    This was our first time at Madison’s. We read about this beautiful and recognized restaurant in Open Table. Since we had planned a trip to Franklin NC, we added Madison’s to our itinerary and we were not disappointed. In is a beautiful place on Main Street in Highlands, NC. The decor and atmosphere was elegant, and the food was fantastic. We highly recommend Madison’s if you are anywhere near Highlands.

    This place never disappoints. If you’re looking for southern comfort food done right this is the place. We visit every time we come to Greenville. The sassafras chicken is one of our favorites. Shrimp and grits, salmon, steaks are all very good. Side dish choices are perfect accompaniments. The service and hospitality are spot on. Great daily specials. Very welcoming place.
