I then ordered the open faced roast beef with mashed potatoes, the waiter came back and said they were out of this. I then proceeded to order the Philly cheese steak sandwich with onion rings. We waited at least 35-40 minutes for this to come out. The onion rings were hard and mediocre warm, not hot. The Philly was so hot we had to wait a minute to dig in. The Philly had a good taste to it, would order that again but the onion rings are just too crispy and extremely greasy. All in all, too long of a wait and they were out of items, no breakfast buffet. No hurry to come back.

We were at Windriver to look at homes, and had dinner at Citico's…read more We learned the chef is new for the restaurant, and is in the process of putting together menu changes, and has adopted a farm to table philosophy for Citico's. We started with the pimento dip, the menu states it comes with tortilla chips, but the chef has changed to use fresh homemade potato chips instead which both my wife and I prefer. It was really good. Next, we received our main courses. I ordered the steak, which comes with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. My wife ordered the salmon, which comes with rice. The steak was so good, it is now tied with the best steak I have ever had in my life. It was cooked perfectly, but what set it apart is that it was the most tender, melt in your mouth steak I have ever had. I don't know how they can get a steak that tender, but it was amazing. There were not a bad bite to the steak, it was really a perfect cut of steak that was sourced local. My wife's salmon was just as good, a crispy exterior with a moist, perfectly cooked filet of salmon. For dessert we ordered the Molton lava cake which my wife says she is a connoseur of molten lava cakes and is picky when it comes to them. Her verdict: amazing. This was really an excellent dinner in a cozy restaurant at the club. I would highly recommend Citico's, and have nothing but the highest praise for the new head chef.

My server was super nice and attentive so that was a plus. I sort of feared that my meal was going to end up in utter disaster, after I ordered what was supposed to be a caesar salad. You can see from my pictures, it's not. I don't even think it was Romaine, I think it was butter lettuce, but the lettuce was so warm and limp, it was like somebody left the salad on their dashboard with the sun beating down on it. No croutons, which was nice because I don't eat them anyways but at this point I'm starting to get skeptical because I just spent Texas Roadhouse type money on a truck stop diner. I got the surf and turf with sauteed shrimp and broccoli. I got to say, the steak, even though it was a dollar store steak, the cook made it perfectly for me, I ordered rare, and that's what I got. I hate to desecrate beef, but I had to season her up with a little bit of A1 steak sauce. I'm not overly disappointed, I knew what I was walking into, I just wanted to try something different than what I typically get at this place. But I do know the cook knows his stuff. I would eat here again though. It was decent, but I wouldn't recommend dropping $26 on the surf and turf. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

We are in town visiting family. We stopped at this restaurant for lunch, as it's close to our hotel…read moreand had decent reviews. We live in Missouri, where we have both St. Louis and Kansas City BBQ. We love BBQ. The server was polite and checked on us a few times. 1) plate one was beef brisket, potato salad and slaw. The slaw tastes like any ole slaw you'd buy at the grocery store. It was good but nothing special. The potato salad wasn't bad but it didn't have very much flavor. Basically tasted like boiled potatoes and mayo. The brisket was probably 70% fat. Each slice was over half fat. Even the pieces that looked like meat, had the texture and taste of fat. The picture that looks like a full plate, that was after I finished eating. I couldn't punish myself anymore than that. I posted a picture of the empty plate (we boxed up the leftovers to give to my mom's chickens) to show how much fat/grease was leftover. The other pictures show dry plates but that wasn't the case for me. 2) plate two (not pictured as it wasn't my meal) was half a rack of ribs, green beans and French fries. The ribs were tough and lacking in flavor. We are used to fall off the bone ribs. The kind where you can pull a rib and it comes out of the meat clean. We had to use a knife and fork to cut the ribs and then chew on them for what felt like forever. They also came out lukewarm and were cold by the third rib. The green beans also lacked flavor and left quite a bit of fat/grease/butter in the bowl after. The fries were also not seasoned at all. TLDR: nothing was seasoned, the food was lukewarm at best and there was enough fat/grease to clog the arteries of even the healthiest person.

I've been twice now and have had the St. Louis Ribs, Baby Back Ribs, brisket, and pulled chicken. The ribs had no flavor, had pieces of gristle or cartilage in the meat, and had a boiled taste. We asked the server if they seasoned the meat and she was surprised that we didn't taste anything. The chicken was better. Dry of course but had that clear smoky flavor I was hoping everything would have. The brisket was probably the worst brisket I've ever had. While it looked okay, it was bland and flavorless and was totally dry while at the same time pooling in grease (or the water it must have been boiled in). See photo. The sides were all fine. Fried okra, Mac and cheese, and slaw. And I loved the table side barbecue sauce! But even a bath of that couldn't save the meat. I really want to return to support the staff at Smok N Bonz, but I just can't keep going to a barbecue place where I can't eat the meat.

There are also stalls on the back side of the building. There is one ordering sign between each pair of stalls, so you make sure you are on the correct side if you do not have passenger. The menu is pretty extensive. There are several burger options along with hot dogs and chicken sandwiches. The prices are very good, especially for the baskets which include fries. Oh, and they only take cash so make sure you stop at the ATM before you drop by. When you are ready to order, push the green button. The server answered immediately and read back out order afterwards. Our food came out in about ten minutes. It was served in a bag with lots of ketchup packets as well as some salt packets. There was only one carhop and she was quite busy but greeted us with a smile and made sure we had all we needed. Unfortunately, both burgers were average at best. The double cheeseburger had two thin meat patties which had little to no taste. The veggies were fresh and crisp and the bun was fresh and soft, but the meat simply did not add anything to the sandwich. The Carl's Fat burger was no different. The meat patty was thicker but really did not have much taste. The curly fries and regular fries were pretty good. Both were hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. While they were certainly busy and seem to have a large local following, the burgers were a disappointment. This would be a place to stop for fries, and the milkshakes sounded delicious.

The extra 1/2 star is because they have turnip greens and many places don't. That said, it's more the processed greens than the homemade kind that is thicker and more flavorful. The brisket was mostly good. A little dry and too much fat though. I prefer juicer, lean cuts. This had some nice meaty pieces. But, just didn't completely hit the mark on taste. Overall: I'd come back. It's a good location right in the middle of downtown Loudon. Good vibe and quick service.

I wish we would have listened to my grandson and went to the Burger King. We arrived a little late as we had been traveling so it was 25min until 8:00pm which is closing time. This restaurant is trying to copy the big brand chain BBQ restaurants and no longer have a waiter come to your table you order I call it concession stand style at the door basically. We were greeted by a girl who kept looking at us like we were a burden for coming in 25min before closing. While we were trying to look at the menu which is on the wall behind the counter employees in the kitchen kept looking out the window as if we were taking too long to order. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich my wife,mother in-law,and grandson ordered a baked potato. We also ordered three fountain drinks and my wife ordered a draft beer.For a very small pulled pork sandwich, three baked potatoes,three fountain drinks, and two beers our bill was $74.67. This is one of those restaurants that charge you a Tip prior to receiving any service so my added tip was $10.00 for them to bring the food to our table and let us know that if any of us was drinking tea that they were pouring it out because it was 10 minutes till closing. I guess when you get out of your car at a BBQ restaurant and don't smell smoke or BBQ that's a good sign to leave. Pulled pork =BLA no smoke flavor I believe it was crockpot pork.Potatoes hard half cold half boiling hot just like microwave potatoes. If this wasn't in such a small town there is no doubt it would not be in business! Take my advice. Do not waste your time or money here. Go to Burger King. The food was so bad and the portions so small I didn't bother taking any pictures. PS: My wife ask the manager why such a change and of course we got the old worn out excuse.(IT's BECAUSE OF COVID) breaking news. That was 6yrs ago!
