The food was delivered 21 minutes away, arriving exactly at the promised time, 100% complete, with some trays still too hot to touch. I included bread & supplies with the order, and the delivery included plenty of serving spoons & tongs, utensils, plates, & napkins. Brisket and sauce were fantastic. The chicken needs work--dry and low flavor. The hamburger buns were very bready and big, too big for many. The sides were fun and interesting new flavors. The slaw was tasty-tangy but very white--challenging those who like their vegetables green. Sorry folks. The beans were super popular. I would get them again, all of those sides. But the chicken...you might go in and taste-test it first. On the front end, it was so easy to arrange for this catering through the website and email. The communication was prompt and accurate. Changes, inquiries, and payment were handled seamlessly. I arranged for this food from long distance, and Beef&Butter really came through. It's a little more expensive than some other Madison options but in the end I was really happy to support this business and the people running it. I wish them great success in the future.

Nice place. Ambience is typical BBQ joint vibe and was clean…read more Had the brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, coleslaw and baked beans. The sausage is a rock star - it was fantastic. Sides were pretty good too. However, I have to say the brisket was a bit of a disappointment - it was way overcooked, like it had been smoked at too high of a temperature. It was edible but really dry. Just overcooked or held too long. Had to douse it in sauce to eat it which is a total shame. Would have been a 5 star rating if not for the brisket. I'd come back again, maybe when they were busier.

I would drive out of my way for a return visit. Keep bringing the great service and great bbq J's.

Menu said each cane with a side but when the bill came there was a separate charge for the side (a bit deceiving). There is a small discount if you pay cash.

The fries are flat, very thin, along the lines of potato chips and very very crispy. For what we got which is enough for another meal I thought the overall cost was high.

We were seated in a booth, which was very comfortable and the atmosphere was great. Lots of space for dining, as well as a large bar. There were just a few minor details--served water in a very cracked plastic tumbler that went unnoticed and quite a bit of dust and cobwebs on the light fixtures above the booths that prevent us from giving five stars. (Cool light fixtures, tho!) We'll be back when visiting the area, and believe this is definitely a try if you are in the area!

The smoked meats were on point, juicy, flavorful, and you can tell they take their time with it. The pulled pork and sausage had that perfect smoky bite, and even the brisket in the bowl hit. The sandwiches were stacked and messy in a good way, and the sides actually showed up too, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and cornbread all solid. If you want legit BBQ with big portions and real flavor, this spot is worth it. Service was attentive, the ambiance was cool too. I definitely will return when I'm in town.

Neither of us cared for their coleslaw, which is vinegar based. Overall we give it 7 out of 10. The service was handled by the bartender and she did a great job.

I was craving BBQ anyway so I ordered the brisket sandwich and at the last minute a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket sandwich looked good with a smoke ring on thick slices on the most cheapest generic white bun you could possibly get like some some cheap carnival hamburger. The brisket was moist and smokey with a kick from what ever sauce I picked from the two on the table which was satisfying but the meat was colder than the outside temperature I was in, cold Bbq on a warm summer day was weird. The Mac and cheese looked like pathetic cafeteria food with a mushy sticky texture and a light cheese flavor, cooked to mush, I like aged cheeses with bold flavors in a Mac and cheese so it's not just another generic Mac and cheese.

Every aspect of the Smoked Cue'ban was clearly made with care and arranged intentionally, which is way beyond what I'd expect from a quick sandwich for lunch. The bread was perfectly toasted, the pulled pork was stacked high and piled on neatly, the pickles maintained some crunch and weren't soggy, the Swiss was melty and cheese-pull ready, the fries were fresh... I was even approached to check on how the meal was. I don't think you'll find a better BBQ restaurant anywhere around here. Fantastic meal and very high quality, I'd order this for catering sometime too.
