What Sandy Johnson likes about Smoky Jon's:
We did a drive and dine with a couple of corvette friends, we all loved the place and the food. The awards line the walls with great blues music playing while you eat. We will be back. View all feedback. What Bab owpbowp (Babowpbowp) doesn't like about Smoky Jon's:
First time visit based on web reviews. Ordered brisket and pulled pork takeout for family Christmas gathering. Pulled pork was fine, shredded brisket was terrible, very dry. Everyone agreed after the dinner. Smothering it with the tasty barbecue sauce couldn’t make up for it dry leather. Very disappointing. Person taking the carry out orders was a jerk, acted like we were bothering him by placing a $60 order. View all feedback.

read moreSmoky Jon's in Madison, WI, has stirred up mixed feelings among customers regarding their BBQ offerings. While some swear by the fall-off-the-bone ribs and delectable sauces that are considered by some as "candy," others find the prices high and the meat not as juicy as expected. The menu reviews from one group ranked the items from best to worst, with chicken and pulled pork being favored over ribs and brisket. Most of the dishes were found to be bland, smothered in sauce that overshadowed other flavors. Unfavorable experiences with service were also reported, including orders being canceled by staff and money not refunded. However, the standout reviews praised Smoky Jon's as having the best BBQ in Madison, with a variety of succulent dishes that would satisfy any BBQ lover. Despite some criticisms about the sauce content and lack of true competition style BBQ, many visitors seem eager to return to this BBQ joint for mouth-watering ribs, brisket, and sausage, along with delicious sides and efficient takeout service. Overall, while some may have had disappointing experiences at Smoky Jon's, the majority of customers seem to agree that the BBQ offerings are worth a visit.
