Smokey Bones Signature Baby Back Ribs
Francheshka O.

First time at this place -- I ordered takeout thanks to a promo I received by email, and it did not disappoint. We got the smoky ribs with loaded mashed potatoes and mac and cheese -- everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were huge, and the flavors were truly unique. We also tried the smoked wings, and the mango habanero ones were amazing -- not too spicy -- and the chipotle BBQ sauce added the perfect final touch. The manager was very kind and helped us apply a discount we had, and the takeout staff was super friendly and helpful.

Soon after landing in Georgia, we wanted to set off in search of some of that famed "Southern hospitality." That journey wasn't a lengthy one as we soon had the good fortune of meeting Adrienne at "Smokey Bones" in Columbus. She immediately greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel right at home! We decided to go "all in" on our "all rib" entrees and enjoyed both their "Signature House Smoked Ribs" and their "Imported Baby Back Ribs." While the deliciousness of their ribs was of no surprise, the quality of their sides was and the "Mashed Potato and Gravy" and the "BBQ Baked Beans" were good enough to emerge from the shadow of their entrée counterparts and forge their individual paths. I have to admit that I felt excitedly like we were being admitted to an exclusive Southern fraternity/sorority when Adrienne mentioned that she'd be bringing a "bone bag" to accompany our meals. I (eventually) figured out that she was bringing us a paper bag...for us to put our bones into...when we were finished with them. (It's ok if you feel the need to read that a few times over to get the gist. That just means that you and I could then start that exclusive fraternity/sorority that I mistakenly thought already existed! ‍) While enjoying some BBQ in the South was something I had always aspired to experience, I also had my first taste of "Sweet Tea" and it was everything that I had hoped for. Sweet and flavorful, but without being ridiculously amped up with cups full of sugar. It was "tastefully done" just as I had imagined! Thanks Adrienne and "Smokey Bones" for welcoming us to the South! And that's...Henry's Take. #southernbbq #smokeybones

Ed's Bar-Be- Que has always been the place my family goes to dor many years. Ed's a great person in…read moreour community and has deep roots of perfection here in town to include his family. Ed's treats his customers with love regularly and is very genuine, naturally. The food is always the best and his staff shows their love through the food made and served. You can't go wrong here people. You get what you pay for and Ed guarantees youll love your meal or hell make it right. Ed, you keep on shining and keep your blessing pouring out to our community. God bless you the family and your loving staff. God is Able !!

What a prized gem to stop upon once we crossed into Alabama. The line was to the door of this…read morecafeteria style cafe which is typically a good indicator of a tasty meal. We noticed some folks sitting on the bench by the line and learned they were waiting for "dressing" which they recommended we try. We ordered two ribs plates and one baked chicken plate, dressing, collards, yams, and butter beans. Since they had sold out of cornbread we defaulted to a white dinner roll. Then onto the homemade lemonade and sweet tea. Service was great! Authentic and warm to the first time customers, they obviously had regulars who were greeted lovingly by name. All the line servers answered my questions and patiently waited for our selections. We even met "Little Ed" son of the restaurant's namesake, who was so kind! The food delivered nicely spiced ribs, tender, fall-off-the-bone baked chicken and tender collard greens. The prized jewel of Ed's for us was the dressing - wow, just delicious! I mixed mine up with the butter beans for a small protein twist. We were so satisfied that we brought home the yams for a treat later. Summary: The people are friendly and the food is the definition of comfort. Stop by for the experience and don't forget to close the bathroom hallway door- lol, a nod to our youngest son aka rule follower.
