not give me a paper to sign but gave me my card back so I assumed he auto closed it. (As I've seen before). Came to find out he tipped himself 40% on my tab. Very messed up. Didn't know that a place like this allows that. read more

Wow. The veggies on this hummus plate were rotten and disgusting. The texture of touching the carrots was like silly putty. The fact that they aren't violating health codes or standards serving spoiled produce is beyond me. Yuck. This picture is actually generous for how gross the carrots / cucumber and peppers looked read more

Madison Social - Hummus - New American Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Eaten here so many times through college. Korean cauliflower and BLT dip with fries is go to for starters. The steak board is always delicious but definitely something to share. I would always choose regular potato over sweet. But when it comes to their fries the sweet potato fries are hard to pass up on. Especially the sweet sauce they come with. Gets busy on game days for sure, and the menu is slightly different on game weekend so keep that in mind too! Drinks are always pretty good. Monthly challenge drinks can be hit or miss, but there's a good variety and always something for everyone. read more

I might be a little drunk but that chicken sandwich was amazing! I ordered the Real Deal Mahi and it was good but I made deal with my favorite nephew to split and he got the chicken sandwich and holy smokes, the slaw was busting Bistro fries have too much salt but when's dipped in bbq, all good Service is friendly and the HH is great read more

You absolutely have to try their BLT dip! Even though this is in college town, I've never had a bad experience or food or drink from here.

I stopped by for a quick bite and ordered the Thai chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The chicken was good especially the flavor but the bread wasn't the best and the slaw was good but the sauce however made the bread soggy which wasn't great. The sweet potato fries were a miss, they were salty and didn't seem fresh. My server was great and that's the reason why I gave a 3 start versus less. The ambiance was that if a sports bar. read more

My dining companion and I made a return visit to Madison Social. We found street parking a block from the restaurant. There is a parking meter. Make note of your license plate number! We were greeted at the door and given wristbands. We hadn't ordered anything from the bar, but its necessary in a restaurant/bar like this. We were seated pretty quickly. The service is good, but we waited for each part of the dining experience. The order, the drinks, the meal, the check, etc. It just felt like a lot of waiting. I ordered the Fat Fingers, which is an order of 4 generously sized house battered buttermilk fried chicken tenders. The menu says the order is served with MadSo Peruvian green sauce. I don't think I knew there was a default sauce. I just requested bbq sauce when asked by the server. I would recommend this menu item and have ordered it every time I visit this restaurant. The fried coating stays with the chicken and it doesn't fall apart. It's a favorite. My dining companion ordered the Thai Fried Chicken Sandwich, which is served as a ginger garlic honey tossed fried chicken, with red cabbage carrot slaw, herb aioli, on a brioche bun. The sandwich came accompanied by a generous serving of seasoned french fries. This meal was filling. Overall, Madison Social is a good restaurant and the food remains of high quality. The service can just be so-so. read more

Food was delicious! We stopped by during FSU visit during off hours and weren't familiar with the restaurant/bar. Will definitely go again next time we're in town. read more

I heave been here a couple . We went there for happy hour and it was a lot fun . Great place at college town .

Average... out of items on menu and other items taking off but menu not updated. But food we had was good

Good spot. 3.7 so rounded up. Service very slow but good was pretty good food ( even though they ran out of a bunch of menu items), ambiance what you'd expect from a nicer college bar/restaurant. read more

I had great service with Evan at the bar. Friendly staff. Good food and fun atmosphere.

I really want to like this place. The MadSo burger was awesome until I found a menthol nicotine chew (yes a used chew that I unfortunately chewed NOT on purpose) in my burger . Women's restroom was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING with mold and who knows coating the rim of ALL 4 toilets. I shared this with the MOD and he gave me a gift card (didn't need or want but was appreciated). Came back 2 weeks later... Bartender was different and VERY 'put out ' to serve anyone. Her replacement for the shift came in and LITERALLY picked her butt because her shorts were up her...RIGHT in front of us several times. She then used her bar rag to wipe her shoes and THEN tucked it in to the back of her shorts to start her shift. THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING and the health department should be notified. Food is very good; however the staff RUINS MY APPETITE read more

We went to Madison Social for breakfast after dropping off our son for summer B. Was there for lunch, which was great, and was extremely impressed with their breakfast!! As always service did not disappoint! And the look and feel of this place is on point! read more

Ngl the food was pretty mid i asked for no coleslaw in my burger but there was. the server was making tic toks. L food.

Had very mixed experiences here. First we tried to grab dinner on a Friday evening. Was met by a 'doorman' who told me that they were in fact serving dinner. I could not, unfortunately, bring my backpack inside for safety reasons. Despite being the only one at the door at that time, I was told that it was "unreasonable" for me to expect him to inspect the contents so I could bring it inside with me. I had to leave my bag at the stand with him. Fair enough. My wife and I were given 21+ wristbands. My kids were marked with "X's" on both hands for security. Once we got inside, only then were we able to find out from the host-stand that it would be an hour plus for a table. This really could have been communicated outside to save us the hassle of going through all of that. Big turn-off. Ok so Friday dinner didn't work out. We opted to return on Sunday for "the best brunch in Tallahassee." Sunday was National Waffle Day. Needless to say, my son and I ordered their signature Chicken n' Waffles. We were there a shade after opening, but our server informed us that the very item we'd come for was unavailable. However, she went to check with the kitchen and returned to tell us that we were in luck. Unfortunately, I'm guessing that the chicken tenders were cooked the day before and reheated, as they were VERY tough. Not inedible, but not good. In all honesty, I make better waffles at home. My wife really enjoyed her Glow Up Bowl Our server was very friendly and efficient. The establishment was clean early in the day. Plenty of seating both indoor and out. It's really a (sports) bar that serves food. Robust bar area, plenty of TVs airing sports, etc. Definitely a place for the college crowd to have some drinks and watch the games. Great vibe. I'd be way more receptive to it as a tipsy college kid, vs an experienced parent. read more

The food here is delicious! Freshly made and rich in flavor. The customer service is exceptional. Even on a very busy Sunday, we were provided lots of wrap around attention and service. At one point, the bartender got our order wrong. The manager came out and asked us to keep the wrong order (a treat from him) as it was one of their most popular dishes, while they prepared the correct order. The venue is simple; however, unfortunately, it smelled a bit like an old mop other than that, everything was perfect! We had the chicken tenders, burger, and BLT sandwich, and BLT dip. All of the food was delicious. read more

This place has a fun, sports-bar vibe--big screens showing games, neon signs on the walls, and plenty of booths for groups. The staff are friendly and attentive, and it's a nice spot to hang out. That said, it's really frustrating that so much of the menu is often unavailable. Multiple times I've come in, and not just one item but a large portion of what's listed is missing. It's disappointing to plan for a burger, wings, or other favorites only to find they don't have them. No matter how lively the atmosphere is, the repeated lack of options makes dining here unpredictable. read more

We sat at the bar it was not crazy busy! It was a very pleasant great music great bar tenders overall ambiance was lovely! We both ordered food and it was yummy! The tator tots were seasoned so well very tasty! Overall an amazing brunch a fantastic Bloody Mary a grapefruit mint mimosa too just overall yummy if you are in town for any reason I recommend this place 100%! read more

Food is pretty decent but very high priced IMO especially for a bar setting. Ambiance is VERY loud. Service is ok Drink menu not very extensive Other than it being in college town I'm not seeing the hype The cheesesteak had great flavor but cost $16 Chicken strips $20 they asked my daughter if she wanted fries which we assumed meant it came with which is common for chicken strips so she said yes and they charged us another $5 for fries! $5 for fries?? This place is too expensive for what should be affordable for college kids given it's in college town WARNING the cheesesteak has great flavor but is extremely spicy! My lips were literally on fire and my acid reflux was not happy at all. Would be nice if that was mentioned on the menu how spicy it is because I didn't see anything in the ingredients that made me think it was. Last time my lips burned like that was ghost pepper wings read more

Madison Social - egg sando with tots - New American Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

So. We have been sitting at the bar for bout 10 minutes. Still no acknowledgement from the bartender that we are here. She has actually just taken 2 menus and getting drinks for 2 guys that just literally sat down. We have just been acknowledged. Even though she did walk right by us 5 minutes ago. Not off to a great start for my first time here!!! So, we finally got our drinks and menus. But I can tell you that this bartender is not observant at all!! People without drinks, we are waiting to order and she is just aimlessly walking around. Finally one of the other bartenders has taken our food order. Food was ok. Not the best wings I have had. Probably mid to bottom 5. Since we will be here again, I will have to try the rest of the menu. The service at the bar got better as there was a bartender change. Wasn't super busy, but moderately busy. Will definitely make another appearance here. Hopefully the results will be better. read more

Had lunch brunch at Madison Social. Madison was our server. Friendly welcoming and gave us the menu rundown. We ordered biscuits and wings for an appetizer. Then individually had steak burrito chicken and waffles and Turkey BLT. Food was very good. My only comment was my burrito could have been a bit warmer/hotter. Scene is cool. Inside and outside there was a good vibe. read more

Great for a late brunch late Sunday afternoon since brunch it's until 4pm !!! I was so surprised about that .. there was many options for burger ; we order two of the classic and you can upgrade for tots or sweet potatoes, I order the turkey sandwich and it was a big portion which it was great to share . It doesn't get too busy for a weekend and the music was good. read more

Hands down favorite spot. Buff chicken salad is life. So are the drinks. Service went above and beyond thank you Robbie! I've eaten here 11 out of 12 days while visiting my sister and I only regret the one day we didn't go. inside is really cool but we like to sit at the dog friendly patio outside. Burgers are on point too they actually cook it to temp! read more

Food was less than mediocre, the dips were cold, the waffles were so rubbery we couldn't even cut them with a knife, my mule drink was flat, service was even worse, the restaurant was not busy at all. $250 down the drain. Waste of our day! read more

First visit to this restaurant which is view of Doak Campbell Stadium. I sat outside which has a view of the stadium. I got service right away and ordered a beer only to have the server return and say they were out of that beer. I ordered another beer and he returned again saying they were also out of that beer. So I asked what he had and I ordered one of those drafts. About five minutes later he dropped off the draft beer and quickly scurried away. I did not see the server again for nearly 30 minutes! Once he returned I quickly ordered the Comeback Catch sandwich and upgraded the fries with sweet potato tots. Not sure why the sweet potato tots were an extra three dollars, but that is what they charge here. Nearly another half an hour goes by and I received the food. Keep in mind, this was a Tuesday night and they weren't overly busy. The sandwich was good and the sweet potato tots were extremely good considering they had a creamy cinnamon dipping sauce which was outstanding. Overall, the food was good, but not spectacular. however, the cruddy service really gave this visit and experience a black eye for me. read more

Down and Dirty: service was quick but transactional and not thorough. Food was decent but not a lot of options. Fun atmosphere but not very clean. Service: Came around 8 pm on a Sunday night to watch the football game and have a late dinner. Was sat immediately but the table was soaked and the hostess just plopped the menus in all the wetness and walked away. Waitress came a few minutes later with waters and I had to ask her to wipe the table down. When she did, she didn't event pick up the drenched menus and wiped around them. The seats were filled with crumbs and. Ot wiped out either. Once we ordered, the food came out quickly but, the food runner didn't ask if everything was right or if he could get us anything else and just gave us the food and left. We had to wait for the waitress to come back around to ask for what we needed. Before we were finished, the waitress brought us the check and didn't even ask if we wanted anything else (another beer or dessert). Again, just plopped it on the table and walked away (noticing a theme here?). Had to wait, again, for her to come back to ask for another beer! She never even introduced herself. Poor customer service all around. Food: My husband and I got the Turkey BLT. It was good and the fries were seasoned well. My daughter got the brisket bowl which she enjoyed too. No complaints about the food and the ONLY good thing about this place. Overall: I don't think I would come here again. It was recommended to me (not sure why) so we gave it a try for out college tour trip. Very disappointed. Staff should learn to be more friendly, welcoming and thorough in their service. Very transactional experience. read more

When your in a college town you get such an upbeat atmosphere that the great feelings are contagious. This spot was close to our hotel for a bite to eat , the electric atmosphere and friendliness of the staff was great . We had a burger with avocado and grilled onions, cooked medium well and it was seasoned perfectly, the fries were a little lacking in crispness but I did eat them all , my wife had the same burger and tater tots that were super crispy and when we go back that will be my choice also . The music was great and even though we didn't have any cocktails the bar was huge with seating for at least 40 people . This was a great spot to take in the local scene and everyone was having a good time . There was plenty of indoor seating with an option of outdoor seating when the weather permits, highly recommended read more

Restaurant was not even full and it took 2 hours to get some burgers and fries. Literally was over 30 minutes before we even got our drinks. Food was okay, definitely not at all worth the wait. We didn't even wait for a table, legit we were sitting down for 2 hours before we got our food. My friend literally never even got her drink because they forgot it. read more

Favorite spot when visiting our son at FSU. Had an issue with a pompous bartender this week and mentioned it to the manager, Brendon. Brendon was so understanding and accommodating. We won't let the actions of one greedy bartender taint our opinions of this place. It's a fun, upbeat and cool environment with a beautiful view of the FSU campus in the heart of College Town. Food is great and I love their Key Largo cocktail. We have always enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend. read more
