I had lunch at Smoky Jon's on my first day in Madison. I had seen stellar reviews, claiming it was the best BBQ in Madison. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I ordered the brisket sandwich meal with fries and a side salad. The fries were the best thing on the plate (maybe it's because I don't have fries very often), but these fries were just okay. The salad was just bagged romaine lettuce with dressing in a packet. I know that brisket can be a little fatty, but my brisket was almost as much fat as meat. The brisket had soaked through the bottom side of my bun, so I ate it - or half of it - with a fork. I assume Smoky Jon's had an off-day when I was there because they really get great user reviews.

DH & I went there tonight for happy hour...they did not have many specials. A beer on tap for $2.50, well drinks for 2.50, or a hot dog for 2.50. We had a hot dog each and a drink. The hot dogs were ok, not much taste, but they were pretty big. Prices were good, just not enough choices.

I'd be lying if I told you I was excited to try Hot N Juicy. My Vegas friends were going on about it and I'm sort of a Cajun snob when it comes to this type of food. Whenever anyone mentions seafood in a bag in the back of my head I'm rolling my eyes thinking "Psh, this is gonna taste like shit compared to Boiling/Kickin Crab." Okay I was wrong. The seafood was fresh and the flavor of the Hot N Juicy sauce was fiiiire (bomb AND super spicy). I got spicy because I usually get spicy at boiling/kickin and it was a bit much so I recommend getting medium. The fries were definitely not the business.... And the corn was a bit soggy... BUT ONE THING I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will def come back for: ettouffe. It isn't necessarily gumbo but it's similar to it just less soupy... omg seriously so fucking delicious. DROOL.

The best cupcakes in Henderson! Consistently moist and fresh! I don't usually like frosting, but theirs is always yummy! I also love their gooey bars (chocolate, vanilla, and pumpkin are my favorites). The owner and her family are always friendly! Love this place!!!
