I saw a commercial for the steak and all-you-can-eat crab legs on Wednesday. My husband, being from Alabama, can eat a LOT of crab. We can never go to a seafood restaurant because the price is too high. When I told him about Madelines he was excited at the prospect. We were both a little weary. For $24.99 you get steak AND all-you-can-eat crab legs. We assumed it wouldn't be very good but it was worth a try. \r

From the moment we walked in, we were treated like the most valuable customers in the restaurant. EVERYONE from the hostess to the waiter to the owner, all were AMAZING! Unlike all other all-you-can-eat restaurants, they were bringing more crab legs out before we finished the last batch. We never had to wait for more food (which in itself was amazing)! I was SO impressed that the owner himself was cleaning the table next to us. Then stopped to talk to us and make sure everything was just perfect. He is so nice and humorous at the same time. \r

As mentioned, my husband is from Alabama, right on the gulf coast. He's very picky about his seafood. And his steak (no restaurant cooks it right for him). He was THRILLED with the food. He said his steak was amazing, as well as the crab. He did indicate that the crab had been frozen (because it was a little harder to get the crab out) but what do you expect living in Utah? Even frozen, he said it tasted awesome. I don't eat seafood. I had terriyaki chicken that was SO GOOD! They gave me TWO breasts, plus salad, veggies, and rice. I took a chicken breast and rice home with me (and I can eat a LOT of food). The kids loved their meals of mini corndogs and chicken tenders. I admit I ate my son's leftover chicken tenders the next day and they were so great! Spicy and delicious! \r

I told my family (parents and 7 sibblings, plus spouses) about Madelines. We are all going to Madelines tonight. I'm sure the family will be hooked like us! I have NEVER reviewed a restaurant, but I HAD to rate this one!
