City Barbeque
Madison, United States
City Barbeque is a smokehouse that does its work on-site — hickory, low heat, no shortcuts. The brand started in 1999; this Madison West outpost carries the same approach: meat over wood until it's ready. The smokers run on local hickory, and the method is competition-standard low and slow. What comes off the pit reflects that patience. It's barbecue done properly, in a city that doesn't always see it.
MISSION BBQ
Madison, United States
The Madison outpost sits on East Towne Boulevard, serving brisket, ribs, and pulled pork daily in a format that moves quickly without cutting corners. Founded in 2011, MISSION BBQ runs dozens of locations now, but the premise hasn't changed — barbecue done properly, plated fast, no fuss. Open seven days: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Walk in, order at the counter, and eat.
