Madden's Casual Gourmet – Gourmet Southern Dining with a View in Bryan, TX

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 had a great time at the new 1929 restaurant. The food was delicious, the drinks were wonderful, and the service outstanding! We ordered a Mac and cheese and chilli, a burger, a pizza, and a steak and frites. Our Neighbor’s ordered a green chilli soup and another delightful dish I cannot recall and all the drinks from the bar were delightful. Valeria provided excellent service. We will be coming back again.

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.

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.

“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 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.

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.
