Madison’s Pub & Grill

Just an update. Leave the baked oysters and grilled octopus alone. I want all of it!
I’ve never had it so tender in my life.
Everything we’ve had there is amazing.

Was once my favorite. However when I walked in today greeted, as usual by hostess, I passed by 2 waitresses talking
Hostess laid menu on table. Manager or owner talking at bar. Waitresses still talking after 5 minutes! At Madison’s Pub in Burr Ridge
What a shame; I always tip over 20%. Will not go back there soon!!!
Went to Porterhouse next door, fantastic planked salmon Also fresh pineapple tres leche cake. Thank you Sue

I loved there burgers, very clean place to stop for lunch.

Another great experience! Had the crab cakes and southwest bites as appetizers. Of course the drinks are fabulous! Then we shared the margarita pizza-​very good!
Looking forward to trying more food!

As the one who suggested we give this place a try, I was a little disappointed in the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The food was decent and our server did a fine job, but the place lacks a personality that was noticeable to all in our group.
The food was actually better than I thought it was going to be based on how the place just felt to me. My fish tacos were quite tasty and my friend went with the BBQ chicken Flatbread at our server’s suggestion and, while a little overwhelming with the BBQ flavor, was a large portion that was certainly shareable. The salads were also quite good.
It wasn’t busy on the night we were there so I was also a bit surprised it took so long for the drinks to come up. But our server, Elisabeta, was great, apologizing for the delay and making sure our food came up quickly.
The prices are reasonable and there is plenty of parking. I just wish it felt more like the neighborhood place it looks to be from the outside.

Friendly hard working staff. Wide variety of delicious food for any palate. Came for St Patrick’s Day and had great corned beef too.

Had lunch here today with my family and really enjoyed it. Nice menu items with fresh ingredients. Very reasonable prices. Our waiter was pleasant and knowledgeable. Nice décor too! I would definitely recommend Madisons.

Never again. I was the only person at the bar when I ordered lunch. Bartender gave my burger to someone else. The manager generously bought me a drink (water).
I went to pay and my card wasn’t scanning so I told her that I would just pay cash and away I went.
Later that afternoon I checked my bank account and not only did the run my $ 15.66 burger, but the generously added a tip and processed $ 22 on my card.
After returning 3 times to get it corrected, it finally ended with the manager saying that there is nothing she can do and that I should file a fraud charge with my bank.
Way too much hassle for an overpriced, average burger and ZERO customer service. Not another dime of mine will fill their coffers.

We have been meaning to stop in here as we have driven past a few times… we are SO GLAD we did!
We were greeted at the front door by Jordan and the hostess… Jordan is an exceptional server and the best we have come across! Very attentive to our needs, knowledgeable of the menu and very welcoming!
The southwest rolls appetizer was great! Flatbread was delicious and enough for 2 to share! Hubby had fish tacos and said they were great. there are a lot of seafood dishes, which I don’t like fish, but I look forward to more Flatbread and would love to try a burger next time!
Great place! worth checking out! Hidden gem!

Review updated… food was much improved this go ’round. Tried the Grilled Octopus, Sausage Penne, and Chicken Rigatoni. Pastas were flawlessly executed, and the sauces (gravy, if you will) were delicious. Sausage was tender, and the creamy tomato sauce was a match made in heaven. My wife’s chicken pasta mirrored my entrée… near perfection. The grilled octopus was a tasty, healthy alternative, but why kid myself… fried is the way to go. Glad to see things have progressed, as their proximity to home makes them an immediate go-​to. Hospitable and prompt service, competitive prices, and fresh, quality ingredients is all one can ask for. Cheers Madison’s!

Great food !!! The owner tony is awesome and the day bartender Annamarie is amazing but the food is just 2 thumbs up

Great neighborhood place. Good service, cold drinks and wonderful food in generous portions. Brick oven pizza is awesome. My companion got a funky oyster and they took care of us with a free drink.

Been here several times for lunch. Very good. Very fresh and good service.

So, I will start by saying I ordered the wrong thing. I got the steak sandwich, and I did really enjoy it. I just enjoyed my parent’s cheese pizza better. It sounded much worse to me than it tasted. I don’t even like plain cheese pizza normally, and then they said it doesn’t have sauce and it really didn’t sound great. It was amazing, and I wish I’d ordered that. Please don’t think I’m saying don’t order the steak sandwich, it was really very good (and huge). I just LIKED the sandwich, I LOVED the pizza. Service was great as well, the waiter was extremely nice and funny. I am looking forward to coming back. The prices are reasonable for what you get as well.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, food was quite tasty. The things that prevent me from giving a 5 star rating:
* We visited over lunch, and the place was quite chilly. Maybe because they’d just opened at 11 and once the pizza oven’s been going a while it gets better.
* Only one beer on tap (Stella). I’m a bit surprised the beer selection doesn’t include more drafts. Their bottle selection is decent, however, so this mitigates that somewhat. But getting some more taps would be a big bonus.
Overall the experience was good and I’ll certainly be back.

I had dinner on Saturday night.
The food was very good. I had the BBQ Chicken flatbread (I can’t believe I ate the whole thing) and a cup of steak chili.
My waiter, Nick, was very attentive and provided excellent service.
FYI, I as there at 6pm and by myself, I felt welcomed and not rushed.

I’ve been here three times now, and have yet to be disappointed. All of the food has been of high quality and very tasty. The wait staff has been very friendly and attentive. The menu is simple, and not too large which means that everything on the menu is pretty much a specialty of the house and as a result very good. Of particular note is the french onion soup, the burgers, and the flatbreads, which are all spectacular. The steak chopped salad is also as good as it gets.
All in all, I very much like this restaurant, and the only reason for the one star reduction is for the ambience and décor which is non-​existent or mediocre at best. Not much to draw your eye except tables and chairs. Other than that, great place!

Buying a house in the burbs for a city person leads to tears… tears thinking that you’re sacrificing your awesome restaurants a stone’s throw away for Applebys and the like. So I was happy to find this place on Unilocal!having good reviews. I’ve been twice now and sat in the bar both times. Sam, who works some days behind the bar, is very pleasant to keep you company if you’re by yourself. The décor is a bit odd in the dining room but in the bar, it’s nice. They have a great wine list as well. Some of the things I’ve tried are their fries (very good), burger, which was decent, the crab cakes, which were above average and the steak bites, which I thought was very well done. The steak was tender and a perfect medium rare and it comes with some well seasoned mushrooms and peppers as well as a tangy sauce. I’m exited to try more from their menu!

We have visited a few times for lunch and dinner and the food is fantastic.
It is a little tucked away from the main streets but well worth it. Their pizzas are fantastic very fresh tasting and a great selection. The steaks are perfectly grilled, tender and high quality.
The atmosphere is very inviting don’t let the exterior or the location fool you. Can’t wait for football season to start and catch some games in their bar area. Great food, atmosphere and great micro beer selections.

This was our first visit & although it wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t that great either. There weren’t many patrons on a Saturday night, but I think the location is part of the reason.
We ordered the spinach artichoke dip, mushroom & truffle pizza, shrimp and spinach flat bread & the kale salad.
The spinach and artichoke dip was the highlight of the night. Creamy, flavorful & exactly what we hoped for. Really, it is a must try. The kale salad wasn’t bad I guess but it wasn’t a kale salad — it was a spring mix with pieces of kale throughout… not exactly what my co-​diner was looking for. That said, he said the salad was still good.
Now, I was really excited for the mushroom truffle pizza. That was not up to par either. The pizza was dry & there was not a bit of flavor on it. Seriously, when you say truffle, you expect that flavor & that was not accomplished here. The flat bread was eh as well, nothing to write home (or to Unilocal) about.
When we were leaving we ran into a group of people who had just left because they kitchen was closed. CLOSED. On a Saturday night at around 9:30? Who does that?! Hopefully, they were just getting their bearings due to them recently opening. We will give them one more shot & hope our experience is better.
