North and South Seafood & Smokehouse

I ordered the firecracker ship with mac and cheese and clam chowder and it was great! I enjoyed the firecracker shrimp's sauce. The only thing was it was listed as sweet and spicy. It was sweet but definitely not even slightly spicy which was a little disappointing. Regardless, it was delicious! The mac and cheese is your standard mac and cheese, nothing crazy special. The clam chowder was a bit too sour in my opinion. I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars because of the service! Our server was super friendly and kind. She was attentive and provided a nice dining experience. The restaurant was busy but there are plenty of seats. I would recommend trying this place!

After a tour of the nearby Epic campus (it's amazing, you should go), my family and I wanted a late lunch before heading home. North and South Seafood & Smokehouse has a location reasonably close by and I remember enjoying the food at one of their other locations, so we made that our choice. I had the full rack of ribs with mac & cheese and hush puppies, my wife had chicken tenders with mac & cheese and fries, and both kids had plain cheeseburgers with fries. We also shared corn muffins and cheese curds.Both the corn muffins and cheese curds were great. For $5 (as of this review), you get five corn muffins and they may be the best value on the entire menu in terms of both price to quantity and quality. The curds were freshly battered and delicious.The ribs were good, but parts were a little drier than I'd prefer. I enjoyed the KC BBQ sauce they put in it and the smoky BBQ sauce at the table was good too. I did not regret going with the mac & cheese or the hush puppies.My wife thought the chicken tenders were bland, but to be fair, they normally come with a sauce on them that she asked to not have, so she realized that they may not add much seasoning to the breading if they're just going to cover it up with a sauce. She was surprised to see that the only burger they serve is on the kids menu.One kid ate his burger without complaints while the other surprisingly didn't love his. All of them thought the fries were good and my wife liked the mac & cheese too.

Nice and clean restaurant. Sat at the bar for a couple of drinks with adults grandson. He was carded but didn't request my ID. Couple of drinks and appetizers. Great service and mix drinks were perfect. Large selection of beer on tap and great food list.

Great dining option in the Verona, WI area. It's not the best food I've ever eaten, but it was solid, had many options, and very good service. I dined in on a Saturday night and it was busy, but my party of 5 was seated right away. Our waitress was friendly, funny, and made the experience enjoyable. There was something on the menu for everyone. My cousins got some fun mixed drinks and opted for more of the barbecue options. I went with an ahi tuna salad and was impressed with the amount of tuna included. The wasabi dressing was a bit too strong for my liking, and would've been more enjoyable with a regular ranch. The tacos looked very good as well. The prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Verona.

Moving to Madison from Austin, we miss the BBQ we were used to in Texas. This a go-to spot for Southern comfort food and BBQ. The food is good and the menu expansive -- plus the management is extremely hands-on and responsive. We had an order of one of the rib options that was unexpectedly tough and not what was expected and when the floor manager came over to ask how our meal was, and heard this, he had a replacement order of a better quality of ribs brought to us gratis and scrubbed the original order from the bill. That wasn't asked for, he did it to be gracious -- these folks go out of their way to keep a customer happy and coming back (and we will!). Thanks much!PS: They know how to serve catfish here. That is not always a given, esp. up in the North. The catfish appetizer bites are something I always order. If catfish was on the taco option list, that would be even better!

Their motto is "Free Smells!" And that smell engulfs your senses as you walk in. Super friendly service. Nice music playing that's low enough to hear, but not loud enough to disrupt conversation. Atmosphere is laid back. Chalkboard signs with sayings like "We like Pig Butts and we cannot lie" Nick was an awesome server. He had great suggestions and everything was delicious.

Service was excellent! The facility was clean! Food was delicious! I found on yelp, was skeptical taking my husband because he's fussy and don't like fancy! We were in for the Seafood! The Thursday shrimp special was one of our choices 20 pc shrimp and Icelandic Cod! Needless to say before we were done eating my husband was making plans to come back and bring our boys! The menu is so versatile, should be something for everyone!

As outta-towners we won't have the luxury of going back the second time before reviewing. In this case, it makes me a bit sad, because all four of us left impressed. Tte brisket was totally on point, the coconut shrimp was up to par, while the burnt ends and the sides were NEXT LEVEL - including the hash casserole, cornbread and the mac-N-Cheese!The bartender seemed to have a ton of well-traveled restaurant experience and piloted our meal for 4 at the bar with appreciable skill, while telling some great stories in the process. As this is the Madison metro area, there was of course a solid tap (and whiskey) selection, which was appreciated. The prices were reasonable and along with the aforementioned service, the portion size was plentiful and the ambiance was nice as the only people preferring to eat at the bar!We are adding this place to our MadTown list and look forward to coming back here and updating this review during next years' annual Madison visit.

Best new restaurant in Verona!!I took a group of coworkers out to lunch here, made a reservation for 8. Super friendly, had waters ready and waiting for us by the time we got in. Excellent food and incredible service. I'm a huge fan of their lunch specials, especially the BBQ bowls!Seriously can't wrong!

We found this place en route to my family's house for the holidays and stopped for a quick bite so we didn't show up cranky and starving. Our server was very friendly and our order came out quickly and accurately. They have a pretty big menu and daily specials. We tried the Thursday shrimp special. The shrimp were surprisingly tasty for a special. The bbq was good too- we had the pulled pork and the chicken breast (The Athens combo). My favorite sauce was the spicy one. Also, all of our sides were really good- especially the mac and cheese, which was delicious.
