Review of Madison's

After reading through the reviews here I was hopeful it would be a great midway lunch point between Hilton Head and Charleston. Unfortunately, my family had a very disappointing experience.

When our server (new) was unsure about gluten free options we spoke to another employee. He didn’t identify himself as a manager, but seemed to be in a similar role. He told us everything except bread and pasta was GF. My children and I are of various sensitivities, and we asked them to use caution for us.

I had the crab/artichoke dip with chips and a wedge salad with fried oysters. The dip was delicious! The wedge salad was not an iceberg salad at all, but soft romaine. The oysters were underwhelming and poorly cooked/seasoned. I was sick soon after the meal concluded.

Both of my children had the chicken nuggets and fries. They did not like the chicken, as it was rubbery and poorly seasoned. The fries were fine, and neither child got sick.

Aside from our gluten issues, the bathrooms were filthy and stank of urine. There seemed to be a tension among the employees, and it appeared they were arguing among themselves throughout our visit. We will likely not return.
