Our daughter goes to school at FSU. She was getting married and we called about doing a reception party/gathering with her friends to celebrate. (This was after calling multiple places that didn't even call back) Spoke with Rachel right away. She was GREAT! So easy to work with and great communication. We decided to rent out the side room with an open balcony. The rental, food choices, and flexibility were great. We decided to do a sit-down dinner and then open for social events afterward. When we get there they even had menus with there names on them and everything set up ready to go. We had 2 servers who were also amazing and did a fantastic job. Once the social event started, workers were on it!. From set up, service, attention to detail, accommodations, breakdown, and everything in between, it was done with ease. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Our daughter had an amazing time, and I can't thank them enough. I would recommend them to anyone I could.

I recently visited Madison Social, and it was a fantastic experience! The chicken wings with sauce were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the cheese balls were crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside – absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was lively, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The only downside was that it could get a bit noisy during peak hours, which made it harder to have a quiet conversation, but the food definitely made up for it.

Only stopped in for a Happy Hour drink but the deals are outstanding! Prices are already reasonable but become unbeatable during this time. Staff is friendly and attentive. Lots of seating both indoor and outdoor, with a giant bar area. Clean establishment including the restroom. The food that I did see looked good.

Service was a bit hectic and scattered but they were incredibly busy. The food is delicious and casual. The atmosphere is creatively done and open air to a great extent. It is situated right in the middle of FSU campus scene.....very energetic and fun.

We usually go to this establishment all the time for the monthly challenges however this time the food that we received was either cold or not fully cooked.
The bartenders were locked in a riveting conversation regarding marvel rivals while people were actively trying to flag them down in order to close out. The bartenders refused to give drinks after one was finished without waiting a designated period or requiring to order food or water. This is usually a great establishment however it seems that it is definitely on it’s way downhill. The only upside was the female bartender that we had who was exceptional at her job as it seemed she was doing the job of her other bartender who was too busy discussing video games with the manager.

What a place to go after a game. Buzzing with life, generally intoxicated college students, but highly entertaining and great for people watching. Average price, decent food- service was a little sketchy but certainly not terrible. Nice place enjoyed it!

Me and my elderly mother came and visited the establishment. She has to use a walker and was able to navigate this restaurant with ease. Our server Mallory was very accommodating and treated my mother with respect. Me heart is so warm will be returning soon!

I went to College Town for the first time trying to explore the nightlife. I went to Madison Social as my second bar of the night after Township, this was around 10:30pm. I was told by the "security" that they believed my government ID to be fake, when I asked why they believed it as such, they had no response. I let them know it had the Real ID star on there as proof and I had a wristband from another club which should've proved the ID to be real. I kept asking why he would not believe it to be real, he then stated "the ID is old," this rubbed me the wrong way because it was replaced in January of 2024 and my friend, who was let in before me, had an older ID then mine. I then opted to leave the line as I did not want to go into this establishment anymore. I was told I was not allowed to leave the line until they "verified" it was a true ID. I told them this was illegal and they were not able to hold my ID for verification unless it was expired. They then began to threaten me with Battery once I asked for my ID back from their possession. One guard was holding onto my ID with an unnecessary grip, so I stated I would call the cops if they did not release my ID. I was told they could "verify" the ID with my Instagram or Snapchat. This again angered me as that is not a verification tactic for ID's. There was no marker or scanner used on my card to verify, instead they continued to ask for my social medias. I let them know I did not have either and they still refused to hand over my ID. My friend was also confused and vouching for me. After all of this, they handed over my ID and let me go after having my friend call my phone as "verification." This experience was humiliating and very unprofessional. I'm not sure who they hired as security, but they were rude and threatening for no reason. I was told this was a usual tactic they used to make sure those they do not want in the establishment, don't enter or come back. I am highly disgusted and disappointed.
