We had a great meal and great service with Jackie. I'm super content with my experience here today. Everything was tasty and served at the right temperature. I love the atmosphere here and honestly everyone was so friendly and accommodating. It also doesn't hurt that they have an all day happy hour throughout the restaurant. I look forward to coming back here again. read more

This wonderful place will make you feel right at home. The service was absolutely divine and the ambience here is so wonderful. It's like the moment you step in is like you're in a whole new world. The food Was just as great. I loved every bit of it. The chocolate cake was absolutely awesome And I have to say personally The corn bread was wonderful and especially with that pecan spread. And the wings.Well I didn't get a chance to try them. My mom had ate them all As I mentioned to her that she try them and she had thought they were all for her. But overall she said that they were all the best. The flavors of those wings were smokey barbecue and a blueberry barbecue. Next time I come to Lithonia I'll be sure to try them. And this time I'll be sure to try the peach barbecue. read more

Service was sub par. I ordered a salad which never came. I ordered the mild wings which were just okay. I ask for a to go container and it took entirely too long to come. Bar tender was moving too slow and was not paying attention to any guests. read more

The food was Mediocre. The service ok. My #1 complaint was, there were 7 adults and one 2 year old baby boy and from the manager or co manager stated they have to charge a 20% gratuity because that was considered 8 people., the baby did not order anything, ate off his parent plate. Unbelievable that they would charge that much for a baby. They get a F in my book. We will not be coming back.. read more

I told myself when I got terribly order a salad. Why didn't I listen to myself?? The bone fire was a rip off with nothing good to say about it. The little pieces of food they give you. The chicken was frozen Tyson and the steak was a cheap grade of steak. The ribs were extra small and not good and dry. This is not impressive at all. The atmosphere was nice but the service was horrible. We had a big party and we all ate at different times. Our drinks came late as well. The only thing that was decent was the cornbread. This is not real barbecue. I have been to bigger establishments and at least they have the smoke smell in the building and the taste is in the meat. I'm Surprised this place is still open. read more

The restaurant get an F. It was 7 people in our party and a toddler, do the manager , I guest she was the manager. It was told to our table that they are adding him as an adult do they can get a 20% charge to each ticket. WRONG, WRONG, WRON G. YOU DONT DO THAT. My chicken was pink inside, and my broccoli was hard as a brick, after I ask for extra, extra, soft. Will not go back. read more

Dropped in for a quick working lunch. The service was fast but very boring. Our waiter was dry and not friendly (not rude either). He would walk up and just remove stuff off the table and interrupted us eating and talking to hand him a straw wrapper on the opposite side of the table. He didn't check on us too frequently but he was visibly available if we needed it. He gave us very much "I'm here so I don't get fired" vibes. The food was good: got the lunch special chicken wings. It tasted good and was worth the price. read more

We stopped by and decided to place an online order for pickup while sitting in the parking lot. After waiting until the designated pickup time, we went inside--only to wait an additional 30 minutes for our food. Once we finally received our order and returned to the car to eat, the experience only got worse. I had paid extra for seasoning on my fries, but they came completely plain. Not only that, they were incredibly hard and stale--as if they had been sitting out all day. Even my toddler wouldn't eat them, which says a lot. The mac and cheese was overly mushy, and the brisket bowl was missing the brisket entirely. It was just mac and cheese with beans--definitely not what was advertised. To top it off, the restaurant didn't have air conditioning, and with temperatures outside at 90 degrees, the inside was uncomfortably hot. While the place may look decent from the outside, the overall experience--from the long wait and food quality to the uncomfortable environment--was very disappointing. read more

The food was decent, but the service was extremely disappointing. Gabby provided the worst service we've experienced here. After waiting over 20 minutes, another server had to bring us the check because we were being ignored. It's frustrating when a server avoids even looking at your table. I also wanted to order another cocktail and a to-go order, but they lost that sale due to poor service. Two stars only because the food was okay. read more

I was meeting up with someone for drinks and the restaurant we went to had an hour wait, so ironically we ended up at Smokey Bones. Now they may have royally screwed up my online order that one time, but the bar service was A-1! We came in and overheard the hostess tell the couple in front of us they can sit at the bar and if they want a table, it would be a 30-45 minute wait. If you are coming to that area to dine or have drinks on a Saturday evening, try to make a reservation because if not, you may have to wait. We found two seats at the bar, sat down, and Jo Jo greeted us right away. She told us that it was Margarita Day and they had $4 Margarita specials. Say what?! Yes, please!!! They also had food specials but I just came for the drinks since I had already ate. We both ordered the regular Margaritas. She asked if we wanted salt or sugar on the rim and I declined both. Now usually when the drinks are cheap, there isn't much alcohol but not those margaritas! The drinks were strong! After a couple of sips, my eyes were getting low. After two drinks, I was feeling good, feeling great! I told her I was done but my friend ordered another drink. When Jo Jo brought his drink, she brought me another drink as well. She had forgotten I didn't want another drink and she apologized and told me she got me. I was not complaining at all because I did drink it. So we had three drinks each and when the bill came, Jo Jo only charged us for five drinks, that was thoughtful of her to not charge us for my third drink I thought I didn't want but slurped down anyway. I don't know if the $4 margaritas are only on Saturdays but if you want to get out and have some good, cheap drinks, in a setting with a nice vibe. go see Jo Jo! She will take care of you. read more

I am absolutely livid and beyond disappointed with my recent experience at Smokey Bones. I ordered wings with lemon pepper seasoning and BBQ sauce -- a simple, standard item that any competent kitchen should be able to get right. When I got home and opened my box, I was shocked to find that not only were the wings completely plain, but the sauce and seasoning were served on the side in the tiniest portions imaginable. To make matters worse, the amount they gave me wasn't even close to enough to properly coat twelve wings. It was laughable -- as if they expected me to finish preparing my own meal at home after paying full price for theirs. And if that weren't bad enough, they actually put my Coke Zero in a soup bowl. A soup bowl. I wish I were joking. Who in their right mind serves a soft drink like that? It's unprofessional, careless, and flat-out bizarre. At that point, I honestly started questioning whether anyone in that kitchen takes their job seriously. When I called the restaurant to address this ridiculous mistake, I expected at least some effort to make it right. Instead, the manager, Vincent, told me the kitchen was closed -- despite the fact that there was still nearly half an hour left before closing time. That excuse was unacceptable. If the kitchen is still open to serve paying customers, it should also be open long enough to correct a mistake they made. I didn't mess up my order -- they did. And yet, they had absolutely no interest in taking accountability or offering any sort of meaningful solution. This is not just about the wrong order. It's about the complete lack of professionalism, quality control, and respect for customers' time and money. I wasted gas driving there and back, spent money on food that wasn't even close to what I ordered, and was then told, essentially, "too bad." The apathy and laziness are astounding. I've been to Smokey Bones before and, unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've been disappointed. But it will definitely be the last if this situation isn't rectified. I expect a full refund or for my order to be remade properly -- and I expect management to actually acknowledge how poorly this was handled. It shouldn't take an angry customer review to get basic customer service or decent food preparation. Smokey Bones, this experience was embarrassing for your brand. Your staff's carelessness, from the Coke Zero in a soup bowl to the pathetic portion of sauce and seasoning, shows a shocking lack of pride in your work. My inconvenience needs to be fixed -- period. If this is how you treat your paying customers, you'll keep losing them. I deserve better, and so does every other customer who trusts you with their time and money. read more

Had a party of 16, they were able to accommodate. Food was great. Drinks were great. Our waitress, Simone, was amazing. She made our night so easy after a long day. She accommodated food allergy, made our drinks, got our apps and food out fast, and checked on us pretty often. She was friendly, and attentive. We would come back just for her service. read more

Smokey Bones is SMOKIN!!! And a lot of it is due to the great service of Shakiya. She was extremely attentive and made sure that our party of roughly 25 brothers who were hungry. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean and the food was great. Especially my lemon pepper wings and broccoli. I was a frequenter to Smokey Bones when I lived in Maryland and I didn't know if I'd find the same type of food here (mostly the smoked wings) but so happy I did. And thanks to Shakiya for serving us with a smile from beginning to end! read more

For vegans good luck. Limited items. I ordered fried pickles without the ranch, sweet potato fries, and a blushing strawberry sangria. They once had a vegetarian burger on the menu (not that it would help me) but that's no longer on their menu. So if you're a vegetarian, maybe ask before arriving. However, at least you (vegetarians) have many options. I mean at the very least you can have the typical beyond meat or impossible burger for us. So 1 star off for the lack of vegan items. Everyone else you will enjoy your food. My family did. When I wasn't vegan years ago I enjoyed the food. So no complaints there. We were fortunate to have an excellent waitress that provided excellent service 5/5! Restaurant ambiance nice, clean, like the open environment and it wasn't crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Noise was moderate, may get a little loud for those watching the game. Recommend for BBQ lovers. Oh and they have really good drinks too! read more

My husband and I ordered this BBQ spot for the first time on Father's Day. We used door dash, and I can say at least nothing was missing from the order - which is a huge plus, however the food was The nachos were crappy, dry chicken with BBQ sauce, I was so disappointed. My husband ordered the 'Any 3 Favorites' and this was the worst. In addition, he paid extra for brisket and I kid you not, 2/3rds of it was fat!! The pulled pork and the brisket were extremely salty, no flavor behind it. The chicken was good..and the Mac and cheese was good. The onion rings were a little over cooked. Lastly, there was no smoke flavor, which is expected because of the name. I know door dash upcharges, but for the amount of money- we're disappointed! read more

I'm late in writing this review, but better late than never, right? To start of I was w/a party of about 7 of us. We got there around 9 30ish. and it wasn't crowded at all. Nice amount of ppl for that time, but not overwhelmed with ppl. Our waitress did an excellent job of tending to all of us. I ordered the pulled pork Nachos. "SO Good, SO Good, SO Good" (in the words of that Destiny's Child song)! I can't remember what the other ladies got, but most of them were satisfied with their meal. The only thing I can say that I DID NOT like was their health score...83 or 84. Normally when I see a score like that, I don't eat there, but hey, it wasn't just me this time, so I dealt with it! read more

Smokey bones you call yourself smoky bones for a reason I thought then I ordered your $19 full rib platter just for myself and then I find out that the ribs are slow roasted in the oven. Well, I can do that at home the only way to get smoked ribs at your place when I called I heard you have to buy the big $30 platter. It's not about the prices. The prices are fine. The issue is the food is lousy if I was just gonna do tasteless no smoke ribs. I could've did that in my own oven. You're gonna lose your shirt people who come to your establishment are looking for a smoked meat. Raise your prices or cut cost someplace else not in the one thing that we're looking for when we come there and that is smoked meat I've been there one other time I decided to give you a second chance, but believe me you're going to end up closing. The service is good. The ambience is fine. The food lousy. read more

Food was pretty good except for the salty fries. Customer service was UNDER the poorest ever!!!! The young, stocky, football player type looking guy that works the bar was rude. He totally ignored us as we sat at the bar. I had to wave and call.for him for service and he wasn't busy at all. I asked him was it ok to sit at the bar and he blatantly said "No, I'd prefer if y'all sat over there (pointing at the seated tables). We walked out and will NOT return.

Give Shaii a increase in pay!!! Her customer service was one of the best I've experienced. The food was good too.

I sat at the bar and was helped by Tessie. Apparently, she's new. I couldn't tell. The service was excellent. She was attentive and gave great recommendations for the menu despite limited experience. I chose the boneless wings and brisket grilled cheese with a baked potato. Big back, I know. Everything was tasty. I washed it down with a top shelf long Island that made me sit and pace myself. It was that well blended. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu and get more drinks from Tessie. To top off the great food and service, the bar was full of friendly patrons and the restaurant itself was spotless. read more

The ribs were terrible. Don't waste your time. Jim and Nicks are much better IMO

It truly hurts me to write this review but after bringing two coworkers here for lunch; I have to cut ties with Smokey Bones. When I tell you I loved Smokey Bones down ! I loved Smokey Bones down. I used to work at Stonecrest mall so I frequented the restaurant often but the food quality, the service and the overall ambiance of the restaurant has gone down tremendously. The menus are sticky and faded. The floors in the booths are greasy. The chicken wings are dry, the potatoes wedges aren't fried fresh and fluffy. There are inconsistencies with the dishes. I've ordered the same rib deal with loaded mashed potatoes and broccoli and it's a surprise every time. I used to love Smokey Bones and I feel like the menu deals they offer are great for drawing diners in but I am truly embarrassed from the overall service over the last few years. Our server gave us a sheet to do a review and I had to be honest. They need a makeover like Red Lobster or something. read more

I love all of the staff here. They have specials that are cheap and the drinks are good.

Came in for lunch on a weekday and there was no line no wait. This restaurant is large and has plenty of seating options. Gabby was my server and she was a sweetheart very attentive to my needs. I ordered a burger (the one with the pulled pork and fried pickle) it was pretty good cooked medium well, a nice portion size as i only ate half and took the other to go along with a side of fries which were hot and extra crispy the way i like them and extra side of baked beans which were my favorite they were sweet and savory and they cook them with meat. The drink i ordered was just peachy it was strong but i can't say it tasted like peach so it was just ok to me. Overall i had a nice experience here and would come back to try some of their other items. read more
