Cheeseburger
Cole G.

When I first the restaurant, the vibe was absolutely very traditional. It had cool history props and bobble heads in the restaurant. It's a place of history, I'll give it that. The service was amazing, I was seated and the lady took my order ASAP. The food was amazing, the burger was so juicy. It tasted like an unseasoned steak. It was so juicy, I almost had to move my caboosey and start dancing. But I didn't, it's a great place and I can't wait to see how the one in Saline compares. Keep it up foodie fam.

Very good place kind of in the middle of nowhere. Not your average rib tips. These things are basically fatty ribs. Collard greens have pork in them and are some of the best around. We've been going out of our way to come here since it's about 45 minute drive but worth it. Got to sit in the patio today!!! Server was spectacular!

The goblet

We started with the hush puppies with honey butter, which we really enjoyed. I had the goblet which was just okay. I ate it but didn't love it, I would try something new next time. The Mac n cheese was very good and my boyfriend liked what he got. The atmosphere was very cute and the staff was very friendly. We will most likely return.

BBQ is what Bone Heads does best and my meal was definitely on point! I ordered the Texas Brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries (there's an upcharge for these) and it was very satisfying. Tender brisket topped with coleslaw, crispy onion straws, and bbq sauce on top of two thick pieces of toasted bread. The mixture of flavors was heavenly and the brisket was tender! I also recommend the sweet potato fries with the lightly flavored horseradish sauce - a perfect combo! This meal was so good I was wanting to go back for the same the next day! As far as atmosphere, Bone Heads is definitely a family dining establishment and it's the decor is little outdated. It maybe part of the atmosphere there are striving for it just wanted to let you know. It's definitely not a hip place and may not make the best impression for a first date. I will definitely go back here and recommend you go too if in the area.

I had the smoked sausage. It was really good. My girlfriend had the clam chowder and said it was luke warm and not very good.

Really cool building. Very historic. Felt authentic. The service was good. I ordered the burger. It was just ok for me. I should have ordered what my buddy did the fried chicken gravy and mashed potatoes. He gave me a bite it was perfectly cooked.

Smothered Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese!

Second times a charm... I went to this place about a month ago for the first time and if I was to review it then, It would be totally different reviews. I wanted to give this restaurant a chance to change my mind and they did. Now, this place has been here for years but just like the rest of the paranormal activity believers, I was too skeptical to enter the place. I mean it's rated on the most haunted places in Michigan list and I'd rather NOT be greeted in the restroom, by beloved dear aunt Sally, circa 1973 while I'm trying to do my business. On to the food..I ordered the fried chicken, garlic mash and chicken tortilla soup and a side of Mac and cheese. The fried chicken had gravy and so did the mash. The flavors are superb, chicken extra crispy even underneath the gravy but still super most and cooked to perfection. The garlic mash wasn't over garlicky, perfect taste and consistency with the gravy. The Mac and cheese was just okay in the flavor department but the noodles were cooked great and the cheese sauce with sprinkles of shredded cheese on top gave it a bit of a home cooked flair. THE SOUP... best part of the meal, so many veggies so much soul and flavor I drank the juice. Five stars for me.... Yes yes yes will return!!!

Brisket, collard greens and baked beans.

Best thing about this place was the locals great outdoor dining snd awesome interior decor. Food was good, not great. A few thing wrong. The brisket l had too much bark (a bit charred) and I personally don't like when the meat automatically comes with sauce. I want to taste the meat. Beans were good and the collar greens were great. Wish there was honey butter for the cornbread. #spicemeister moderately approved.

For atmosphere, this place has it, hands down! I couldn't get enough of all the ambiance, from furniture and decor to the appearing-authentic walls, banister, ceilings and lights. The menu made it challenging to pick a meal, no doubt! The pictures and smells led me to believe I couldn't go wrong. Still I struggled over the Broasted Chicken or the Texas Barbeque Ruben. ... did I mention the ice tea is actually sweetened? Yay & yum! ... I decided to get the Texas sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. Oh my word, the sandwich sent me to another world. The blend of coleslaw and bbq brisket brought my senses so much pleasure. And the Sweet Potato Fries had a horseradish dip, making that a perfect blend as well. Bonehead's has a beautiful way of bringing delicious flavors together. Added the bread pudding to top off the meal. While it was delicious, I would have preferred it warmed.

Decidedly not bad. I would have preferred if the meat had arrived at the table without barbecue sauce on it, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. I had pulled pork with green beans and baked beans. Both sides were tasty. The meat didn't have much smoke flavor, but it was tender and tasty. Hubby has brisket which I can report was also tasty, probably a bit better than my pulled pork. The place was slammed, but hey -- it was Saturday night. The waitresses hustled like nobody's business, trying to take care of everyone. All in all, I would return.

Pig wings - AMAZING!!

When we first walked in, we were definitely a little confused. There's a small bar area right at…read morethe entrance, so at first we thought that was the entire seating area. But if you keep walking, it opens up into another section with booths. It honestly looks like an employees-only area at first, so we weren't sure if we were supposed to go back there There's also a side entrance that leads directly into that dining area, which makes a lot more sense once you figure out the layout. The place looks a little worn down, but honestly, it adds to the charm and gives it that classic local spot feel. I ordered the burger, onion rings, and cheddar jalapeño poppers, and everything was really good. Bonus points for serving Pepsi products! Always a win for me! The guy working was also incredibly friendly and was somehow managing both cooking and serving. He immediately noticed how confused we looked walking in and kindly pointed us toward the seating area in the back. Great food and genuinely welcoming service. Also, I want to note that their kids meals were only like $3.75....this is perfect because my kids never eat their food!!

I just had lunch there a couple of days ago. The place hasn't changed in the last 40 years or so…read more If I had never been there before and walked through what my buddy and I call the chute, I probably would have walked out the back door. I had the quarter pounder with cheese, an order of onion rings, and in order of mushrooms. Service was fast and polite. The burger was good, as always. Onion rings are great and the mushrooms. We're okay. Don't let the ambiance scare you away. The food has been good as long as I've been coming here.
