Madison's Smoked BBQ

On Monday I stumbled upon Madison's Smoke BBQ recently craving BBQ food. Most of the BBQ places in my area were closed so I traveled from Wilmington to Newark to get some good BBQ.
I was greeted by Madison and purchased 2 meat, 2 sides and cornbread combo (brisket and pulled pork). Let me tell you... When I tasted the Mac and cheese and brisket it felt as though I had been transported to a family barbeque. This place is a hidden gem and was worth the travel!! If you find yourself craving BBQ on a Monday this is a great place to go!!

The first thing you'll notice is the ultra cleanliness, followed by a very friendly greeting. But the real treat is experiencing the moment (and those to follow) when you sink your teeth into some very delicious food. Take my word, but please do yourself a favor and experience it for yourself!

Mediocre BBQ. Not a bad price at $14.50 for a 3 meat platter. I got pulled pork that looked more like it had been run through a mixer rather than pulled, the brisket is pretty good and the chicken was meh! I got sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese as my sides. The potatoes were like baby food consistency.... The Mac and cheese was the best thing in my order. Flavorful and you can actually see the real cheese in each bite. And lastly, the corn bread was very sweet, almost like dessert. Could easily have been a store bought mix. I gave them 3 stars because the Mac and cheese was delicious and the brisket was better than I was expecting after eating the pork and chicken. Probably won't be returning!

Just tried this BBQ spot for the first time and overall I enjoyed it. I had the 2 meat combo platter with beef brisket, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and beans (hold the cornbread!!). My favorites were the beef brisket and Mac and cheese and I highly recommend those to try for first timers. Portion was good; I had a lot of leftovers!

Have eyed this place for a while and finally stopped in. Ordered take out, rack of ribs, Mac-n-cheese and greens. All was awesome, will definitely stop in again and try something new. Will also recommend to others. Family owned, love to support family owned business.
