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.
What is the sentiment of this review?
negative
