Your questions, answered.
Find quick answers about ordering, catering, rewards, and your visit.
What is the Madison BBQ Saloon?
Madison is Pink Heifer's fast-casual sister location to the Monticello Mothership. It is built for quick pickup, delivery, lunch, late-night meals, and State Street energy.
Is Madison the same quality as Monticello?
Madison follows Pink Heifer recipes and quality standards with a smaller, more focused menu. Food is prepared by the central Pink Heifer smokehouse and delivered fresh to Madison, where the State Street team preps, carves, and serves it. The two restaurants do not prepare every meat in exactly the same way on site.
What is different about the Madison menu?
Madison offers a smaller menu designed for fast-casual service, while keeping Pink Heifer favorites including USDA Prime brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, signature Wagon Rolls, sandwiches, platters, Mac n’ Cheese bowls, salads, and scratch-made sides.
How long is the brisket smoked, and why does it rest?
Our USDA Prime brisket is smoked for 12 to 14 hours, then rested for 2 to 4 hours before carving to protect its tenderness, juices, and smokehouse flavor.
Can I order pickup or delivery?
Yes. Select Order Now to use the official Pink Heifer ordering page for pickup or delivery when available. DoorDash and Grubhub may also be available, but ordering directly is the preferred way to order from us.
Does Pink Heifer offer catering?
Yes. We cater office lunches, student organizations, game days, graduations, family gatherings, and special events. Start a request through the catering page or email events@pinkheifer.com with what you are planning.
How far ahead should I submit a catering request?
Send the request as early as you can, especially for larger groups and popular event dates. The team will confirm what is available.
What should I include in a catering request?
Share your event date, guest count, location, preferred timing, and whether you need pickup, delivery, or event service.
Is Monticello still a full-service restaurant?
Yes. The Monticello Mothership remains the full-service Pink Heifer Saloon and Smokehouse, with its larger menu, bar, live music, events, and banquet spaces. Madison brings the same barbecue standards to State Street in a faster format.
Where did Pink Heifer start?
Pink Heifer began at the historic Mothership at 149 North Main Street in Monticello, Wisconsin. That is where the recipes, standards, and identity behind the Madison BBQ Saloon were built.
What is StageCoach One?
StageCoach One is the Pink Heifer food trailer for fairs, festivals, community events, and special gatherings. Contact Pink Heifer to ask about bringing the SmokeShow to your event and current availability.
How do I join Heifer Herd Rewards?
Join the Heifer Herd and get a $10 Pink Heifer credit. The $10 Heifer Herd welcome credit is redeemable in store only at Pink Heifer BBQ Saloon in Madison. This is restaurant credit. Select Join the Herd to open our Madison Toast Rewards signup.
Is Pink Heifer ADA accessible?
