The shredded brisket sandwich and side of house BBQ sauce were great and are 5 star by themselves. The sides of corn and beans, in my opinion, were very average. I will gladly go back in the future.

Best bbq in and around madison and top 5 ive ever had. Atmosphere is very comfortable for a small town bbq joint. Staff was incredibly friendly and prices are great, under $20 A person if you love bbq as much as i do, under $15/person if you want smaller portions.

Madison's original and only 1 LB sirloin cheeseburger! Couldn't wait to dig in. Who would've thought that a place known for amazing ribs would have the biggest and best cheeseburger in Madison. I pour BBQ sauce on before each bite.

Tiffany and Torrance are so awesome and the Brisket was phenomenal!!! Tiffany steered me towards a larger portion which was the greatest choice. T and T were very conversational, knowledgeable, and had great energy. Torrance shared stories of Chicago (where we came up from) and told us stuff to visit in Madison. Overall: definitely number 1 for a reason.

Smoky Jon’s catered our wedding reception on August 24th, 2019 for about 150 people in Dodgeville, WI. Smoky Jon himself handled every detail. From our first conversation there was no doubt in my mind we picked the right caterer, Smoky Jon lives and breathes BBQ and catering. We knew by hiring Smoky Jon we’d be receiving 5 star professional service, 5 star food, and just the best experience overall. Thank you to everyone at Smoky Jon’s for making our wedding oh so delicious! Our guests have not stopped complementing us on the food! Truly THE BEST in the business!

Wow! A friend and I like to explore and share lunch at new and unique places. Just happened upon Smoky Jons today. What an experience. Wonderful portions at great prices. The smell just walking in was worth the visit. Will have to come back because the sliced brisket was so good I didn't have the stomach to try anything else. Also had a fun time bantering with some good humored staff. Highly recommend.

The ribs and sauce were fantastic - crispy outside, juicy inside, smoky, and tender. The sides were disappointing though. They were very small and not well seasoned (the potato salad and coleslaw could use a bit more salt & pepper, and the mac & cheese was too salty to finish eating).According to the menu, you can save $1 on a dinner platter by not ordering sides, and that's what I'd recommend. Go here for the meat!

The best place in madtown for ribs. Everything is smoked great. The only thing I wish they did was skin the ribs first. But if they did they may not survive the smoke to the plate with how fall off the bone they are. Loven the seasoned corn side. Come hungry leave stuffed

The owner thanked me for a 4 star rating and it got me thinking. Usually I'm just prompted by Google to give feedback, so I'm not a connoisseur, nor do I go out of my way to make ratings. Let me clarify then, that I held off on a full 5 stars for some fairly minor reasons. The flavor should have taken this into a solid maximum rating, but my friend thought he was going to get a brisket sandwich (and only got the sliced), and mine, in the combo meal, looked like it was shredded for a sandwich, but was not in a sandwich. Moving past that (and other minor confusion about the menu) this is some excellent BBQ. I'm literally craving it now, again, not 24 hours after, and I don't really care if it's in sandwich form or not.

Fantastic BBQ! The food was NOT dry. Delicious! Sides were tasty. Even took home some sauce in a bottle. The man himself, the creator of Smoky Jon's, was there and talked with everyone. I know he is not there all the time but it he showed a care and concern for each person there making sure it was a good experience. Let's just say the food does that on it's own though. Highly recommend!

I had the brisket, Mac and cheese and fries. Everything was outstanding and the bbq sauce was possibly the best i've had. Visiting from Vegas, I'll be back!
