Pulled pork sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Ben C.

I've been coming to this place since I was a kid and the place has plummeted bad. The food was lackluster and quite frankly, appalling. The mashed potatoes was a scoop and a teaspoon of gravy. The pulled pork sandwich was mediocre at best. The worst part about it all was the service. The Host was wearing a tattered zip up, nasty matted hair, muttered his words, and acted like we were a nuisance. The server wore his hat cocked to the side with an unidentifiable sweater on. He forgot silverware. The most basic things for people to eat with. Are we that lazy these days? The only thing that was nice was the smell of a campfire which is a suitable ambiance for Smokey Bones.

Shrimp and Grits

Denzel and Ryan are the best. They give good vibes. Amazing food, service, and music. I definitely recommend it. This is my new go-to restaurant. The picture shown is the shrimp and grits.

This place is ok and prior Yelpers nailed in pretty much. Service is ok. Appetizer sampler was good and nice portion. Food was ok. Steak was cooked perfect and had some good flavor but the sides were poor. Tacos are not recommended. Pulled pork looked good but not sure why they serve it on garlic toast. Full rack of ribs is a great portion. Tender but lacked much flavor without the extra sauce on the table. The smokehouse burger was cooked well and toppings were good but they put bbq sauce on the plate and then set the burger down. So the bottom bun falls apart very early in the experience. Good flavor though. Pretzels were ok.

Hot bag of donuts with chocolate and raspberry dipping sauce. Yes please!

See all

They have good and varied barbecue. If you don't want to cook, this is a great substitute.

Pigfoot BBQ - 3 ribs from Pigfoot

Pigfoot BBQ

(3 reviews)

First off, I'll state that this was the driest, most overcooked brisket I've ever had (and…read moreinevitably the worst overall), regardless of geographical location. Waited in line far too long, despite it not being nearly as busy as other places (this was at Rib Fest in Pittsburgh, BTW) and when I finally got to the head of the line the guy working behind the counter pretty much treated me as a fleeting thing and dumped a bunch of fatty meat and grease - there was literally a pool of grease in the container. Bad flavors, bad service. Terrible overall - if this place even tried to exist in a place like Austin it would be shutdown within a quarter due to competition. Nah the signs are misrepresentative of what this place has. So frustrating to go to a supposedly award winning BBQ place and it's literally the physical embodiment of a shart.

4.5 stars overall. Pigfoot BBQ & Rib Company travels throughout the United States and Canada to…read morecompete in rib festivals. At the Pittsburgh Rib Fest, my husband and I purchased a sample of three ribs from Pigfoot. The employees served us promptly and politely. My husband and I thought that the ribs tasted better than most of the other vendors' ribs. We would have preferred that the meat be more tender, but the ribs were a large size and contained lots of meat. According to Pigfoot's website, they sell additional foods such as pulled pork, BBQ chicken, beef brisket, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, and bottles of sauces.

I'd been curious about this place for a while as I frequent some of the nearby shops and saw that…read moreit was a locally owned spot in a sea of chain food establishments. If you're looking for a traditional BBQ joint, this isn't it. The concept is similar to that of a Chipotle where you choose a base and build a bowl with a variety of toppings, some BBQ related, some not so much. They do have BBQ plates if you want to go that route. I got a bowl with nacho chips and rice as a base. I added the brisket, some nacho cheese and a few other toppings. Overall the food was fine. Nothing really had a lot of flavor, but it wasn't bad at all. I tried the brisket on it's own, and it was tender, but again no flavor stuck out to me. I imagine you might be able to taste the meat better in a BBQ plate vs. the bowl. It was a good value though. I think my bowl came to $13 dollars and it was definitely a good amount of food. Good for two meals for sure. I also got a nutella cookie which was pretty good. It seemed homemade and had a lot of nutella in it. They had some bottled drinks but no soda fountain machine that I could see, which I thought was odd. The guy who took my order and put together my bowl was nice and they have a few tables for dining in. I tried to stay there and do a little work as I was waiting for my dog at the groomer, but he didn't know the password to the wifi.

Similar to Chipotle , pick protein, base, add one and sauces and type Can get quesadilla, burrito or plate. We went with smoked chicken plate and pulled pork.

He said the special was chicken parmigiana so I thought I'd try it. He brought us a very nice bread with a tasty butter and olive oil mix. I ordered the chopped salad that I absolutely loved! There were lives of cauliflower, different types of olives and a pickled red onion that wasn't over bearingly strong. The chicken parmigiana was tasty. Two patties if chicken over fettuccini. I noticed on the way out that eggplant parmigiana was also a special. I might've had that if I'd known. I will definitely come back on a Tuesday to try the eggplant. I might also come back to try their pizza. Nice place. Give it a try!!!

Greetings from…read morethe hostess was awkward because one of the servers came up and was telling her where to seat us. Unfortunately we had requested a booth and the server told the hostess to give us to the other server. You know this was in front of us? Food was ok, our server was very good and helpful. The bread service was a standout and the salads were good. Spumoni was excellent. Piccata was not getting an up vote! Meatballs were very good. Short wine list well priced. Not certain I would make this on the short list. Better choices. Seems like a Barbeque place that now serves Italian menu

There are a lot of pizza places in lake county that we like, but we come here for the "other"…read morestuff. Their new chicken tenders are amazing (think Raising Cane's but better, with similar but also better tasting sauce). Their fries have changed recently (were fair fries, then normal fries) so not a huge fan but they do have waffle fries that my husband likes. Boneless wings are perfect (since they have honey mustard unlike wing places which kills me since I only like honey mustard wings). I love that you can go in and sit down for a slice of pizza, wings, & a drink. Cheap place to hit up with friends. Great hours so you can eat late at night. Their pepperoni is crispy and great, so the specialty pepperoni pizza is the way to go to get all that extra pep. They have a variety on their menu. Hate getting just pizza since we eat it up so fast. Never had an issue with service since they first opened. Friendly workers that are fast & kind. I hope they stick around bc it is hard to find a pizza by the slice place that actually tastes good. They have more than just pizza/chicken too, but have yet to try everything. Sign up for their texts bc they often have coupons.
