Food is good a bit overpriced for the portion size. I hate the hours they are closed often so make sure you check to be sure they are open. Has the potential to be a five star place but management..... read more

The food was extremely delicious. I went here because I kept reading the brisket was excellent... and it was. Also got a sausage with Mac n cheese and potato salad and it was all so good! Honestly even if the food wasn't as good as it is I would still return because the staff was so extremely friendly. They were just calm and kind. Top notch establishment. Fully satisfied and will be coming back. read more

My mom was working up a big sweat working out at the Planet Smoothie, so I decided to pop on over to get some brisket. The employees were nice even though I could see their faces. My, how times have changed. This was NOT satisfactory. I purchased my BBQ elsewhere, though health concerns mounted when I was rushed to the hospital for what was my 4th heart attack. I suppose 5 stars is warranted since BBQ isn't healthy eating and I have nobody to blame but myself. Oh, and Obama. Regards huffbuffer read more

Recently moved to Madison from Texas so was looking for good brisket. This place did not disappoint! They know how to smoke the brisket. I had it on a bun with sausage (ok but not great) and a dollop of Mac-n-cheese (nice touch). Waffle fries were just ok. But since it was the brisket I was after, I'll definitely return. read more

Ate there recently and the food for two people was $37. The portions are small and the meat is "weighed" in front of you, I guess so they can ensure you don't get more than they want you to have. Glad I was able to finally try it after all these years but sadly will not be going back. There are too many other barbecue places in town like Full Moon or Smokey's that will give you nice portions, great tasting food, and not so expensive. read more

ChuckWagon BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Wow the owner could care less about the peace and safety of the local consumer! Not to mention they are not abiding by the laws that have been put in place for restaurants to adhere to. Not a safe place to dine or order take out! read more

Excellent BBQ. Place is nice. Loved the baked beans and potato salad. Pulled pork was excellent along with spicy corn bread.

I was a huge fan of this place when it was in the old location, but was extremely disappointed when I came to the new one. The meat was good but they really skimp on the side portions. The server scooped it out then knocks off about half of what he scooped back into the bucket and gives you a minuscule portion. Also, as everyone else has said the management is so rude they really don't care about if you're happy with you're experience or not. The man in charge basically acts like he's doing you a favor by letting you come in and pay for his food. read more

This place is outrageous. The older gentleman ignored me while I stood in front of him. Turned around while I was talking to him then said I don't understand what you're asking. Well obviously he didn't hear me since he turned to the back table while I'm talking. I asked for pulled chicken and he threw the pulled pork down irritated. Fine give me the pork.. glad we got it but wow. He almost seemed irritated he had to come back and serve instead of chat at the table with people. The woman at the checkout was so soft spoken I couldn't hear her and had to ask multiple times and they only sell bottled water, this was already $16 for the little food we received. The portion size was tiny for $16. Great meat and mild bbq! The vinegar slaw is very bland and disappointing. The twice baked potato was the same and not with the extra $. Haven't had much bbq since we moved here, but while the meat was excellent, the portions and service will push me to go try something else. read more

Had their brisket and it was dry. I was surprised because I was a big fan of the old location and even put up with the rude owner. Beans were blah. Overall mediocre food at high prices. Service was beyond awful. I thought the owner was rude and angry. I asked a question about a menu item and I thought he was going to throw the plate at me and kick me out. I don't understand. He's been in business because customers buy his food. Why does he have to be so incredibly rude and nasty? Overall disappointed with the food. It used to be much better for sure. read more

ChuckWagon was great before the "remodel" of the kitchen. It seems the emphasis is now on cutting costs as opposed to good value. I empathize, because food is expensive. But I don't understand, for instance, why the sandwich buns are pre-toasted and cold. Or why the meat on a "large" sandwich that costs $11.50 doesn't cover the bun. I would estimate the cooked brisket cost to the customer would be $25-30 per pound, so theoretically there should be about 1/3 pound of meat on that sandwich for the price. It seemed like a lot less, and certainly a lot less than what the restaurant founder used to pile on. It's still good food, just more expensive and less of it. read more

Mike and his team are doing a super job, his half chicken is very tasty and the spicy sausage is the best in Madison county. So happy ChuckWagon is back on thos side of town. Thank You Mike read more

I'm so glad Chuck Wagon BBQ is back in Madison! Same great flavor. Same choices of meats. Yum! Get a meal or a sandwich or just meats (like I did). What's better than brisket and ribs? Don't forget the sides. And check out the desserts, too. For those wondering about safety precautions: Staff are all wearing masks. Plastic sheeting separates food side of counter from customers. Limited seating, appropriately spaced. Or you can always get it to go. read more

Best BBQ around the Huntsville area. I mean real BBQ! I'm not talking about that vinegar sauce soaked stuff most places serve around here. If you are looking for good seasoned texas style BBQ then you should definitely try this place. Get the brisket!!! I promise you will not be dissapointed!! read more

Service : Their price is ridiculous!! ‍ I made 200 dollar worth to-go order but then they didnt include any utensils and condiments, had to pay extra $40 for the following : - forks and knives - condiments - bread SEPARATELY!!!!! For all to-go orders read more

Very good Texas barbecue and great family who owns it. The brisket sandwich is very good and I appreciate the local family who owns it. A little too expensive would be my only critique. read more

Pretty good BBQ. Ribs were really good but didn't care for the chicken. The brisket was above average as well. Great staff and very clean and welcoming environment. read more

The food was very good, however there was a gentleman behind the counter, who I assume to be the owner, not wearing a mask and hovering over employees, who were all masked. By his mannerisms and how the employees reacted it seemed as though he was chastening them. His unmasked, micromanagement mannerisms made for an uncomfortable dining experience. read more

Brisket is delicious, very generous portions and friendly staff. I miss the charm of the old place, but the food is still excellent.

Best barbecue in town! That is all that I can say. That's how good it is! I know that people love the brisket too. I'm more of a barbecue guy. read more

Welp, kinda expensive for what you got and no better than some of the other local competitors.

I've been to this place four times now. My first visit was an interesting one. Just the owners were operating the business. The man, serving the food, wasn't very personable, but the food was delicious. I had the smoked wings and a pork sandwich. There no skimping on the sandwich, and the wings with the honey chipotle Is amazing! The Mac and cheese, baked beans, and cornbread was great. My next two visits were even better. The owner wasn't there, but his partner (wife?) was still working the register. The food service was friendly and the food still amazingly good. My most recent visit was troubling. The owner was roaming the restaurant and the kitchen without a mask. He constantly micro managed the food servers, literally looking over their shoulders and seemingly fussing over all they were doing. With Covid still rampant, I found this disturbing. I also don't know how the employees could function with such hovering. I can definitely vouch for the great food, but I'm not so sure the ownership behavior won't ruin a good thing. read more

When it comes to Texas brisket and sausage there's nothing better within 100 miles. Its not overdone til it breaks apart and never under. Spicy sausage is great but not that spicy. Beans are always good with meat trimmings in them. Never been impressed with the other sides but the cornbread is good. read more

Great meal again. Love their brisket. I get the brisket sandwich and wife gets Chuckwagon sandwich which is brisket and sausage. Their brisket is authentic Texas style. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
