    I have been trying get here for a long time, I called about 5 times over the last 1-1/2 years and since it's not close the no phone being answered killed some of those times. One time I asked if the ribs were ready and I was told one rack left so another no go. Yesterday I called and I was told that all the ribs would be available all day, yes I'm finally going to get the ribs. Please call your BBQ place first because the ribs are only available for dinner time at some places, FYI. Here's the bad sign, no smoke smell and that usually is not good so I would only do the half rack St Louis with two sides and play it safe. I learned a long time ago when I started my BBQ quest that BBQ comes in many different styles/flavors/ideas and opinions so I always keep an open mind even though I have my favorites and just report my experience. The place could be described as modern BBQ looking decor because the newer places seem to have rich color walls with the wood tables/chairs. The place is not filled with the hokey BBQ themed kitsch/cheesy pigs etc and just a nice casual place. The half rack of St Louis looked like non traditional BBQ because it had nice color/grill marks with no BBQ sauce and no bark really and no smokey smell. It looked more like Chinese BBQ with a cooked on glaze with out the deep reddish/brown color and smelled fuc%in amazing. The St Louis rack had the tips left on which I like and not all chopped up. The ribs were very tasty with a sweet flavorful seasoned taste which was more like Chinese BBQ. The texture was a little more chewy which I like because the super tender/mush fall off the bone is not my fav, this is very similar to Chinese BBQ which I like. The ribs had good flavor and no sauce was used, man these are really tasty I thought. It's sweet flavorful with a nice Char flavor that stands on its own and no way was I putting any sauce on them. My two sides was garlic mash and southern baked beans with a square of corn bread. The garlic mash was baby reds with good garlic flavor but overly seasoned and I'm not complaining. The southern baked beans were the least flavorful item but still good with pulled pork, onions, green peppers and black/brown beans, no can here because nothing was cooked to mush with the veggies having some crisp left in them. The BBQ sauce was not bad and on the tangy side which I'm going to use in something I make later. The corn bread was so moist/sticky/fresh, no saw dust puck here and if it were any moister/fresh it would be batter. Overall this was some tasty BBQ and even though its not Speed queen/Iron grate style but it still has its place for good ribs. If you want to expand your BBQ rib styles/tastes in the greater Milwaukee area than this is a must stop by, yah I'm a fan.

    a fork in a bowl of food

    Definitively not a BBQ place...I was looking forward to have some beef brisket and ribs which we did.Horrible from every aspect...not sure if this brisket is a new invention on how to make it ...super thin slices kept into a liquid to be worm and shoved into a large paper cup ,tasteless not smoked ...super odd ,the ribs where super dry and no taste at all don't think that the food is made on the site but more brought in ,they where put on the grill to warm them up .On the plus the staff was super friendly and accommodating.

    We stopped here as we were driving through town because I'm always looking for good barbecue. Yummy bones BBQ did not disappoint! The brisket sandwich was absolutely fantastic! The brisket was tender and unbelievably flavorful. If you're in the area this is definitely a place you need to stop in for.

    Pulled pork sandwich, cole slaw, and Mama Louise's Mac N Cheese at Yummy Bones in Port Washington
    Jennifer R.

    Theres some really good grub here at Yummy Bones. I made the drive to do some Small Business Saturday shopping, and will return because the 'cue was just that good! The best barbecue is served in humble surroundings and that was true here. The kitchen is wide open with servers taking turns ringing up orders and plating food. Simple rough-hewn benches that are ginormous and hefty add to the rustic apoeal of Yummy Bones. The advertised special of 60-cent wings drew me here, but once I gandered at the menu and took an inventory of how much poultry I had eaten in the post-Thanksgiving apocalypse I settled on the pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mama Louise's Mac N Cheese and coleslaw. One side comes with a sandwich but i was glad to pay for the extra side because prices were reasonable. My sandwich was thick and hearty. It was piled high with hunks of pork which I had to pull out of the sandwich a bit before I could manage with my hands. Straight up sans sauce it was delicious, rubbed and slow-roasted, a mark of good barbecue. I went to the serving area where 4 bottles of sauce were on hand, 3 tomato based and one mustard based. This seems to be standard in barbecue joints and I did the finger taste test. I think I hit upon a Kansas-City based sauce (I like sauce the way I like my men - rich, sassy and just a touch sweet) and it delivered so I added some to my sammy. Back at the plank table, I enjoyed my food coupled with a view of the harbor. The cole slaw was vinegar based and chunky, with good texture and crunch. I enjoyed it solo and on top of my sandwich. But oh holy wow, that mac n cheese. Who is Mama Louise? I want to meet her and learn how she so perfectly married cheese and pasta into comfort food perfection. Seriously I couldn't replicate that flavor to savor and I want to. So good. Good food is coming out of this humble little place in Port Washington and I will be back for more.

    Cashier's name is Madisyn.   She lost our order.  No apologies.  Needs customer service skills pronto.

    It doesn't matter how good the food might be, it is the customer service that will bring back your customers back again. We came in on a quiet Saturday afternoon hoping this place would live up to its high yelp rating. It did not. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. Orders seemed to coming pretty quick. Well except ours. We just ordered a pulled pork sandwich with mac n cheese and a wing platter with fries and baked beans. If I didn't say anything about our missing order no one would checked on us. I had to give them my receipt to make the order -- they have a POS. No apologies given by the staff. Food was average at best. Wings were small with no flavor, fries just over raw, corn bread and baked beans were the best and they were the sides. The pulled pork and mac n cheese are nothing to write home about. I would never recommend this place to anyone who visits Port Washington!

    See all

    Great service and BBQ! I had wings and rib rips, both were fantastic. My mom had the catfish sandwich and she enjoyed it a lot.

    Best Wings in Port! They smoke them and then grill to order. Perfect for any Bucks game!
