Madden's Casual Gourmet

Maddens is back. So good, limited dinner menu but definitely delicious. We had the tenderloin and friend green tomatoes as apps. Tomato soup, snapper and friend chicken as entres and all were outstanding.

I loved Madden’s when it was downtown and I was so excited to see it re-open at PEC! My absolute favorite dessert of all time is the blackberry bread pudding and Peter and his staff did not disappoint!

we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Madden's today. the service was good and the food was fantastic. we had the crab cakes and the grilled cheese with tomato bisque, and both were memorable for all the right reasons.

Since Maddens was in downtown Bryan we have the Maddens from appetizers to wonderful entrees…including Mad Taco. Peter and Tara have done a phenomenal job of creating and serving great foods and special times

This place is the best hidden gem in Bryan. The food is incredible! 3 entrees all excellent (fried chicken, green chili burger and the marinated chicken sandwich) and the desserts were fantastic (creme brulee and blackberry bread pudding). I will be bringing everyone I know here. The menu prices are a steal for the quality of food served. Lots of parking and good view of the golf course.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The vibe of the place was perfect and the food was incredible. Definitely a must try spot <3.

We visited for our first time and loved everything we ordered. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We can’t wait to come back!

Peter Madden has a new restaurant ! Madden’s Casual Gourmet at the Phillips Event Center We went tonight! Wow. Just wow. Drinks, GQ (remember MAD Taco fans?), I had the BLT, w pork belly and foccaccia. Crazy good. Alan had the fried chicken. Yes, we had the chocolate pecan pie w ice cream. Fantastic service and a visit from the Chef. We will be back! Next time, we go for the old faithful, MAD tacos!

The chef was on his way out ,we had the dining hours wrong. He saw us walking up with our 3 small kids and said no worries come on in. Best customer service I have ever experienced, not only him but his staff they treated us like we didn’t just walk in at close happy and accommodating to our children the FOOD is crazy good it’s the type of service you don’t find very often top notch thank you so much

There is a lot of confusion about the price range of the menu. The lunch menu is between $10 and $20 and the dinner menu is $30 - $50 per person. The entire menu changes between lunch and dinner not just the prices. Our dinner group all had the southern fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, and hot honey corn ($26 on menu) which is a fancier version of chicken fried chicken. I’ve attached a picture of the dinner menu. The food was five stars. The service was five stars. The atmosphere was five stars. The only thing I would change is serve iced filtrated water instead of cold tap water and offer Coke Zero not just Diet Coke.

So thankful Madden’s is back! Great prices and delicious food. Fried green tomatoes, poblano bisque, and crab cakes were excellent.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Perfect date night spot. The shishito peppers, steak frites, and cheesecake were especially delicious. Would highly recommend! We’ll definitely be coming back!

A nice reboot from Mr Madden. The fried green tomatoes w sauted lettuce was very nice. We enjoyed the tomato bisque, loved the crab cakes, and split the Jalapeño Chicken salad (very good but a bit salty) I had a 1554 on draft and a Hendrix Elixir (tasty and sweet). Desert was the Rasberry Truffle Tart and decaf (both were ok). We think they are off to a good start and will be back.

Used to eat at the downtown location of Madden's Casual Gourmet pretty regularly. I almost always ate the Cheese Sandwich with creamy basil soup. Back then, the plate was complimented with some fruit (a few white grapes & a few other berries). I ate that 90% of the time I chose to eat there, though there were other menu items I'd order, too. Today, I was expecting the same sandwich, same presentation, same soup, same fruit. Not so. Though the sandwich was crispy, which I like, it was also quite oily on the surfaces. The soup was okay, though darker than previously, perhaps less cream, but that was okay. On trips to Madden's in downtown Bryan, my sandwich never fell apart. The ingredients within the 2 slices of bread were secured to the inside, but today, bits of bacon were falling out left & right. There was a good crunch when biting into the sandwich sections, but I had to retrieve the bacon bits that fell out to enjoy them. I didn't think the Avocado was as good either. It was mushy, with dark spots in places. In the past, the avocado was applied smoothly as one would apply peanut butter to toast....where it doesn't fall off. I didn't want to give you a terrible rating, but somehow I was pretty certain whomever prepared my meal needs additional training to bring that sandwich up to the Madden sandwich I was used to. On a better note, my girlfriend loved her Madden's salad with the cooked pear segments & chicken. She thought it was excellent. Thanks.

I realize that it is a new place so this review is meant to help them improve. I have lived in Houston for 50 years and traveled the world and been to almost every continent. The food and service in houston is some of the best because of the number of restaurants per capita and the international clientele. The best comparison I can make for this place is McCormick and Schmick in houston and while this place has the atmosphere, it does not have the service. The food quality while good does not justify it's price. The crab cakes scampi was two appetizer size crab cakes with 5 shrimp. The crab cakes were really good but really small. Focus on the crab cakes and not the shrimp and massive amount of zucchini. The filet mignon was good. The fried chicken was good as well. Not enough flavor or salt. Served an old fashioned without a luxardo cherry. Made up for it when I went and asked for it.

The new menu is beyond our means. We loved the old menu which offered affordable choices. Portion sizes were small, quality was just so-so.

Had a great time except for Michelle. She was rude to staff and in my option lacked emotional awareness. My grandson who goes to a&m recommend but I will not be coming back anymore!
