I came here about 3 weeks ago and the evening was a disaster. After waiting nearly 1.5 hours for my food, they brought me the wrong entree and they also gave me the wrong entree for a to go order. But, I had a coupon a d decided to go back and give Smokey Bones a chance to redeem itself. (I've been a long-time customer. ) Tonight, Smokey Bones didn't disappoint. When I came in, I wasn't expecting much since their hostess (the one with dyed blond hair) said absolutely nothing to me. She didn't smile or even look up. But I was seated in David's section. He greeted me and was so pleasant and professional. He is truly a star employee for Smokey Bones. He took my order (and everything was correct) and came back to my table several times to check on me. SUPERB SERVICE! Kudos to David. Ask for him if you stop by. read more

I had actually ordered from here Thursday night as it was spring break and I was at a sleepover about to go to the beach the next day. I got the 6 piece lemon pepper wings and this was the only thing i had eaten that day so I was starving. The wings were very dry and the next day when i woke up for the beach I had gotten food poisoning and was vomiting them right back up.. This ruined my beach trip and I felt sick the whole time. Never getting this again. read more

This place used to be one of my favorites. Not anymore. Last visit the food was not prepared as order. Way over cooked. Ordered medium rare, was served something a little over well. The beverages were unpalatable even after requesting the be replaced. Service was slow, server seemed over loaded. Not their fault, still the restaurant must have enough staff on the schedule to cover the crowd. Not in a hurry to go back. read more

Food is good my fav is chili brisket but today I am disappointed I order the bowl and I had just as much as a cup full in here read more

I ordered grilled salmon with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The server was sweet and helpful with questions about the menu. We had to do something quick for a birthday, so we picked a good place. read more

Our food was delicious and came to us pretty quick. Brey'anna was a great waiter and her service was excellent. I definitely will be returning again. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and didn't rush us. She checked on us throughout the visit. I get her and the restaurant a 10 out of 10. read more

Charlotte and the host were wonderful. Enjoyed being there. Food was great, service was nice. Will be going back.

Adrienne was our waitress, and she was extremely kind and helpful. She was patient because this was our first time ever visiting this restaurant. We thank you Adrienne , and we will truly visit again. This restaurant is highly recommended to our friends and family. read more

Great food! I really enjoyed my food and service was excellent, would definitely dine here again. Tam was a great server!

Great service from the start! Got there for lunch on Sunday, moderately busy, Therisa was our server, she was awesome from the moment we sat down. She is courteous, professional, knowledgeable and had a very friendly positive vibe. She knew all the specials, made great suggestions and was very prompt with checking in and refilling the drinks without asking. I was with my son who is very shy. And when dessert time, he was hoping for just chocolate ice cream, which the didn't have, but Therisa made the suggestion of vanilla with lots of chocolate syrup. She even made him feel at ease by sharing a story her childhood and wanting ice cream at a buffet. If it were only for the service I would give easily 5 stars because Therisa made it great! But the food was really good too! The cornbread was so good that my son, who doesn't like corn bread ate half the plate easily, add on the vanilla pudding I had and it is definitely another 5 stars! I wish I could give 10 stars! Therisa, if you read this, thank you from my son and I. We appreciate you and your kindness. read more

I've been here twice and both times the waitress seem to socialize more than care about their tables. I witnessed our waitress come out of the bathroom without washing her hands. If it wasn't for the cooks and the food I would never visit this location again. read more

I went out to eat here on a Friday around 4 pm and there was NOBODY there! I loved it! We got to pick our booth and everything. As soon as we were seated our Waitress Whitney came right over and took our orders. She had so many great suggestions for everything! I love when waiters/waitresses know their menu's. It makes it a lot easier for customers to try new things. One of the drinks she suggested was the Blushing strawberry Sangria.!!!! and OMG, Whitney if you are reading this Thank you! I so appreciate you! lol This had to be one of the best drinks I've ever tasted. I love fruity drinks and it was delicious... It wasn't a strong drink but it will give you a little buzz. (I had to get 2 to get a buzz) I ordered the smoked wings tossed in the brown sugar glaze and they were bangin! I normally don't suck the bone when I eat wings, but dammit I was thinking about it that day! Overall the experience was excellent, the only thing I can say that wasn't so good was the booth it self.. It wasn't the cleanest, but that's an easy fix. read more

They have my favorite wings! Smoked Wings! The Korean Pork Belly Pops were delicious. Get them before they are gone!

I bought $57 worth of food that the quality was worth barely $10. I ordered two 2/3 worth of ribs(one was baby back with brown sweet glaze & the other St.Louis original flavor). When I arrived to pick up my order, I was met by a friendly worker. I made sure to check my bag to then realize I was cheated out of food. The ribs were 1/3 rack clearly and they placed them on top of each other in the to go plate. I must say, I think it does not make sense to mix ribs together when I ordered 2 differ types of 2 different flavors. I genuinely wanted to try them out separately yet had no clue which was which.Then left out one whole item I ordered (big macNcheese). I go inside and the waitresses are huddled up with one huge party in the front. One looks at me while continues to just stand to the side and listen on to the other 2 girls that were dealing with the party leaving me to wait for service. Eventually one of the other I explained how my order was messed up. She goes to the back for a while (about a good 10mins) then brings out a new bag with a now one to go platter of the right amount of ribs. Note: I ordered 2 types of ribs that I paid 2/3 worth. At this point I don't even want to keep pressing the issue. I get home to discover the ribs are over cooked, the mashed potatoes bland and Mac n cheese that I fought for not even cheesy. More like just wet noodles with zero flavor.I'm very disappointed with the food I received. This was my first time there and I did not feel valued. I believe just because I order out should not mean that I receive food made of low quality. Purchase date 3/20/21. read more

Smoked and traditional wings were goooddd. Teriyaki sauce is amazing. Buffalo garlic, just right. Customer service was excellent. Brunswick stew had a little sweet hint to it, but I'd ordered it again. Def will return!!! read more

I order a burger medium temp. The burger came well done and some char! I'm very disappointed I feel they have tons of potential if the cook would follow the guest request. The smoke chicken was also dry. I gave them another shot and this time instead of the brisket loaded potato I was served pulled pork and a bowl of chilly juice with NO meat. The service is senseless. There's no way I'll ever get a 5 star service from this place. read more

Never had a meal here that was less than delish and never had service that was less than amazing! Been 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Most recent excellent server was GARRETT! read more

Open late. Even though it wasn't busy at 11:30pm, the wings were phenomenal and the bartender friendly. The smoked wings were a great mix of dry rub crispy drizzled with a slightly sweet and tangy glaze. Very meaty wings. read more

This food was amazing. I got my food and it put a huge smile on my face. Words couldn't even express how happy I felt at that moment. I also had a dessert and it was out of this world.

Terrible experience. My son ordered jumbo wings and he recieved the smallest wings I've ever seen. The lettuce on my other son's burger and salad were wilted. My smoked turkey was dried out. The restaurant was so cold we were all miserable. read more

I have been to this restaurant 3 times this week and ate a different entree each time. Each visit has been absolutely amazing!! The food quality is exquisite, the service is impeccable, and the whole facility is warm and welcoming! I absolutely love the pretzel bones with the nice warm cheese! The freshly fried pickles, and the corn bread with the honey pecan butter!! I would recommend getting the Texas Style Beef brisket platter, Brisket stuffed grilled cheese, or my personal favorite... the Smoke house Mac and cheese with Brisket! They are all amazing and all leave me very satisfied!! Also the hot bag o' donuts are to die for!! They come with raspberry and chocolate to dip in and they are a most have!! Thank you for being such an amazing server Bailey!!! I can not wait to eat here again!! read more

I will not come back here again even though I hear the food is pretty good-from what I hear. The reason I am giving this place such a low rating is because my friends and I went there for a pre-movie drink so we just went up to the bar. The bartender though didn't even notice us for the almost ten minutes and we ordered two beers and a cocktail. My buddy got a refill on his whiskey and coke since he finished first but my other friend and I finished our beers and had time for another but due to the bartender's inattention I didn't get one before our movie showtime. Thanks Smokey Bones, really glad I didn't even consider coming before and now I never will again. read more

The food was bland and I ordered 3 meats smoked sausage, pulled chicken and smoked wings. They gave me two links they didn't even cut them up and they taste like hillshire farm smoked sausage which I hate. The pulled chicken was bland and dry. read more

As I sit here, one seat from the corner of the bar, I wonder if the bartender quit. I'm playing with the many possibilities in that scenario. Was a fellow employee harassing her? Maybe her boss took a que from Chickie and Pete's in Philly and pocketed her tips. Maybe something, anything, worthwhile was preventing her from serving me, the patron. Nope, she's just bsing in the back. Me? I'll stay hungry, thirsty, ignored until she returns. As for the actual food, my wings were very tasty, just wish the water I asked for ever showed up. The beer I want refilled sat too. To me, service is paramount to the meall, this restaurant failed miserably in this regard. No wonder its mostly empty. read more

I came here during a business trip. It is a decent place with reasonable food. I would say it meets my expectation for a casual bbq place. The waitress we got is quite friendly and attentive. I was impressed by the ordering gadget on each table. I ordered wings and baby-back ribs. I had steamed broccoli and sweet potato fries as my sides. The flavors for both wings and ribs are too sweet for my taste and I would say the ribs are not as tender/juicy as I would like them to. But I still managed to eat more than half of the half-rack I ordered. A warning, if you do not plan to bring left overs, 1/3 rack is more than enough if you are not a huge eater. I noticed that a side of broccoli is three pieces of broccoli and a side of fries will cover your entire plate. Just be mindful if you would rather have more greens. read more

0 STARS!! HORRIBLE!!!! Waited over 45 minutes for our food. My child's food came out 10 minutes before everyone else's, so he's eating alone at this point. Asked MULTIPLE TIMES for no pork on my loaded fries, the server brings out fries with BACON.....TWICE!!! After sending it back to the kitchen....did she not SEE the bacon as she's bringing it back to our table??? I ordered wings...the flavor was NOT what I asked for!!! I don't understand how so many things were wrong! Waitress (wish I had a name) - did not care what so ever!!! Wasn't attentive at all. Rude, rushing us...without a care in the world! We will NOT be back. read more

Had the basic burger and corn which were both as advertised. Nothing outstanding, but also not bad. Beware of the electronic games available on the table. They charged $2 to play. Must of been in the fine print. read more

Came into the restaurant, it took us 25 mins to get our drinks. The server ignored our table for half that time. The hostess was unfriendly, the atmosphere was very dull, and the waiters looked unhappy. It was a Monday night and the restaurant wasn't packed at all. Terrible customer service read more

This food was terrible! If you go to a bbq restaurant, shouldn't the bbq taste like bbq? Our food has no smoked flavor at all. My husband and I shared a combo meal of ribs, chicken, and pulled pork baked beans mashed potato's and bread. The meat was bland, and the potato's tasted like box mashed potato's. All three kids had burgers and fries, which they said were ok. We ordered three drinks and two waters and it was 91 dollars. None of us finished our food, and none of us took Togo boxes. Like I said terrible. Never eating there again. I don't don't even know how this place has been in business so long. read more

I went to Smokey Bones with my husband and his aunt the day before his graduation last August. It was between Smokey Bones or B-Dubbs - the battle to decide between the two was intense! His aunt wanted to eat some "southern cookin'" so that's how we ended up here. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious!!! The day I went there was the day I fell IN LOVE with cornbread. It's been a while, but I remember our waitress being super friendly and her service was great. Love, love, love this place! I wish there was one where I live, but sadly there isn't. *whomp, whomp, whom* I will definitely be going again if I ever find myself around that area. read more

Everything was fantastic! Drinks were great! Food was good, but it was freezing inside.

Service is decent but Un reliable to if they are going to be open and closed at the ACTUAL closing time it's been several times I've called to make sure they were open and taking orders then get there and someone says they're no longer open and the closing time magically changes according to the bartender. And I'm truthfully fed up and they will no longer be receiving my business which is sad to say because i always look forward to one particular sever and i always take care of her. read more
