Joey’s Seafood Changes to North and South Seafood & Smokehouse

(MADISON, Wis.) – Looking to further improve upon its menu offerings and differentiate itself from the former franchise of the same name, Joey’s Seafood is now North and South Seafood & Smokehouse, owners Keith and Erin Stoesz announced today.

In addition to its award-winning seafood (according to Madison Magazine and Taste of Madison), North and South will offer smokehouse items such as pulled pork, ribs and brisket as well as homemade BBQ sauces. Also, Three Count Beverage Co. revamped the bar menu.

“We want to make sure our customers have the best smart-casual dining experience possible,” Keith said. “The new menu reflects the cuisines that Erin and I have enjoyed throughout our lives, and we’re hopeful that diners will appreciate the additions.”

Nightly specials range from a smoked chicken dinner to fish fry. Happy hour takes place from 2:45-6 p.m. each weekday.

Keith and Erin opened the restaurant in 2005. The franchise system dissolved in 2007, but local owners were allowed to keep the name.

North and South Seafood & Smokehouse is located at 6604 Mineral Point Rd. It is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
