This is my first time eating from Smokey Bones delivered by Uber Eats; unfortunately it will be my last. We ordered Full Slab of Baby Back Ribs with the BBQ Baked Beans, Fries. Also a 1/2lb Burger and Smoked Wings. I'm a tough BBQ critic because... well... I LIVE FOR IT! The ribs were tender and came off the bone. The rub was present, but not bold enough and the smoke I was looking for ABSENT. I did get some smoke from the wings and those were delicious. Skimp on the glaze but that's alright! The burger was alright it didn't seem like a half pound burger and the chipotle mayo... you could barely taste it. It's nothing to write home about. Overall... it was basic and just OK. Only thing that was worth it... was the wings. My family was not impressed. Sorry! ‍ read more

Most of the time I normally will sit at the bar with my childhood friends and we'll watch the game and just chop it up. Service is good and the smoked wings are amazing I normally get the honey hot and brown sugar flavors with blue cheese. I just tried the skillet cornbread with the pecan butter my goodness that thing was great lol. read more

Awesome. Great food, nice ambience, very pleasant server. I enjoyed pulled pork with baked beans--delicious. My wife ordered barbecued turkey with mashed potatoes and liked it very much. Fried pickles were above average. We had a great time and look forward to going back! read more

Tried Smokey Bones for the first time and it was great! We felt very welcomed! Our server Nishawn helped my sister and I choose what to eat and what he recommended was perfect. The food and drinks were brought out quickly. Everything we had was well seasoned. The drinks were hittin'. We will definitely be back, especially if Shawn is our server. -Kayla & Lane read more

I ordered the double trouble ribs, side salad, mac & cheese with garlic bread. "Called a tempting twosome", in the menu description. So i took that description to suggest its a meal for two. I also ordered a gallon tea freshly brewed which was 1/3rd % missing upon deliver, the entire mac & cheese received was less than a 1/2 cup portion, garlic bread never received, & side salad had no salad dressing. I specifically asked for 2 blue cheese and to call if any item wasn't available. Also no napkins or Utensils delivered. The worst part was that i called to verify gallons of tea was 1/3 missing and was that a normal thing for delivery orders. And the receiver could not provide reasoning. So I asked for the manager, who never came to the phone which hung up after 5 minutes on hold. Called back several more time and got no answer phone just rung off the hook. Meal was $44+ The 1 star was for the great tasing food, -4 stars was for the experience. Never again will I order delivery. But I would consider dining or order in. read more

Came to Smokey bones to grab a bite before starting my night . I should've known better because the place was empty , but sat down anyways. We were greeted by a bartender , who was very rude . She was aggressive & did not treat us as we were paying customers. One of the people with me was not aware of how a certain drink worked , she was very nasty about it . The manager Micho , allowed this behavior & in turn was also very rude . This restaurant also offers all you can eat wings, but if you decided to share they would charge anyone you shared with the price for all you can eat wings . In addition to, I ordered a burger & they did not have all of the topping options offered on the menu. I asked for my burger to be medium, they brought me a well done dry burger . I used to enjoy Smokey bones , but this experience was horrible especially as a paying customer . read more

Solid location but the customer service here could use a smidge of improvement. Very spacious, no issues parking and a great location for group gatherings for viewing of sporting events. When I arrived, there was a moderate amount of patrons but my weight time to be seated seemed excessive. Popped in the ladies room to wash my hands and saw an employee in there taking her work selfies and who'd have thunk it....she ended up being my server #luckyme She seemed concerned with doing the least but enough so that she didn't earn the wrath of the manager who was scurrying around to the various tables attempting to make diners comfortable. The food was ok but took some time from ordering to delivery. I would be willing to give them another try. read more

If I could leave no stars I would. Waited 20 min for water. And no joke 2 hours for food. Veteran's Day service was a disgrace. It's been years since I've been to this establishment and I'll never return. Thank you to all Veteran's for your service. In the future please avoid this place. read more

Food and service was great! DO NOT pay your bill on the website with the QR code on your check. The bank will take your money and then the manager will try to get you to pay again because their system has issues. Just pay the server with the your card. read more

If wings are on the menu, I'm willing to give it a try. I worked late and didn't feel like cooking so we stopped by Smokey Bones to get dinner. There was a short wait, about 10-15 minutes. Once seated, the server was very attentive taking our drink orders and making menu recommendations. I got the wings, of course, and hubs got the ribs and nachos, for appetizer. The smoked wings were good; nicely cooked, nicely sized with great flavor. The NACHOS!!! The portion was huge. Hubs ended up taking the ribs home and ate the nachos. read more

Sooo... I don't know if I'm using grub hub again and yest it was partly smokey bones part as well. I ordered a rack of ribs through grub hub from.smokwy bones. They took the payment immediately. So I get up to smokey bones and tell them who I am. The order pick up person tells me that they are sorry they dint have anymore ribs. So I ask are you going to refund my money. They told me to call grub hub to get a refund. They also mentioned to tell them that smokey bones does have any more ribs and tske it off the options. I just looked. I heard the employees tell other customers who ordered ribs the same.thing. I called grub hub and let them know what happened. They canceled my order and said is get a refund in 24 to 48 hours. My thing is it's not my job to tell grub hub an establishment does not have an item and why wouldn't the establishment contact thwir contractor themselves? So yeah thst annoyed me because I sat around for 39 mins waiting for the order to get dine when it said it was ready for pick up, I'm greeted with that outcome. Had to go find something else to eat at 19pm on a Sunday night. read more

Visited Smokey Bones in Bowie. Our waiter, Geo, provided excellent service. The food was good also.

Wings are off the chain And the service is great. The staff are very accommodating. I had my 60th birthday party their over 15 yes and they were very pleased with all of the meals that they received I highly recommend Smokey Bones read more

Never had an opportunity to order. Lauren decided to take an order for the customers at a table who just sat down instead of our table that was sitting for over 20 minutes. Even after being told by another waiter who was not a waiter at all but in fact, the bartender, did an excellent service to his customers than Lauren who still NEVER acknowledged our existence in the restaurant when we were about to leave and when leaving. Will not be back to that one. read more

Came here for veteran day meal first i was standing at the door waiting for hostess for 10 mins noone showed to assign me a table. So I decided to just go sit at the bar. I was sitting at the bar for 20 min before anyone came to even ask me anything and I had to almost force the bartender to give me a water. This was my first time eating here and i am very disappointed in the quality and level of service being provided read more

In recent Months I have come back, mainly because my wife enjoys the brisket. Admittedly SB can do some very good bbq. It's always been the service that's been a major disappointment. Somethings changed for the better in recent months. Take out service is very good. They repeat your order back and check your order before sending me my way. Someone heard the many cries of the suffering carry out piece that's actually pretty lucrative here. I'm glad to see some change for the better as well pretty consistent too. Great work guys! read more

Sat afternoon; good crowd; good food; excellent service. Ayo waited on us and was super nice and efficient!!

The hostess say us right away, but we did not see a server for at least 15 minutes before she took our full order. When the appetizer arrived, the food runner dropped the sauce all over the floor, our feet and lower legs. When the food arrived it was cold and we did not get any BBQ sauce until we were finished what we ate of our food. No refills were brought to our kids and the other refills came after being asked and we were completely done eating. Never once did the manager come around the sparcely filled dining area. When confronted about the sauce being spilled, he claimed to not have been told. Having worked in the restaurant business, I find all of these aspects of our dining experience horrible and inexcusable. I would never recommend this restaurant nor will we be returning. read more

Food was delicious and definitely hit my BBQ craving for the day. Our server Brayan was the sweetest and very helpful with our selections and any questions we had. read more

This place has gone downhill. It's hard to find good ribs but every once in a while when you want them, you want good ones. Sometimes Smokey Bones is good (not great) and the other night, I got a dry nasty slab of ribs. It was clear they were old/leftover or something. It was just nasty- like they just slapped new sauce on some old dry overcooked ribs. When you spend money (whether it's takeout or in-house dining), the restaurant should give a darn about the quality of what they are passing on to a customer. I should have driven down there and demanded a refund, but I ordered through Door Dash because I could not go and dine-in that particular evening. Waste of money and time. I will never order from there again. read more

The loaded fries are great and so are the wings except at times depending on the chef they forget to remove the feathers with large wings order like 56 or more . Overall I am satisfied with the food and service except last order they get me a duplication of one flavor and when I returned to get compensated with a replacement order, I received a little smaller size wings than normal and the pretzels lookEd like it died and went to HELL and burnt . When I talked to Simone about my concerns , he walked right away. So disrespectful but what else can you expect from a bowie restaurant on a Friday night . ‍‍‍‍‍‍ I will give it another try, hope fully it will be better next time . Keeping hope alive !!!!!!! read more

Placed an order for pickup...arrived an hour after the order was supposed to be ready. First the receptionist flat out lied and said the order was out for delivery. I showed her the app saying that "it was ready for pickup" and she said "let me get the manager." I followed her after a few minutes to where the manager was and ONLY then were they actually making my order. I demanded my money back. Manager obliged but the whole thing was a farce. They never prepared my order, They lied about the it being out for delivery and generally wasted my time. Typical Bowie establishment with a mostly Black clientele--expect all types of sub-par if not outright dishonest service. We deserve and demand better from this company...we pay good money and are members of a community that read more

Unorganized establishment. If you have a large order, make sure to double and TRIPLE check your order. Multiple items were missing from our order. When we inquired about it, we were met with unpleasant customer service, like we were trying to get free food! Also, they should have a warning for desserts when you order online. Paid $8 for a cookie skillet dessert just to receive a basic cookie with a child's size scoop of ice cream. read more

My son and I stopped in for some wings. We had the smoked wings And were pleased. The wings were great but were a little too soaked with the sauce. The flavor was excellent. I mentioned I wanted to be seated in a section with a good server. They sat us in Amanda section and we were definitely satisfied. I'll be back. read more

Do not go to this restaurant. It's dirty the food is not good and the service is less than standard. You have been warned.

Did a to go order online and picked up at the restaurant. The food was not ready upon the time of pick up, and once I made it almost home I discovered my appetizer was missing. I had to return to the restaurant to pick it up. Once I returned home I discovered the loaded nachos was dried and stale. The beans tasted like can pork and beans. The hamburger was well done when requested to be medium well. I was extremely disappointed. Absolutely the worse experience and I won't be returning. read more

2.5 stars y'all. Alright, Friday night, dinner with the male parental. We decided on this place. Located right across the street from the Bowie Town Center, in the same area of the movie theater. It is in between the Jerry's and the Fridays. Considering the location, the time, and the day, I suppose I was expecting it to be more crowded. The service was moderate. She was attentive, but I think she may have missed a bit. I requested things that she just blame forgot. They were little things, but that at times irks me. Just listen, doh! The food was alright, I tried the spinach salad with the honey grilled salmon. I think it is a fairly new menu item that is SUPPOSED to be light regarding the whole caloric intake thing. Now it is only light if the dressing is used sparingly, read: not added to the dish. HA! So, I requested that my dressing be placed on the side, because I don't like my spinach drenched and I didn't know if I would actually like the dressing. That didn't quite happen, I believe she thought I was requesting additional dressing, because what came out was soggy spinach and a side of dressing. Sheesh! The salmon was seasoned nicely, the dressing was okay. I'd like to go back to try the other stuff, but I guess when I place my order I have to be crystal clear, super specific, well you get the idea. Ah well. read more

This was my first visit and I wasn't too impressed. The food was great but the restaurant needed maintenance. You had to pump the toilet handle 8 times to be exact to get a half a flush. I look forward and see feces on the wall. At this point I just wanted to leave. There was a woman in the bathroom cleaning a mess up from some sick customer so they do clean but a thorough clean and a little maintenance would be great. read more

This is the 2nd time i came to this establishment and had to wait 45 mins for a TO-GO order i ordered over the phone. Called in at 1:20pm and was advised my food would be ready at 1:45. Got here at 1:45 and had to wait 30 mins to receive my food. Decided to sit at the bar because it was taking so long. When i got my food, everything was cold smh. The bartender gave good service though. Never coming here again read more

I had a great time at smokey bones! Ashley took real good care of me as well as Patrick and Karen. Absolutely recommend 10/10

How hard should it be for a rib joint to produce tender meat? It shouldn't or maybe they should just close their doors. Bought the pulled pork and baby back ribs yesterday. The 1st clue was the pulled pork wasn't. Better name would be chunky pork. The meat on the ribs had to be pried off. The only satisfactory items were the steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. A thoroughly unsatisfying meal. Where's the manager?! UPDATE 05.31.2023: Six days after they stated their desire to make things right and I responded with my contact info... crickets. So does this mean their national brand includes poorly Cooked meat and even worse customer service? It would seem so! read more

We'll definitely go back. read more
