    Everyone talks of the Madonna Inn so stopped on our road trip for lunch. The food was not good. French fries ice cold. Sandwich meat fatty and bread stale. Service was just ok. It was expensive- $50 before tip for 2 sandwiches and two sodas. Come see the quirkiness of the lobby but I would stay for the food.

    We didn’t feel like the service was stellar and the food mediocre at best. But I know the restaurant is cool and fun to look at. The cake obviously is the best.

    Great ambience, great service our waitress was adorable. Food was good, had the southwestern chick salad and ribeye steak sandwich. The steak sandwich was outstanding. Very crowded it was New Year’s Eve…

    I come for the PINK CHAMPAGNE cake!! My favorite. Vibe is quirky like me so I love it. My server was great. He was very attentive and made great recommendations. Front greeters did not acknowledge me. A couple workers did not acknowledge that I was waiting to be seated.(I did have a reservation) Overall def would come back for the desserts.

    Disappointed that we had to wait in a long line to see hostess although we had reservations and all others in line did not. They should separate the line and have two areas. Needless to say we were seated 20 minutes after our on time arrival. Was my dads 83rd bday and I put comments on reservation. Unfortunately, they sat us next to the kitchen door although they were seating non reservation people after us along the windows. Was so dark in this area. Server never asked if we were celebrating an occasion. Not a special experience although we hoped it would of been.

    Biscuits are amazing. Jams too. Waiter was good, he was very busy but moving fast. Noteworthy- The broccoli turkey frittata included broccoli stems only and no leaves- very tough to chew and not tasty. Bacon cold. French toast and pancakes great. Coffee kept flowing. Avoid the wait, Make a rez!

    Patty melt was great, the French Dip was loaded with meat but a bit on the tough side.
