    Nachos and pickle chips
    Justin C.

    Had a great experience at Mad Paddle under their new ownership! My family has been coming to Madison for Thanksgiving for almost 15 years now and the former owner was less than family friendly but I'm so stoked to say that well behaved kids are welcome again and I'll gladly spend my money here. I've read others complain about the service but I had no issues. The appetizers we ordered were great and the self-serve beer wall is great. The prices are what they are and this isn't an Applebee's so keep that in mind. I'm thrilled to have a place to land when I visit Madison and so thankful that Mad Paddle opened back up.

    Enjoyed coming back to see how new ownership is running the place, and they're doing it well! We stopped in one afternoon after bowling down the street. We were greeted (lots of friendly servers around) and told to sit wherever we wished. We tried the beer wall which was so much fun! You get a card that you can tap to dispense whatever beverage you want - just turn it in and settle up on your debit/credit card before leaving. Beers are priced accordingly (e.g. domestic lagers are cheaper per ounce, imports/crafts are slightly more) and you're totally in control of your pours. It was a good way to sample a bunch of different things without annoying a server, and no waiting, either! They also had other beverages like wine and cider on the wall as well. As far as service goes, we moved upstairs for a little while to watch an NFL game on the big TV and had a few apps to share. We enjoyed the nachos and pickles which were a big enough portion for 4 to share. There were some bar games and board games, and kids are definitely welcome again (just not in certain areas, or too late in the night, I believe). There was even a very entertaining Smashgiving show (full combat armored fighting) going on which we enjoyed watching. Bathrooms were clean, as well. We used to stop in every time we're in town, so we'll definitely add this back to our Madison must-do list!

    This is a neat little place downtown, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Their beers are a little pricey but what can you expect from Indiana.

    Our waitress was Brittany with dark hair and she was excellent. Her smiles were so welcoming and she was so anxious to get the food and drink that we ordered to us in a very timely manner. Again asking if there was anything else that we needed. The food was excellent. Thank you Brittany.

    So happy to try some local beer while in Madison visiting friends. We loved being able to stop in and have some beer and delicious pizza together! They have some delicious blonde beers and some seasonal variations! I enjoyed a delicious flight, which was very affordable for the value I got! The Nashville hot honey pizza, the Mac and cheese pizza and the BBQ pizzas were wonderful! I plan to come again the next time I visit!

    My hubby and I drove to Madison Indiana for something to do on a Saturday. It's a cute town and we happened to come upon this brewery which shares a space with uncommon pizzas. What a great idea!! The brewery has wood barrel tables with games you can play like uno Jenga and more. I ordered the flight with a blood orange ipa blueberry blonde and great mimosa cider. All were fruity and delicious. We ordered pizza who doesn't love pizza with beer. I ordered a Thai chicken pizza with chicken Thai chili sauce sesame seeds. A burst of flavor in my mouth. Yummy. What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon

    My fiance and I can never say no to a brewery stop! We were hanging around Madison and had just finished up a hike at Clifty Falls, when we decided the best way to treat ourselves was with beer. This is a cute spot, really close to the water. They have a few places to site inside as well as outside. Although I do like breweries, I can be picky with the kind of beer I like. I pretty much just winged it while choosing the selections for my flight, and I loved all of them! The cider and sour were probably my favorite, and their blonde and blueberry ale were fantastic as well. The staff here were super friendly and this place made for a nice rest stop. You gotta check it out if you're in town!

    I don't like this beer; it's very skunky. I had a flight and I did not like any of it. People were nice. Good location and very clean.

    Why would you close at 6:30 during Regatta? Thanks for response. We noted Sunday hours at front door said 7pm so seemed you were closing early on busy Madison weekend?

    We were open extended hours during Regatta, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We are not sure what day you are referencing was 6:30? We do close at 6:30 on Sunday evenings.

    Not good.. Use to be awesome and has really went downhill…read more Waitress was good just seems dirty inside..maybe invest in a duster and vacuum.

    We completed our day at the Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art. Now we were hungry…read more I looked up in Yelp for local restaurants and Harry's Stone Grill came up. So drove around looking for a place when we did come upon Harry's. The parking lot was almost full. We entered and spoke to hostess and received a possible 45 minute wait; lobby was full; but we put our name down. Tired to see if sitting room in bar but packed. People seemed to be moving at steady pace. We were actually seated in about 25 minutes. Waitresses and waiters bustling about, our waitress was Alyssa and promptly attended us but said she was really busy but would get us started. Water; drink order placed. Took awhile for drinks since bar was full. She stopped by and asked if we wanted an appetizer or bread while waiting. We asked for bread and soon returned with nice pumpernickel loaf and butter. She came back and took food orders and drinks followed. It was a bit of a wait but this place was humming. Staff dashing left and right and at times close calls as they took care of patrons. Ordered prime rib special medium and rare. Salads came pretty quick and very tasty and looked fresh. Alyssa kept us informed all the way through our dining process. We were so pleased by her service. Hadn't had service like this in a long time- top notch. Our steaks arrived and were perfect! I highly recommend trying this place! Best steak place in probably 40 mile radius that's really a steak house!
