I like this place. It's fairly low-key, which one would expect from a BBQ place. I found the ribs to be very acceptable. The pricing is pretty good too. I ate at the bar top. There is an abundance of TVs. Emily was my server and the bartender. She exudes kindness and servitude! My one critique would be that 1 or 2 of the TVs needs replacing. Green TVs aren't a good look and all the ones I saw were a bit dated. read more

I ordered the $40 bone fire and was highly disappointed. The presentation didn't even look anything like the picture of it on the menu, the food was just mid. The restaurant was practically empty and the service was slow. It is clean inside but overall I was not please with my experience. read more

Smokey Bones Chattanooga - Baby back ribs, Sirloin, Smoked wings, Smoked sausages, Chicken breast, Potato wedges, Grilled peppers&onions. - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Worst service and worst burger I ever ate an food took forever server was rude bc we had a big party

I ordered the Bone Fire. From the website, "A meat lover's dream. Import Baby Back ribs, sirloin, smoked wings, smoked sausage, chicken breast, potato wedges, grilled peppers and onions, all served on our signature Bone Fire Grill." The ribs were tiny. Not sure if the animal was malnutrition or what. The rest of the meat was average at best. I thought this would be a better than average bbq place. The service wasn't all that either. The waitress came to check once and I was like parched to death without the refill of my drink. I will not come back to this joint. read more

We have enjoyed this place since moving to the Hamilton Place area about a year ago. Decent food, decent prices, and close by. We have probably been half a dozen times over the last year. We went one night a few weeks ago and got takeout since they are one of the only places open late. We picked up our food and when we got home, had pretzel sticks instead of a chicken sandwich for one of our meals. Disappointing, but not the end of the world. When we called for a refund they said they would process it. 10 days later it still wasn't credited to our account. When we called back they gave us a hard time and said we couldn't prove it. It was only $20, but still, we didn't receive what we paid for and should be refunded. Now we won't go back out of principle. Disappointing for sure. read more

Came in after travel. Was hungry and tired. No issue with parking which is free. It's off a busy road but accessible. Kacie was my server and she was very sweet and helpful. She walked me through a few menu items and checked on a substitute that I wanted to make. . I was sad as a non beef and pork eater that I could sub chicken for a dish I really wanted to try. I ended up with children and Mac and cheese. It was cool. I enjoyed the meal but waited something a little different. The atmosphere seemed cool, people were friendly. Kacie was really great. I will return and maybe I can convince them to make my item with chicken. read more

Kelsey was a phenomenal server and treated us well. We sat outside and the ambiance was nice. Food was good for a great price.

Nice, new waitress.but food was TERRIBLE! Definitely not the Smokey Bones I'm use to in GA. The brisket was very fatty, and no one could chew it! It also was improperly cut, which contributed to the toughness! read more

I was hesitant due to the reviews. Glad I didn't listen. The food was tasty. I had a side of lemon pepper bone-in wings and the full rack rib dinner with fries and mac. The mac and cheese was great. The ribs were a tad thin but still tasted very good and filled me up. Fries were good. The host and server were friendly and made us laugh. Our waiter even sang impromptu for my sons birthday. Great experience and we will go there again and recommend. read more

Ordered the Briskette plate to go. The meat was literally half fat..fat, not meat. And, had it been meat, it was NOT $30 worth. There are other BBQ choices in the area. I may give SB another chance; however, I suffice it to say, it will be a while. read more

Boy, one of my past favorites has really gone down hill. It's a ghost of what it used to be from food, facilities and service. First food was not that bad, many menu changes but the core is the same. BBQ and sauces all the same. Facilities was changed to more open concept years ago so now it just shows you how empty the place is. The mens restroom smaller so bad you will have a hard time getting your appetite back if you go before you eat. More staff and servers than people inside while I was there and yet the service was terrible. Forgot my order and never put it in, had to come back and ask me again what I wanted. Took forever to get a refill. When I did I got a sweet tea with no ice, warm tea. Asked for ice three times then I see him and guy he's training in back snaking and having a drink. I get up and go to bar for ice. About 5 minutes later he brings me ice. I already had drank my tea and now had ice and no tea. He never came back again until I had went to restroom to wash up. Formerly a regular, not sure I will try again. read more

Make sure you get Destiny when you come here she is awesome she took real good care of me and my fiance

Praise be to God for the lovely service that we received that is fine establishment. We were served with a kind and gracious waitress named Savanna. The experience would not have been the same without her. 10 out of 19 recommend! read more

Food was just just OK, I sat at the bar and had a drink while I waited for my togo order. Bar service was subpar. Bartender spent most of her time chatting with what I guess was either regulars or friends while I sat with an empty drink waiting on her to acknowledge me. read more

My group arrived to Smokey Bones for drinks and bar snacks. My husband and I started off with strawberry margaritas. Somehow when my friend ordered one, it came with all the strawberries from my review. Ours didn't have any. I also ordered a Five Wits American Dream. I was looking for something local and it was a pleasant beer. My husband ordered loaded French fries, but they were seemingly forgotten because the server was able to quickly retrieve them from the back. I ordered the brisket chili to get a little warmup and because of the brisket. I noticed that brisket was in quite a few entrees, so I wanted a little taste and it was great. My friends enjoyed their wings and cocktails as this is their favorite bar. read more

Server was nice. We ordered the brisket platter and butcher's special which was the ny strip. There were three small pieces of brisket. They were fatty and looked like leftover from last night. The ny strip that was supposed to be medium came out very well done. Our server was nice enough to replace it. The second one came out tough and still raw in the middle. If I could give negative star I would. Will not come back again. read more

The wing special is amazing. Ask for Kaycee behind the bar for the best service and drinks in town.

Great barbecue, a wide various of choices on the menu, very helpful staff, a fun ambiance, lots of space .

We are there and it's been a very long time. I wanted the cornbread with pecan butter. It is $8.99 now for four little pieces that taste like jiffy mix. It used to be a large round you could get several slices from. It was way overpriced. Other good was bland. The potato wedges were overcooked and had some type rub I did not like. The corn was super bland. Service was nice it was early. Atmosphere and place were clean. Tables and seats need a good scrubbing. read more

We came here for a Graduation dinner. We waited over 1 hour never to seated. Once someone tried to seat up the pregnant rude manager Alexis came and told us we couldn't sit down. We needed to go wait another 45 minutes to be seated. This is not a location I would recommend as I never tried the food. But the service alone was terrible. read more

Good Food, Good Atmosphere, Higher Prices.... When you walk in the door the host greets you and takes you to your seat. The atmosphere is nice, kind of brightly lit meeting darker hues for some contrast. The staff is friendly and the food is good here. We ordered the 3 person platter for my wife and I and we totally destroyed it in record time. Seemed more like a 2 person serving. It was $50 or $60 of which of these I do it recall, but either way it's a spendy BBQ shop. All in all I would be more of a regular if it wasn't as expensive. So higher prices mean less repeat business... read more

It has been a while since we have been here and we will definitely come back for another meal soon. We love the interior of Smokey Bones but definitely noticed that the cloth of the booths could use a good shampooing. Service was very pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed our food though did notice the potatoes wedges were rather overdone and some things could have been more fresh. *Yelp had a "check-in" lunch promotion with Smokey bones at the time of our visit and both the staff and manager were unaware. Additionally, the manner in which it was handled lacked organization and professionalism. Too much back and forth when the information could have been taken, the promotion honored, and the rest of it taken care of with corporate or upper management later. As easily managed as 1, 2, 3. read more

Smokey Bones Chattanooga - New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This was my first time here and to be honest I don't understand why there are people who go here. Originally I was going to give this two stars, but then I became nauseous shortly after eating. It's not inexpensive but it sure is terrible food. I got the BBQ burger and I didn't realize that they didn't ask how I wanted it cooked until I took the first bite out of it. It was completely overcooked, but you could still tell it was never quality ingredients in the first place. Extremely disappointing considering the high price. They also forgot the fries entirely. I did ask and got them. They were very okay. The slaw is mostly mayo and the fried pickles are mostly fry. My partner got a buffalo chicken sandwich. It was very dry and he put quite a bit of bbq sauce on each bite to get through it. Later he said he felt like he ate a rock. He had broccoli for his side and said it was fine. Its steamed. The prices are high and the food is bad. We will not be back. read more

Smokey Bones Chattanooga - glass of water with ice and a straw - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I'm so pleased that we stopped here! Granted we came just to have a drink after a long day, but the staff was so quick, and so exceptionally friendly! I loved it! I enjoyed a strawberry margarita, and their fresh, homemade donuts, with berry jalapeno and chocolate dipping sauces. I'm not a fan of either chocolate sauce or anything spicy, but let me tell you, I couldn't get enough of the warm and delicious donuts paired with their sauces!! So good!! The only reason I took one star away is because I also ordered a sangria that I was less than impressed with. It was pretty flavorless, and I wasn't able to finish it, but it was dressed pretty! Lol read more

I have been to this place more times than I can count. The last fee times I have not sat at the bar have been terrible. We ordered pretzels and beer cheese today. Absolutely horrible. Pretzels were sitting in grease and the beer cheese was lumpy and has no taste. Didn't eat them. I ordered 8 wings. I ordered them the original way with the dry rub and glaze on them. I got them plain with nothing on them. I managed to eat 3 and those three tasted like crap. The server didn't try to make anything right. Just got me a side of the glaze and dry rub which isn't the same so I didn't use it. Moral of the story. Be careful what you order and sit at the bar because the service staff suck. Yes I will pro s be back but I will be sitting at the bar. You get better service. read more

Smokey Bones Chattanooga - Plain Jane chicken wings - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Let me start off by saying the food was great ! Our bad experience was solely our server. Destiny was extremely careless. The night started off by waiting 10 minutes to even be greeted. It was a little busy so of course we understood. When we were approached it wasn't a hi how are you or anything, it was "what are you drinking, do you want an app". She then proceeded to bring me a Coke Zero instead of a Diet Coke. Pls don't get me started lollll. Anywayssss finally about 30 mins later we finally got our food. Our boneless wings came and sat with no sight of silverware or the our sides. How tragic. About 10 mins later she comes over to drop off some to go boxes and the check... I then say "could we please get some silverware and our sides." "Sure, what were your sides again?" RIIIIIIGHHHHT. The night then ended with her yelling to a large group of people from across the restaurant "hey if you go on google and give me two good reviews I'll give you free donuts" where are my free donuts destiny ?? Im giving you a review right now. Guess I'll have to buy my own anywho. The food was delicious, the service could definitely be better read more

Ate dinner there on 10/5. Kiara was our server. Food and service were excellent and the 2-for-1 brisket dinner deal was fantastic.

Cold meat, and severely undercooked cornbread l!! Maybe it was not the kitchen's fault but the server's. Either way, we sent the food back and requested hot food. A young man who claimed to be the manager came out to bring the food the second time around. Which would have been enough and I probably would not have taken the time for this review. However he had a terrible attitude and said he didn't believe that the food had been cold in the first place. Will not be returning !! Do not recommend!! read more

We came from Atlanta for the weekend and got in later than expected and decided to find somewhere close to the hotel. We tried millers but they were packed so came here. Best accidental discovery ever! The host told us they were understaffed and would have to wait 30 mins but we decided to sit at the bar, both of the girls working were super nice and friendly and took great care of us. We were very impressed. For being short staffed they sure did an amazing job! Food was soooo good and such an amazing price! For 10.99 I got delicious mashed potatoes and gravy and a chicken bbq sandwich with cheese and bacon! I also got deep eddys grapefruit vodka and tonic and it was only 6.99! Definitely check this place out. read more
