We had a really nice lunch at Madison's today. It's a lovely building, with an airy comfortable feel both inside and on the porch, where we were. There was no wait for a table when we arrived. Hannah was our server and was very attentive and helpful. The food was outstanding! Both of us had the cream of tomato sauce and loved it...unfortunately we ate it too fast to take a photo! I had the Seared Rare Tuna, and it was perfect. My friend had the Fried Green Tomatoes, which I tried and we both thought they were excellent. Very glad to have tried this restaurant, and highly recommend!
We stopped by for a light dinner. We didn't have reservations but got seated at the bar. Alex, our ace bartender, was fantastic. He made us feel welcome and mixed great martinis. She crab soup, stuffed mushrooms, and oysters were tasty. Looking forward to our next visit.
Cute old building with nice casual and cozy feeling inside. Staff were all incredibly friendly and helped suggest some of their favorites. The food I had was good, I had the basket with fried scallops and fish. The color of the batter was perfect golden (so, good on them for keeping clean fryers!) The food here was very close to five stars, I just wish the fish serving had been a little crisper (the batter was a little soggy in spots, but still edible). I think for the overall plate portion, the price was good...HUGE amount of fresh cut fries. Nice spot for lunch while in the beautiful little town of Port Royal.
Discovered this local find in Port Royal located on the edge of a residential neighborhood. Friendly staff, great food, and prompt service made for a great experience. Shrimp burger and smoky cheese grits were so flavorful. Highly recommend.
Great place! Food is good. The fries are fresh hand cut, but they are more crunchy style. Seafood entrees are amazing! Green tomatoes good, calamari good too. Friendly servers and hostess
I recently visited Madison's in Buford SC and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was very cool and laid-back, which made for a great hangout spot. Although the restaurant wasn't the fanciest, it definitely wasn't the cheapest either.
What really stood out to me was the food. I ordered the fresh catch red snapper with seafood grits that included scallops and shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection, and the grits were the perfect complement. Overall, I would highly recommend this dish to anyone who loves seafood.
If you're in Buford SC and looking for a great place to enjoy some tasty seafood, Madison's is definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, and the food is top-notch. I will definitely be coming back again soon!! Y’all rock!!!
Had the shrimp and grits. I haven't seen it done with sausage and mushroom before but the savory leaning worked very well. All the main ingredients shined though and worked together. The staff was kind and had that southern charm. The building was a bit hard to find and it's impossible to get those old floors looking clean. Kitchen noise carries well into the eating area which adds to the home atmosphere. I will certainly be back.
Absolutely outstanding!!! My friend was visiting and she had many dietary restrictions, including being gluten and dairy free. Madison’s has a delicious gluten free menu with many dairy free options. On top of the amazingly perfect food, the wait staff was incredibly understanding and kind. As a local, this has become my new favorite go to spot!!
I can't express the shear delight of our dinner at Madison's. From the second you enter the restaurant to the second you leave the staff makes you feel like family, truthfully we didn't want to leave because we were having such a good time with the staff and tge other guests around us.
The food is phenomenal! The hardest part about ordering is deciding what to get because everything sounds so good. The seafood is so fresh like it just came off of the boat. We shared our food because we wanted to try a little of everything. I loved the fried green tomatoes they were so light most places bury them in heavy breading. The seafood pasta was delicious. The crab stuffed mushrooms were cooked perfectly. The garden and grits was my favorite I absolutely love this dish!!
You definitely get your monies worth. If you leave hungry it is your own fault!!
Great setting. Service was slow… meals for the table came out at different times which kept us all waiting about ten minutes until everyone was served. Seemed like the kitchen was disorganized and/or understaffed. Food was good and well presented, but not great. But we had a fun and pleasant evening and service was friendly. We would go back.
Wow, my twin and I stopped in for a bite to eat and we were shocked at the amazing choices for dinner and at such a great price! The chefs special changes so its a new dish to enjoy even for a second venture to eat again! The service was friendly and so patient as we tried to discover what wed like to eat, my votes on the ribeye or the shrimp and grits! the portions are of a great size and the establishment is clean and very comfortable to enjoy. Madison's for the win, and i can't wait to try out their lunch menu! If your traveling, local or even just passing through Madison's is the place to go!

Love that they have vegetarian options!
The garden and grits were absolutely wonderful. Mother got the fried fish and sweet potato fries, which was a very large portion, so she was happy taking some home.
Madison's has some of the best food in Beaufort. The chefs really know what they're doing and consistency is on point. Specials are always worth a try. There is a tiny bar and outdoor covered porch area that you might get lucky to eat at if you aren't smart enough to make a reservation ahead of time. We love the calamari. We've enjoyed soft shell crab, mussels, ahi tuna... you just can't go wrong here. Bartender is really great, too! Get some reservations.
Seared rare tuna salad was a great starter, then came the triple seafood tower. Wow. Fried shrimps, fried oysters, fried calamari, shrimp scampi, shrimp salad, cocktail shrimps, garlic mussels, and various oysters on the half shells. Our waitress Rosy was super friendly & knowledgeable. Parking was limited, but public parking is nearby at the stop sign. Glad we stopped here for lunch. No, we did not finish the tower.
Oh my! What wonderful food! My daughter and I are gluten free and the options are many ! All the photos are food we could actually eat and... so delicious.
Margo was an excellent server and very knowledgeable about the menu.
This is a new favorite restaurant to travel to!
