This restaurant is part of our eating out rotation. We always feel that we get a good meal and excellent service for a good price. Plus, their rewards and email benefits are good. Our last dinner was a few days ago. We had a hankering for their pulled pork. We both got the platter that comes with two sides. I had the baked beans and fries. My spouse got a baked potato and broccoli. I like their bbq sauces. Everything was really good. I also ordered their Strawberry Dream adult beverage. It was huge and hit the spot. Their service is always great. We've been real lucky during our last several visits and had Mollie care for our table. She is always awesome. She is genuinely friendly and attentive. Since we've lived in Western PA, we've ate here a lot. It has never disappointed. We highly recommend. read more

I'm not against going to a chain restaurant as Cranberry has no shortage of them. But the fact of the matter is, if you're going to streamline your kitchen, your food better be cheap and serviceable. Smokey Bones gets away being overpriced as it's a BBQ joint, but after giving them 2 tries... Never again. Their ribs are serviceable, at best. And probably the safest option from what I've tried here. Their chicken wings come flourished with an array of feathers and the most disgusting coagulated "garlic Parm" sauce. Frankly, they were insulting and gag inducing. Their 'bag of donuts' dessert seemed fun until they arrived as grease soaked and covered in 2 cups of densely packed sugar. Skip this spot and head to the better barbeque joints down the road. read more

I know, I know... 4 stars for an older chain restaurant.. but hear me out. The pleasantness and energy of the staff goes a LONG WAY in making a meal amazing. Plus, their food is actually decent. We usually dine later in the evening, around 9pm. I've learned to tell the server to make sure everything is smoking hot since many places start to close the kitchen around the time we arrive. The ribs for $15 (full rack) were amazing.. meaty, hot, and tender. The stew was interesting but still good. What makes this place shine is the employees' attitudes. Everyone is very nice, even when there is an issue. Staff goes out of their way to be respectful and pleasant. To me, that means A LOT!! read more

I recently had a very disappointing experience at the Smokey Bones in CRANBERRY My order was messed up, and instead of helping resolve the issue, the general manager, Kayla, was extremely rude and argumentative. Her attitude made the situation much worse, and even one of her own employees mentioned that this is not unusual behavior. She repeatedly brought up her 20 years of experience, but unfortunately, that experience didn't translate into good customer service. Great service is what keeps customers coming back, and this location fell short. The Robinson location, on the other hand, has always been excellent and proves how much of a difference good customer service makes. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customers deserve to be treated with respect. read more

Looking for a hearty meal after a day of riding coasters at Kennywood. Our server was friendly and efficient . I Have been to this location before but it had been a few years . I ordered the choose two combo with pulled pork and pulled chicken, two sides ( Mac and baked beans ) and garlic toast ! Husband got the sirloin with baked beans and fries . We both enjoyed our meals, pure comfort and filling read more

This was an all time awful experience. Went here for my niece's birthday, service was the absolute worst. Food came out at snail pace, 45 minutes for a side salad. When the meals came out, they were lukewarm at best and the icing on the cake was being served two pieces of meat that could've been cube steak and was told these were filet medallions. When I questioned it, they insisted it was filet, but then came back and said, no you are right it doesn't look like filet. Not to mention that I ordered it with mushrooms and onions and they weren't even on the steak, when I questioned that the entire plate was wrong, they brought me out two little cups of mushrooms and onions. At that point, I had enough of this lackluster experience and told them to just take it off the bill. It appeared there was only one waitress for all the tables yet there were other staff milling around, joking with each other. We weren't even offered an apology for the absolute garbage experience. It was rumored this location was closing, honestly this one was a bit better than Robinson, but they all need to just throw in the towel. We won't be back again, ever. read more

Had a great experience! Food was delicious and my server, Kate, was on top of it. She gave great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

The service, food and atmosphere has been constantly good over the years but they missed the mark this last stop. They even catered our sons HS graduation 8 years ago. Seating, service and drinks, all good. The food was sub par. My pulled pork was dry and we got the wrong sides. The second batch was better, but still mediocre. There was a strange smell taking over the place, and I saw a couple eating off some little grill at the bar. That alone was enough to kill it for me. Smoke the place out, and others have to deal with it. Sorry Smoky, we're done. read more

We stopped in for an early dinner, and as always enjoyed all we ordered. "Special" - 4# St. Louis full rack Ribs with choice of 4 sides and 2 sodas. Wait for it-$40!! We added the delicious cornbread. The waitress was very attentive too. And we brought home leftovers. It was SO good! Can't wait to return. read more

My colleagues and I were out in cranberry for a business trip and we stopped in and met with Deb who is super energetic nice and welcoming. The food was great and the atmosphere was comfy. We also had pretty big portion sizes. Overall this was a great experience for me. Would recommend. read more

We wanted to try something new so we stopped in here on a Saturday for a late lunch. There weren't many people inside as it was only about 3:20. I ended up ordering the smokey chicken sandwich with their street corn side. The food took forever to come out, but it was hot and fresh when received. The sandwich was okay. The chicken wasn't dry and had nice flavor, but the BBQ sauce that came on it was far too sweet. If I ever got this again I would ask for no sauce and add my own from the selection on the table. My daughter got the mac and cheese and enjoyed it and my partner got the pulled pork sandwich and a baked potato. He said the sandwich was okay, but the potato was a little undercooked. Service was pretty good - and they were short staffed and only had two servers doing everything. So I have to give a good rating for that. All-in-all the food was just average. I probably wouldn't choose to go back as the prices are higher than other BBQ in the area and the quality doesn't really make up for it. read more

I was in the mood for some good barbecue and saw that they had burnt ends on their menu. I am always looking for them, so I had to give them a shot. Their menu is quite large. I went with the burnt ends as an appetizer. Most of them were, sadly, a little dry. The one which were not were very good. I also got the jumbo smoked wings. Sadly, they wouldn't let me try any of their other wing sauces with these wings. They are limited to one choice. If you want the other wing flavors, you have to order their other wings. I did like they brought out a 'bone bag' that you could put your bones and trash inside of instead of trying to make place for them on your plate. I don't think I would have the smoked wings here next time, but I'd give them a shot again with something else on their menu. read more

The atmosphere was pretty nice. I didn't like the boneless wings, they were something you could buy at the store. The ribs were tender. Pretty average though. read more

Deb was a amazing host! Very attentive and knows what she is doing, will definitely be coming back for her and the food!

Stopped in while traveling. Restaurant is huge but was surprisingly empty. We ordered the brisket chili and pulled chicken/pork combo. The chili was loaded with raw onion which overpowered any brisket taste. The chicken and pork were incredibly dry and the bbq did nothing to redeem it. Fire roasted corn was awful. The baked beans and service were decent. No paper towels in bathroom. read more

Full rack baby back ribs and 2 sides all for 19.99. It was a special but even at regular price it would be well worth it! Service was really good even though 3 servers called in sick. The employees working really huddled and worked together. The food was fabulous! The cole slaw is creamy and one of the best I've had. Baked beans also yummy. If it wasn't so rude I'd have liked the baked beans sauce to get every drop! French fries were good also. My husband who could eat bbq every day thought their pulled pork sandwich was great and the mashed potatoes were excellent. It's a very lovely bbq restaurant interior with lots of cute sayings framed on the walls. Don't miss eating here... we'll worth the money! read more

My son's 54th birthday buffet was GREAT, with good food, lots of it, and expert service from Kate, who took care of our every need and desire. Nice to have a separate area (behind the fireplace) for the 20 of us to celebrate. Thanks Smokey Bones! read more

We go to smoky bones a lot. We met friends there and were disappointed. There were at least 8 tables full of people and just one server. She did the best but waiting was really bad. Also we were advised that there was no Brisket or mushrooms. This is a barbque place for goodness sakes. It was mid afternoon and they should have had brisket The food we eventually got was good. read more

Deb was great! Served 9 of us at a retirement party. Easy to work with and just enough attention.

My server William was not only polite and knowledgeable but he made sure our entire experience was phenomenal!!! He was prompt and friendly and I would return to this establishment just because of his stellar service. Someone needs to give this young man a hefty raise!! When you dine at this establishment request William, you will have a great experience!!! read more

Decided to try something different and walked into Smokey Bones at opening on a weekday. It took a while for somebody to come as I sat at the bar, but once the server came, she took pretty good care of me. The menu is gigantic and I appreciated that she pointed me to a couple of things, and even told me what different items I should pick based on how much I wanted to eat. I went with their lunch special of $12, adding beef brisket for a $5 upcharge, since I wanted to try some special BBQ item. I also wanted to try some smoked wings, so I got 4 of those as an addon for another $5. I'm not a BBQ person, so I feel it's my non-expert opinion that the brisket could have been more moist. Was not a fan, and don't see why it should be at that upcharge. The wings, however. I got them with just the memphis rub, and they were amazing. I had no need of BBQ sauces (they have lots!) or the bleu cheese. There was a certain sweet-and-spicey thing going on with that rub, which I really liked. I'd come and eat a lot more if wings didn't pile on the calories, ha Service was great. However, the restaurant has a leaky roof, and the staff/restaurant know about it. It drips in random places during the rain. Wasn't a huge issue though. One day will go back and have more smoked wings. read more

The food tasted great but they got my order a little wrong they added pickles and added no mayo there were like 12 people which means a short wait time right, nope a pretty long for the amount of people there.

Pulled pork sandwich is outstanding. While this doesn't compare to true Texas/Memphis/KC bbq it is really good for the area, especially for the price. read more

Great place for BBQ! The menu is filled with many options of meat; from ribs to brisket to pulled pork. We ordered wings as an appetizer and they were pretty good. They had a smokey favor and the skin was crispy. The meat was also juicy and warm right off the grill. I would have liked more bbq sauce on the wings themselves, but they brought us extra on the side to add. As an entree I got the pulled pork sandwich. The meat doesn't have any bbq sauce on it, which I thought was odd, but thankfully we had leftover bbq from the wings that I poured on it. My entree also came with a side, I ordered fries and they were delicious. They were seasoned nicely and crisp. We also ordered corn bread, which was some of the best I've had. It was sweet, warm, and the honey butter is incredible! Prices are also reasonable for the amount of food you get with entrees. read more

I had the Brisket Grilled Cheese and my wife had a Bacon Cheese Burger. The service was great!! Super friendly and helpful. The French fries were under cooked and cold. The bacon on the burger was from yesterday or beyond. The onion and tomato were scraps. Brisket Grilled Cheese was pretty good. We were the only customers besides a guy at the bar.

My husband and I just ate a Smokey Bones in Cranberry Twp, PA and Deb waited on us, whom we'll get back to. We don't frequent there often, but will be from now on. Everything we ordered was delicious and a pleasant change. Deb had a smile on our face upon our arrival and upon our departure. She was waiting on several tables and never missed a beat. She had an upbeat attitude the whole time and we really enjoyed her. We give Deb a 5 star review!!!!!! read more
