Madden's Casual Gourmet

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 f

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.

Shout out to Madden's Casual Gourmet at Phillips Event Center at the city golf course on Briarcreat. John was our server and he was excellent. The food was SO good and even the patio looking out over the golf course was wonderful. Don’t miss out on this local gem that is finally 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

“Casual” and “Gourmet” say it all. And if you have been missing the unusual and unexpected since Mad Taco closed, you’ll be glad to know that Peter Madden has kept a number of taco specialties on this menu. I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend who has lived in college station for over 40 years. She knew the venue as the country club, and was eager to try out this new restaurant. That afternoon I had the salmon tostada. I liked it so much that I came back the next day for dinner with my husband. We shared the fried green tomato appetizer, then I had the southern fried chicken dinner and he had a Cobb Salad. All was tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed, the view of the golf course was soothing, and the staff were attentive. On top of that, the price was reasonable. I will definitely
