    Our visit to Smokey Bones was pretty solid! First off, I was blown away by the sauce selection with so many options, and each one has a different kick. Mustard bbq, KC bbq, Chipotle bbq & Carolina mopping sauce The vibe was lively and fun, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Service did slow down a bit, but with a game on and the place packed, it was understandable. The food itself was unforgettable. The mac and cheese was absolutely to die for, rich and creamy. The Morning Glory Burger with the egg was a flavor bomb of amazing! I was hesitant but the mix was spot on. And the Brisket Stuffed Grilled Cheese? Just insane. I honestly can't tell you which one to pick because you won't go wrong with any of them! Can't wait to come back and try even more from the menu.

    Food

    Sara is an excellent server! She kept giving us Sodie pops and we LOVED it!! This is a wonderful place and our server made it even better!

    Very small portions. All good except chicken breast. Ribs taste good but must have came off a big rat. Smallest rack I've ever seen.

    We were visiting Springfield and looking for a place for dinner and found Smokey Bones which was a few blocks from our hotel. Our server Jeff was great, answered questions we had about the menu, refilled our drinks as soon as our glasses were empty! Food was delicious and big portions. We started out with onion rings for an appetizer. For dinner we had the house ribs with cornbread and loaded baked potato and smoked turkey BLT and loaded baked potato. If you are looking for a great place for dinner try Smokey Bones you won't leave hungry!!

    I used takeout for this restaurant while traveling for work. Place is ok, definitely not the worst but definitely not the best bbq I had. The highlight of the show was the Chipotle BBQ sauce, the cornbread and the jalapeño sausage.

    Smokey Bones is a busy place. This is a great barbecue place. You know you are about to get some smoked food. The wings are great. I was there with my coworkers. They enjoyed other menu items. I would say this is a must visit place. The ambiance is nice. The decor is on point for a barbecue restaurant. The service was great. The server checked on us often. I was told that they ran out of wings that I wanted to try. However, they made it for me anyway. I was fine with trying something different. But the chef prepared it for me they way they use to make it. I enjoyed my wings. I had 2 types of barbecue sauce. The fries were good. If i go back I'll try something different. My coworker enjoyed the ribs. We were in Springfield on business and the restaurant was close.

For the buffet, you pay first then find a table. OK, just don't chit-chat so much -- take the money and move on to the next party. We paid and found a table -- boy, it is loud in there!! We headed to the buffet. Scrambled eggs were in the first container. OMG, they looked terrible!! Scrambled eggs are not supposed to be brown!! Thankfully, they had an omelet/eggs to order station so I was able to get scrambled eggs that were correctly prepared. The bacon was under-cooked and the sausage was tasteless. Cottage fries were ok. All of the breads and pastries were probably from Sam's. Coffee and juices were included in the price and the orange juice was good. You could order Bloody Marys or Mimosas for more $$$ but we stuck with coffee and juice. For the price, I would not go back. The buffet was kept re-stocked and the staff on the floor were friendly, but it just wasn't what I was hoping for on Mother's Day!

Tanja brought us some pita bread and carrot salad to start. That was complementary. We had a couple of cocktails from the bar, which were very good. We next had the Cigar Borek, which were little cheese rolls with a spicy tomato dip that was outstanding! We then ordered the beef doner wrap, which was just delicious! The beef they use for this is really tender and delicious. We cannot wait to return to this lovely Ugly Restaurant. :)

One of the reasons I love Mediterranean food is its use of spices and infused flavors. A complimentary carrot salad mixed with yogurt was served with warm pita bread. This was not good, frankly, and was the start of what would end up being an underwhelming experience. I ordered the mixed sampler platter for an appetizer. The only thing worth eating was the falafel and the cigar borek (fried breaded cheese). My entrée was the chicken shish kabobs that were accompanied by rice, a small chargrilled tomato, a chargrilled pepper and an onion salad. The chicken lack any kind of seasoning. Even salt would've help. This was probably the most bland Mediterranean food I've ever experienced. The presentation was grade A but the lack of flavor resulted in a Grade C. Even the baklava was bland. For $60 (including tip) I could've had a much more fulfilling meal.
