Fort 88 Smokehouse - Barbecue restaurant in Fort Atkinson - 855 Lexington Blvd, USA

The food was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was good as well. The overall experience and atmosphere was 10/10, and I hope to visit again very soon!

The service and atmosphere is really the only good thing. We had lunch there 1/27/2024. Ordered burnt ends chicken wings and cheese curds. Burnt ends were terrible. Cheese curds were not cooked long enough and the chicken wings were microwaved for sure. We wanted BBQ smokehouse flavor, far from it. So we smoked our own ribs on Sunday. Don't call yourself a smokehouse when you are microwaving the meat after the fact of smoking it.

Came out here from Colorado to attend my kids's grandma's funeral. Before she passed she arranged for us to have dinner here for the extended family to get together after the funeral. And it turned out to be a really nice dinner. They took good care of us. And we were in our own separate little room which was nice and peaceful. Thank you.

Loved it. Ordered the 3 meat sampler. The overall flavor was excellent and the price was very fair given the portions. The BBQ sauces were also all amazing. They serve their pulled meat plain so you can add your own sauce; the meat alone is not very flavorful, you’ll need that BBQ. Brisket was great with just some salt. The service was outstanding! Very friendly and attentive staff. The one thing we found was different was that they serve their cornbread cold so it doesn’t dry out, but ironically because it was cold it felt dry. It was a super easy fix thought, the server was very nice and brought us additional, warm cornbread and it was fluffy and delicious! So if you like your cornbread warm and soft, just ask for it when ordering. Would drive the 45min from Madison again to come here.

Fantastic brisket! Fork tender, juicy and delicious. Ribs are also very good, but the brisket is the star. Big portions mean you won't go away hungry. Great quick service.

Food portions were massive and quality was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive, checking several times to see to our needs. They were quite busy, however, unlike many similar places you could actually hold a conversation without shouting.

First time had a brisket sandwich that was all fat and second time a short rib sandwich that was all burnt meat. Good place for burgers but not good for smoked meat.

Tasty old fashioned drinks, there are 2 types. Mac & cheese was good. Dumpling soup was very good. Steak was ok. Potatoes were not warm, steak was not warm too. Beans were tasty but not warm and did not look appetizing. Corn bread was room temperature and average taste. Ambiance is good.
