This restaurant was recommended to us from staff at a business in Pilot Mountain we were visiting. We were greeted with a smile and seated right away. I guess that's what you get when you are in the land of Mayberry. Our server was very nice. The menu had a variety of items, but it boasts on being a place for ribs and seafood. It was lunchtime and I wanted something lighter. I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich with a side of sauteed veggies. The sandwich was large. The chicken was juicy, but even though it was blackened, it could have used more seasoning or salt. The Kaiser bun was a good bread choice. I liked the fried onion straws that were added to the sandwich.The sauteed veggies were a mixture of zuchinni, onions and green pepper. It was seasoned well and not too greasy. It was good for a stop, but I wish I would have tried some ribs or seafood. read more

Fantastic food at a great price too. We had steaks, the seasoning was delicate and tasty. The grilled veges--spot on perfect. The staff was nice and there was a lot of "energy" to enjoy. We ate at the bar since the wait was long which we will do again. The beer selection wasn't a lot but was perfectly selected. Mt. Airy scored big with this restaurant. It's worth the wait!! read more

I love this place it' has a great atmosphere and the service and staff are amazing! The food I've tried has always been great. I love the ribs best I've had in America. I've been in 48 states & none come close to the great taste of 13 Bones. read more

Great service and food. Plenty of parking, carry out and they cater . Be sure to ask about the desserts

Food was delicious, and appreciated The space between tables, and the Covid protocol. Honestly great food, decent price, would go there again in a heartbeat! Thanks for a fabulous meal! read more

Great place for a great Ribeye..the fresh potato chips with homemade French onion dip.. Memphis style ribs just fall off the bone .. was thankful our waitress told us onion rings are frozen rings .. their tobacco onions are very good (they are like onion rings but not whole rings , just strips of onion.. right amount of coating..if it was a ring) read more

Perfect in every area. Delicious food, great service. They're always packed, get there early to eat.

13 Bones - Half Rack - Salad Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

i ordered the blackened salmon with two sides and a roll. my salmon was flavorless, with only an oddly-small, sweet taste to the blackened seasoning on the top. my sides also had this issue - tasteless. the waiter was nice, in a rush, but as a former waitress i understand completely. the staff in general was nice and were doing their jobs, so this place seems stable. the food was a let down for my first time. read more

This was our second visit there and it was just as good as the first. The first time we went there was a long wait but didn't mind. This time we went later in the evening and was seated immediately. Service both time was great and the food is very good with plentiful servings. 13 Bones is a family run restaurant that has been there for several years, and for good reason. Between the excellent service and food they really know how to make their customers happy. They have t-shirts and other apparel that you can buy and each item has a different verse from the bible on it with art work. Very nice. If you find yourself in Mount Airy stop in enjoy all they have to offer. You will be glad you did...No Bones About It. read more

I decided to stop by after showing property in Mt. Airy it did not disappoint. The staff was warm and welcoming, the service was quick. Definitely get their house made chips and french onion dip. My husband got pulled pork nachos and loved them. I got honey chicken it was great the sides were a little bland but still good. I will definitely be back when showing up in this area. read more

I would love to post a picture with my review but we demolished both our meals! Some reviews on google were not good but I cannot understand why. Service by Logan H. Was outstanding! We started with fried pickles, hubs had ribeye and ribs combo with baked beans and fries. I had the honey dipped chicken with Mac and cheese and string beans, both came with yeast rolls. Hubs says steak was cooked to perfection and he didn't add a thing which is unusual for him. Chicken was crunchy but juicy inside. Cannot complain about a thing! And, they have Coke Zero which was a huge plus! We will stop any time we are in the area. read more

13 Bones definitely draws a crowd. While there is typically a wait, sometimes 45 minutes plus from what I hear, we did manage to snag a seat at that bar. I tried the lemon pepper trout, a got a piece of grilled and light breaded. Both were good but nothing great to be said. I tried some of the pork, again not bad but it didn't rock my world. A popular place, a decent meal at a fair price. read more

Great time with kids visiting mount airy with the kids and having lunch here too ! Great prices and plenty of food

This is our second time here and it will be part of our visit whenever we visit Mount Airy. This restaurant has excellent and attentive service. The food comes out in a timely manner and everyone is served at the same time. We enjoy the fun and friendly atmosphere as well. read more

My wife and I visited from Southport,NC where not impressed. The inside decor was just old and tired, with some areas not painted. The food was just ok. I had the rib sandwich, with toasted buttered bun. My wife the pulled pork dinner. The meat was good. We both had a try at the Mac and cheese which reminded us of zraft Mac and cheese in a box. At least put the Mac and cheese in the oven and get a nice crunch on the cheese. The best part is the pricing, very reasonable. We had the apple cake, it was ok however it was missing walnuts. We will not be back. read more

Excellent service. Catfish, ribs, mac and cheese were good. Chips and hush puppies were overcooked, waitress brought new orders out and they were also not eatable. Overall, good for the price, however, I would not order any fried items. read more

Loved the rib sandwich until I found a hair in it twice!! In the same day. Went thru drive thru and when I opened the box it was there. I went back thru and that made me another and said it was "fresh". However, some how a hair was again present in the box. I talked to a manger about it and he did not seem sincere about the hair at all. read more

13 Bones - Salad Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Food and service were both great. We had a bit of a wait, so we sat outside under the provided pavilion. It has benches and picnic tables, corn hole boards, and what looked to be gas fire pits. Prices were great and we enjoyed our visit. read more

13 bones was so good. We had the pork ribs and the double pork chop and it was all delicious. we also had the best fried pickles as an appetizer that we've ever eaten. Our waitress was very good also in recommending delicious dishes. read more

Today was the first time trying 13 bones. The food is bland. When your order comes out in such an expensive place to eat.. You expect to start eating however the sides for my burger were on the side lol. I was shocked that we had to add the extras to our food lol. It wasnt put together... After paying $60 for 2 adults and a child i have to say i should've gone to McDonalds and i hate McDonalds. The atmosphere is nice.. But its too dark to read the menu. The waitress was very nice. But she did forget some of our order in which she joked that it happens a lot there. We didnt even realize until we were ready to pay. The fries are sooooo salty... Myself and my daughter couldnt even eat them. The salad for some reason altho looked amazing... My first bite was extremely bitter... Along with the 3 bites i tried to get down after the first. My husband couldnt eat it either. My husbands steak was blah.. No seasoning. Cooked good but no seasoning. My daughters chicken tenders were.over cooked. The breading was a very dark brown instead of golden. She tried to eat it but said it tasted gross. When i tried the chicken tender... It had a burnt taste to it and it was very hard to try to bite. Do i recommend going here??? That choice is yours really... My family wont return. Too expensive to just throw gross food out!! read more

How this place is 4 stars is completely beyond my family and I. The service was great but the food is down right terrible. My husband and I both ordered the 13oz ribeye medium rare and we are firm believers that if you need A1 for steak it's not very good, that being said there was not enough A1 in the world to give this steak a good taste it was bland and under seasoned. My husbands was rare and parts of it blood red and mostly fat, mine was rare and cold. The sides were also lack luster at 17 a plate you would expect more than green beans straight from a can no seasoning or anything, the potatoes were equally as boring. Our fried pickles were decent. Overall very disappointed. Update: My 5yr old son undoubtedly got food poisoning from eating here and was puking just a matter of hours after we left. read more

Very good food. Nice, friendly waitstaff. The macaroni and cheese was a little runny and looked like "fake" cheese. But the grilled veggies were excellent. The ribs were exceptional. My spouse got the salmon and it was a touch over cooked but still edible. read more

My hotel suggested that I come here. Happy I did as the food is most excellent. The sweet tea is out o the world! The 1/2 rack of ribs and grilled shrimp are amazing. The mash potatoes and broccoli rock. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Always great service here. I have never actually found the right combination of food there that I can say is perfect and I love it. Everyone brags on there ribs but my husband got them and he wasn't impressed. Normally I just order something like chicken or hamburger steak so I know I will eat it. I do like the atmosphere at 13 Bones read more

The wife and I came in to eat this afternoon after all day driving and no lunch starving... had to wait about 5 minutes for a table, it was busy. Waitress was great, took her time with us as we ordered ribs, shrimp and flounder with cheese sticks. Everything was spot on, not because we were hungry but just good food, especially the ribs. We walked out satisfied with food and amount of the bill. Great job guys! read more

Excellent local cuisine, including the drop-off-the-bone babyback ribs, from which the name of the restaurant is derived. It's packed on weekend nights, and the parking is difficult because you have to drive through the lot of the adjacent restaurant to reach 13 Bones. The food was worth the effort of waiting for 25 minutes. read more

Several years ago we passed through Mt. Airy and stopped at 13 Bones. We had some memorable BBQ. Our server told us that the restaurant's name 13 Bones referred to rib bones. We're on the road again, and since Mt. Airy is on the way we made that our stopping point so we could go to 13 Bones. What a disappointment! They no longer are a BBQ restaurant. There was very little BBQ on the menu and it was only pork. The DH had the ribs. I had the chopped pork. It was just okay. We will not make a point of going there again. We live in Lansing, Mi. An area not known for BBQ. Yet we have better BBQ than 13 Bones. We had some outstanding BBQ in Marion, Illinois. Who goes to Illinois for BBQ!? Isn't that Southern cuisine? I want to ask if 13 Bones changed its menu since we were there, or do we remember something that never was? read more

The ribeye was good and so were the ribs. The place was clean and the service was excellent. The only thing is they could use some help on their sides. Mac n cheese was a bit runny with sauce and seemed like typical food service garb and the rolls are mediocre as well. But then again, don't go for the sides because the entree is where it's at. I'd definitely return. read more

Great place for a casual lunch or dinner, nothing fancy but excellent food and decent prices .

So not impressed. Have ordered there at least 6-7 times thinking it was just an off-night... but nope! I just have not had a great meal there - very average diner tasting food. Their peanut butter pie is awesome, but they get it from a local baker. read more

Family loves this place. I ordered the pulled pork plate with hush puppies, green beans, and slaw. All was delicious. Recommend a stop. read more

13 Bones - Salad Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Tasty food The waitress seemed ok, just a little distracted so I couldn't get a refill They were somewhat busy, the busboy was very polite, but didn't sweep the floor underneath for the next customers. I would come back for the food. I ask for some extra onion topper, they did charge for them. I left most of them. But a cool place. I think the owners do a good job of trying to take of the customers ! read more
