Decent selection of sandwiches on tasty breads served with dill spears and bagged Lay's. I had the black bean sandwich with tons of veggies, others in our party enjoyed their choices as well. Wish that there was something a little bit more upscale about the lunch - homemade potato chips or kettle chips maybe? Happy people working here and, despite the worn atmosphere throughout, the restrooms were clean.
Review Source:While visiting Historic Madison downtown we decided to stop at The Downtowner for lunch having never been there.
Nice clean restaurant with friendly staff who had smiles on their faces and seemed happy to be there. Â BIG plus in our books. Â The waitress knew the whole menu and was patient and answered every question and gave her opinion of things based on what was asked of her.
Lots of different sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, and salads to choose from. Â I chose the super cheesy grilled cheese while my partner chose the three cheese ham grill with 2 bread sticks and a side salad. Â The breads sticks were so good we ordered another full order to split between us. Â We both agreed that the sandwiches were great, the portions nice sized for lunch time and the service was good.
Of special note are the giant cookies they sell. A nice select of flavors to match most tastes and we decided to get a couple for the road.
All total our bill was still just under $20. Â We considered that quite a bargain for the amount of food we received and will definitely go back when we are in the area again!
The Downtowner features a huge menu, loaded with sandwiches, including as many original sandwiches as traditional one. There are wraps and gourmet pizzas a well. Everything we had was very good, reasonably priced, and the service was fast, friendly and efficient.
I'd suggest to them to put a menu in the window, as there are a number of restaurants in the area, but looking at the lunch crowd on an average non-holiday Friday, I suppose they don't need to.
Went to Lunch with my mom and we decided to stop at The Downtowner in Madison. I hadn't been there in about three years, when my niece was a server there. The food was excellent. I had the spinach chicken wrap. It was more the size of a small burrito than a typical wrap. It was delicious. Mom went with the chicken salad and potato soup. There was too much chicken salad for one meal so she took the rest home. That's how a restaurant knows it's food is good. If you don't take the left overs home you're saying, 'just throw it out.' She really enjoyed the potato soup, a favorite of hers, sometimes my niece, when she finished her shift, would bring it home to her. We treated ourselves to two huge slices of chocolate cake. The Downtowner is in the center of Madison, IN, well within walking distance of all the stores on it's beautiful Main Street.
Review Source:Good food, nice atmosphere, something for everyone on the menu.
I had the sandwich (Reuben -- a little weird because they put tomato, lettuce & onion on it, but it was tastey), kids had pizza (pretty good, a little too much cheese, and the cheese was on top), and others in the group had soup & veggie pizzas.
Madison is a cute town -- you can feel the economic strain, but it's worth visiting the town and giving some well deserved business to restaurants like this and the other shop keepers!
Having business to take care of in Milton, my coworker and I crossed the bridge for an early lunch. Â On a recommendation from a local, we tried the Downtowner. Â Yum, very good sandwich/deli shop. Â It was early for lunch, about 11 am on a weekday, so service and food prep were very very quick. Â
My 7" chicken bacon ranch pizza was tasty and had good quality ingredients, like huge juicy pieces of chicken and crunchy bacon crumbles.  A crispy crust, not too much ranch and not too much cheese added up to a good deal for a lunch pizza.  My coworker's Reuben was  huge and stuffed with meat; not a completely traditional Reuben since it had lettuce and tomato and such on it, but definitely a filling sandwich.
Probably won't be back in Madison anytime soon, but will be sure to stop here again when I am in town. Â The rest of the menu looked to have some good options and a nice variety of sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas and pizza. Â Oh, and there were huge cookies at the counter.
So once I found this place in college, I always went back. Â It was good for a quick bite to eat and get away from gross, fatty campus food! Â The sandwiches were cheap and delish. Â I guess anything does compared to HC food but their sandwiches kept me coming back.
They have a good enough menu. Â It's better than just submitting to Subway for a sandwich. Â Their soups are good, too. Â Service wasn't always the fastest but it was still a good bite to eat.
