We are in town visiting family. We stopped at this restaurant for lunch, as it's close to our hotel…read moreand had decent reviews. We live in Missouri, where we have both St. Louis and Kansas City BBQ. We love BBQ. The server was polite and checked on us a few times. 1) plate one was beef brisket, potato salad and slaw. The slaw tastes like any ole slaw you'd buy at the grocery store. It was good but nothing special. The potato salad wasn't bad but it didn't have very much flavor. Basically tasted like boiled potatoes and mayo. The brisket was probably 70% fat. Each slice was over half fat. Even the pieces that looked like meat, had the texture and taste of fat. The picture that looks like a full plate, that was after I finished eating. I couldn't punish myself anymore than that. I posted a picture of the empty plate (we boxed up the leftovers to give to my mom's chickens) to show how much fat/grease was leftover. The other pictures show dry plates but that wasn't the case for me. 2) plate two (not pictured as it wasn't my meal) was half a rack of ribs, green beans and French fries. The ribs were tough and lacking in flavor. We are used to fall off the bone ribs. The kind where you can pull a rib and it comes out of the meat clean. We had to use a knife and fork to cut the ribs and then chew on them for what felt like forever. They also came out lukewarm and were cold by the third rib. The green beans also lacked flavor and left quite a bit of fat/grease/butter in the bowl after. The fries were also not seasoned at all. TLDR: nothing was seasoned, the food was lukewarm at best and there was enough fat/grease to clog the arteries of even the healthiest person.

I have a bone to pick with Smok N Bonz. I really loved the waitresses as they were friendly and…read moreattentive. However I just did not like the food. I've been twice now and have had the St. Louis Ribs, Baby Back Ribs, brisket, and pulled chicken. The ribs had no flavor, had pieces of gristle or cartilage in the meat, and had a boiled taste. We asked the server if they seasoned the meat and she was surprised that we didn't taste anything. The chicken was better. Dry of course but had that clear smoky flavor I was hoping everything would have. The brisket was probably the worst brisket I've ever had. While it looked okay, it was bland and flavorless and was totally dry while at the same time pooling in grease (or the water it must have been boiled in). See photo. The sides were all fine. Fried okra, Mac and cheese, and slaw. And I loved the table side barbecue sauce! But even a bath of that couldn't save the meat. I really want to return to support the staff at Smok N Bonz, but I just can't keep going to a barbecue place where I can't eat the meat.

Sushi... in Sweetwater? Yeah, I was skeptical too…read more When your friends in a town of less than 7,000 say they're craving sushi, you smile, nod, and quietly prepare your taste buds for disappointment. But hey--sometimes you just have to roll with it (I'll see myself out). We ordered a bunch of rolls to share and... what?! They were actually really good. Super fresh ingredients, rice that was seasoned like someone actually cared, balanced flavors, and that magical combo of creamy, crunchy, and chewy. Honestly, we were impressed--and kind of shocked. The vibe? Meh. The lighting was doing weird things (don't blame us if our food photos look like they were taken on Mars). Service was friendly, but here's the twist: we wanted more sushi, but the chef was apparently tired. At 7pm. On a Thursday. Meanwhile, across the street? People are partying like it's 1999--dancing, drinking, singing karaoke. That's some potential sushi business just walking right on by. Bottom line: weird lighting, sleepy sushi chef, great rolls. For a tiny town? This place punches way above its weight. BTW, there are two Yelp entries for this business

Got to the point where the owner told the server to tell us to pretty much not come back so that's what we'll be doing. We love sushi, ramen and pho and have had it all in many cities including Denver, Phoenix and Nashville. This is a place that will likely phase out and someone who understands giving the customer what they want will replace them with quality and care.

We went on a little adventure tonight. We were staying in the middle of nowhere Tennessee and…read morewanted some sushi. We found this place on yelp, but it was closing in an hour and it was a 40 minute drive from our hotel so we hopped in the car. While we were driving we were pulling up the menu and trying to call to order. The first call did not go well and we lost it altogether. The second call, we were trying to order and got to a roll the worker didn't recognize and we were like okay, just the others. We pull in 2 minutes before they close, only to discover the phoneline had cut out again and they didn't have our order at all. We talked for a minute realizing there had been a misunderstanding on both sides. That Roll we were trying to order? We were looking at a menu for another restaurant with the same name. The guy offered to make us some rolls, and we said no because clearly they were trying to clean up and get out of there. He ended up making us some rolls anyway! He probably doesn't know it but he absolutely saved our night and kept an hour drive from being wasted. These folx were so kind, went above and beyond, and the food was GOOD. If you are in the area you should stop by and ask for the Sexy Girl roll. It's not on the menu, but I bet it will be soon!
