Chicken Florentine pasta
Erin E.

The place was slammed on a Saturday night and we asked to sit at the bar which was perfect. They sat us right away. The staff was working really hard and catching up from a rush. The bartender was attentive and friendly. We loved the warm bread and butter to start. My pasta, unfortunately, was very bland. The Caesar salad was drenched in dressing. But the burger and fries were excellent! Some of the best fries! We also loved the peanut butter pie for dessert! I knocked 2 stars off my rating because a gentleman working expo - not sure if he was a manager or owner or who- was extremely rude to his staff. I don't know the context- but we could hear him barking orders to the kitchen from our seat at the bar. It was extremely disappointing to hear.

Surf and turf special

Great food, great service. Will definitely be back. The vibe is very casual. We had the special and steak was cooked perfectly.

Steak sandwich- lunch special
Erin F.

Sweet restaurant downtown Madison perfect for lunch! We arrived close to the end of their lunch rush with 10 adults and a baby- a tall order. The inside was full but the restaurant is deceivingly large inside and they had us seated in under 10 minutes. Took drink orders quickly and got the drinks out even quicker. The lunch menu is small but covers everything. Our food for all 10 people came out at the same time and in only about 15 minutes. I was super impressed. Sandwiches were pretty greasy and lacked fresh/crunchy elements but we all enjoyed quite a bit as we were hungry from a hike at Clifty Falls. My turkey pita press was heavy on the chipotle mayo/melted cheese/bacon and slid apart but the portion was generous and it was as advertised. Service was amazing and I'd highly recommend to hungry tourists like us! They are working with a tight space and are doing an amazing job accommodating everyone and turning out quick and quality food.

Stopped in here today for a late lunch. When we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately. The waitress was excellent and friendly. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a Winter Spiced Old Fashioned. Whenever I order a cocktail that has cinnamon in it I always worry about the cinnamon overpowering the drink but this cocktail was perfectly balanced and I would order it again. Our waitress, Darri, told us what the specials were when she took our drink order. The specials of the day were a steak pasta and steak tacos. The hubby ordered the steak tacos, they came with fries. I ordered the Red Combo, half Caesar salad and a small bowl of soup which today was crab and shrimp bisque. The hubby said his tacos and fries were very good. My bisque was pretty thin but the flavor was really good. My salad was good as well. The restaurant had wood floors and brick walls making for a cozy lunch. I was told I need to come in to try the dinner and I think we will. Definitely worth a try while in Madison, Indiana.

The Red on Main in Madison is everything you hope for in a locally-owned restaurant -- and then some. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the pride and passion the owners pour into this place. They genuinely care about the experience they deliver, and it shows in every detail -- from the warm hospitality to the incredible quality of the food. The dish pictured here was phenomenal -- perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and packed with rich flavor. Every bite tasted like it was crafted with intention. You don't just get a meal here, you get something memorable. The Red consistently delivers elevated dining without ever losing that small-town heart. The owners are amazing people who have created a spot that Madison should be proud of, and I'll keep coming back for both the quality and the community they've built. If you're looking for a place with outstanding food, great drinks, and a team that truly cares -- The Red on Main is it. Highly recommend!
