I had Bone Daddy's years ago and remembered good things so wanted to try it again. So off went me and my mom for an early dinner. Walked in and the atmosphere m/decorations were exactly what I remembered from my precious experience (at another location, now closed). Hostess was friendly and we were seated and greeted by our server quickly. Now on to the food. Ehh unfortunately not what I remember hence the 3 stars and probably explains why most locations have closed. The wing appetizer was the best thing we had for the night, but even that wasn't perfect as during the grilling process they unfortunately left some wings on too long which resulted in a charred look and burnt taste. The ribs taste as if they were boiled and the brisket and sausage didn't have anything special. And they were not hot. Edible yes, something I would run back to get ehhh probably not. read more

Such a fun establishment to visit, when in Texas, especially if you're with the family and/or large party. Upon arrival, the restaurant building and its outdoor aesthetics lend to the overall customer experience. (Take a group photo!) Upon entering the establishment, you are met with a continuation of the theme: artwork, decor, and more! Our party of 12 was quickly accommodated and we were able to get our food and drinks in a timely manner. The food was decent; we all ordered different items and enjoyed the fare--family style. read more

Like their baby backs. Mix bbq sauce in the beans to give them a little kick. The faux friendly waitresses are good for the ego and generally give good service if you're a regular. Love the queso. Unfortunately this location caught fire and has yet to reopen. read more

First time at this location and initially ordered the chopped brisket sandwich & fries from the happy hour menu... The sandwich had a substantial amount of butter which altered the taste. Food was exchanged for the wings and I was then charged the full price instead of the happy hour rate. Talked to Miguel, the Mgr to fix the ticket and he refused. Will not return to this location. Ambiance- loud (too much for my liking). read more

Spoke to Julian yesterday who indicated "Well I just can't give you your money back like that," asking if I would send him an email to describe my experience. I did, along with the pictures that I attempted to share here. No word. It's almost as if he could not be bothered. I will NEVER patronize this establishment again. read more

Kind people but crappy service. Burnt ends Nachos were delicious! And the serving was HUGE! 3-4 people could enjoy! Wings did not get eaten and we never leave a wing behind. Cool atmosphere! Strange lighting as folks are really into taking photos everywhere they go. read more

First time to Bone Daddy's, but it will not be our last! Hey Fellow Foodies, why hasn't someone taken me to Bone Daddy's before now? I will admit I've seen it many times but for some unknown reason I had not stopped by until now. To say the decor is eclectic, is down playing the eclectic'ness of this place. They had a car grill molded into the garden brick wall. And shoes filled with glitter stuck to the wall, right beside a telephone post. I could hardly control my ADHD.......I was in overdrive. I was like I would like a beer and suddenly thought "Squirrel". After taking in the sights we placed an order of their Hoot and Hooty's Queso (rich melted cheeses, spices and a mound of pulled brisket) with chips. I think I could have sat they all afternoon and a entire meal from that alone......but you know we didn't. We had more: we had to try the BBQ Platter with prime sliced brisket and peppered turkey with fries, fried okra, Mac-n-cheese and potato salad, Smokehouse salad with burnt ends, smoked bacon with chopped tomatoes, fresh greens, cheese and jalapeño dressing AND the Bone Daddy's original Barbecue Sauce. As you can see from the pictures below we were more that pleased with our FIRST experience at Bone Daddy's., and while we were too full to do anything after we left the restaurant but go home and rub our bellies until we fell asleep, I will say the following morning we were already discussing what we would try on our next visit.

Went for a late dinner and trying something new. Service was great. The hostess and our server Fatima were really nice. Always checking to make sure we were ok and had what we needed. Our food was wonderfully seasoned and full of flavor. Not sure if I loved the chicken or the brisket more! I have to go back to try the beer can chicken and burnt ends next! The beer is ice cold - which is great. I'm ready to go back! read more

Overall I would describe this as a middle of the road chain barbecue place. I went with my coworkers for lunch and it was just okay. Our waitress was fantastic, hate that I didn't notate her name because I always like to recognize the really good ones but the service was great. It was really mostly the food that was underwhelming. The potato salad wasn't that good and the burnt ends were okay but not my favorite. The okra was really good though. All in all it wasn't anything to write home about but it was fine for lunch. read more

Bone Daddy's - Smokehouse Salad - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

It's been a long time since I've been to bone daddy's, but this most recent visit reminded me why. It's a tradition for me and my daughter to eat out on Wednesdays. When we arrived at the location there was no wait, which I loved. But they seated me and my 7 year old daughter in a high top booth in the bar. The tables were so sticky the menus stuck to the table. After 5 mins or so our server Linda greeted us. I asked if we could move to a lower booth and she accommodated us with no problem. Fast forward to when our food arrived. I ordered a hot link sandwich, fry's & beans. The sandwich and the fry's were cold, but the beans were HOT. Linda stopped by 2 mins after we got our food and asked how it was. I advised her it was okay, because I didn't want to complain the day before thanksgiving. I attempted to eat the sandwich any way, but after two bites I was disgusted. Linda returned 10 mins later and I informed her of my dissatisfaction. Her whole demeanor changed and she asked if I wanted anything else and I politely declined. 5 minutes later the "New" GM Julian and Linda approached the table. They argued me up and down that food wasn't cold. Linda also got really snappy and stated she asked me multiple times if I liked it, when she only asked once. I told the GM I'm not understanding how a customer being dissatisfied because an argument, I honestly just wanted them to be aware. After 5/7 mins of going back and forth and the GM trying to coach me into saying what he wanted me to, they finally stopped. Julian then stated " since nothing was really wrong, I'll Give you 50% of your meal". I said thank you and they left. Not once did anybody apologize or professionally accept the feedback. I then waited an additional 7/10 minutes to receive my check. After I asked for the corporate number at the host stand. The host stated she would get the manager. Julian approached me and stated " we do not have a corporate number and the only person above me is the owner". He then proceeded to say all complaints etc for all three locations go to his email. I said okay, thank you. I called a different location and the GM provided me with corporate number in 2 minutes. This whole experience was unnecessary,unprofessional & frustrating. I attempted to call corporate multiple times and no answer. The VM is also full, which lets me know somebody isn't doing their job. As far as Julian, he needs to be retrained. Customer dissatisfaction should not be uncommon in his position and the way he handled it was unprofessional. *All cameras should support everything stated* read more

I have been coming to this restaurant since I moved here in 2011 There are so many great restaurant choices in this area and yes, this is still the go-to! The brisket queso and chips are always is delicious. I've had the salads, the three meats, the chicken fried chicken..everything on the menu and it's all always good. Don't get me started on the max and cheese and green beans...ugh! Sooo effin good! The servers are more times than not very friendly and helpful. Even on the rare occasion a waitress is rude or moody it doesn't matter lol cuz the food is always on point and that's what matters. I will forever dine here read more

I don't even know where to start. This place was such a nice place to go to. Today my husband and I went for lunch just because we were in the area. The food has gone downhill... so sad. The service is so relaxed that the servers are busier socializing than attending to you. Yet, you still get a bill with the opportunity to tip. The dress code of the employees went out the window. Maybe they had in mind to replicate coyote ugly. It may work for some but not for others. I would say if the food was good, you would probably oversee anything else but unfortunately... the food sucks as much as the service. The average plate is $17 and yet, still sucks. read more

Bone Daddy's looks like a great place to have a fun time with family and/or friends! I'd love to see what the atmosphere here would be like when things get more back to normal. The interior is eclectic and fun. It was a little quiet inside when I went, presumably because of the coronavirus. I definitely want to go back again when things are back to normal and experience it again. As for the experience I had there, it was great! I thought the food was delicious, while the drinks were cheap, large, and tasty! We all got some of the burgers, and I thought that mine tasted incredible. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, very generously sized that filled me up, and a good amount of toppings that doesn't over-power it but isn't too little either. Just the right amount for all of it, which I always love! There were a ton of great drink options for mules and margaritas, all very cheap and very large! This is always another huge plus for me! The service was also very friendly and quick. They were all very attentive, helpful, and the food was out in no time at all. I love the interior atmosphere and decor, the servers, the food, and I look forward to coming back again in the future. It looks like it's really fun when it's crowded! read more

This was my first and last time going to bone daddy's. Went there to support my friend and the service was horrible and the food was tasteless. There was a party of us but when we requested things that we did not receive we were giving nasty attitudes. One waiter kept putting more and more water cups on the and there was only a table of 4 of us sitting there and we we told her she seemed annoyed. There was only one nice waiter and she took our payments at the end but the rest of the waiters were ruin. Our food came out lukewarm and there was hair in my mashed potatoes which the nice waiter did take back for me. Only gets two stars cause of the one nice waiter with long black hair. Food was not worth the wait. read more

Barbq is excellent and the waitstaff is very friendly. The cheesy potatoes are really good as are the onion rings. Wish they had barbq chicken breast but it seems very few places in Dallas offer that. ‍ But this is a good place to check out even if it's just for the decor. read more

Food is good but service was even better! Thank you Liz (manager) and Braelyn (our server) for your beautiful smiles and absolutely great personalities along with your patience on that CRAZY after Cowboys/Niners game evening. I witnessed Liz being talked to in a rudely manner by a customer, she held herself in a very professional way with her smile and did everything she could to accommodate that lady. I was totally impressed, especially in the times we're living now. And Braelyn was equally friendly, she was so busy up and down those stairs but not once did she have an attitude with us nor the tables around us. I'll be back just because of the service, food is always better with people like these two ladies Signed, One appreciative customer read more

Poor customer service! So I placed an order for pick up on Tuesday December 28th 2021 around 5pm ... using www.bonedaddys.com I had three meals to collect:- (two) 2 meats and 2 sides and (one)3 meat and 2 sides with an estimated pick up time of 525pm - 530pm. I arrived around 5.30 pm and the bag was already waiting on the shelf ... I got my bag and left. When I made it home and opened the bag , I saw that they made an error with one of the orders (the 3 meat order)..... instead of getting bone in chicken , wings, bone in chicken .... I got ribs and sliced brisket. I immediately called the restaurant at 6.15pm and spoke to a young lady and informed her what happened. She advised me that when I come in next time to tell someone and they will take care of it I was like are you sure that's it ... don't I need a name of someone or something ... she proceeded to tell me that all I needed to do was walk with my receipt and that I should tell someone what happened and they will take care of it... I was like ok and hung up. Fast forward to today Wednesday December 29th 2021 aka THE NEXT DAY!!! I went in as advised with my paper receipt that was attached to the bag AND also the email confirmation of the order. I spoke to the greeter / hostess and told her what happened and that the person on the phone last night told me to come with the receipt. She took my receipt and went to the back to speak to someone... that someone then came and spoke to me and let me know that they can't do anything for me because no one reported any errors in pick up orders the night before and because I didn't have the name of the girl who I spoke to on the phone... basically I was at a dead end. She told me that the receipt has DoorDash printed on it , so maybe I can ask for a refund from them. I told her I don't have a DoorDash account ... that I used the Restaurants's website directly to place the order. She then said that their orders come through DoorDash and they have no way of seeing payments etc ... that's fine if that's how that third party system works .. we can't change that, but the thing is I never wanted a refund.. all I wanted was to get my correct food. At that point ... as a Supervisor/ Manager / whoever you are... you were to make a decision and comp me my correct order, even if you don't have access to payments from Doordash. I am standing there with a paper receipt and my email confirmation showing you that I paid for my food. I was not about to fight down a $23.21 meal...and please note the wrong order WAS NOT eaten... I had it in the car today to give it back. I just told her it's only $20... don't worry about it and left. I am the type of person who doesn't argue over anything ... I will simply say ok and just not return. Three things I don't play around with is my family, my food and my money. Sooooo I will not be returning... I don't have time for nonsense. After being a customer for a few years ... my time to part ways was today. Maybe some proper training for your staff who answer phone calls should be a start, so they can give correct information to customers. read more

I hate to write this review because I love Bone Daddy's but yesterdays (4/13) experience was too bad not to share. Upon walking into the restaurant it was hot, I understand it was 104 outside but your restaurant should have working AC. It was at that point that we should've left but again I like the restaurant so we stayed. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich which was Backyard Chicken Sandwich. It seemed to be re-warmed and tough and the fries were served cold. He sent the fries back for a fresh batch and they brought them to the table rewarded again, but even re-dropped into the fryer but warmed up. Eventually he just gave them back. I ordered the Big Chop Salad and the greens and tomatoes seemed as if they had been sitting out, not crisp and chilled as they should've been. The waitress offered to take money off the check but she didn't and we left a small tip (which we really shouldn't have) Overall very disappointed with Bone Daddy's and probably won't be back for a while. Notice that the person from Bone Daddy's didn't even offer to do anything to make me want to come back...these restaurants are beginning to act entitled. Smh read more

Ate lunch at Bone Daddy's in Arlington, TX and the food was amazing! The BBQ sauce was sweet and tasty. The sweet sticky pork ribs were tasty. We were also given warm, wet towels to clean our hands following eating the ribs. The yeast rolls made me think of my Grandma who used to cook yeast rolls. The potato salad and coleslaw were very tasty but the mack & cheese were out of this world. The green beans were so-so. Our hostess Victoria was the best hostess ever. She was attentive, knowledgeable, made suggestions and a very good conversationalist when making menu suggestions. Overall, RECOMMENDATION: If you are ever in Arlington, TX you should stop by Bone Daddy's BBQ! read more

The neon lights are what first got my attention from the fwy, so I decided to finally give it a go! We were seated and it took about 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge our existence. A nice bartender took notice and came over, she offered an apology and a free delicious queso n chips. The ribs were tasty with a hint of sweetness to them, the sides were ok, the brisket I had was dry. All n all it wasn't the best first impression of a restaurant, and most certainly not the worst either. I'd probably give it one more try, and order something different. read more

Restaurant is so cold by the time all our food delivered to our table it was cold as well. The only warm thing was the house bbq sauce. Mentioned to the waitress how cold it was and she replies all the waitresses are freezing. Manager manage the inside temp. I carry a fan in my purse bc I'm generally warm but never had to use it. Waitress also never asked if we wanted another drink. Never apologized or acknowledged the cold food. We are big tippers. NOT TODAY! read more

Cool atmosphere with energetic servers (even after they required their wait-staff to put some clothes back on.) Surprisingly some healthy food options here. The beer can chicken is money (and healthy) - we also love the BBQ wings appetizer (Less healthy with the sugary sauce) Go ahead and man-up on the 20oz Ribeye $34.95. The entire Arlington Highlands is hella-crowded on the weekends - this place a bit less-so and fairly manageable for a get-in / get-out meal on the weekends. read more

Love the service great people good energy always smiling and doing a great job bone daddy's is the spot to be at

I think Bone Daddy's should be higher than 3.5 stars! While they're not fine dining, they put out some pretty dang good barbecue. They have great ribs - they're not fatty at all and very tender! If you love mac & cheese, you must try theirs! It's everything you want in mac & cheese - gooey, creamy and cheesy! Their coleslaw is made fresh, it's not your typical soggy cabbage. The waitresses are always on top of their game and friendly. There really isn't anything I can say that's negative - overall great dining experience. read more

Zero stars if possible. Whoever the two girl hostesses were on 9/30 between 8pm-10pm HUNG UP mid sentence on me. I ordered a 3 meat platter online an HOUR ahead. I come and get it, why am I missing pulled pork? I explained I picked up my online order 20 minutes ago and I'm missing meat and she hung up. Already disputing on my card. But absolutely not worth recommending. Meat is dry, Mac and cheese is a glorified Bob Evans and banana pudding is 7/11 grade. Not to mention the fries are a sorry excuse. read more

Ok we are done going here. 4 times in a row now Bad service. We are not hard to please really, but when your server does not come up for 15 min, The Bartender had to apologize MULTIPLE times for her, and ultimately did all the work. We even gave most of the tip to the Bartender. But the final straw was we told the waitress (the one time we saw her) My wife has a Dairy allergy. We did our best to look online for what might have Dairy on it, but there menu is so not 2024, NO listing of calories and you cant look at the ingredients. My wife has been sick (all symptoms she gets when she has Dairy) from the moment we left.). To me, this all points to terrible management, no way that many people can be bad at their jobs unless they are not led correctly. read more

Always have a great meal here. Drinks are great and they have the best fried okra around. Will def be back.

Round two! The service last night was great. We sat in a booth by the bar. Samantha was our main server but she was working in a kind of tag team situation with Hannah. They worked really well together to keep our table covered. Sometimes sitting around the bar in a restaurant feels risky, like there's no dedicated server. That's definitely not the case at Bone Daddy's. Samantha and Hannah were so on top of everything. They stopped by often (but not too often) and brought the random things we asked for immediately. We both tried some new items on the menu and the food was still amazing, as expected. Samantha and Hannah were a big part of the whole vibe and we felt very lucky to have them. I've never seen two servers work together so flawlessly. We'll absolutely be back and not just because they're open until midnight, although they've already bumped two other restaurants out of our late night rotation. read more
