    My family and I have been coming to Madison for years and every year we do take-out from the Yankee Smokehouse. This year we decided to dine in and change it up. This place is a smokehouse but also a pizzeria, so we have always called it Pizza Pig because of the dual cuisine There was a 20 minute wait when we arrived and we seated at right about the 20 minute mark. We sat in the back of the restaurant along the window. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very loud in here as there is little sound absorption- so be prepared to speak loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also sat next to the service area, which didn't bother us at all, but something to be aware of. The back room requires two steps down, and there is no wheelchair access to this area - but the rest of the restaurant appears to be wheelchair accessible. Our waitress was pleasant and very busy! She was handling multiple tables efficiently. I came with my whole family and the great thing about this place is that there is a little bit for everyone. Don't like BBQ? No problem - they have pizza or sandwiches , even salads. You can even get a burger. I ordered the Reuben, my kids got a pizza and my husband got the brisket and pulled pork combo. Food came out hot. Kids loved the pizza. Brisket was a bit fatty and pulled pork was dry. My Reuben was delicious. Onions rings and fries were nice and crisp and huge! Overall, nice local option for smoked food or pizza! Not sure we would get the smoked meats - maybe not our thing. But would definitely come back for the Reuben, onion rings and pizza.

    Best north country BBQ around! Comfortable atmosphere, good service & affordable. You can also build your own pizza with the typical toppings or get several different kinds of Smokehouse BBQ pizzas. Solid 4 stars....,so check them out & Enjoy.

    Decided to head in Friday 9/29/2023, kind of cold and rainy day. Quickly greeted by a waitress and we were allowed to pick out seats (opted for the high top table in the bar area). Wife ordered the BBQ Sampler for 1 (see picture), she liked it enough, very basic, cooked properly but very little flavor, needed to use their bbq sauce (which was solid). I opted for one of the BBQ themed pizzas HOG TROUGH (see picture). The meats on it were ok, the veggies under cooked. The red sauce had no flavor add the dough was undercooked. It certainly wasn't horrible but very marginal at best. Hopefully this was just an off day in the kitchen. I live in the area, so I'll give one more try. When I do I'll update the review.

    So I was with some a group of my friends. Food had no seasoning and taste to it very bland. The service was awkward as I truly was the only person of color. The order was wrong and the waitress basically said we made the wrong order. However it was 13 in the our party and guest at our table even realize they are not taking our orders correctly. Sadly due to the bad experience and my treatment I'm not ever returning.

    Hugh portions, brisket was very tender BBQ, potato skins were a bit of a disappointment a bit blacken from the frying. Very happy attentive staff, willing to explain the menu details. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quite, music at a reasonable level, not blaring like at most places[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ribs & brisket meal

    What an interesting combo BBQ, pizza and other stuff like prime rib, Reubens, seafood dishes, so much to choose from. I had to try the burnt ends, so I got that with a garden salad. The full salad was huge. The burnt ends were good, not overly hard and sticky like some I've had. Three others got ribs and brisket. One of them said they found it a bit dry, but the others just handed her the sauce bottle. Someone mentioned that they liked that the ribs were not very fatty. The beans were really good, the coleslaw also good. The Texas toast good. There were no highlights that really stand out, but everything was good, including desserts - apple crisp and strawberry shortcake. The service was attentive and everything came out correctly. The beer selection was really limited, more local craft beer would be nice. But we definitely plan to come back and try other things.

    Smoked ribs. Look at that Pink!

    We came with no reservations on a Saturday evening and where promptly seated. The staff was prompt, polite and attentive. Place looks like any BBQ joint you encounter in the USA, but no one comes here to see what's on the walls. We came here to see what comes out the smoker. We started out with the Cornbread and Maple butter. The corn bread was hot and the maple butter was great. I tend to like the lighter cornbread's not the heavy ones so it was perfect way to start our meal. I had the two item BBQ sampler, Brisket with Smoked Ribs. The Brisket was perfect fork cut tender and had a great Smokey flavor. The house BBQ is a tad runny but a good balance between sweet and that BBQ tang. The Ribs are easily some of the best smoked ribs I ever had. The smoke ring pink zone was all the way through at times the peppery rub they use while smoking them was great. Wish their sauce glacéd a bit but the smoked flavor made up for it and when you have that good smoke I don't think I want to mask it with sauce. Their steak fries where outstanding, crisp and meaty perfect for sharing and enjoying. My wife had a pull pork sandwich with BBQ Beans. She enjoyed the roll they used, a toasted bun that held up to the pulled pork without turning to mush and the pile of pulled pork they used in her sandwich.

    Is this the place with the wood stacked up, the smoke billowing and the wood smell in the air?

    Their bbq sauce is fantastic and I love the pulled pork sandwiches, chicken fingers and no order would be complete without garlic bread.
