    My family and I have been coming to Madison for years and every year we do take-out from the Yankee Smokehouse. This year we decided to dine in and change it up. This place is a smokehouse but also a pizzeria, so we have always called it Pizza Pig because of the dual cuisine There was a 20 minute wait when we arrived and we seated at right about the 20 minute mark. We sat in the back of the restaurant along the window. It was very loud in here as there is little sound absorption- so be prepared to speak loud. We also sat next to the service area, which didn't bother us at all, but something to be aware of. The back room requires two steps down, and there is no wheelchair access to this area - but the rest of the restaurant appears to be wheelchair accessible. Our waitress was pleasant and very busy! She was handling multiple tables efficiently. I came with my whole family and the great thing about this place is that there is a little bit for everyone. Don't like BBQ? No problem - they have pizza or sandwiches , even salads. You can even get a burger. I ordered the Reuben, my kids got a pizza and my husband got the brisket and pulled pork combo. Food came out hot. Kids loved the pizza. Brisket was a bit fatty and pulled pork was dry. My Reuben was delicious. Onions rings and fries were nice and crisp and huge! Overall, nice local option for smoked food or pizza! Not sure we would get the smoked meats - maybe not our thing. But would definitely come back for the Reuben, onion rings and pizza.

    Best north country BBQ around! Comfortable atmosphere, good service & affordable. You can also build your own pizza with the typical toppings or get several different kinds of Smokehouse BBQ pizzas. Solid 4 stars....,so check them out & Enjoy.

    Decided to head in Friday 9/29/2023, kind of cold and rainy day. Quickly greeted by a waitress and we were allowed to pick out seats (opted for the high top table in the bar area). Wife ordered the BBQ Sampler for 1 (see picture), she liked it enough, very basic, cooked properly but very little flavor, needed to use their bbq sauce (which was solid). I opted for one of the BBQ themed pizzas HOG TROUGH (see picture). The meats on it were ok, the veggies under cooked. The red sauce had no flavor add the dough was undercooked. It certainly wasn't horrible but very marginal at best. Hopefully this was just an off day in the kitchen. I live in the area, so I'll give one more try. When I do I'll update the review.

    So I was with some a group of my friends. Food had no seasoning and taste to it very bland. The service was awkward as I truly was the only person of color. The order was wrong and the waitress basically said we made the wrong order. However it was 13 in the our party and guest at our table even realize they are not taking our orders correctly. Sadly due to the bad experience and my treatment I'm not ever returning.

    Hugh portions, brisket was very tender BBQ, potato skins were a bit of a disappointment a bit blacken from the frying. Very happy attentive staff, willing to explain the menu details. Quite, music at a reasonable level, not blaring like at most places

    Ribs & brisket meal

    What an interesting combo BBQ, pizza and other stuff like prime rib, Reubens, seafood dishes, so much to choose from. I had to try the burnt ends, so I got that with a garden salad. The full salad was huge. The burnt ends were good, not overly hard and sticky like some I've had. Three others got ribs and brisket. One of them said they found it a bit dry, but the others just handed her the sauce bottle. Someone mentioned that they liked that the ribs were not very fatty. The beans were really good, the coleslaw also good. The Texas toast good. There were no highlights that really stand out, but everything was good, including desserts - apple crisp and strawberry shortcake. The service was attentive and everything came out correctly. The beer selection was really limited, more local craft beer would be nice. But we definitely plan to come back and try other things.

    Smoked ribs. Look at that Pink!

    We stopped in here for lunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and were in good company. There was…read morea 30 minute wait for a table but were called in 15 minutes which was great. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. We started with the nachos which hit the spot. Cold Coors Light bottle for my hubby and I had a Raspberry Marguerita which was excellent. I tried the burnt ends platter which was delicious with French fries that were covered in cheese and bacon with a side Of sour cream. Yum! He ordered a large plate of full belly clams and enjoyed them very much. Place was really busy but very well run. Servers were very good and the service is great. Plenty of memorabilia to look at on the walls while we waited. You can sign a dollar bill and add it to the ceiling (or walls now) which was fun idea. You can see they have had quite a many visitors do that. We loved the vibe of this place and look forward to visiting again soon. We didn't order desserts because we were full but if you check out the dessert case on your way in or out, they look so delectable. I'll save room next time for dessert for sure. Thanks for a great spot!

    First off, this is probably the cutest restaurant I have ever been in! They have a main area that…read moreyou walk into, an outdoor seating area for while you wait, and then a secret area that looks just like a house! We were told it'd be about an hour wait, so we waited on the outdoor patio with beautiful views. You can also get a drink while you wait which is nice. The wait ended up being way shorter though, and we got seated in the "house" area. It was so adorable, and all of the hostesses & waitresses were so sweet and friendly! I ordered the lobster mac & cheese (because when in Maine!) and it was so decadent and loaded with that Maine lobster. The garlic bread on the side was amazing as well. It was a little pricey but again, the amount of lobster really reflected the price. Overall a cute and tasty restaurant with lots of fun options!
