We had a super meal at 3:30 today (Sunday). Place was busy when we arrived, good sign. Service was A+. We got the three meat plate, which comes with two sides. We added an extra side. Also got a Coke and two glasses of white wine. Total with tax but before tip - an extremely reasonable $46. Brisket: Good mix of lean and fatty. Bark was super. A. St. Louis Ribs: My fiancé loved them. They looked a tad dry to me. A- maybe. Jalapeño/cheese sausage: Nice texture, plentiful jalapeños. A-. Collard greens, broccoli, mac and cheese were all A's. There were two sauces on the table, both very good. The presentation - all of the items neatly arranged on a metal tray - was even thoughtful and appealing. Long before we were done she made me promise we would come back, which I readily agreed to. All in all a five star barbecue experience. And I lived in Texas for eight years. read more

Excellent bbq, service was good. I am looking forward to checking out prime rib on Saturdays. Hope it is good. read more

Wilke's 14 Bones Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Wow!!!Great BBQ!!Service was friendly and attentive!Some restaurants in Vero disappoint but not Wilke's!Added to our list of favorites!!And I thought it was a great value! read more

14 bones is one of my favorite places in Vero Beach to eat. As a result, my wife catered my 60th birthday party from there. The food was delicious and plentiful. They provided everything including: food, ice tea, ice, rolls, cutlery, etc. in addition to all that, at the last minute we realized that we didn't have any sterno for our serving trays. We called them and they gladly supplied 8 sterno's for $24.00, a very fair price. The food was delivered on time by the manager Brian. He was very helpful and my wife said he was also very helpful when she went in the restaurant to order the food. I would highly recommend this venue for a great dinner or for any catering needs that you may have. read more

I visited with a large group of adults and teens a few days ago. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated very quickly. We were greeted promptly by our server, who was friendly and efficient during our entire visit. We ordered corn nuggets for the table and they were delicious. I ordered the veggie wrap, which was filled with rice, mushrooms, grilled onions, and broccoli. They grilled the actual wrap as well, so it is nice and toasty. I didn't ask for a sauce, but I did enjoy the wrap with a little bbq sauce. Balsamic glaze would have also paired well with this wrap. My daughter ordered the brisket tacos and loved them. The salsa is a little spicy, so she ordered that on the side. The fries are thick, crispy, and well seasoned. The ribs, burger, wings, and buffalo shrimp were also loved by the table. The stand out side dishes, other than the fries, were the coleslaw and mac and cheese. We will definitely return on our next trip through Vero Beach! read more

Party of 7. Everything was 5 Star . Service, atmosphere ,price and most importantly quality and quantity . Ribs and brisket platter was phenomenal . I'll say probably best bbq place I've ever been too taking everything into consideration read more

This is a very casual BBQ place in Vero Beach, Florida. They have booths and tables (inside and out). They have a website, with the full menu. One can order ahead and pick up through a drive-thru. They offer turkey, chicken, pork and brisket bbq, as well as steaks, burgers, wings, salads and sandwiches. The bbq'd meats were quite good. I could even taste some spicy kick to their rub. Their mac and cheese side was a tad cold and the Texas toast was a bit limp, but all other sides were great. The staff is very attentive. Most of bbq items were reasonable, the steaks were priced considerably higher. We did appreciate that they put a QR code on the bill, so one can pay with their phone and then leave. We'd dine here again. read more

5 star! Beans are awesome . Had the sweet chili Thai ribs fantastic . Service was great . Do yourself a favor and stop in !

Been there several times, service was satisfactory. Their new menu offers a brisket sandwich, if you want 50% fat this is the sandwich for you. I inquired about the amount of fat... reply,order it lean next time. Learn something new everyday read more

Plump wings , great smoky ribs Red beans and rice side my fav Solid value for excellent food and really nice staff both dine in and takeout Happy to eat or takeout from there anytime read more

Excellent barbecue, reasonably priced. Always busy . People know where to go in Vero for consistency good que!

We ate here at the recommendation of the Disney Resort nearby and it was a great choice. They accommodated our party of 10 (including 3 kids) without blinking and everyone found something to their liking on the menu. The brisket was fabulous, sausage was excellent and ribs were flavorful (and the mac n cheese received high ratings too)!! Our server was patient and friendly, especially with our large, multigenerational group., When I called later to ask about a minor error on the receipt, they fixed it immediately and were super pleasant about it. So gracious and helpful! You'll be happy you stopped in when you're in the Vero Beach area! read more

Not the same as the past. Service not very attentive. Ordered 1/2 slab and ribs were very dry. They also seemed to have change the bbq sauce. Not as good as the last visits read more

My wife and I stopped by on Christmas Eve and had an amazingly wonderful experience-from the door with a friendly greeting, to our server who was quick and attentive the entire meal. The food was excellent. As a retired Military member, I have had some great barbeque-this one is very near if not the top! The meats were prepared perfectly and the side items were homemade quality. Excellent! read more

The food was not par. It did not taste well. The brisket was ok but I just tasted the sauce. The food in general looks appealing but it didn't taste that well. The service was really quick which I'm happy about, however we could implement some safety measures so that way these waitresses don't get hurt while carrying plates with bare hands. The ambiance is very good the music fits well with the restaurant and bathrooms are well maintained. read more

We have been customers of 14 Bones for years and we're never disappointed, until last Monday night. The food was not just ordinary and disappointing, it was bad. An order of Mahi Mahi was so dry it led you to believe you'd bitten into cardboard. The baked beans, which in the past were outstanding in flavor, were now less tasty than canned beans. Even the coleslaw tasted wrong. Others in the party of four had baby back ribs , which were also sub par. Not enough sauce during cooking and overcooked and dry. It left us all wondering what happened to our favorite BBQ since last year. read more

Ate here on several occasions while working in VB and never had a bad meal. Lunch or dinner, always high quality BBQ and top-notch service. Have had a couple sandwiches and a full meal, and always a great experience. Can highly recommend the Hawg Attack sandwich, the sausage in top really makes this stand out. Sauces are good, with a hot version available. My only complaint is that I was expecting a little more spice and flavor from the red beans & rice, which turned out to be rather boring. read more

Love the sides.... Great ribs and brisket. Always friendly service. The BEST country music playing in Vero Beach. Love it read more

Had dinner at Wilkes last night for the first time and it certainly will not be our last. We chose corn nuggets for an appetizer which came out piping hot, dusted with powdered sugar, and had two cups of honey mustard on the side. Delicious. For our dinners, hubby and I both chose the baby back rib combo with brisket. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and moist. Brisket was a dream! Tender, juicy and flavorful with a kiss of smoke. We saw many people getting mountain sized burgers and sandwiches that looked amazing and we can't wait to bring the whole family back to try a bit more. read more

Not bad. The food is good. Best rice and beans I've tasted from an American restaurant. The mac and cheese was way too salty, but it's white mac and cheese which is different and personally better. The sweet tea was perfect, not too sweet. The meat looked good and most said it was good. We had this catered to us and it was enough for everyone. read more

Been jonesin for some BBQ and I saw good reviews so I decided to try it. Used their online menu and ordered their small 2 meat meal. Got 2 ribs n pulled pork, baked beans n sweet potato fries. Their side choices are huge by the way. The ribs were tender but not as meaty as some, pulled pork was moist n delicious. BB's were tasty and the fries were good not great. Very pleased and happy with the food, definitely will go back and dine in next time! read more

Maybe this was a bad night but probably should give a 2. We had 2 small BBQ platters to go on 3/3 thru drive thru....1 platter had macaroni and cheese and the other platter had brunswick stew and collard greens.....On both platter we received the bbq they you would normally discard if smoking a pork. It was fatty and a little greasy. That went in the trash...I have ordered the brunswick stew a couple times before but this one was really thick and didn't taste good and it went in the trash....Collard greens are normally really good but had more pork than greens. The Texas Toast was really good. I dont't think I will try again as the time before wasn't very good but in the past I have had real good food so I tried again. Big mistake... read more

Wonderful BBQ We've eaten a lot of BBQ in the USA and this is some of the best we've eaten! My husband and I shared a whole rack of the Signature spare ribs (dry rub) and two sides (coleslaw and baked potato). The ribs were sensational - they were seasoned to perfection, succulent and the meat was falling off the bone. We enjoyed the sides and the house made sauce was delicious too! The other great thing about this place is that they real crockery and cutlery instead of the disposable stuff!! read more

Love, love, love this place! Great BBQ, very reasonable prices, good quantity, and great service. We stopped there on a quick trip through Vero. We were greeted and seated immediately. The service was great! The food came quickly. Pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich. Excellent! Both served with fries and choice of drink. The total was approximately $30 for 2 meals. Not bad for the quality and quantity, we did not leave hungry! Highly recommend! read more

The bbq was spot on and they know how to cook brisket! The ribs and chicken were very good as well. Memphis guy read more

1st time visit . Heard great reviews so decided to try them out . Ordered take out Full entree brisket Full entree pulled chicken First impression ( when I placed my order with young very inexperienced person ) was awful . Made us feel like they had better things to do than helping us pick the appropriate entree ... thumbs down ! but consider the age . Brought food home . The brisket entree contained 95 % fat ! Extremely disappointed ! Felt like who ever prepared my entree made sure he placed all the fatty pieces in my order . Full entree pulled chicken was cooked in some kind of stew . Awful tasting ! Not what I had expected , thumbs down ! Spent over $45.00 Will never visit this establishment again , sorry ! read more

Excellent barbecue meals for a fair price and excellent service for online ordering and pick up. I have never had a meal inside Wilke's 14 Bones, only online order and pick up and it is great. Just do not use DoorDash for home delivery you will end up paying for food you do not get. read more

Very decent BBQ. Sides are great. Sauces are the star of the show. Service is fantastic. Good drink menu as well. I try to go often.

First time for dinner. You walk in the door and it smells amazing and the staff are very nice. This is a restaurant that has a bar in it. Enough choices for beverages because that's not really why we are here. We had 1/2 racks and sides of collard greens, rice & beans, fried corn on the cob, coleslaw, and green beans. Lots of food and all very very good. It all came with a toast which was good but we left the majority of the bread to focus on the rest. We thought the service was good, background music was good and the prices weren't out of line. We will definitely come back. read more

My parents invited me to this place and I have to say even though my ribs had a char taste to them, like charcoal taste because they had maybe been left to long or the flame was to high. The meat fell right off the bone and the sauce helped. But I took several ribs to go and had them 2 days later and I was impressed they still had great flavor. I'm definitely going to go back and try them out again. Could have been an off night. read more

The service was fantastic. Our server was attentive and went the extra mile. Obviously the place lacked ambiance because they had the door open and you could hear the traffic on us one. The ribs are definetly their claim to fame, as they should be, but every other food item was not good. The coleslaw tasted like they dumped a sugar bowl in it. The pork sandwich was very dry. My friend Korean pork which was tough and not etible. Our server made it right and made the experience good. read more

The food was average. I had the half rack of ribs, baked potato and Mac n cheese. The baked potato was uncooked hard. The BBQ. Sauce was excellent. The Mac n cheese was good. The ribs were cooked well except they still had the silver skin on them. They were just average. read more

Food was really yummy I had the champion burger and it came out very fast but the best part of the meal was how nice and efficient Liz was.

I've eaten a lot of ribs over the years, and I think the ribs I just had rank as the worst ever. They were over cooked and the meat so dry it may as well been jerky. I tried 14 Bones years ago and they were mediocre. Thought I'd give them another taste and regret the money spent on a meal that was bare edible. read more

We had dinner there today. My silverware had dried food stuck on it. My husbands 1/2 rack of baby back ribs was so tough he could hardly get them off the bones. Our friend had the big burger which was so greasy he couldn't hold it..plus when he took his silverware out it had hair in it. Had checked comments before going and were hopeful it would be a pleasant tasty experience. Will not return or recommend. read more

We enjoyed our first visit to Wilke's 14 Bones. The service was prompt & friendly, the menu offered a lot of choices and the food was very good. We especially enjoyed the BBQ sauce options at the table and we ate the dessert so fast we forgot to snap a photo! read more
