Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Madison

Great Food. Great Service. Great Atmosphere. Reminds me of NOLA restaurant. Desserts are superior. Steak is superior. Know the location and easy to park. Top 10 restaurant in Mississippi.

A Stellar Steakhouse Experience! Our visit to Char was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the warm, attentive staff set the tone for a truly memorable evening. We ordered the filet mignon and ribeye, and both were perfectly cooked to our specifications. The filet mignon was tender, buttery, and melted in the mouth, while the ribeye delivered that rich, robust flavor steak lovers dream of. Each bite was pure perfection, complemented by a thoughtful selection of sides that elevated the experience. What truly stood out was the service. Our server and restaurant manager went above and beyond to make our evening special. When we requested a spicy margarita, they didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile and track down fresh jalapeños just to make it happen. The result was a refreshing, flavorful cocktail with the perfect kick—exactly what we were hoping for! Char not only delivers outstanding food but also an unparalleled level of hospitality that makes you feel truly valued as a guest. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just craving a great steak, this place will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend!

Amazing as always. My wife and I’s favorite spot. The bar is exceptional, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the food is always superb. Hands down my favorite dinner spot in central Mississippi.

Took our family for birthday event. It was a good time.

Great food, easy parking. Felt safe - in Westin hotel.
