The Pink Heifer Saloon and Smokehouse, just 30 miles SW of Madison in historic downtown Monticello, has developed a one-of-a-kind Saloon, where customers will be transported back to the late 1800’s to enjoy unique drinks, tasty “vittles,” live music & more. The Saloon with its unique ambience, fills a much-needed void where a couple could enjoy a wonderful “date night,” and anyone can celebrate a special occasion. Our smokehouse dining room, serves authentic southern style BBQ in a unique family friendly setting. The dining room resembles the outside of an old west town with a sheriff’s office and 2 jail cells for private parties! We only use USDA Prime brisket and premium pork, both smoked 14+ hours, in our state of the art smoker.
Based on 121 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price $$

Absolutely wonderful experience. Friendly fast service. The place is amazing looking with a historic feel. Cow Hyde chairs are a nice touch. The custom made cocktails were very tasty and brought a big range of flavor sensations. The sandwich was incredible. Brisk was sliced thick and fall apart tender. The pickles were very nice a mix of sweet and sour. The potato wedges we done perfect, nice crispy exterior and was soft interior. I can’t wait for my next visit I really want to try the 1/2 pound smokehouse burger. Worth the drive and time. This place is a hidden gem. Update tried the smokehouse burger and it was delicious. Highly recommend it.

I attended an event at the Pink Heifer. The food served was a buffet. The staff was excellent, and I even I met the owners. I would definitely recommend the Pink Heifer. They know what great service is all about.

Get the wagon rolls (pictured) !! 🙂 I had the burnt ends (pictured) and my husband had the fish fry. Everything was great and our server was awesome. Definitely worth checking out.

Good bbq! We stopped in for lunch and had sandwiches but could tell the meat was done right. Not a big of the wedge fry’s but the other side option were not really appealing either. We will be sure to stop for dinner some night, I have high hopes. I also plan on getting a carryout platter some time when we are entertaining.

From the moment we walked in, we were delighted by all this restaurant has to offer. It is beautifully decorated, smells wonderful and is incredibly clean. I ordered the burger & soup special. It was delicious! The chicken tortillia soup was hearty and flavorful and the Smokehouse Burger was cooked to perfection with an amazing char that added to its appeal. Paired with a brandy old fashion and I was one happy customer! I will certainly be back the next time I’m in the area.

Morgan was our bartender, waitress and local tour guide for all cool things you can do on and off a gravel bike. We tried to stop in again on the return trip for more delish BBQ but they were not yet open (Sunday). This is always going to be on our stopping list from now on.

1/3 of my wedges weren’t cooked. I had burnt ends and 1/2 rack ribs. I’m sorry but the ribs were cut across the bones diagonally. I couldn’t even eat one. Burnt ends were alright. Pickles were the star of the show. Price is higher then willy Nelson. The wait to get seated was as expected for a Friday at 7pm. It was 30 minutes before the waitress came to our table. She took our drink and food order. The wait for our food after that point was embarrassing and not worth it. I have been excited about coming here. I was let down!

The food is amazing! Had a plater with everything on it and couldn’t get enough! It’s expensive but totally worth it.

We waited 20 minutes to get a table so that wasn’t bad. The waitress took 15 minutes to even say anything to us !! It was busy so I understand. But all you have to say is I will be with you shortly not just ignoring us.
