Reviews for Fat Jacks Barbecue in Monona, WI
What a wonderful experience the service was exceptional and the food was excellent we came in at 7:15 and they closed at 8 so we... said we could take our meal takeout so that we were not holding them up to close and they said we could eat in but we took itback to our hotel room. The prices were a little high but when we got our food the portions were well worth the price it feed usfor two meals Read more
Great food, but I don't like plastic bowls and silverware. I refused to eat at another restaurant for use of styrofoam and then... ended up here. Why do the people of Madison allow their restaurants to be so unsustainable? My next trip to Madison...that willbe my first question... only got plastic? I'll eat elsewhere. Read more
Food was great. Curb side pickup. Once the bag was in my car the wafting of smokehouse aroma filled the area. I closed my... windows to keep it inside!. Huge rack of ribs and 1/2 chicken, beans, mac and cheese, rice and beans. Lasted us 3 meals. Read more
The first impression is the great smoky smells as you enter. You order at the counter (or to go) and the staff is friendly and... helpful! Has an old school northwoods Wisconsin supper club ambiance. Typical offerings for BBQ, plus a kids menu, specials,soups, and wings. Full bar and bottle beers. Buffalo wings were good! Had the combo platter. Recommend the dry rub ribs and thepork! Read more
Atmosphere was pretty nice, service was excellent. The food was pretty good, but I've had better. I would have no problem going... back. Read more
I recently went here for my anniversary. The place was well lit and and busy. The staff was friendly, fast, and eager to answer... questions about the menu. My bf and I tried a couple of different dishes and shared them with each other. Each of the dishescame with fresh and vibrant salads, though we could have opted to choose the salad bar. The ribs were well smoked, tender,moist, and meaty with generous portions. The decor was interesting and not standard for restaurants. The historical memorabiliaseems to indicate that the person who started the restaurant was with a fire department. Maybe that's where the smoke controlcame from! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that I didn't enjoy the sauces. In hindsight, I wish I'd sampled thedifferent sauces before choosing the one I wanted on my meal. Sauces are so important with ribs. Read more
I hadn't been to Fat Jack's in years since moving out of the area, but I finally got to go back in August and it was just as... great as it always was. We went on Friday so my mom and I got the Friday Night Fish Fry. The fish was delicious and the breadingon the fish wasn't too heavy. The coleslaw is an apple cider based slaw (not mayo) which was unexpected, but it tasted great. Mywife got the BBQ Cajun Shrimp with red beans and rice. I had my fingers crossed because my wife is from Louisiana, but luckilyshe found a delicious slice of home at Fat Jack's. Will need to come back sometime to try the BBQ items. Read more
Fat Jack's is great it's a mom and pop shop and the food is very indigenous to this area it is a barbecue but it has excellent... cheese curds and other appetizers. This is one of our favorite Hangouts every time we come to Wisconsin! Read more
