    I've been here 2 times and was very pleased both times. Service and establishment are fantastic, but I'm going right into food since there was a lot. For starters; Korean pork belly lollipops were great. Flavorful, tender, easy to eat. The smoked brisket chili was out of this world. I wish I got a bowl and not a cup. The Brunswick stew was good, but nothing compared to the chili. The stew was a little thinner than I would have liked, but it was tasty. For the mains; The brisket stuffed grilled cheese was really good. Good flavor and size plus the tomato bisque dip was tasty alone. The side of Mac and cheese was flavorful and not overcooked. The bonefire was a nice sampler. A little small for 2 people, but it was great to sample everything. I absolutely loved everything. This would be my highest recommendation if you've never been here before. For me, this is just a well-rounded restaurant that I'll come back to anytime I want this type of BBQ.

    Food was great , but the service was phenomenal, Anna our waitress was very up beat and very kind. We had just gotten done re-homing our dog and she was very understanding and offered to cover desert for me and my wife. Its not often to see someone with genuine compassion in the restaurant biz

    I had an incredible experience at the Smokey Bones during the RAMS game! Jacquelyn, our server and bartender, truly went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Her cheerful attitude, thoughtfulness, and courtesy brought so much energy to our night. She ensured my party had a fantastic time with delicious food and perfectly crafted drinks. Chris, the manager, was equally impressive. He greeted us warmly, shared excellent menu advice, and demonstrated exceptional hospitality. It was wings happy hour, and his attentiveness and customer-focused approach set a shining example of the amazing staff he leads. This spot is a true gem, conveniently located across from the Courtyard hotel. Whether you're looking for fantastic food, casual drinks, or just a good time, I highly recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Update... 9 years later — and still here!! Whitney & John behind the bar are worth 5 stars alone!! Jon the host is always a friendly face. Still giving them 5 stars .. top notch since day one! (04/04/25) Update... 6 years later from my original review below, and we’re still here!! (Literally! I’m here now! Lol). Still our favorite ‘home’ away from home! We’ve made so many friends here, that they’ve become family. Food is still top notch and the new add-ons to the menu never disappoint! Kim, Corrine, Jess, Kelsey, Margo, Shalea, Joe, Glen ... all amazing - you’ll be happy with whoever is working when you come in. Loves our Bones!! (12/23/22) ————————- (2016) Our favorite spot! We're there every Friday and have never been disappointed! Pretzel Bones and smoked wings are our go-to appetizers, and for dinner we'll usually get the Cuban, a burger, ribs, or the pork tenderloin. We try to switch it up sometimes with what we get for dinner, but we always come back because really anything you order is delicious. Kim, Ivana, Louis and Corrine have become like family and we recommend them to anyone looking for a great dinner & drink. We've also had them 'cater' (we get BBQ Party Packs) for 3 military events and they've always come through! Even people from down south were raving over the food! Gave us lots of extras and will always be our top choice for our casual events. Thanks guys, see you soon! :)

    Had a wonderful time with Christian at the bar! His personable, friendly service made our experience much more enjoyable and you can see he's clearly a hard worker. Cocktails were great and best wings around; 7 for 6 wings was an awesome deal and they're pretty large. Highly recommend sitting at the bar when Christian is working!!
