Tried Chuckwagon the other night and walked away with mixed feelings. The brisket was decent--cooked well enough--but it lacked the seasoning and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Sides were fine, nothing to write home about. Dessert was a bit of a rollercoaster. The apple pie tasted slightly off--maybe the filling was not as fresh. But the peanut butter pie? That was the highlight of the meal. Creamy, rich, and easily the best part of the experience. The total for dinner for two with dessert came to $70, which felt a bit steep given the overall quality. It wasn't a bad night out, and I had a good time, but with so many other solid options in the city for less, I'm not sure I'd go back.
The food is amazing! Burnt ends are delicious! I got a beef rib yesterday (they do them on Fridays) best beef rib I have ever had. The topping for the BBQ is amazing. You have to try the sweet jalapeños! The service is nothing but amazing! Very friendly staff! The place is great to eat at. Well decorated. It's nots crazy loud and over all this place is the best in town!
As others have stated the food is a bit overpriced, but the meat is cooked to perfection and sauce hits the spot. Their sides are decent: the green beans have brisket in them, the Mac & cheese was good , and you get to choose between Texas toast or jalapeño cornbread. Don't skip dessert it's made on sight and the banana pudding is perfect. FYI: updating my review because they now give free cups for water (previously they just had bottled and that didn't sit right). They also didn't charge extra for the BBQ sauce. This is still accurate: What really got me was the owner's attitude . No matter what he just wants to argue. We came in to have a bite to eat and spent $40 on two people. We ate and wanted our food to settle but he just wanted his tables cleared and people to move on. He went on a huge tirade that he's a Trump supporter . Good for you but I came to eat , not discuss politics. We mentioned we like to support small business and tip well, because it's the right thing to do in these trying times. He was annoyed to hear that too, apparently prefers no tipping. He admitted that tip you leave at the register, goes to the owner not the employees . This guy was intent to vent and go off on a tangent . Not what you expect when you go to enjoy a meal and support local. Have more faith in your customers, we aren't all bad people, until you treat us like crap.
Service was great! I had the pork sandwich, and spicy bbq sauce. It was piled high with pork. As my side I had the potato salad; perfect, just like my grandmas. Service was mediocre, but it's more like a cafeteria style where you order and you take your tray to the register to pay. The decorations were nice, not overbearing. The staff were friendly.. I will definitely be back. Keep in mind their hours though, they close at 2. open back at 5Pm Tuesday-Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday.
This place is a quick stop for some pretty decent bbq. You can get in and get out fairly quickly. I went for the brisket and added the spicy sausage. I really appreciate the fact that they will chop your sausage link for you before serving it to your plate. If you ever had to wrestle a sausage casing with a plastic knife, you'd understand. They also serve the plates with a piece of corn bread and two sides. Over all this place is a great place to grab some quick and tasty bbq.
Decided to try ChuckWagon BBQ for the first time and our visit was just ok. Since we couldn't decide what we wanted, we ordered the Texas Sampler which came with pulled pork, chicken, brisket, sausage and 4 small sides. We ended up getting their Mac and Cheese, green beans, coleslaw, and baked beans. Our sampler also came with 2 pieces of cornbread. We also decided to order some burnt ends. We decided to eat at the restaurant and to our surprise, asked for water and we were given kiddie cups which we super small and had us going back quite frequently to the drink machine for more. After spending almost $70, not sure if the food was worth it. It seemed like for that much, we would've received more food. The meat was ok. Not "as seasoned" as we preferred and the chicken was somewhat on the dry side. The burnt ends were full of fat so by the time you cite that away, not enough meat was left. The sides were pretty decent... again the seasoning was just ok. And again for the price, 2 small scoops of sides just didn't seem reasonable for the amount.
The interior decor is really homey and country. The staff very pleasant and attentive. Restaurant very clean. I got the 2 meat combo - ribs and sausages with green beans, mac n' cheese with jalapeño cornbread. The ribs was a little dry but it fell off the bones (in a clump). The tendon part or soft bone ends of the ribs were tender, juicy and tasty. The rest of the rib was very dry, had a bitter taste and not a lot of flavor. It needed tons of bbq sauce to make it pleasant. The sausages were ok. The green beans was flavorful but the broth was very salty. Mac n' cheese was cheesy and creamy. The macaroni was just overcooked. Jalapeno cornbread - it was ok. It was on the dry side - not sure if it was supposed to be that way. The brisket - that was juicy, tender and delicious! No bbq sauce needed.
Chuck Wagon serves Texas BBQ, very good BBQ, not NC style for those with bad taste buds. I had ordered the smoked wings and spicy sausage and it was great. The wings had great flavor, not over cooked, wonderful caramelization and the spicy sausage was great. The staff was very kind and patient. The atmosphere was peaceful and reminiscent of TX BBQ joints. It's nice to see great tasting variety. I will be back!

Went to ChuckWagon for the first time today, did not disappoint! Very hard to find good brisket in Alabama after being transplanted from Texas. This place did not disappoint! We loved the Brisket and all the sides! Burnt Ends and chicken were good, but not as good as the brisket (in my opinion). Was going to give it 4 stars, but the hospitality from the owner and the team bumps this place up to a 5! Started as a small family business +20 years ago, passed down to the son and now he's running it just like dad did back in the day. The owner was super cool, gave us great recommendations and checked in on us after our meal. Cant wait to go back! read more
Although the quality of their meat is unsrpassed, they should revisit the sugar they add to basically everything. Sweetness was overly evident on their French fries, in their baked beans, and not as pronounced, but undesired and a negative flavor in both their brisket and their smoked turkey in terms ob my BBQ flavor likes and as a former KCB certified judge. Why do much sweetness to Savory dishes?!?! read more

UPDATE: 02/17/23 Today I ordered "The Burnt End" (Large) Sandwich with Potato Salad as a side! Burnt ends are not burnt, but are the crispy fatty ends on the ends of the Point of a Brisket. Slightly chopped and sauced with a hint of sweetness that adds to the smokiness and overall taste. Served on a large burger bun without any what we call fixings ie lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo or mustard. You won't need them. Grab a delicious side, ie coleslaw potato salad, my favorite, and baked beans. The potato salad version here is representative of the style found in most bbq places in Texas. I got the large sandwich which was almost too much because of the generous portion of meat you get. Definitely 5 stars. read more

Bland "Under-seasoned" BBQ is a first for me. Pros: Staff was really friendly. Brisket was the best item. A "7" on Brisket Seasoning. It was EXTREMELY TENDER! I would buy the brisket again. Mild Sausage was good enough. Cons: Ribs were tender, but way under seasoned. Sauce was not good. Beans looked good, but not tasty at all. Mac and Cheese looked good, but fair at best. Conclusion: Trust the reviews. If you want Brisket, this is a good option. Make your own sides. read more
I finally had a chance to try them out since they moved to their new location. I was glad to see all of the staff wearing masks and they were all very friendly. Unfortunately the food just wasn't as good as I remembered it. I got the three meat plate with a single rib, sausage and brisket with Mac and cheese on the side. My son got a pork sandwich and Mac and cheese. I went at just after 6pm so they had only been open an hour and a half but our meat was really dry. The Mac and cheese didn't seem freshly made either. Very pricey for what I got., see pictures. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good.There are several better, and cheaper bbq places in this area. I will probably try them one more time in hopes that maybe tonight was just an off night. read more

The Brisket was tasteless and my chicken was raw, it was overpriced for small portions. Lawlers or Dickeys is much better. I asked for a refund for just chicken and they said no. I wouldn't recommend read more

Hard pass on going here. When you go in, the employees aren't wearing masks as they handle, prepare, and serve food...even though it is against health code. If they are doing this in public, I wonder what other health violations are going on in that kitchen we can't see. When reaching out to the owner, someone got this NASTY response. I'll take my business to someone that's kind to patrons and responsible in a pandemic. read more

So happy that ChuckWagon BBQ is back in Madison! Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Must have the brisket! Try a two meat plate, you won't be disappointed. read more
Great as always, and I'm glad to have them on this side of town again. I have not eaten in yet, but the inside has lots of booths and seating. The brisket and sausage is my favorite (I recommend the Chuckwagon sandwich that has both brisket and sausage on it)!! I am also a fan of all the sides they have. The baked beans seamed a little runnier and tasted different than the other locations though. read more
