Ordered food and went to pick up and they are not at the address listed. They aren’t anywhere near there because I drove around broadway looking. I called and got no answer. So then I emailed asking for my money back. This was mid December. They never refunded me.

Might be the best brisket I've ever had. Smoky, tangy, sweet, and peppery.

I don’t know what kind of business this is every time I go over where they are located that white trailer truck is either gone or they are gone during their alleged hours of operation . I went one time they told me they were running behind came back three hours later when I was off from work truck gone. Do they leave once they sell out of food? Y’all should change the hours on google because you definitely don’t be open to 6 and wasn’t there today at 12 noon.

The rib tips have such a smoky flavor, so tender they fall off the bone!!

Best kept secret in Monona and surrounding areas! Papas BBQ is fire and without a doubt the BEST in this area! Better than even the 4.9 star bbq place in Sun Prairie! I had the brisket dinner and the meat was amazing. Perfect smokey taste with no lingering strange after taste. Brisket was buttery without being fatty or overly greasy. Meat portions are hearty but sides could be a little larger. His bbq sauce was tangy and juicy. Perfection!It doesn’t look like much from the street but please do your tastebuds a favor and just try him out!Kid-friendliness: Located inside a park. Would be perfect for a play date and lunch!Parking: Plenty of parking.

My partner and I moved to Madison from Sonoma County, CA where we definitely had been spoiled with good food. This BBQ was without a doubt the best, most flavorful food we’ve had since we moved here in August. We had the brisket and chopped pork sandwiches, great portions, perfect amount of sauce. Lovely family service. We’re already planning our next visit!

Excellent ribs done the way they *should* be done- worth going out of your way. Bring wet towelettes with you! You only get so much atmosphere at a food truck.

Have ate at every local BBQ establishment in the Madison area and this is absolutely the most authentic BBQ you can find. The beef brisket, tips, and ribs are smoky and extra juicy. You can order with no sauce or have Papa put it on the side, thats how well seasoned and cooked to perfection everything is. The fried chicken and fries taste like your average supermarket's frozen food aisle quality, so just order the BBQ and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food! I got the rib tips and chicken, they give you a more than generous portion for the price and the food was delicious. It smelled so good just pulling up into the lot. 10/10 will be returning

Best ribs I’ve had in Madison. Huge half slab. Beans and potato salad are both phenomenal.

Delicious. We got there about 4p on a Friday and they were limited on options. But, what they had was delicious. Brisket meal w/ potato salad, chicken wings and pulled pork sandwich with baked beans. All was very tasty.
