    Bo-Hawg Sandwich with Mac & Cheese
    Mike S.

    Had never been to any Bono's but the wife was craving BBQ and this location was right down the street our out house so we decided to finally give it a try. I called in our order. After looking over the menu I knew I had to try the Bo Hawg which is BBQ Pulled Pork topped with Cheddar Cheese and a Sausage Link. Ashley went with the Pick 3 Platter with Pulled Pork, St Louis Ribs, and Fatty Beef Brisket. We were told our food would be ready in 10-15 minutes. When I arrived to pick out our food was ready to go. Once home by Bo Hawg Sandwich looked pretty good. I will say I also kept it simple with my side of Mac & Cheese. The first bite of my sandwich was good. The Sausage was flavorful and had a good snap which I liked. The Pulled Pork on the other hand was pretty bland. I normally don't use BBQ Sauce on pulled pork but this for sure needed it. All and all the Bo Hawg was just alright. Maybe they were just having a off Pulled Pork day. As for Ashley platter it wasn't great. Again already touched up on the Pulled Pork, The St Louis Ribs were not great either. Pretty tough, bland, and for sure weren't fall off the bone. The "Fatty" Beef Brisket was sliced very thin and didn't have a lot of fat on it either again bland. I will say my Bo Hawg was probably 3 stars at best and the platter was 2. Probably not going to be going back to Bono's and will make the drive for better BBQ. On the plus side though their prices are pretty cheap so that's something I guess.

    Untouched coleslaw only 2/3 full

    This is our regular Bono's and very disappointed after getting takeout. Very rude and bad attitude by young lady taking my order. Baked beans were mush. Our guest left them on their plates they were so bad. Point of Cole slaw was only 2/3 full. We're had 7 adults. Pork was good and chicken. Our purchase was over $80 and I expect better. Since this is our favorite and regular Bono's, I am leaving this comment as a way to do quality control on takeouts and employee training. We will be back, but I will be looking at takeouts very carefully.

    I love that I can order food through the Yelp app and that Bono's offers delivery, pick up, or dine-in. We ordered a few slabs of ribs two sides and of course their delicious buttery toast. Enjoy how tasty the ribs are and how quick service is.

    I can see my ribs getting smoked in there :)

    St. Louis ribs are so tender, juicy, and delicious!! I enjoyed the sweet and tangy along with the smoking hot sauce the most. Catfish is crispy, soft on the inside but still maintain the fishiness and freshness, paired perfectly with toast and fries. Sides are quite delicous and very generous amount. My favorites are the green beans, collard greens and baked beans. I placed my order to-go, so I didn't get to enjoy the ambiance there but I do love the open space, plenty of seats and tables for big groups or parties. Service for pick up was a bit lacking, but they are under staffed so it's understandable. The cashier was very polite and knowledgeable, they messed up on my orfer but quickly corrected the mistake. I'm so glad Bono's is right in the heart of Bartram park, so close to where I live and there's plenty of parking.

    Got a to go order of the large pulled pork platter. Good portion sizes but very basic barbecue. The pulled pork is average pulled pork that didn't seem to have any seasoning and could tell. Service was quick preparing the food. The place had a nice clean interior.

    Well done fellas! All of our food was delish! Delish meats and sides! Will come again. Excellent garlic bread.

    Smoke wings
    Heather S.

    For a chain bbq restaurant, you can't beat Bono's. These wings are my favorite. Ran in for a quick lunch on a time crunch. This location is lightning fast for the lunch crowd. The servers are always super polite. I'm never gonna be a fan of the dingy decor, but that doesn't ever take away from the flavor of the great food.

The pork chop looked good, but it didn't seem seasoned, and there wasn't enough gravy on it to really be considered smothered. My husband's soda also had a strange aftertaste, which wasn't pleasant.

I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

    When I had a work trip for Jacksonville, I asked both my boss who was from Jacksonville and the…read moreoffice employees where they'd recommend to eat; this location was overwhelmingly suggested. Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite. Nonetheless, a great soul food stop if you are in the mood.

I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try.

Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!'
