James Madison House

Don't Walk...RUN to this new Eatery! The wings and cheese board were delicious, the presentation was perfect. The burgers were mouthwatering, & chicken sandwich was yummy. Top it off I applaud the staff, their smiles were contagious. Owners Angela & Frank (an awesome couple)took the time to speak with us & made you feel right at home. We found our new happy place, and cant wait to go back. Bravo

What a unique hidden gem in North Madison next to Robert's Grocery James Madison House Bar and Restaurant is. We finally had the opportunity to visit. I must say we had the best wings we've ever had there! I've traveled and tried some of the "best rated" places for wings but ordered their wings as an appetizer for the family on a whim. They were cooked to perfection with a multistep, marinade, bake, and fry process. The sauces are second to none as they create their own sauces from scratch, not premixed jarred, and boy we can tell the difference. Even my picky eater child left nothing but bone! We're so excited we don't need to travel far! We ended up ordering more to go. Dare I say they blow my former favorite place (since they just took that favorite place for wings spot) out of the water in Southington! Seriously if you haven't tried them get to it, if you have friends or family visiting make a stop there! Absolutely delicious!

This place really impressed me. I stopped in for a quick bite to eat with a friend and was very pleased to be promptly greeted by Andrew. He was super attentive and completely on point. He asked our names and never forgot them all night even with a bunch of customers there. His co-worker Antonio had his back consistently and was awesome as well. The environment was warm and welcoming and not only did they see anytime we needed something but they engaged us in conversation and were awesome company. We came for a quick bite and spent the rest of our night there. I will be back as long as the two of these guys are working. Thank you for having these ABSOLUTE ROCK STARS on board. Keep them on weekends and I’m sure you’ll have customers as please as I am coming back and more reviews like these flowing in.

The wait was actually ridiculous, even just for drinks. They forgot one of the drinks entirely, and one person resorted to going directly up to the bar after ten minutes. We finally got our food after a full hour of waiting. The actual food was either bland and meh (flavorless fried pickles and penne alla vodka that tasted weirdly like mac and cheese) or not really what was ordered. (We ordered the potato wedges, and when they came they were actually stuffed potato skins, for example.) Altogether, we got the penne, a burger, ribs, a salad with salmon, and the nachos, and the only meal that was better than "just okay" was the nachos
