We had a wonderful dining experience at Smokey Bones on Dussel Drive, in Maumee, OH. Grace, our server, was outstanding. She was very pleasant, attentive, and friendly. The food was great too! We had the beef brisket and nutty chicken salad. On our next trip, it'll be difficult for us to decide which server to request. Grace or Jake? We highly recommend Smokey Bone's in Maumee, OH. read more

Saturday, June 8 6:00 PM. We were a party of 10 celebrating a friends 59th birthday. We had a slight wait as they needed to clean the area, no worries. Our first indication that things might not go well was how filthy and sticky the floor was. Our shoes LITERALLY stuck to the floor! You could hear the suction sound as we walked and you could see the stickiness in the sunlight. (I swear they said they were cleaning up the area before we were able to sit down.) All was going ok (we thought) after we sat down. Our drinks were a bit slow to get to us, no worries, but...I was given the first of two wrong drinks. Others drinks arrived late or had to be requested again. Must be really busy, right? Wrong! When it came time to order food, all seemed to be going ok. Several salads were ordered, a bowl of stew and a bowl of chili and our main meals. After awhile two of the salads arrive. Then someone's full dinner was presented right as she began to eat her salad. ??? She was also sharing a meal and it took quite some time to get the extra plate. Then the stew arrived. But still no chili. More dinners arrive, but one salad is missing as well as the chili. Requests were made for both. The salad showed up (the meal was already on the table) as well as two of the smallest plates to eat the Bone Fire they ordered. Why???? The chili showed up but was in a cup. Cup? Bowl?? I suppose the two words sound alike. (Ha!) That went back so a bowl could be brought out. When that finally arrived the server stated "It was marked as a to-go order". Um, ok, but why did it come out as a cup first then??? No need to lie! Next several people ordered more drinks...and I did not. I DID NOT ORDER ANOTHER DRINK. I'm clear, right? Except I got another sangria THAT I DID NOT ORDER. WTF? Two drinks I never ordered given to me. Meanwhile several who ordered water never got them. Now on to the food. I will only speak for myself and my husband even though I know things were wrong with several other meals. The hubs: He ordered the chicken and with it, two orders of the baked beans. Now he already had his chili messed up so how on earth could it get worse? Well.....he was given his chicken with two baked potatoes. Potatoes...beans...maybe in another language they sound the same? Took some more time for him to get the beans. His chili? Well it arrived but was by far was a joke to call brisket chili. He likened it to canned Hormel with a few pieces of beef on top. His chicken was ok, moist but not really that flavorful. Mine is next. I ordered the 6 oz sirloin with a baked potato and broccoli. I ordered the steak medium rare. Did I get a medium rare steak??? No, of course not. But by now I have just given up. My steak was only partly consumed as it was like a piece of shoe leather. Even BBQ sauce couldn't help. Our waitress, when she showed up to the table, appeared to be upset, perhaps in tears. I'm not sure what her issues were but...she should of stayed home. She was not in a good mood which totally set a bad tone to what was supposed to be a great night celebrating. Now comes the bill. It was presented and I noticed we were charged for one of the two drinks I never ordered. The hubs said "don't worry about it, let's not make a scene since it so and so's birthday and she chose the restaurant." So I let it go. No where on this was the gratuity. Imagine my surprise when my card was run and the receipt given to me to sign...there was the added gratuity!!! I wanted to remove it but....we did not need to make the birthday girl feel even worse for everything that went wrong. So...we paid almost $100 for a crappy meal, with terrible service but could not say much of anything as we did not want to hurt our friends feelings. By the amount of poor reviews for this place, I guarantee we will not be back...and will make sure others know how bad the service and the food were. If it remains open that long. read more

Today I had a very good meal very delicious. I had a very attentive server Jessica. I will definitely return with my family.

Disappointed with the salads we received. $18 for a steak salad and no dressing. Same with the chicken salad. We felt robbed for the amount of money we spent and what we received. read more

My smoked wings were delicious! Ashea made sure everything was perfect for date night with my handsome hubby! His favorite spot!

Been around 5 year's had business in the area so a must visit. Thick Cut Candy Bacon OMG fantastic. Whole Slab O Ribs Baby Backs rule. Half Chicken Platter BOGO yes. Bowl of Brisket Chili terrible no flavor watery it Sucks. Waitress forgot Garlic Bread with Chicken dinners. Nations best BBQ chain I say. Folks I got to say the best BBQ chain in the USA. I've eaten at a dozen plus of the locations and the baby back smoked ribs are the exact same with a beautiful smoke ring cooked to perfection each and ever time. I'm so sorry the chain only has 2 location in Michigan and I have to drive to the buckeye state all being worth the trip. If Slows is a favorite of yours a trip down I-75 is a must to try a chain that's worthy of the best in the USA. #smokeybones @smokeybonesbar #babybackribs #smokedmeat #candybacon #chickendinner read more

Food was great, and service was fantastic. This was our first time there, and we'll definitely be back!

I have never felt the urge to actually leave a review until our experience at Smokey bones. Easily the worst dining experience I have ever had! We sat at the bar and waited at least 10 minutes for the plates from the previous customers to be cleared. Never once was the bar top sanitized. The bartender said they got slammed with GrubHub orders but the kitchen was catching up. We chose items that would be quick... Nachos, wings and a pulled chicken sandwich. It took almost an hour to get the food. And what we got was horrible! My husband pulled A chicken leg bone out of the nachos ( The nachos looked nothing like the picture on the menu, BTW) It was so bad, it was comical! Our food and drinks came to $80... $8 would have been too much! read more

I placed an order online and couldn't get my gift card to work. I called them and was told to pay with a credit card and when I picked up my order they would charge my gift card and credit my Visa. They charged my gift card but never credited my Visa. I filled out paperwork with the restaurant to receive the credit. After speaking with the manager Joey several times and being assured that I would receive the $25.00 credit I finally emailed Smokey Bones to inquire about it. Three emails and no response. I paid for my order twice and no one seems to care. Take your business down the street to Sidelines, a restaurant you can trust. read more

Kyra was our server, and she did an amazing job! She was super attentive and sweet. The food was delicious and came out quickly. We always have a good experience at Smokey Bones but this one was great. 10/10 read more

Not a fan. Meat was dry as leather. Service was mediocre serving size was good but the ribs we're simply the worst I've ever had.

Sofia was our waitress and she was a super waitress . She was on top of everything. She needs a raise and a promotion

It took forever to get our order in. We ordered two salmon dinners with premium sides. There were maybe 6-7 people in the entire restaurant. Both our dinners came out burnt to a crisp, raw and were ice-cold. Not only was the entree cold, the vegetables were cold. It did take forever to find our waitress or a manager. We finally did and she came out and she could clearly see what we were concerned about and offered to cook up fresh ones. I was afraid with the world today that it would get spit in. Then I thought they had to of gone to Alaska to catch the salmon, clean it and cook it because it took so so long. We were there for hours. Again there was nobody in the restaurants. I understand they probably had to clean the grills although they should have been clean before we got there with no customers. The second try came out and it was delicious but way to late at this point for the two of us to eat the entire dinner. I was SHOCKED after what we dealt with the manager NEVER even came back to our table to see if what we recieved was any better. So we gathered our leftovers and had to flag the waitress for our bill. I had a $25.00 certificate because of 2 burnt burnt burnt racks of ribs we got back in November. Then the manager only gave us $18.49 + $5.00 off our bill tonight. That does NOT add up to $25.00 and I'm shock I even got a bill after we clearly received an aweful dinner at NO fault of ours. Also the waitress never asked me for my point card to even get credit. As much as I used to go in there and with the constant turnover with your staff and management with NO GM in almost a year, I don't understand how your even still open. We were so so so disappointed in the last several visits and my friends I dine with will never return to Smokey Bones. I once stopped in at least once a week read more

Smokey Bones - Both our dinners looked like this. Burnt, raw and cold. Aweful food l, aweful service and still left out waitress a $10 tip - Barbeque Near Me - Maumee, Ohio

Abigail, Our server was only 2 days in but she was great. Very attentive and got everything correct.

Service is terrible here. Lady that waited on me talked to me rude. I ordered my food. She told me 15 minutes. Some people sat at the bar 10 after I arrived. After 25 minutes the people that sat down ten minutes after me was eating and I still had not received my food. And she had a attitude when I ask her about it. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

Jake was an awesome server and made our girls night out fun! He was very informative about the menu and kept out glasses full!

Our server Taylor C. was amazing and the food was too! I do wish the cornbread came with the meal, even a small piece, would have been nice. read more

I ordered from Smokey bones. I was very unhappy. My ribs were very fatty and tough. The donuts were loaded with grease it's like they took them out of the oil and did not drain them. It's like if you order on line you get what they throw at you. Not happy read more

Our server, Burton was on it. He made our dining experience very pleasant. Our food was delicious.

Stopped for dinner and our server Jake was amazing. Very attentive, the food was impeccable and the restaurant was extremely clean. Will be back soon!! read more

Couple of times I was there, experiences have been good. I wouldn't say they have the best baby back ribs or anything, but in general all their offerings are above average. I do, however, love their dessert selection. This is a very rare thing for me. I'm not a dessert person at all. There are only a few dessert items that I'll crave and donuts are definitely not one of them. (Can I consider donuts as desserts??) Anyway, their mini donuts desserts are amazing. Cooked-to-order-fresh donuts in a batch of 5's... mm mmmmm~! Any time my family decides to go is because of the donuts cravings and not necessarily for the food, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. read more

Our server Jake was very attentive but not overly hovering. The Mag Nachos were great! Very knowledgeable about the menu items

Our server was Abagail. She was wonderful! She was friendly and attentive and provided great service.

We come for dinner tonight and there was maybe 3 other couples in here so they wasn't busy, we order an appetizer and Smoked Wings and Salads, everything came out all at the same , and the Wings were burnt and some still had feathers on them. read more

Great food and service. Late dinner 14oz Hawaiian Rib-eye plus sides for my ladies, combo Spare Ribs and sides for me. Cold Beer - Summer Special and their house brew, plus an Angry Orchard. App was with Maple Pecan Butter. Sooo Good. They have a club you can accumulate points. We had a 10% discount with our room cards from the hotel. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. Seems like a good crew working. read more

They completely messed up our to go order AND served it up cold, and when we called about it, the manager promised "to make it right." It was a $52 meal and we tipped $10. Not only did they not make it right, the manager stringed us along for three months, promising to reimburse us, but they never did. I DO NOT recommend eating here. Worthless, dishonest, and unreliable. Judging by the reviews here and elsewhere, they obviously don't care. read more

Ashea was quick to take our orders. Food came out hot and tasty and our family really enjoyed it. Our server was courteous and always had a smile on her face. Great place! read more

Food was delicious and Hot. Our server Maggie was on top of it, kept our drinks filled, friendly, and prompt.

We were greeted I asked for a table. The hostess asked if a half booth/half table was acceptable and we agreed. We were taken to our table and seated. The hostess chatted with us about the window and proceeds to walk away without taking our drink order. We sat for nearly 10 minutes without being acknowledged. We could audibly hear someone in the back say the grill was broken. After no acknowledgement after 10 minutes we got up and left. The hostess told us to have a great evening. Really? There were maybe 10 patrons in the whole place and people standing around at the hostess station. No matter, we went to Dickey's and got better BBQ for less money. If there was a middle finger emoji I'd add that too. My boyfriend says you can smoke his bone Smokey Bones! read more
