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 have a bone to pick with Smok N Bonz. I really loved the waitresses as they were friendly and…read moreattentive. However I just did not like the food. 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.

We ordered on the phone and our food was ready 15 mins later. Nice and easy. We got their rib plate and the pulled pork sandwich. Both were delicious. The ribs were fall of the bone tender. The flavors were great with their dry rub on it and the meat itself had its juices sealed in. The pulled pork was smother with their bbq sauce which was slightly sweet but then got a little spicy the longer you ate it. The plate also came with two sides, we chose the fried okra and the potato salad. The okra was nice and crunchy and good. I didn't personally try the potato salad, it's not my thing but my husband really liked it. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants good bbq.

I saw Big Daddy's BBQ and decided to try their ribs. SO GLAD I DID. These ribs were fantastic. The BBQ sauce was a thin, sweet sauce. It was delicious, although the ribs didn't need it. The ribs were smoked to perfection and the meat just fell off the bone. Best ribs I've had in East Tennessee. I was told their "wings" are phenomenal also. I will definitely try them next time. They are a food truck and are at different events and locations throughout the year so I suggest you follow them on Facebook to see where they are going to be next.
