Jimmy Madison's was one of our favorite meals while visiting Harrisonburg. The restaurant has a…read morewarm, cozy pub atmosphere with dark wood-paneled walls, a beautiful spiral staircase, two levels of seating, and even a rooftop area. We were seated in a comfortable booth on the second floor. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive from the moment we arrived. The menu has a nice variety of appetizers, entrées, and sides, making it difficult to decide because everything sounded so good. I ordered the pulled pork with mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts topped with bacon and candied pecans, and hush puppies. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous, I couldn't even finish my meal. The Brussels sprouts were especially outstanding. Jimmy Madison's is well worth a visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Harrisonburg.

Comes with coleslaw and we subbed a salad to replace French fries we didnt want.. I liked the coleslaw. Chicken was tender.

Food plated nicely, reasonable priced. Notewothy, 2 small restrooms were located outside around the building , some steps to go around building.

I'm beyond happy this was the place we chose because it was such a great experience! The staff treats you like family from the get-go. You have a wide menu to choose from and truly anything you order won't disappoint. From everything we ordered, their bbq sandwich was delicious! And save room for dessert! My biggest regret was not having a slice of one of their pies!

We don't live nearby or would stop by all the time. If you do, definitely check them out - lip smacking good!

I was with my friends and about 3-4 drinks deep the night I came in for food. It was packed, but…read moreservice remained courteous and efficient. I ordered the Texas Hen, a corndog, and some fries. The lack of quality was such that it halfway jarred me into sobriety. The Texas Hen is made with what felt like weird chicken meal, and for $8.99 is not a good value proposition (even with the chili). The fries I ended up with were incredibly sour, which is not a flavor I typically expect from potatoes. The corn dog was alright. I want to like this place for its convenience and speed, but the taste of those sour fries coming up every time I belched the remainder of the night is a memory that will haunt me. I will not be returning.

Don't come close to 8pm because they may close earlier.

There was a heater, so we figured we could stand it. The hostess rearranged the tables to seat us close to the heater, and left menus. Soon a waitress came with water and took drink orders. Not long after she returned to take our food orders. While we were waiting for the food, someone brought us some warm blankets. All through our meal people kept checking to see whether we needed anything. It was the best service I have seen in a long time, and I arrange a bi-monthly lunch outing for a club I belong to. The food was delicious. The salmon sandwich was incredible, the burrata appetizer was to die for, and I wish everyone had such good French fries. Everyone enjoyed their food and the warm welcome from the staff on a not very warm day.

The space is urban chic with a moderate sized dining room and small bar. I would describe the menu as "upscale comfort". Elevated pork chop, meatloaf, pasta for example. At our table we ordered the swordfish nightly special, the wild mushroom pasta, the pork chops, and the potato croquette appetizer. All were beautifully plated and delicious. We also had two exceptional glasses of Chardonnay, and some beautiful cocktails. We enjoyed our evening. This is a great place for a special night out without needing to be fancy or fussy.
