    Bag of donuts... With 3 tony donuts soaked in grease and a gross amount of wet sugar.
    Colin M.

    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.

    Ribs, Texas toast, Mac and cheese.

    Ribs were ok. Not much meat on them. I know their baby back, but come on. Service was very good. Not a lot of people there on a Sunday evening.

    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!!

    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.

    Pulled pork sandwich and slightly undercooked baked potato
    Melody H.

    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.

    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.

The management and service staff may let you down at times, but not the chicken itself if cooked correctly. I've always had my delivery within 45 minutes from ordering because I only live about 2 miles away. The convenience here sucks because this KFC is located inside a Walmart. So no drive through and finding a close parking space is ridiculous- at times. I can't count all the times we skipped getting KFC because it was much easier to drive thru the BURGER KING or DAIRY QUEEN nearby. That leaves just one thing left to cover. Price - or better said. Value for the dollar. I think paying about $2 or more for a Piece of chicken puts it in almost same category as deluxe meals out. Ponderosa, Texas Roadhouse and the Longhorn Steakhouse compete very well cause of the fact chicken that chicken at this town is costly. But what you get for your dollar is best purchased from KFC. ( We avoid places like MacDonalds because of the grease and the over processed food ingredients not good for people.).

Unfortunately, my experience was not great...not totally awful, but there is lots of room for improvement. I stopped in around 1:00 on a Saturday, and it was still kind of hard to park in their tiny lot. To a person, the staff all seemed annoyed to be there, and that kind of flavored my experience. They have lots of interesting items on their menu for a BBQ place - pork buns, etc. - but for my first meal I went with the basics. I ordered a brisket sandwich, the mac-n-cheese, and a coke. I was given a number to put on my table, and then sat down. The sandwich was soon delivered, but no side. When I asked about my mac-n-cheese I was told "it's coming later" in a less than friendly tone. The brisket was a bit dry and chewy, and there was nothing else on the sandwich. The mac-n-cheese was far less impressive. This was not a scoop of grandma's baked goodness, but something more institutional...basically boiled pasta with a bland and watery sauce. Everyone can have a bad day, so I will likely give Mitch's another shot, but I was not happy during my first visit.
