Great service, friendly and homey. We had a baby and another child with us and the kids were welcomed and enjoyed.Kid-friendliness: Our kids were allowed to be kids and other customers enjoyed our kids as well. Good food for every age.

We just moved to the DeForest area, and this location was recommended to us. We enjoy smoked meat and all of the associated sides, so we decided to check out out. We were warmly greeted, as if we were regulars, and quickly seated. Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. Our food was served quickly. Our server's recommendations were right on the mark. We really enjoyed everything. The cheesy potatoes and the cornbread were our favorite sides. I tried one of the platters to sample so that I could sample several mains. The ribs and pulled pork were favorites. The brisket was good, but not really notable, as was the chicken. The gumbo soup was also great. The meat was served "dry" and there were several bbq sauce choices to help take the food in the direction you enjoy. We've already returned and will continue. The prices aren't really a bargain, but they seem to do a solid business, so they're apparently appropriate for the local market. Definitely recommend.

Food was good, no nutritional info on website and no real way to identify low sodium options on menu. Service was great, food was too but disappointed that the baked potato came salted as that's usually my go to for no sodium optionsDietary restrictions: Not a lot of info

North and South Seafood and BBQ in DeForest exceeded expectations! Ribs were tender, practically melting off the bone. The beans were a delightful surprise, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend for a flavorful dining experience.
I surprised my girlfriend with a date night and I had chosen North and South from all of the great things everyone I spoke to about the restaurant had to say! We had the Cajun Catfish bites as an appetizer, I would HIGHLY recommend them! Both, my girlfriend and I got the perch fish fry. I can’t say the last time I had such a good fish fry! Our waiter Rick was amazing! He was all smiles, awesome with recommendations and just an overall 10/10 waiter! The whole staff there is so friendly and makes your experience so much better! To end our dinner we tried the highly suggested Fried Ice cream, it was the most delicious dessert I’ve had in such a long time! Without a doubt I will be telling anyone who is looking for a great experience and even greater food to come here! North and South has become one of my favorite places to visit in the Madison area! If you get a chance to eat there, you’ll be happy you did!

Busy, popular place. Good BBQ. Can be inconsistent. Excellent burnt ends. Ribs are hit and miss though usually good. My wife likes the catfish quite a bit.

Really great service for a buffet. The ribs were really good, tender and sweet. The rest of the food was average, nothing special.We attended a presentation, so the speaker paid for the meal.

Cute place, moderate volume, attentive staff, amazing food!Pictured: 50/50 sandwich with fries (we asked for pickles to add) and carmel cheesecake for dessert!Not pictured: Armadillo eggs, which had the perfect blend of kick and smoke. It came with a spicy ranch which was a tasty dip for the fries, not that they needed it.Parking: Tons of parking since the restaurant is located in a strip mallWheelchair accessibility: Accessible front parking, flat surfaces, large bathroom stall
