    Grilled chicken
    David F.

    3/15/25 Our granddaughter wanted to eat at Smokey bones. We were quickly seated and a waiter was soon at our table. Our granddaughter wanted fried pickles for our appetizer and received loaded French fries we brought that to our waiter's attention and he quickly corrected the issue to bring us fried pickles and take the loaded fries off our bill. Unfortunately we ate the loaded fries because they were good and the fried pickles also. We told our water to leave the loaded fries on our bill because we enjoyed them which he did. I do not like getting something for free if I enjoyed it. If we had not of eaten the loaded fries then I would not have wanted them on my bill. All is good. Our waiter was very nice and got us everything we wanted. For our meal we ordered a combo of meats that come on a wire heated rack. Our food was delicious and we devoured it is why you do not see any before pictures when it was brought to our table. The also for got the grilled chicken so that's why you see the grilled chicken on a separate saucer. Seems like the kitchen might have been off on this particular night but all is good. We had good food and good service.

    What an amazing place! The food was so good if I wasn't full I could just keep eating more. The place was packed to the max that why we knew this was a great place to eat.

    Absolutely delicious. Visiting Mammoth National Park and needed to swing into a few stores in Bowling Green so we stopped in for dinner. Sat at the bar and had hands down the most INCREDIBLE dinner. We each ordered the smooth bourbon blackberry lemonade as well as the brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac and cheese, along with splitting an order of the pretzel bones. Everything was incredibly well-cooked, packed full of flavor, and reasonably priced. Our bartender was helpful and friendly, as was all of the staff. Cool ambience with nice lighting. Would absolutely recommend and would love to go back!

    So good!!! Was very happy to find a Smokey Bones location while in Bowling Green for the weekend. Service was good and fast. Food was excellent and everyone left full. Our waitress was great even going above & beyond by taking a picture of our party.

    Any questions that everything here is just microwaved can be answered in this photo. Still in the microwave bags - wtf?

    I love their BBQ pork or chicken, plus the baked beans are very good, priced reasonably. Quick service. Will be back.

Thankfully my wife suggested Pub By Novo. It was the first Friday of March Madness, but we were there early so we had no problem snagging a table. When you walk in it feels like a sports bar. It is a clean space with lots of metal and concrete. I like the look. When you peruse the menu you quickly realize this ain't no typical sports bar. The menu offers upscale bar food and has something for everyone. We started with the Pimento Cheese Dip, which comes with a generous portion of dip and lightly toasted bread. It was very good. My wife ordered the Kentucky Hot Brown (although here it is simply called Hot Brown). It was on point and excellent. I had the Chicken and Waffle, mine was very good but the Hot Brown was the star of the day. Service was extremely friendly and dripping in Southern Hospitality. Prices are reasonable. I'm not sure I'll ever be back to Bowling Green Kentucky, but if I am I'll certainly stop at Pub By Novo!

    I was surprised by the cocktail menu, which is much more creative than your average pub, and stands…read morein contrast to the vibe of the pub in general, which is super industrial, bright, and a true sports bar. I couldn't believe how crowded it was, even on a Saturday-- almost everyone who came in had a super long wait! Every table was full, and I was only lucky enough to be seated because I had a table of one. I had a cocktail that was excellent (can't find which one on the menu online, but I think it was something with blackberry?), and the parmesan salmon which was also great. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but still satisfying. I can see why this place is so popular, especially amid all the chains on the same street!

We were quickly seated and ordered our drinks while studying the really excellent menu. Instead of rolls, a cast iron skillet containing "Fire Bread" was delivered to our table. It was delicious and was quickly devoured while waiting for our dinners. My wife ordered the Montana fried chicken salad and I opted for the chicken pot pie. While the salad was nothing out of the ordinary (except the chicken was quite good) she thoroughly enjoyed it. My chicken pot pie was really good and it contained lots of large chunks of chicken. Many places that serve this dish think all you have to do is put some pastry puff over the chicken and you have chicken pot pie. NOT! At Montana Grill, this dish was prepared like I would make it at home-a complete crust which does a great job sopping up the chicken and vegetables. The portion was huge and had I not been traveling, I would have taken some home. This dish was also served in a cast iron skillet. Service was excellent and appreciated after driving nearly 9 hours. We waited for nothing. Very happy to have been reintroduced to Montana Grill.
