One was the sweet potato fries, which were super delicious and the other was their homemade applesauce, which was absolutely amazing. They had lots of sauces on the table to choose from. I really liked the classic barbecue and the Berry one. Everything tasted good. Our waitress was amazing and helped us pick up breakfast spot for the next morning. She was also just a really great waitress and super attentive. I would definitely recommend coming here.

We were on our way home from biking and decided to stop here for dinner after reading a recent…read morearticle in the Madison paper about their expansion to the city. It was about 5:30 on a Friday and the bar area had a smattering of patrons and the dining room was about a third full. We were immediately seated. Our waitress took our drink order promptly and our food order. We were surprised that it took a bit for our food to come out since most barbecue focused places have the food out in a flash. I ordered the half rack of St Louis ribs which were fall off the bone tender and very juicy. Just a touch of sauce was needed. I liked them a lot. My wife loved her brisket dinner. I did not care for their baked beans - they had a very strong flavor I did not like but my wife did. The seasoned potatoes were good and a big serving. The big problem was our server was impossible to flag down once she took our order. Others delivered the food and responded to our attempts to get help. It was somewhat busy but that was no excuse for her lack of attention. Fortunately a different waitress stepped in.

Service was hilariously bad. Couldn't make eye contact with servers/bartenders to save my life…read more Decent food, but certainly not worth the service hassle.

It's supposed to come with mushrooms, green peppers, and onions as well, but they were very lacking. It was more like a cheese pizza with just a couple veggies sprinkled on top. Definitely needed more! The crust was nice and soft and I loved that it had the large bubbles. The cheese and sauce were also fine. Overall, I'd say go for the sandwiches. Maybe some of the other pizzas have more toppings, but we won't be getting the veggie one again.

I've been craving prime rib, so I went during a very busy Saturday - though there was a 2 hour waitlist, a bar seat opened up in half an hour - a steal if you ask me. The prime rib itself was amazing - huge cut of beef, though I wish there was more au jus to accompany this titan of meat. I could have asked for more maybe. The sides were all right - I wish there was more than just butter and sour cream as options for the potato, and the broccoli was a bit overcooked. But overall, the prime rib special was a very solid option - and unless you're a big eater like me, expect lots of leftovers!

We've been to both the Verona and DeForest location. Food and service are great at both locations!…read more I like that Verona allows reservations but DeFroest does not and it fills up quick on a Friday night and parking is limited. Friday night fish fry IS A MUST!!! It is such a value and one of the best fish fry's we've had. I love that you have so many choices for sides and your not just stuck with fries and slaw. Verona also has a great outdoor space as well. We're hoping at some point they will branch out to McFarland, Monona or east Madison as it's about a 30 minute drive for us to get to any of there locations. They are such a hit, I can not imagine them not being successful at yet another location.

I had all the options! We ordered the Death Grip IPA and Briéekraut Oktoberfest, which we both loved. We started our meal with an order of nachos to start, and they were covered in a delicious nacho "cheese" and a a chili. My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!

We went on a Thursday night around 5. Plenty of space, there were only 2 other families there…read more Food 3/5: the ribs and brisket were dry and did not have much flavor. We got the end of the brisket they were currently cutting, so likely had been cut hours before and left which likely lead it to be dry. The chicken was ok, not much flavor and was on the drier side. The sausage was the best option we tried, good balance of flavor. The cornbread was also dry. The potato salad had good flavor. The Mac and cheese was the best thing we tried. I'd comeback for the sausage and Mac and cheese. Service 3/5: this is an order at the counter and sit down style. We had never been here before and overall did not feel helped when we were ordering. The staff just started at us and asked what we wanted instead of helping us walk through the steps of how to order (meat first and then you choose your sides). It got challenging because there was a growing line and many of us felt the same way of not really knowing what to order. I had to ask for extra plates for our kiddos, and was a little confused about extra condiments and things that were available in the restaurant. Ambiance 4/5: the restaurant was clean and plenty of places to sit. We were in the restaurant with another family with kids, and our kiddos ended up doing friendly dinosaur roads to the family across the restaurant. We all had a really good laugh. Overall most of the meat was dry but we liked some of the sides. The staff could have been more helpful in ordering. This is a kid friendly restaurant in our experience and had plenty of room to accommodate larger parties.

Solid BBQ resturaunt and they also sell frozen cuts of meat…read more Got beef brisket, collards, mac and cheese and sweet corn bread. You can tell how good a place is by their collard greens and theirs can hold their own. Big chunks of pork and the right amount of heat. They were a little more sweeter then I like, but that's more to my personal taste. Sweet ice tea was on point. Cornbread tasted homemade and brisket was tender, flavorful and had the pink smoke ring. The BBQ is sweet and spicy ( not to my taste, but if you like a kick- you will enjoy it.) The only negative and thus 4 stars was the mac and cheese, it just had a weird aftertaste like a cheese sauce from a can. Service was quick and waitstaff were super nice. Prices were extremely reasonable.

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!
