Ye Old Colonial Cafeteria

108 East Washington St., Madison, GA - (707) 342-2211
There is not a big choice when you move through the short cafeteria line at Ye Old Colonial Restaurant. At lunch or supper, entrées will be limited to a short list of fried chicken, barbecued pork, bone-in ham steak, and country-fried steak. It’s a simple menu, and a reassuring one that is about as close to home cooking.

We liked the crispy skinned fried chicken just fine, but both the black-eyed peas and sweet potato casserole were outstanding!

We would never order cabbage as a side dish up north, but the highly seasoned version they serve in the South is often a meal highlight.

In the South, macaroni and cheese is considered a vegetable!

We liked the soft, sweet breading, but thought the peach cobbler was a little too liquidy.

This is the shortest cafeteria line we have seen. But you judge a cafeteria by quality, not quantity!

In the dining room that used to be a bank, the floor is still a beautiful tiny-tile design.

The main dining room has a high ceiling and plenty of room between tables.

At night, the window looking in on Ye Old Colonial shows you the beginning of the cafeteria line.

Madison is a charming town of antiques stores and several restaurants that respect culinary tradition, this humble cafeteria among them.
