Entrance
Richard F.

We were excited when we traveled home through Madison so we could stop at a favorite,The Red Pepper. We both decided to get soup and sandwich. I got the Sante Fe with Chicken Taco soup. My wife got the Turkey Mayo and the Chicken Taco Soup. Everything was absolutely delicious. You cannot go wrong ordering anything on the menu.

Tuna Melt
Gianna L.

Omg this is my favorite place in town so far! The tuna melt was delicious and the Greek salad was fully loaded with all the right stuff! So fresh . Service was friendly and fast

Fifa club grinder

So good!!! We weren't planning on coming here but saw it driving by and decided to stop. We ordered and got our food within 5 minutes. There was a $2 up charge for the broccoli salad, would not recommend. We went Friday at one o'clock and got the last table! Great place!

Turkey pesto panini and bow tie pasta
Shelby E.

Cute building and interior. Lots of different types of sandwiches such as hoagies, paninis and wraps. Salads/pastas salads are homemade and delicious. The bow tie pasta is definitely above average. The staff is always nice and service is quick. Nice stop on the way to Clifty Falls for a picnic or a great place to dine in.

The Spicy Wreck and Reuben
Katherine A.

Service was great; very friendly and prompt. The sandwich menu is extensive; there is something for everyone and many very interesting choices. All sandwiches come with chips, and you can get Ms. Vick's for 1$ more. My son got the artisan grilled cheese and loved it! I got the Reuben which was very tangy due to the addition of pickles to the sauerkraut. I liked it, but it was a lot of one flavor over the others. My boyfriend got the Spicy Wreck, which was spicy indeed...maybe too spicy! We didn't try any of the sides, and while we saw they had some beers and desserts we didn't try that either, but everything looked good Our bill was $21. Not bad at all!

The Red Pepper Deli is a unique cafe located in downtown Madison. The building itself is 150 years old! Thanks to Yelp reviews and a fellow travel blogger, we decided to grab lunch here after hiking through Clifty Falls park. My husband had the special of the day, I wish I remembered the name of it but it was really good (with lots of meats and chipotle sauce!) I had a roast beef panini. They offer a variety of cold and warm sandwiches, each is served with a bag of chips for around $7-8 a sandwich. You can grab a side dish from their small deli case if you prefer that over the chips, for an additional fee. They have unlimited Pepsi fountain drinks available (just under $2) and also a beverage cooler with some drinks as well (didn't catch what those were). Sandwiches were good, nothing that "wowed" me but they were good and hit the spot after a cold hike. All are made to order so you can customize your sandwich as you'd like. They also have fresh soups every day. And catering available. The cafe was very clean (in fact, the staff was cleaning up each table as people left while we were there).

The absolutely Best Deli place in Indiana. All their little town of madison inspired sandwiches are absolutely to die for. They are made fresh right in front of you and by far the best sandwiche you will eat. My last visit I had the chicken club and it melted in my mouth. The place is quaint and has a very relaxed and fun vibe inside! Definitely a must try if you have not and passing by, you will not regret it

Light and spacious
Brian M.

It's a local no brainer. I'm sure people try to find issues with this place because it's really cool to be critical especially when you're totally unaccomplished these days but this joint is no frills, kind, and accommodating. My panini was delicious and the price was just right. Lunch for $8 out the door. I split the panini with my friend. Only half is shown. I'm thrilled!!

Mediterranean wrap

Quick service - you order at the counter deli style and they deliver your lunch in minutes. Our food was freshly made and tasty. Servers reflect the welcoming friendliness that pervades throughout Madison.

Holy smokaly... Red on Main was an absolute party in your mouth and everyone in Madison was invited…read more(insert big-eyes emoji). RoM was simply outstanding... I stopped in for dinner with coworkers while in town, based on a recommendation from our hotel staff. Glad we listened, because this place was far and wide the best meal I've had in Madison. The restaurant is small and quaint, but has both a Midwest & Southern-touch feel to it; they serve American-French fusion cuisine with a hint of creole... Lots of choices from creole-inspired appetizers to salads, steaks, seafood, and pastas. I ordered the Caesar salad and seared halibut, which were both out of this world. For the quality of the food and the level of customer service (our server Samantha was excellent), RoM is very well priced... While it wasn't cheap, this fine meal was worth every penny ($60 w/ tip for dinner). I've been to many restaurants in Madison over the few years I've been coming down here for work, and RoM is unquestionably my favorite of them all... I will definitely be back and certainly recommend you stop in if you're look for a spectacular elevated dining experience when in Madison.

Sweet restaurant downtown Madison perfect for lunch! We arrived close to the end of their lunch…read morerush 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.
