We had a wonderful time there yesterday. We had never been there before . We had the quesadillas and the were really good. Happy hour 3-6:00. Sat around the fireplace. Very professional.

We went for restaurant week. The cheese curds tasted good, and the potato balls were delicious too. The fried cod was pretty good. It was a huge serving as well. The French fries were good. The chips have a weird aftertaste. Brisket was good too. S'mores tart was too sweet. Fried cornbread tasted good.

To start, my partner and I haven’t ordered from Liberty Station in nearly 6-ish months. Tonight, we chose to order firecracker shrimp and cod tacos for takeout. The food was absolutely delicious (as always). And the restaurant had been busy as customers laughed while socializing. Hence, the restaurant’s atmosphere is welcoming, social, alongside the restaurant offers attentive staff. Though, I think the qty of shrimp could’ve been increased. In short, I highly recommend Liberty Station for barbecue and low-fat exquisite tacos.

Wow! Can’t WAIT to go back!!!
Went for the first time last night and sat in the bar. Super friendly and efficient staff. Can tell they really appreciated our business. Mike is an excellent manager.
We had the happy hour brisket tacos, the brisket quesadillas, brisket plate with Mac n cheese and beans. Most delicious brisket!!! Everything was mouthwatering delicious! We only eat red meat once a month and this is now our go-to until we exhaust the very appealing menu. 😃

Wings were fried not smoked. Food was low quality. I dont think they have a smoker on site. All meats tasted old or stale. $46 for a bbq platter. Real bbq prices without delivering the goods. Totally disappointing. I do not recommend and will not be back.

Brisket chili was some of the best chili I've ever had! Wish I could have brought home a bucket to store away for the winter! Fries were also perfection!

I can't rate this five stars but do like the place.
We ate out on the patio for lunch on a nice fall day. Our server was well trained and friendly. I got the pulled chicken sandwich which looked great but sadly was not. They made the huge mistake mixing the chicken with a sauce before hand to the point that the chicken looked like pulled pork. Dark brown and extremely salty because of the sauce. The bun was perfect and the cheese on top looked great. Not so much the onions which were supposed to be straw onions. They were not. They were regular onion rings and greasy. The whole thing was

My wife and I have been here a few times with fond memories. The first time we loved the tavern tots and wanted to make them at home.
Tonight we chose to come here for our fourth anniversary and were served with disappointment.
The tavern tots were way too big and a soggy uncooked mess in the middle.
My wife ordered fish and chips and didn't care for it. She didn't finish it and didn't want the leftovers.
I ordered the walleye and it was completely without flavor. I finished to not waste food.
We saw the manager sitting at a table. He and he had no time to speak with customers. He was too

This place is a fave of ours! Me and my love visited Liberty station (again) and made sure to try new dishes!

We got the shrimp appetizer which was great but essentially just deep fried shrimp tossed in sweet and sour sauce.

We also grabbed the brisket loaded fries appetizer which was my favorite of the night. Meaty flavorful cuts of beef brisket on top of a bed of perfectly crisped fries and a Smokey sauce that was unique but complimented the dish. Definitely will order the brisket fries again.

I had the walleye and it was super bland and mediocre but all the ingredients were fresh and well

We ordered the brisket and ribs to go, with Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and cornbread as the sides. The Mac and cheese was great, not super cheesy, which was a nice twist. The mashed potatoes were very peppery, and a little too complicated. The brisket and ribs were great! Both fall of the bone, super tender meats.

I was here for Happy Hour and was not disappointed! Nestled right by the highway, this is a great bar with a an awesome patio atmosphere and really good food.

We had the Tavern Tots -- you should always order these. Whatever sorcery and delicious caloric contents are inside these "tavern tots," I don't need to know, they were incredible. The pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches were both excellent and the buns were heated to absolute perfection. The fries are delicious and nothing was greasy or heavy, it was refreshing.

Our service was excellent! Shout out to Todd, who had

If you are a fan of a quality smoked brisket, pork, or ribs this is your place.

If this place was in Texas they would be lined up around the corner to get in.

The Brisket is a tricky meat to smoke and they have it nailed. Great smoke and tender like a filet and moist. The trifecta of a good brisket and theirs is great!!!

The sides are a great compliment to the smoked meats.

Oh and the atmosphere... how fun!

What a great place!!!

WE live nearby and have been to Liberty Station three times in the past few months. We dined there last weekend (third week in August 2021) and that experience has prompted me to write this review. The restaurant is located in a tired shopping center and features some outside seating with a view of the parking lot. To be fair they have planted a row of trees to give you some visual relief. On our first two trips to Liberty Station we had overpriced hamburgers which were good.
On our recent visit, wife ordered the flatiron steak ($20+) and I had a salad. We did not order any drinks or appetizers

Pulled pork was amazing! Very tender and it even had some fat in there, which I like. Not too much, just enough to give it some flavor. Fries needed more salt in my opinion but the spuds themselves were good. Honey butter for the cornbread was sweet and flavorful!

Disappointed the patio isn't dog friendly. So we ordered take out. We got the fish & chips, for being take out it was okay. Would be much better eaten fresh. We also ordered the fire cracker shrimp and salad. I'd say the fire cracker shrimp were my favorite! Will return when they aren't quoting a hour to hour & half for to go orders.

The food was served fast and fresh out of the kitchen—substantial portions of meat in every meal. The staff was courteous and attentive throughout the entire dining experience. The unique atmosphere brought the meal together. Truly a wonderful experience.

What a great place near the highway with good food and drinks at a reasonable price (especially during happy hour daily 3-6 pm - if you have the chance to try this place, I suggest coming during this time)! I tried it first time and then went back two more times within two weeks. The menu is quite large with something for everyone from tasty wings to hearty BBQ meats. Everything I have tried has been great. I've tried the cheese curds, the wings, the BBQ sampler, the cod fish and chips and the blueberry cobbler dessert. The brisket is very good and you can see the smoker doing its job so you

Came here with some customers. Didn't know anything about this place and I was pleasantly surprised! Placed smelled great and was very cool inside. There was a smoker out back which was really cool. The food was fantastic. I had the pork shoulder and Mac and cheese. Everything was fantastic. My customers both got the brisket and loved that as well. The service was really good and quick. I highly recommend this place!!

I am such a fan of liberty station, I've been here at least half a dozen times and it doesn't disappoint, ESPECIALLY, if you come for happy hour (everyday from 3-6pm!).

Here's the low down on the hh food and my go to drink
- $5 old fashioned, however you like it, delish and hits the spot every time
-$15 you're willing to splurge, old fashioned which is phenomenal. Made with whistle pig and perfectly highlights it. Just yum
- tavern tots, remember how much you like tots? Well add cheese and crema melty gooiness inside and here it is. Just puré amazing
- cheese curds, $5

Solidly good food, great in room dining service, good adherence by staff and patrons alike during COVID.
We went this past Sunday and we're promptly seated in a room with ample table distancing. The family favorite-strangely enough-was the firecracker shrimp. I was a little disappointed with the brisket chili a dish I've had in other BBQ joints that had a better flavor. The quest is unnecessary and actually detracts. Drinks were good, the signature burger cooked to my liking. The brisket entree was tender but a bit in the dryer side than I'm used to. Kids loved the cheese curds

Smokey, flavorful, tender bbq!

I've been wanting to stop by since the restaurant opened this summer. Finally had the opportunity to come in for bbq dinner and cocktails. The restaurant has a big open atmosphere, industrial design, with warm lighting and wonderful fireplaces. Beautiful patio area, can't wait to return in the summer with friends.

Started off with some of the firecracker shrimp appetizer, I wish it had a little more heat, but we really enjoyed the app! We ordered the ribs and brisket entrees, all had excellent side options. I chose the baked beans and side salad with

Thank You Liberty Station for bringing out our take-out order to our car today!

The Brisket Sandwich was IN-credible!!!
The bun was perfect and the brisket was super tender and plentiful. The melted cheese, BBQ sauce and pickles made it even more delicious! Best. Brisket. Ever.

We chose the freshly made chips for the side. YUM. Think gourmet-elevated BBQ potato chips. They did not disappoint.

Download their menu, call in your pickup order, park in one of the designated spots and they'll bring your order out to you. It looks like they have plenty of outdoor seating with heaters as well

Stopped by during happy hour. Ordered off the HH menu, got the cheese curds ($5), firecracker shrimp ($10), brisket quesadilla and brisket loaded fries ($10 each) plus the pulled pork sandwich ($9 without a soda/draft beer or wine, $13 with).

Overall good experience with friendly staff and environment. 5

Food was mediocre but we did just order off the HH menu. Felt the cheese curds were a little salty but the sauce helped.. the quesadilla was a little greasy that after a bite there was grease dripping down my hand, wish they offered some kind of bbq sauce to go with. The loaded fries where

This is my first time trying this place and very impressed! I ordered curbside and it took them less than eight minutes from the time I ordered. Today I had the brisket sandwich which was messy but Yum! I failed to see the small print saying that sandwiches are served with your choice of french fries, coleslaw or BBQ dusted house chips. Instead, I ordered the cornbread which was delicious! It came with butter. I love that my take-out was in recyclable cardboard boxes rather than styrofoam.

The outdoor patio is spacious and has a fire pit. Hugo, the evening manager, said that they're planning

My wife and I love coming here! Great food and always great service. We split a bunch of stuff and they do a really great job of that.
Wedge Salad - So refreshing, especially when it's really hot out. Great dressing and just overall very well done.
Prime Rib Dip - I mean, best thing on the menu (in my opinion). The horseradish sauce, the au jus, everything is awesome.
Side of Tots - Cheesy Tots are epic, especially with the serrano sauce.

As for Madison Metro area BBQ and smoked meat grubs go, this place although very new is leading with a strong opening! Even during a trying and slow time of COVID matters, this place impressed me.

Very kind servers and staff start to end. making you feel super welcome and taking good care of my every need. GM Matt and server Ryan were both top notch my whole visit. Able to answer any questions I had on the business and the many items I got. I even got a close up shot of the massive camelback smoker they have in the back, way cool!

As my pictures show I tried a number of items from apps, entrees
