Absolutely horrible food and service experience. We ordered the 6oz sirloin steak ; it was full of strings . So our server asked if i wanted something else. So I ordered a burger #20 same price as the steak . When we got our bill they charged us or the steak replacement. When I asked the manager about it she said that I ate the majority of the steak . Which was a lie and a joke. THEN SHE SAID " IF YOU DONT PAY THIS BILL IM CALLING THE POLICE ' ! SO RUDE AND SHOCKING ,never have i seen this behavior. My husband a criminal attorney was standing listening. Of course I didn't pay the vill but told her to take off the replacement and give me a new steak. We paid the original amount but I also left with their stringy inedible " 4 OZ steak . DON'T EVER GO BACK THERE +They are always EMPTY now I know why Don't bother with this place we have a $10 off #25 email and still not going back !!!

Pick your two brisket and grilled chicken baked potato.

Staff and our waitress were very friendly. Food was seasoned well and came out hot. Definitely plan to visit again next time I'm in Ohio.

Walked into Smokey Bones in Maumee with an appetite and left with regret. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we were inconveniencing the staff just by existing. The hostess barely acknowledged us, and our server acted like refilling a drink was a personal attack. The food? Let's just say if you're going to call yourself a BBQ joint, maybe try bringing the food out hot and with some seasoning. She obviously forgot to put in our food order, places was not busy we waited nearly an hour. The ribs were dry, the potato was somehow both greasy and flavorless, and THE SIDES came out before the food tasted like they were scooped straight from a cafeteria tray. You want good bbq try Applebees. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE ITS PATHETIC!!!!!!! 0/10

Bone fire

Our waitress was great, we got the Bone fire our food was cold and overcooked. It took over 45 minutes to get our food

BBQ MAG NACHO
Jarrod J.

The food, as always, is good, with hardy portion sizes. The Mag Nachos never disappoint. Fully loaded with toppings and fully loaded with flavor. The Crowd Pleaser gives you a smaller portion and variety of apps. The Mini Mag, the wings, and the fried pickles with house made ranch, is definitely a pleaser you want to sample. My daughter raved about the Brisket Stuffed Grilled Cheese, in fact, there was so much brisket, she could top her Mac n Cheese. Service was excellent. The bar service of the Strawberry Dream Rita and the Exotic Bull Mojito hit the spot. However, they didn't do Granny proud with their weak, weak, weak, did I mention weak, Sweet Tea. Definitely was a miss this time. The place was fairly clean, except come on, we know no one uses the Carolina mustard based BBQ sauce, but for the love of God, clean those squeeze bottles they are disgusting (and we checked every table around us same gunk in the tip, nasty!) We will definitely be back. Especially for Mag Nachos as usual.

Pretty good barbecue for a chain restaurant. The sausage and ribs were good but the potato wedges weren't crispy enough.

This was my second time visiting this location, and I did notice some improvements compared to my…read morefirst experience. Right away, I appreciated that the music was set at a reasonable level and had a calm vibe, which made it easy to relax and even hear myself think. The ordering process at the register was also much smoother this time. It was quicker, easier to understand, and I felt like my order was actually heard. Unfortunately, the biggest drawback of my visit was the wait time. It took nearly 30 minutes for my food to come out, even though my order was just two sets of wings and fries. Meanwhile, the two friends I came with received their food much sooner, and I noticed multiple DoorDash orders being completed and handed out before in-store customers were served. When the food finally did arrive, it was hot and the flavor was decent--overall, I'd give it about a 6/10. The wings had good seasoning, but nothing that really stood out as exceptional. In short, while I've seen some improvements in both the staff and the food quality since my last visit, this still isn't a place I'd come to regularly. It's not ideal for a quick, easy meal, but if you don't mind waiting 30+ minutes for wings that are just "okay," it might be worth the stop.

On 11/16/25, at about 12:30 pm, we ordered, for the first time ever, from Wingstop on Conant. I…read moreordered the Classic For Two, 20 wings w large fry and two sauces - for carry out. Due to the way, their website is set up. I was relatively forced to order online and pay ahead of time as I was unable to find their phone number on their website. I was unable to order two separate types of flavors so I just ordered them plain. My wife picked up the order, then had to turn around and go back, because they forgot our fries. When she got home, we reheated our food briefly, then got our plates and had dinner. The wings were VERY small and with only average flavor. I was really surprised at how small and how little meat the wings had. Now I know why they consider 10 wings a serving for one. The sauces were both ranch, (my wife's choice), which she said was fine. The seasoned fries were good. We also used condiments from home. Overall, this was a disappointing and underwhelming experience. We will not be going back.
