    Brisket - microwaved or boiled?
    Craig B.

    See that bark on the brisket in the pictures on their webpage? Yeah I did too so I tried this place out. What I got in reality was a microwaved (or maybe boiled?) pound of brisket instead. Tasted terrible - wish I would have just lit my $90 on fire so I'd at least get 15 seconds of enjoyment from it. Judge for yourself from the picture below. Pretty obvious this piece of brisket never came within a mile of a smoker or pitmaster. Run!

    Collard greens

    Solid BBQ resturaunt and they also sell frozen cuts of meat. Got beef brisket, collards, mac and cheese and sweet corn bread. You can tell how good a place is by their collard greens and theirs can hold their own. Big chunks of pork and the right amount of heat. They were a little more sweeter then I like, but that's more to my personal taste. Sweet ice tea was on point. Cornbread tasted homemade and brisket was tender, flavorful and had the pink smoke ring. The BBQ is sweet and spicy ( not to my taste, but if you like a kick- you will enjoy it.) The only negative and thus 4 stars was the mac and cheese, it just had a weird aftertaste like a cheese sauce from a can. Service was quick and waitstaff were super nice. Prices were extremely reasonable.

    I came here working in the area for catastrophic claims and stopped in as I was smelling the barbecue while getting gas next door. It's worth the stop for the barbecue, the cornbread, the potato salad and the sausage are superb.

    Ordered for take out we got brisket and a 3 meat plate. We had the pork cheddar jalapeño sausage. Side we got were beans corn bread chili mac n cheese. So I have to say the meats were delicious moist and not dry. Good smoke but not over bearing. The beans really like them plan to adapt my recipe a lil as I really liked the apple in them. I'm did not like all the spices though. The chili was yummy And with the brisket in it just made it pop. Staff was nice on the phone and same when we got to the store. There is a fine in area we did not go check it out. But easy to get food and eat in.

    Owner was very nice guy, food was delicious and the meat fell apart with little to no force. Sauce is great and the owner recommends traditional hot mix that was great. very convenient having sauces readily available. will be going back again to try the pulled pork!

    Stop by after getting in from the Airport, it was close by and was craving bbq. Now I don't expect Texas bbq or anything fancy but it was a bit of a let down. I got the brisket and ribs combo. The brisket was ok had good flavor and not dry but the ribs probably the worst I ever had it was so dry I couldn't eat it, even after dipping it in their sweet bbq sauce (which was good). The mac n cheese and apple pie beans were good though. The service was very friendly and fast. Not sure I come back due to the ribs, maybe take it off menu or do weekends only to sustain quality. I like supporting local businesses so hopefully they improve.

    Key lime pie
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a Saturday for a late lunch. The place was kind of empty at that time. Key lime pie was my favorite item here. It was a slice of keylime pie in a stick like popsicle, and dipped in chocolate. I also had a 2 meat platter. Beef brisket and chicken were good, but not Texas good. Baked beans was my favorite side. White cheddar mac and cheese was good as well.

    LOVE Beef butter BBQ! Not only is the meat amazing, but their sides are my favorite. Especially the Mac and cheese and APPLE PIE BAKED BEANS. Good BBQ is almost as much about the sides as the main. We usually stop in for lunch, but they can run out after lunch rush. I think it is pricy, but worth it for good BBQ Patrick is awesome and so kind everytime my partner or I stop in :)

    Just about the only good thing we ate was the coleslaw and cornbread. Cold ribs. Greasy rib tips.

    Decent food and portion sizes. You order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. Would eat there again when in the area.

    First I should say I judge a barbecue joint by its ribs. That's it. I have had barbecue all over…read morethe country and smoke a mean rib myself. These ribs were as good as any I've had around the country, and better than most. Some places brag about "fall of the bone tender." To me that is overcooked. Ribs should be "fairly easily coaxed off the bone tender. The need a little bit of chew to them or the are too dry. Smokey Jon's ribs were just right. Now the rest. The barbecue beans were very good. I put a little brisket burnt ends in when I make them. That would have improved these to top notch. I usually shy away from barbecue joint mac and cheese but I ordered it here. Hey, I'm in Wisconsin. It's got to be at least ok. It was better than just ok. It had a generous amount of cheese and the symtickiness that good Mac and cheese must have. For my taste, it had too much garlic. I'm a big garlic fan. When I see a recipe that says "one clove of garlic," I figure it's a misprint and they meant "one head of garlic." Here, they used powdered garlic, and I feel like the amount they used covered up the natural sweetness of the cheese. The ambiance of the place was spot on. I am visiting Madison, from Oregon (Go Ducks!) Driving by the place it looks like they've got to have at least passible 'cue. Inside it was classic back woods barbecue chic. "Log cabin" looking interior walls, red and white checkered plastic table cloths, and great old school blues on the sound system. Is this place perfect? No, won't get that until you pass through the Pearly Gates. But it's about as good as your going to get anywhere else, unless you come over to my back yard on 4th of July.

Unfortunately, Smokey Joe's doesn't have collard greens, but their mac and cheese is one of the best I have ever eaten. The consistency is perfect- creamy but not soupy. They use real cheese and it has perfect seasoning . The sugar biscuits were amazing as well. I got the burnt end plate and it was the perfect amount of meat and fat ratio. The meat should be tasty without BBQ sauce and Smoky Jon didn't dissapoint- the BBQ sauce was tangy with just the right amount of spice. Yet, the meat was absolutely delicious without it- the BBQ sauce complimented the meat. Also super nice people. I would definitely come here again. This is in the top 5 of my favorite BBQ resturaunts and judging by all the awards and trophys on the wall, I'm not alone in that opinion.

But in our viewing, we noticed the great happy hour and decided Liberty Station would be out early evening cocktail and appetizer spot...it was the right move! The space is good sized with several areas for seating from the bar to dining room to the patio. It is industrial smokehouse for sure, which is exactly what you want from a bbq joint. We bellied up to the bar, where the bartender was prompt, friendly and helpful. Being our first time, we asked for recommendations and without missing a beat, the brisket loaded fries with a round of old fashioned's...so that is what we went with! The drinks are well, or rail as commonly referred to around this area, and only ran us $5 - $6. They were tasty, but we could definitely tell it was a happy hour special cocktail. The fries were plentiful, definitely enough to share between us two. The brisket was tasty and the fries were crisp. And combined, the old fashioned and brisket fries was a solid duo! Overall, Liberty Station was a solid spot for some tasty food and decent drinks!

I think my pulled pork sandwich, two sides (cole slaw and fries) and a drink pushed $17. That's more than I prefer to spend on lunch, but I was going out with some work friends and felt like treating myself. And it was, indeed, a treat! The pulled pork was very good - not overly fatty or anything. Good flavor. I tried the "original" and "sweet city" sauces - both were very good and not overpowering. The fries were good - a little greasy (but "good greasy" if there is such a thing). The creamy cole slaw confused me. It was a bit dry. I know, right? How is creamy cole slaw dry? I'm not sure if it's always like this, or maybe it was off the top of the batch and the "creamy" and dripped to lower parts. Don't get me wrong - it tasted good. We'll see how it is next time I'm there! Overall, a good BBQ stop. The pulled pork sandwich will be a standard order there, but I'm sure I'll venture out to some other dishes to see what they have to offer!

We ordered the city sampler along with a half slab of ribs, since their ribs are $1.99 on Tuesdays. The two sides that I chose were the cornbread and potato salad. As for the quality of the bbq, the brisket was not as tender as I would have expected it to be. The ribs could have also been more tender, but the flavor was good! I have only tried bbq one other time, which was in Houston, TX, so I think I had some high expectations. Everything else was pretty good though, with the pulled pork being my favorite meat. I enjoyed the potato salad as well. The staff was also friendly and helpful. They have various bbq sauces, plates, utensils, and other condiments available on the side, which is nice. For a bbq spot in Madison, it's decent. The price is also pretty affordable, which was a huge plus! I would come back if I'm ever craving bbq again.
