    Still tipped shouldnt have after the way we were treated
    Braylin C.

    Food was great but services was terrible our sever had us waiting 15 minutes before he even got to us for our drinks not even food yet. Then today was national margarita today so I asked him if they had any deals and he said no. Come to find out they had $4 margaritas then my wife's order came with 2 sides he didn't even ask what sides she wanted he just skipped to me for my order before she asked if her came with 2 sides definitely won't be returning

    Where we sat. Close to the bar and entrance.

    We stopped here after visiting the Children's Museum. The server was super sweet & kind. The music was enjoyable and wasn't too loud. Atmosphere was fun & we could still all talk. The food was decent. I got the BBQ Mag Nacho. They were tasty but didn't have much meat. I was disappointed. My son Bryson got the 6 Boneless White Wings and Mac & Cheese. He loved it. Super delicious. Below are some more favorites that were tried.

    Kim is an amazing server's! Fast service, great food! Places are clean and warm welcoming. The best part of all is that banana pudding is a must!!!

    Last place my now in heaven Brother and Me art. I'm a poetic reviewer for here goes. April 2, 2022...day we buried our Father who suddenly died in his sleep. We ate here because our other brother said " Man they got the best burger fam"....so Smokey Bones unknowingly hosted our family's "funeral service". Small tribe of no parents and 4 child and their loves, we just wanted to eat together, and be okay. No big show. Just us and 5 others at funeral. A Maine Vet. Shocking. Anywho, food...made my soul calm. I enjoyed the wings, while my brother got this big ass burger as seen in picture. I seen that now, and look to heaven saying, you and dad are both gone now, and I just wanna have a Smokey Bones Burger. The charm and ambiance of this particular location, was spot on. Made us feel like part of the tribe. Fast forward, both are in heaven, family is split and Ive been homeless living in my car since. How life is changing. But one thing that I hope doesn't, is the absolute stunning vibe and dishes this place offers. Thanks for listening, and showing us grace

    Melted ice cream

    Wheew where do I start? Well Indiana is not home to any good barbecue, regardless to what anyone tells you. My family has owned and operated southern Barbecue spots for years before we relocated.. so I know great bbq. We decided to order take out via the Smokey Bones website because I wanted ribs, but I really didn't feel like making them. I ordered two slab dinners a half chicken (all white meat) and a chocolate cake to go. My son in law picked the order up, and we noticed that my white meat order was simply a breast, a wing and a drum stick..!!!!! White meat is only breasts and wings. In addition a half of a chicken has four pieces.. why was my order just three pieces?? The sides were horrible also, and the ribs that were on special were dry and flavorless and even worse they were musty. I have no doubt in my mind that these ribs were cooked days ago. How do you serve chewy meat!! The final straw was the fact that the ice cream for the cake was packed with the hot food and it was melted. BTW the cake was horrible so please avoid that. I called and spoke with a manager for a refund of the missing chicken and he stated that he couldn't find the order.. but would make a refund for the missing piece of chicken when he was able to locate it. Worst food experience in Greenwood ever. Save your money and just cook at home. I will be writing corporate, because we threw all of this food in the trash and it was a pure waste of money.

The baked beans were more average to good. My dining partner had the brisket, mashed sweet potatoes, and baked beans. She said the brisket was very generously portioned and delicious, as was the mashed sweet potatoes. It's a counter service setup, but they did bring out our drinks and make sure we had refills.

This appears to be a catering service that offers take-out or dine-in lunch and diners. You can buy bulk or al la carte. The restaurant has a decent sized dining area with a couple of televisions for patrons enjoyment. The dining area is decorated with 80s movies posters and has a somewhat rustic vibe. There are also a few small tables outside, in front of the restaurant that you can sit as well. The woman working there was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. They serve barbecue, fried chicken, burgers, steaks, salmon, nachos, ham, brats, salads, sandwiches and wraps. I order the 3 piece fried chicken platter, which came with two sides (french fries and collard greens). I came on a Tuesday, but I should have came on a Friday because the fried chicken is buy one, get one free on Fridays. Oh well, now I know. The fried chicken is made to order, so it took about 20 minutes for me to get my meal, but it was fresh. I will admit, at first, I was a bit skeptical because the chicken was a lot lighter than I was used to. However, it was love at first bite. It was so crispy and delicious. The collard greens had a sweet vinegary taste to it and I liked that as well. You will find a sauce buffet here, with a bunch of different sauces and condiments that you can put in small containers that they provide and you can get them to-go or use it in the restaurant, like I did. I put some on the sauce on the already delicious chicken and it made it even better. I really like this place, It is kind of tucked away, so I am glad that I found it. If you looking for a place with a variety of good food, look no further. This is your place, I highly recommend checking this place out.

It is a bit hard to determine where to order given the large space once you walk in, but they have a counter with a chalkboard menu to the left along the wall. They have a TON of choices and a lot of great sounding sides. The best deals are either platters or meals, as they come with sides and drinks. But they also offer specials during the week which makes things interesting. We got fried chicken breast (as out of all other chicken options almost) with a side of coleslaw. Tasty but a bit dry on the chicken. They do have at least 6 sauces to use (self serve) so that helped but I'd probably try another option next time. I'm more of a heavily seasoned preference if going to go for chicken, so found it also a bit bland. But well cooked and fresh! The sides of several others were great with a lot of variety so you can mix and match. Everyone ate the majority of their meals, so I think it went over well as a new option. The portions are large for the price so you won't go away hungry for sure! It is worth checking out and I appreciate their commitment to Barbeque.
