    Enjoyed everything from the food to the entertainment. Marty Brown was awesome. Table was ready when we got there. Our server was fantastic. Worth the 1 hour and 20 minute drive to get there. We will be back!

    Drove an hour to listen to Josh Robert's. He was awesome! Had dinner while we were there. It was delicious! Our server was great as well. It was a little cold in there for me, wish I had worn a jacket.

    Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Both my date and I enjoyed the appetizer sampler (fried pickles, mushrooms, and pimento cheese/kettle chips) but the fish wasn't anything to write home about. The beer was good and cold. The place was not busy, but we still stood for about 10 minutes before someone came back to get us at the door. Could have been better, but overall I'd say 7/10. Waitress was both humorous and charming, so that was a plus for us!

    First time to The Crowded House. Enjoyed the atmosphere and entertainment. Very pleased with the food although it did take quite some time for it to get to our table. Just thought that it was a long wait for burgers although they were very tasty. Overall enjoyed the evening and we plan to come back.

    We love the Crowded House and always count it as our go to for family celebrations. Great food, craft beer and exceptional service make it a standout not only for Madisonville, but for anywhere.

    I took my girlfriend to dinner here. We had to wait nearly 10 minutes on our sweet tea. I had to ask a different waiter for a refill as we had no idea where our waitress had gone. I ordered medium cooked ribeye which came out well done. I asked my waitress who said that is medium. She brought out mashed potatoes when I order fries. My girlfriends burger was suppose to be cooked medium and came out well done. She had fries that came out about 5 minutes after our meal did. We will not return for another experience at Crouded House!

    Excellent place for good food, nice ambiance and live music. Our server, Tisha was exceptional even though it was a busy! Very nice fish tacos were delicious with flour tortilla & corn together! I would recommend the Crowded House!

    This was our first visit to The Crowded House. The atmosphere was most appealing. Our waitress, Tamieka, was very helpful. The salmon was delicious. The guys ordered steaks, which were a little tough, but had great flavor. We had plans so we didn't get to stay for the live music. We plan to go back the next time we are in Madisonville.

    The food was really good, I was however disappointed with the quanity of food that we received based on what we had to pay for it. I bought one of the Cheeseburger meals and fries and I believe that is the least amount of fries that I have ever received with a meal anywhere, the fresh cut fries were good as well as the burger but portion size on fries was disappointing. My Wife ordered some kind of chicken Breast meal, it was topped with melted cheese. The portion size on the Chicken was pathetic, it definitely was not a breast, it was the size of chicken tender and the meal, the cost of her chicken meal was around 14.99. She gets that similar meal at other places and they charge about the same and the portion size is significantly larger.. The biggest gripe is this... If for some reason you have decided to serve smaller portions, for whatever reason, then that is ok, however; you should charge a similar price as your competitors who give a larger portion for the same price. The whole experience was disappointing and overshadowed by the high price for small portions. With all that being said the taste and quality of food was good, we just felt like we didn't get what we paid for. unless they change their price or portion size, we will not be back.

    We had a business dinner here. It was casual, but very nice. We all had the steak special that evening. Sides were great. The aged beef was awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    what an expensive disappointment! our server was Brooke..she was nice, the menu was limited, and very high priced. my friend got a $22 sirloin, 6 or 9 ounce, im not certain, but it was tiny, ordered med well with a wedge of iceberg lettuce and some "roasted" cherry tomatoes. I ordered the $12 bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. it was not especially busy, however it took 45 minutes to have our dinner served, by another server.... the sirloin was obviously very under cooked, as it was served sliced! if our waitress had brought the food she may have caught it... the sliced meat was retrieved for further cooking. i then flaked my burger open to find it actually sti;ll cold inside! only the outer 1/8 to 1/16th of the meat was cooked at all! (i do have pictures). Brooke came by and was stunned by the appearance of the meat... and immediately brought over the "cook" who had been spending most of the evening working on the bands' soundcheck rather than minding the kitchen. they brought back my friends' sirloin slices, further cooked but now dried out as the meat has been sliced. My meal came out about 10 minutes later, with no bacon... I was very displeased with the quality of the food and the fact that the "cook" was spending his time with the band. I expressed my displeasure to Brooke who said that he was actually the co-owner and that he would not discount the price of the meal. I told her my review would reflect as much and she sent him back over. He never said his name although now i know it is chris devoto. he said he had been in the restaurant industry 20 years and owned this facility for 6 months. The truth is, he is 34 years old, hardly a 20 year veteran of the industry. By far the rudest remark was that he would"lay awake at night worrying about reviews". He asked me what would make me happy and i said i expected 1/2 off the bill. he said he would do that, then Brooke brought the bill back with $6.50 taken off the tab. poor attitude!

    Was in town and wanted to try something different. Was not a bad experience but would not go back. Food was mediocre. Tables were a mix of square, round, high top, etc. looked unorganized. Staff was very friendly but waited 40 minutes to get food.

    Service was a little too attentive. This could have been because we were the only ones in the dining area at 5 PM. Our server was very nice but not familiar with the menu. My order did not come as described in menu. I would describe the menu as edgy. Great for those who like to try different things. Had a nice time overall but won't go back on our own. However, we would go if someone else asked us to go with them.

    Made a reservation through OpenTable and when we arrived, they didn't have our reservation (I think OT is new to them). They had to displace a couple sitting at a large booth (already eating) to accommodate our larger group (5). The hostess was entirely flustered. It took several minutes for us to be recognized by wait staff and several more minutes for our drinks to be served. The atmosphere is loud and some acoustic tiles would be a great addition. Food was average, but probably great by Madisonville standards. I had the Smokehouse burger and my wife ordered a "build your own" bison burger. Again, good but not great. The fries, hers sweet potato and mine regular, were a strange combination of over cooked, yet soggy. Maybe a change of the oil is in order. Overall, if you have to eat in Madisonville this is probably the place to go, but curb your expectations.
