It's a neat little place built inside a train boxcar -- narrow but clean, organized, and well laid out. There's plenty of outdoor seating available, not just at Boxcar Grill itself but also next door where you can sit and enjoy your food. Inside seating is comfortable, and everything was nice and clean. I ordered the Train Wreck Smash Burger, and fair warning: it is VERY messy. Chili, fried egg, bacon -- super flavorful and tasty, but you'll want extra napkins. Totally worth it if you don't mind getting a little dirty. I also had the maple bourbon wings, which were sticky, sweet, and delicious. Messy as expected, but cooked well and full of flavor. The curled potato wedge fries were excellent -- crispy, seasoned well, and a great side. Had it all with a Sprite Zero, food came out fresh and hot, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is a great stop whether you're solo, with friends, or with family. Fun concept, good food, and a relaxed small-town vibe. I'd definitely come back.

The Taste of Heaven just happens to be one. I recently spent nearly $70 on 2 chitterling dinners ( don't judge) but what I got was 2 rice dinners with just a coating of chitterlings on top. After waiting over 20 minutes, being only customer when I arrived , I was told that there wasn't enough chitterlings to fill both my orders and offered me oxtails on the platter with the least. Tired of waiting I agreed. When I tasted the chitterlings and the oxtails it was obvious that they had been thawed a couple of time. They were so over seasoned and spicy hot that it was closer to a taste of hell! On a positive note, the place was very clean with the strong scent of Pine Sol in the air, and the lady who took my order was very nice. But, I was so disappointed in the food, I couldn't rate them more than a 2. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER !

After Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, The Dining Room is the best meal I've eaten this year. Frankly,…read moreit's one of the best meals I've ever had in the state of Georgia. The Dining Room may be in a small town outside of Atlanta, but this place measures up to the heavyweights in the city. The service, decor, attention to detail, mixology, creativity of the dishes, and flavors were all top notch and very well thought out. They offer an a la carte menu or a 3 or 4 course tasting menu. Don't make the mistake I did and order a la carte. Go for the tasting menu. They say that the difference is that the a la carte portions are bigger, but I didn't really find that to be the case. The tasting menu is more of a prix-fixe menu as the portions are pretty close to full-sized if not actually full-sized. I mentioned the mixology earlier, and they really know their stuff in that area. Just asking for a classic cocktail, they asked the questions that most bartenders wouldn't think to ask. They really know their stuff, and I may have picked up a new favorite drink. Considering the full 4-course tasting menu is going for $99 as of this writing it's the most affordable fine dining experience you're going to find anywhere near the Atlanta area.

I found The Dining Room on Yelp (obviously, as every Elite starts before writing a stunning…read morereview). With only a smattering of positive reviews, I was skeptical if this place was the real deal for fine dining in a small town one hour from Atlanta and three hours from Savannah. After clicking around on their website and seeing the work Mad Hospitality Group is doing to revitalize the town, I am a firm believer in all of their ventures, and there is no doubt in my mind that I will return once again! I made a 7:30 pm Saturday dinner reservation at The Dining Room, one night before coming. We arrived shortly after 7:30 to a 3/4 full dining room. One of two waiters, who catered to the entire dining room, greeted us promptly, wished my husband a happy birthday, and asked us which table we preferred. After being seated at a cozy corner table all to ourselves, we both ordered a cocktail and settled in. My Negroni was so smooth, and my husband loved his Tom Collins. After a suggestion to try an "Old Pal" as a spin on a negroni, which I declined, my husband ordered it later on as his second cocktail of the evening. It was a hit, and we're now on the search for a proper bourbon to add to our collection to make at home! The amuse bouche, a take on a Reuben sandwich, served in a hand was the perfect starter to a wonderful meal! I ordered the 4 course meal without wine pairings, while my husband ordered three courses a la carte. I started with the Hamachi crudo with wasabi hummus, chili oil and Fukuoka seasoning was spicy, sweet and rich with flavor! My second course was the smaller version of my husband's first course. It was the almond-crusted fluke with a tomato basil sauce, my husband had lobster chunks in it, and some vegetables on top. The vegetables were perfectly salted and seasoned, the fluke crispy and warm, and the sauce deep with flavor! My third course was veal with a bacon-wrapped Georgia trout, stuffed with collard greens, some side vegetables, and a delicious sauce. I cannot speak enough about the crispy bacon that encased this delicate trout and crisp collards. The vegetables and accompanying sauce were outstanding! The portion size is very large as well! Dessert for both of us was a chocolate and pistachio mille-feuille with pistachio cream and an apricot gelato as a palate cleanser between rich bites of the dessert. My husband came with two birthday candles on his! We had one more small treat to finish the evening, not photographed but delicious nonetheless! Finally, how much did this fine dining event cost us? Well surprisingly, extremely reasonable! Cocktails cost $12, my 4-course meal with 2 small complimentary items to bookend the meal was $99 and my husband's a la carte offerings were $88. For $285 with tip we felt this was the best value fine dining we experienced in years, better than some Michelin meals we've eaten in Italy and Atlanta, and the service being personable, receptive, warm, and unpretentious! The chef personally came out towards the end of the evening and sat with several patrons, and handed my husband his main course. We can't speak highly enough of The Dining Room and how lucky we felt to have only great experiences in Madison! We will come back and try their other businesses and help support Mad Hospitality Group and their efforts to revitalize Madison!

We've eaten here enough times that it feels less like a restaurant visit and more like part of the tradition. Tonight I ordered the Blue Plate Special with hamburger steak smothered in grilled onions, collard greens, green beans, cornbread, and a big bowl of Brunswick stew. My unsweet tea stayed filled thanks to Rhonda, who was serving tables while also managing the restaurant. We learned that Hot Rod's started the evening with three servers scheduled. Business was slow, so one server was sent home. Naturally, that's when things picked up. Even so, Rhonda and the remaining server kept everything moving smoothly, and we never felt neglected during our visit. The Brunswick stew was excellent and gave us an unexpected opportunity for comparison. Earlier in the day we had Brunswick stew at Fresh Air Bar-B-Que. Hot Rod's version was chunkier, with larger pieces of meat, more noticeable vegetables, and a slight kick of spice. The Fresh Air version was smoother and more finely blended. Both were excellent, but they were definitely different styles. The hamburger steak was flavorful, the green beans and collard greens tasted like proper Southern vegetables, and when the Texas Pete hit the table there was only one thing to say: "My man, Texas Pete goes on the collards." Then came the surprise ending. We learned that peach cobbler was half price today. Unfortunately, they were out. Or so we thought. A fresh cobbler was still in the oven. For the next several minutes, the suspense reached maximum peach. Finally, the cobbler emerged from the kitchen and was served à la mode. The French gave it a classy name. The South perfected the application. Warm peaches, a buttery cobbler topping, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream that immediately melted with a purpose made for the perfect ending to the meal. It was absolutely worth the wait. Hot Rod's continues to be one of our favorite stops in Social Circle, and after another great meal, I have no doubt we'll be back again the next time we're in town.

I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with a side of fries. My toasted spinach wrap was slightly crispy, the Caesar filling was tasty, not drenched with dressing and the fries were hot and crispy.

Definitely a place to come again when we swing by this little cute city of Madison.
