Have been here twice and the food is outstanding. The wings and beef brisket are both served with different flavored sauces to choose from - so yummy! I tried all the sauces, which are served in squirt bottles so you can squeeze however much you want onto your plate and mix and match, not having to bother the waitress to get more. We always sit at the bar so the service has been fabulous and there are big TVs mounted above so you can watch a game while you eat. We asked to change the channel so we could watch the Hawks one night (there was a b-ball game on), and our request was granted immediately. (Only a few patrons at the bar at the time - it was earlier in the hockey season). I also love that there are healthy options like broccoli instead of fries! I also love that they have a ton of flavors of Three Olives vodka (like maybe 15 or 20) and they pour a drink that isnt metered. Nice.... My only beef (excuse the pun) is that the beef brisket I had was pretty fatty the second time I went and had to pull it out of my sandwich to cut it off. Was not too happy about that, but the other time it was great, so Ill have to go again to see which is the norm. Overall, nice atmosphere, great food and we will certainly be back.

Easily my new favorite restaurant. I walked in and was immediately impressed by the décor in there. The bar has a really awesome look to it and it is packed with craft beer on draft and in bottles. They also have a really nice drink menu with a ton of yummy signature cocktails. As far as the food goes- I decided to get the cornbread appetizer due to my servers recommendation. Seriously so amazing! It isnt served with any old butter it gets a honey pecan butter than is the perfect amount of sweet to pair with the bread. For dinner I decided to get the pulled pork platter because I consider myself a connoisseur of pork. The pork was amazing! Perfect about of moister and with the right balanced of seasoning too. I also hate when I go out to BBQ places and they hide their dry pork in BBQ sauce, so I was really excited that they leave it up to you to pick which sauce you want and let you put it on yourself. Lastly the service is worth mentioning too because everyone was really helpful and friendly. My server was quick to get anything I needed- even before having to ask. Overall really really excited to have finally found an awesome BBQ place in the area and I plan on coming back soon!

My husband and I came in with out of town guests. We had been here before and loved the food and the service. Last night was a total disaster. We were told there was approximately a 40 minute wait. No problem. We found seats at the bar, waited 20 minutes and the bartender never even looked at us. We were totally ignored. All of the tables in the bar were empty, but we were told by the host that we couldnt sit at any of them as they were for people waiting. I finally said enough of this and we got up to leave. I explained our frustration to the host and he said there was a backup in the kitchen. Very poor planning by management. We went across the street, was seated immediately, ordered drinks, had a lovely dinner, and saw quite a few people who had been waiting at Smokey Bones had come across the street and had dinner. It might be awhile before we go back.

Wanted to try something new while we were out and about and thought of this place ( as wed seen it before driving by). We were super pleased with absolutely everything! Allison was our server and she was great. Not only did she suggest great appetizers and food, she had a great attitude and attentiveness throughout the night. We got their grill for two (which is apparently a newer item) which is like a sample platter - smoked wings, ribs, chicken, steak, sausage, potatoes, onions, and peppers, and OMG. EVERY MORSEL was delicious! My husband is not a fan of chicken, but he couldnt even deny the amazing taste of it. The house BBQ sauce is amazing! Our experience overall was amazing and more than expected! Cant wait to go back to try their dessert!!

Not impressed with the food. I ordered the loaded potato and salad. I paid 15 dollars for wilted lettuce smothered in Cesar dressing and extra hard croutons. I had the choice of brisket or pulled pork, I chose the brisket, bad choice. The potatos was small, undercooked, cut in half, which I received only one half of it, with a a table spoon of hard dried brisket dumped on top and a teaspoon of sour cream. Smh The waitress put on her pretentious smile and bubbly additude in hopes of getting a rouse out of me. Honey, Im to classy for that kind of nonsense. My friend and I even tipped her well above what she deserved. Needless to say, I wont order that again. Smh Dont Order The Loaded Potato and Salad, youll be disappointed.

This place serves delicious BBQ notwithstanding an admittedly rather unappetizing name (Smokey Bones? Where is the meat on the bones?). Actually, having ordered the ribs, the meat easily peels right off the bone. Same goes for the wings. That is an indicator that the food is well prepared and well cooked. The buffalo wings come with a dry rub, so not as much sauce as one might expect, but great ribs, great wings. Also there is a reasonably diverse offering of side dishes. This restaurant is one I return to on a regular basis.

Came to this restaurant for the first time. Ordered the nachos with pulled pork and a chopped salad. Tortilla chips were stale, the presentation was messy, barely any meat, or toppings. It reminded me of nachos I can microwave at home. The salad on the other hand was just gross. It had absolutely no flavor and a ingredient was left off. The chicken pieces were so small that I didnt even notice them in my salad. Service was speedy but the food was god awful. Defiantly will NOT be returning.

The food is good, especially the dry rub wings. Went for playoff football in the bar and they wouldnt turn on sound for the game. huh? asked bartender and she asked her manager who just said no and walked away. people sitting at the bar all watching a silent game. took off before game ended and headed to BWW. Its not all about the food. Not sure what crowd theyre trying to hold if they are setup for sports bar atmosphere but won turn channels and sound for it. confused.

The burgers we had, done medium well, were so delicious and juicy! I dont typically eat burgers, but had the taste for meat this day. Definitely came to the right place! The fries were also good too, done just right. Our sever was Shinelle and she was so nice, she offered her suggestions and she got everything we asked for with a smile and very quickly!! It was nice. We had a great experience and will most definitely spread the word and be back!

Food is adequate, but slow. Service lacking. Went for lunch today, ordered a chicken sandwich and my friend ordered a simple salad. We were on our lunch break from work. Food took 30+ minutes to arrive, despite us putting our orders in immediately. Waitress didnt stop by even once to check on us, we had to ask the passing hostess for an update on our food. It wasnt even all that busy. Overall a negative experience. Go elsewhere.
