A few of us hit Smoky Jon's for lunch today. It was insisted that it's the best BBQ in Madison, so I was game to try it.\n\nThe place has character - you order at a window and go take a seat. They bring the food out to you. Nothing fancy - paper plates, styrofoam cups, etc.\n\nI got a chopped smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw and french fries. I snarfed a fry to start. Not very hot... \"warm\", I'd say. But tasty - salty. Could have been better if fresh, but they'll do. The coleslaw was the creamiest I've ever had. The flavor wasn't strong, but it was okay. Could have used a little salt and pepper - neither to be found. The pork was tasty - definitely smokey. The side of sauce made it, however. Sweet, tangy, spicy. While I was eating it, I thought \"yeah, it's okay - but I wouldn't rave about it\". Later, however, thinking back on the meal, I thought, \"you know, that was REALLY good!\"\n\nWhile it doesn't best the BBQ I've had in Memphis, it certainly cuts itself from the same cloth. I'd have it again. I think my meal was around $9 (no drink - had a water). I was full, and content. Mission accomplished!\n\nMy coworker had some ribs, and they looked very good - not too fatty, cooked well. I would like to go back and try them sometime!\n\nTip: Limited seating, so show up early (or late!)
