11 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Madison

“We are from out of town and were looking for dinner. I checked out the menu online and liked the choices I saw. We were unsure as we had our kids with us though. We decided to stop in and met with staff who told us that “well-behaved” children are welcomed which is definitely not our children. 😘 But we decided to risk it and the kids behaved and had a blast! This was partially due to a kid friendly menu (my youngest loved the cheezits) and the delicious assortment of cakes offered at dessert. The main reason they had a great time and were well-behaved is the server, Antonio. He was engaging, friendly and helpful. My husband loved the whiskey and bourbon choices (there are three pages of options on the menu)! The pork tacos were to die for and the cornbread is mouthwatering. The kids enjoyed the chocolate cake with cookie dough layers and my teenager and husband enjoyed the carrot cake. My youngest wants to give ten stars but Facebook won’t allow it. We wish we lived in the area so we can come back. When we go to Space Camp we’ll have to stop back.“

“I've been coming here from time to time for 16 years, and it's the same now as it was the first time: good barbecue, good prices, and there's not much else to say, except thank you to all the friendly staff that make this place one of the best.“

“Wonderful, friendly service and the best brisket I’ve ever had!“

“What about the one on Jeff Road ???“

“I honestly didn't know this place existed before yesterday. We love BBQ and try every place possible. I had the pulled pork, wife had the chicken. It was great! The sides are also good. It was so good that the meat doesn't even need sauce. It's a small place, very limited seating. Best to get it to go. They smoke everything around back. The price is comparable to other nearby BBQ places. We will be back!“

“After eating Long’s for lunch, we hired them to cater our daughters birthday party. We had brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, mac n’ cheese, street corn and a full container of two types of pickles. Also included was disposable (heavy duty) serving utensils, buns and BBQ sauce Every dish was amazing! Nice smokey flavors but not too much. The baked beans, which had thinly sliced ham covering the top, was out of this world. The street corn was a wonderful departure from the typical bbq sides you get elsewhere. Their prices are great. Delivery was on time and was brought into the venue all the way to its final serving spot. I highly recommend their food and catering. It has been a fantastic experience each time I’ve purchased from Long’s Craft Barbecue.“

“The food was excellent. My daughter and I are from a different state and we were staying at Best Western Plus Hotel and we saw Ted's Bar-B-Q on our way to the hotel. Since it was close to the area and we wanted bar-b-que, we decided to try this place out. The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the white bar-b-que sauce and it really set it off.“

“We had lunch at the new Hickory NC location! Service was great and food was pretty good! I got the smoked turkey sandwich and wings. Wings were a real disappointment though.... under cooked and definitely not smoked. I just took them home and popped them in the air-fryer. But all in all a 7 out of 10.....in my opinion.“

“Bbq pork was awesome. The only thing that brought me down to 4 stars was the mac and cheese. It tasted like it’s been sitting out for a few hours. Not a lot of cheese and different parts of the mac have a strange consistency. Other than that everything was great!

Parking: Street parking but it fills up fast“

“Dynamite! 😎 The food, dining room, and waitress was top notch.“
