Worst place to come too!!! I came for Mother's Day and we had a two hour wait for food that wasn't even good and our server was the worst and forgot to put in my food so my family ate and got done before my food even came !!!!0 outta 0 stars read more

Keith was an excellent server. He provided comic relief creating a relaxing family oriented ambiance. The food was seasoned especially those wings. read more

Food is amazing. BOGO deal was awesome. Had a great server. Will definitely go back again.

Service was lousy ,prices were to high and food was sub par. Will not recommend that plave to anyone.

I went here for a business lunch and I was impressed! Great lunch pricing and portions. I had the bbq bowl; Mac n cheese, beans, pulled pork....it's so good! I Will be back for dinner soon read more

We were our servers only table. We ordered an appetizer and 2 entrees. She wrote it down. 25 minutes she brings out our entrees and I asked why we didn't get our appetizer. She said she forgot to order it. She said she'd put it in now. We said never mind. You need to look up the meaning of appetizer. And for $33 I had the worst toughest ribs I've Beverly had. Never going back. read more

Not closed but bad service. Food is ok and ambiance is non-existent. There are better restaurants surrounding them. Gave them two tries but officially done. Maybe another location will prove differently but maybe a long time from now. read more

Came here for early dinner with my aunt. Food was good and came out fast. Our service Aubrey was amazing and was attentive. She was super sweet and knowledgeable! Definitely will come back! read more

Ribs were on point ! Gabby G is a waitress that every restaurant should have. Lived how other servers would help each other out and clear plates. Definitely coming back and requesting Gabby G !! read more

I would go and get the giant nacho plate again any time! That being said the toppings are what made it, you would hope for a more flavorful meat from a bbq joint. Nothing was terrible, service was good, restaurant is new and clean. read more

I tried to order online from the Avon location, however they were not yet capable. I called to place my order... 2 of the $99.99 BBQ Party Packs. Because I could not order online, I was not able to see the options other than the description (3 meats, 2 sides). I was not aware of all the upcharges for various items. What should have been about a $200 order, ended up $270 with the upcharges! Okay... lessen learned. But how was the food and was it worth the upcharges? I would have to say no. The baby back ribs (+$26 upcharge) where very tough, Mac/cheese (+$5).... Dry and bland, brisket (+$20)....fatty and the dry rub was very salty. The pulled pork and pulled chicken weren't bad but they weren't great either. The Turkey was almost shaved. The wings actually looked promising. The roasted corn left people guessing what exactly was in it besides roasted corn. The slaw and beans were adequate. I noticed buns were not included. I was told they did not include buns with their pulled meats. I could understand that if I ordered just pulled meats by the pound. However in a "BBQ Party Pack" they should be included. I was told garlic bread was included.... Why? Who is going to make a sandwich with garlic bread? The small Inconvenience of having to stop at Kroger to buy buns would cause me not to order from Smokey Bones again. It's the little things that make a difference. The styrofoam containers leaked. Juices from the pulled meats puddled in the bottom of the bags. It was quite messy and all the containers needed to be wiped off and the silverware packs were covered and needed to be tossed out .....another inconvenience. With another BBQ restaurant just down the street, Smokey Bones did not give me any reason to come back. I gave Smokey Bones a chance and the general consensus of the all who ate today was the food was mediocre and way overpriced compared to City BBQ. read more

This is a follow up to my first review that came out completely mixed up in the entire review. I apologize about that. First I I'd like to start by saying that this was my first time ordering from Bones and I couldn't have been any more disappointed I decided to reroute instead of ordering off the main menu I said I'll just order some sisides and just to give it a try and luckily I'm glad I did the sides were the corn that was very dried out and very hard to and I also ordered the greens that were cold and very greasy and I ordered the corn rolls or cornbread rolls that were very hard and did not receive any butter or anything to to go with them so they basically they were just bricks and then I ordered a large glass of sweet tea and they sent me two small glasses of unsweetened tea and the rest of the menu items that I ordered were just nondescript non-tasting just as Bland as they could be in any end up spending over $25 just on sides if just by going by the side menus items that I pick I would have hate to have wondered what the actual food was probably tasted like on that night so no I would not recommend this place just on my first experience but I do look at the other reviews and I see that a lot of people seem to like it so maybe possibly in the future all here to try one more time but for now that was my experience and that is my recommendation that no I do not recommend coming here for a meal. read more

This has become my go to spot in Avon. I usually dine alone (don't judge) so I post up at the bar. Up until this point I have had the same bartender every time. This evening I saw an unfamiliar face behind the bar. Didn't know what to expect but Danni did not disappoint. She carried herself with a certain bounce and was always smiling. She also appeared to have a good balance between interacting with bar guests while still tending to her other bartender responsibilities. Of course I had the smoked wings. Until something catastrophic happens this will be where I dine most evenings. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience with Amiee at lunch. Friendly service, food came up fast. A new location that already has smooth operations.

I typically do not leave reviews, but our experience was so bad that I want to warn others to use their hard-earned money at a different restaurant. When in Avon, go next door to Longhorn or even On the Border where you'll get free chips and salsa. In short, my experience was: 1. We should have left after waiting 10 minutes to be greeted 2. Stone cold food 3. Forgotten food 4. Out of specific drinks at the bar 5. Mediocre taste relative to experiences at other SB 6. Disgusting bathroom 7. Management was lacking during this shift as they were over staffed and standing around in some parts of the restaurant and understaffed with no recognition in other areas. 8. For a brand new restaurant, their menus are literally falling apart. I wish them good luck and improvement so the location can thrive vs. sit empty, but beware. read more

Came for a quick lunch and got a wonderful waitress that did an amazing job. Thank you Haley H. Hope your first week was a good one.

I know it's still really new so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. The service was not that great and for the wait the food quality was mediocre. I didn't have high expectations but I also won't be going back for more. Too pricey for the poor quality of food you're receiving. read more

I'm so glad they brought Smoky Bones back. Loved it then and loved it now. The food was delicious, cooked to order and our server Tracy was phenomenal. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I came in for dinner tonight, I have came in for years. Adam has been my favorite server for as long as I can remember. His service is the best I've seen. Always takes care of everybody. read more

Nice store, good service; HOWEVER, way overpriced for sub-par quality! I paid $25 for beef brisket which was dry and stringy. My wife ordered a third of a rack of ribs which turned out to be a pretty small portion and cost $19. She said they were OK but nothing special, especially for that price. The broccoli was cold and undercooked. About the only good items served were the beans and coleslaw. I had high hopes for this new restaurant so I am pretty disappointed. I do not plan to go back. read more

Do yourself a favor and pass on this place. Very bland food that's way overpriced. Portions are small and lack flavor. Service was subpar. Nothing positive with our visit. read more

Absolute trash. Sat there for over an hour and a half waiting on the food, watching as tables around us (parties that had arrived much later) received their food. At that point my family and I got up and left. No apology, no explanation read more

Bad service. Bad prices. And tried the fried donuts and received them raw after waiting over 20 mins for them. I'd go to City BBQ before I would here again. read more

Stopped in here for a second time. The first time, I sat at the bar by myself for 10 minutes, and no one helped me, so I left. This time, the bartender checked with me right away. She did a great job by just doing her job. I ordered the pulled pork lunch with roasted corn and steak fries. The corn and steak fries were good. Once again the pulled pork had very little flavor without any kind of sauce. I have yet to find a good pulled pork sandwich in the Marion County area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you have to put sauce on your barbecue then it's not good barbecue. I tried their KC style barbecue sauce and I thought that it was very good for a KC style and then I also tried their Carolina style. Mine is WAAAY better! read more

Food was very good, service was excellent, by Amy, very friendly vibe. We had just walked out of Bubbas, down the street, because of the rudeness. If you are looking for something to eat late, this is the place! read more

This place always has the most delicious food especially their pulled pork and omg the baked bbq beans are to die for. So glad to see their return to Avon. read more

1/10 Do Not Recommend if you like barbecue. Super dry meat, subpar service, very disappointed for the price point. But hey, what can you expect from a chain restaurant, I guess. Overall, not a good experience. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, honestly. read more

I took my family and another family to Smokey Bones in Avon, IN on 7/25/2024. First thing was that 3 of our party tried to order the 3 entrée dinners only to be told that brisket couldn't be ordered with the meal although on the menu it was clearly a $5.00 add on, then after about 20 minutes the waitress comes back and says they have no 1/4 chicken. Then we ask for a manager and when she comes out we end up substituting for things we didn't really enjoy but after being there over an hour we were hungry. So I got the 16oz New York Strip and it came cold. There were only 4 other tables of people in the place yet I had to snag a different waiter for napkins because ours disappeared. Then to top it off they bring me a bill for $259.00 what a rip off.. It was very poor food, very poor service and it almost appears like i paid a price for complaining. So do yourself a favor and don't fall into the Smokey Bones Trap in Avon, Indiana read more

This place is so over priced for the amount of food you get..I went one time and won't be back.. Luke warm food and no flavor..I will tell anyone I know to avoid this place..go to famous Dave's or city bbq read more

We dine here regularly. The food is delicious. Staff has always been great. Sometimes do takeout.

As I currently sit at Smokey Bones I watch some of the employees frolicking around playing while I discuss my terrible visit with the manager. I won't be back. You guys need a retooling because it's like romper room rather than a business. Bring back the old concept too. This one doesn't work. There is no one here and my food comes out wrong and cold. Please tell me what I am to think. read more

Loved our waitress, Leigha. very attentive and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Loved our food! I had the 9oz sirloin with potato wedges a d fire grilled corn. my friend got the brisket and we both enjoyed our meal. we splurged on dessert and the cake is a huge serving and the cookie skillet was wonderful as well. read more

Atmosphere was nice and there were a few specials but the food was just okay and overpriced in our opinion. The old Smokey Bones was a lot better. read more

Extremely slow service. And clearly understaffed. Wait over an hour to get our food once ordered. And no one to clean off tables, after use. Destini N. Was our server and we had to keep flagging other servers down for service. Place wasn't busy at all. Nothing has changed from the original time they were here at this location. read more

We came in on a Sunday and we're seated right away. The waitress was very nice. We ordered the corn bread skillet. That was delicious and came with a sweet butter. I got the bbq 1/2 chicken with baked beans and corn. I will definitely be back. Very tasty bbq. Finally! read more

Loved coming here! The food was great and Damon was a great server! He was attentive and very kind!!

We ordered a family meal about around 8:30 PM, it was around $30. My husband went to pick up the order and had to wait about 10 minutes. Drove home about 10 minutes away and EVERYTHING was terrible. The potato was not loaded, it was old, the chicken was hard and dry. My husband ordered chili which he called chili water with cheese. Everything was terrible. I dont know if its because they were about to close, but we will not go back. Id rather spend a few more dollars and go to C.B. read more
