    Very good and was so happy to have bbq nachos. Only disappointment is the amount of options that provide brisket. I only saw 2 meals on the menu that provided it.

    Impressive Bar and BBQ Place. I stopped into Smokey Bones after seeing a few locations during my travels. I was curious about the food and the vibe and decided to give the Grove City Ohio location a try. Smokey is a commercial chain of Barbecue restaurants around the USA serving up their versions of classic barbecue dishes. I was seated very quickly and my server came to my table very quickly. I told them that this was my first visit and they helped me choose starters and my main course. Each table at Smokey Bones has an assortment of barbecue sauces that you can try to see which one or ones you like. I started my meal with a cup of chili and the Korean Pork Belly Pops which is slow-cooked, tender pork belly, flash-fried until it's crispy and then topped with Smokey Bones Korean BBQ sauce. These pops were flavourful and more filling than I thought which left me with only a smaller portion option for my main course. I then ordered the Texas-style beef Brisket Platter that comes with two sides. The Brisket was moist and tender with a good amount of smokiness permeating through the meat. My sides were fire-roasted corn and Barbecue baked beans. Both sides were a great compliment to my meal. I was impressed with the place, the alcohol selection, the vibe, the service and the food as well. I most likely will try Smokey Bones again in another city to see how it compares to the Grove City location.

    This is the first time that I have been here in many years and I was pleasantly impressed. I ordered a side salad with bacon vinaigrette and a piece of grilled chicken. My server wasn't exactly sure how to ring it up but he figured it out. The salad was very good and the grilled chicken was the best! My husband ordered the chili and was very satisfied with his dish. The hot cornbread was amazing with the honey butter. We were there later in the evening and the restaurant was pretty calm and quiet which is what we enjoy. We will definitely be back! I want to try their lunch menu next time.

    Smoked Jumbo Wings

    i probably went here close to 10 times within a month while in the area. Wings are pretty good, great smokey flavor but they are "jumbo wings", too big for my personal taste. I consistently ordered the bones salad with grilled chicken mostly for the balsamic dressing. service was always great as well.

    they didn't write down our reservation. They didn't even care and just said it was a miscommunication.

The food... the last few times I've had the brisket it has been very tender and full of flavor! This actually surprised me (see my previous review) and that's what made me order it four times in a row even though I normally like to switch it up. I tried the pastrami and it was pretty decent. It was thick cut and tender. Not as salty as I anticipated. I prefer the more fatty cuts but you can ask for lean or full cut. The pulled pork has been less dry than it used to be and I've ordered the Lolo's pulled pork a handful of times because of it. The slaw and swine wine are a good combo in my opinion. Half chicken is still good and even though it seems smaller lately it is still filling, plus I love Texas toast! My current favorite sides are now the corn pudding, the collard greens, and the mac. The green beans are also flavorful. I haven't had the ribs, turkey, sausage, or pulled chicken in a long time so I can't speak on those. All in all, I'm still very happy with this location.

The flavor and the tenderness were our own point. The pulled chicken sandwich that my friend had I had a little bit of and the chicken was so moist. All of the sides were delicious as well. The atmosphere is what you would expect in a barbecue joint. I did have more fat than you should have on a sandwich, but they took care of it and gave me a little more extra pork to add to it.

You walk in the door and it smells just like heaven if heaven was an amazing barbecue place. Keep walking forward and you can enjoy the historic walls and wood floors and when you get to the counter, they know all the stuff. You can try your stuff, but if you need some advice, they got some good ones. We got a sampler, drums, and a brisket sandwich. They have some delicious barbecue options from spicy to very velvet, smooth and sweet to the Kansas City mustard style. The people were friendly they were efficient. They got us exactly what we ordered, the service was great. The price wasn't too bad either Certainly willing to return here. This is some yummy stuff.

I visited with a friend for lunch, purchased the recommended selection, and we sat down to eat. and boy did we eat! But, despite my best efforts, I was not able to vanquish all the food that was on my plate. Wow. I placed all the leftovers in it to go box and it made two meals for later, I was quite surprised. The food here is delicious and I found it to be quite the bargain. Definitely coming back for more. There are lots of barbecue restaurants in Columbus, but Smoked On High truly stands out as exceptional.

I ordered the thai spring rolls, thai wonton soup, steak hibachi, and fried bananas. Sadly this was below my expectations and I ended up throwing away half the food. Let's start with the positives. The hibachi was okay. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor but the portion size was large enough for leftovers and the steak was tender. The thai spring rolls were alright but I have had better. Again, they weren't very flavorful. This may be that the wonton soup was a thai version, but the flavor was awful. I had a spponful of the broth and had to throw it out. It was so disgusting. The fried bananas were brown and really squishy. They weren't appetizing after the disappointment from the rest of the meal. Later that evening my stomach also started hurting.

    So Mark and I tried a new to us restaurant this afternoon…read more.. It's primarily a Thai / Hibachi carry out, with 5 tables. You order and pay at the kiosk and wait for them to bring it out to you. Our food took about 8 to 10 minutes. It looks clean inside, is brightly lit and the staff are very friendly and polite. I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai which was quite delicious, one of the better versions in town. I counted 8 large shrimp covered by both thin and medium wide noodles which was odd and made it a little heavier but it worked for me on a certain level. The flavors were spot on Thai with that delicious mix of sweet, sour and salty. My only suggestion would be to get a little more scrambled egg and bean sprouts to lighten the heaviness of the rice noodles. My main sticking point is that they apparently don't offer lunch portions. The portions are dinner sized @ $17.99 but it's just far too much food for me and I'm not a fan of leftovers. Add a mini Pepsi @ $2.50 and tax and I had a nearly $21 lunch at a strip mall carryout? Ouch! There's a lot of positives that work well for others but the lack of a lunch portion will probably keep me away so... 4 Stars
