Burger was cooked correctly. The sides get zero attention from the kitchen. The service was fine, no positive or negative interactions.

This place sold me some poor quality overpriced Rib Tips. the meat was burnt and dried out. The pic below is what they charged me $13.99 for. I definitely got ripped off. read more

Food is waaaay overpriced for what you get. It was too salty. My glass had bbq sauce on it from who knows where. Service was lacking. We sat for quite a while. Training seems to be non existent. Unfortunately I still have gift left. Guess I'll have to go again. I'm dreading it. Maybe I'll give them away. read more

The waitress did a horrible job in taking care of us. It took well over 30 min for us to receive our food, and that was after asking about it. We also had to ask for a water refill after the glasses being empty for a while. I had ordered a glass of wine to come WITH our meal. When we had to ask for refills of water, I asked for my wine to come on out since the food was taking so long. The food finally arrived. My husbands order was incorrect and not warm. I had to ask again for my wine. Finally, after almost being finished with our meal, I told the waitress to take the wine off of our order. Her reply, "She's pouring it now". My reply, "And, I am almost finished with my meal." We will not be returning. read more

I have been here a few times before I was a Yelper... it is a typical chain restaurant similar to Logans or Outback, but with a focus on BBQ. It has tables, booths, and high-tops along with a bar and draught beer (+1). It is a stand alone restaurant outskirts of Hamilton Place Mall so plenty of parking. Was with family and ordered the large BBQ grill item that comes in a small BBQ grill type thing with chicken, steak, sausage and fries. It was awesome. I ordered the one for 2 and it actually came for 3 but was not charged extra. The service was great, food was really good and I suggest you try the grill item.. plenty of food, good and you will probably have leftovers. I give it a 4+ and it was reasonable, great service and good atmosphere. read more

Today was my first time going to Smokey Bones. The food was pretty good but the kitchen staff cause my reason for only giving 3 stars. Our waitress Hanna did all she could do to make sure our food was ready but the kitchen staff messed up on our orders repeatedly. Communication needs to be much better! Other than that, the food was great! read more

Service was great...food, not so much. I had the brisket (which was really just pot roast, disappointing) and my husband had the baby back ribs. Ribs were just so-so. Seemed to have a lot of little bones throughout so you really had to be careful before swallowing. Sides were meh. Will not go back. read more

OMG absolutely love this place especially their wings. I don't make it in town much but when I do I try my best to get here. to start off the only thing I miss about the old school is the fact that you can have table speakers on your table to listen to whichever game was playing on the TV. we all know one of the most annoying things is when you're watching a specific game but they put the speaker of another game on the restaurant speakers. Anyway little things in life. I would definitely ask for the wings or the loaded potato skins either one of those are great and can definitely fill you up. The family and I decided to order all appetizers and we were definitely full and that was five people. just go try. start out with the wings and go from there. Make multiple trips and don't try to stuff yourself all in one sitting... that's why we're obese now in America right! Any who try for yourself and again I can't stress enough try the wings. read more

A couple of months ago I wrote a negative review for this restaurant. Last night, however, my husband and I decided to give it another try. The bartender, Kayla, was the exact opposite of the bartender who was working the bar then. She greeted has promptly and she was very friendly and attentive. And of course, our favorite Mag Nachos was superb. We were glad we gave this business a second chance. read more

The server that served us was horrible, he had no personality. I didn't get his name. But the food was alright I got wings and sweet potato fries, the wings were good until I took a bite and it was really pink. I didn't send them back because I didn't want to make a big deal in front of the guest I was eating with, and I knew I could just reheat them in the air fryer at home. But I did enjoy some of the wings that weren't pink, their sauce is good. The sweet potato fries were good. My mom had ribs they were ok, and the baked potato looked delicious as her side. Everything else was good other than my pink wings... ask for extra well done wings since they don't know how to cook read more

The Mexi-corn was probably one of the worst things I have had in a long time. The broccoli was hot and had some flavor. The ribs where decent but not what I would expect from a place that promotes there ribs. I think if I'm going to order from there in the future I will stick with items I know will be good read more

The only reason I ever come to this restaurant is because of Jan. I have been coming here with friends and family for 15 years. And not because of anything the restaurant did outside of Jan. She makes you feel special. She remembers what you order, and what your kids order. She is the greatest bartender/waitress/friend ever. read more

Now, it is the simple truth: This is what ya call a BBQ restaurant. This has been here as long as I can remember. The manager here says the same thing but if he had to guess probably late 90's. First of all, I came in as a stranger or new customer. However, I left feeling like a regular here because of the way they took care of me. Why? Read on and you'll find out. Representation: There's mostly booths in here, which I like and a there's even an outside patio with tables and TV"s that make it a plus. There are numerous TVs at the bar and throughout the inside. They also have a speaker system set up to whatever so happens to be the most popular sports on. arrived @ 7:35 pm (familiar with place) ordered @ 7:38 pm (I knew what I wanted) BBQ IFOM @ 7:41pm (I kid u not) menu items ordered: bar b q sandwich, corn, baked beans, cole slaw and sweet tea and for desert I had a cold beer. The barbecue sandwich was absolutely delicious. The staff here recommended me using two sauces on my sandwich which were mustard and sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. I asked for cole slaw on the side to put on my BBQ which made it complete. Service: I would like to thank the staff, servers, and especially the manager Will for an undeniably superb and unbelievable friendly fast customer service. Once I ordered, it was delivered "in front of me", thus (IFOM) at the 3 minute mark. How cool is that. I couldn't believe it. I even had to ask " is that mine? ready already, wow." Ok. They also kept my sweet tea full at all times. Regrets: Yes, I had the ask myself, now why haven't I tried this place again since 2001, which was my first visit. I might have asked for some sort of bread as I'm sure they would brought some according others reviews and photos. Parking: You can park along side the restaurant but there is ample parking in the back which is what I recommend when they get busy. In summary, park in the back, just get a BBQ sandwich with corn and baked beans, ask for a side of coleslaw (to put on sandwich). I also would love to have their recipe for their corn. I don't know what they add to it, but whatever it is, it is good. read more

Email sent to corporate: Tonight this location failed miserably. We had a table of 7. Took an hour to get our food. The first 2 plates came out, then we proceeded to wait another 5 minutes for the next plate, another five minutes after that for the next plate. Almost 10 more minutes for the last plates. I ordered the Brisket plate with beans and broccoli. I had 7pcs of broccoli, the smallest cut of the nastiest sad piece of brisket i have ever seen. It was clearly microwaved, it was Grey, and the middle almost all fat. No smoke ring, it was seriously disgusting. For $24.99 that plate should have never left the kitchen. Former server here, it was an absolutely sad plate. No where near worth 24 dollars. I had her take it back and asked it to be removed from our bill. She tried to bring the plate back out with some more broccoli and added more of the nasty meat. No. Just no. This was appalling. The burger my father had was not edible and he took 3 bites and just couldn't. The pulled pork was dry and nuked, had a grey color as well. The food was clearly microwaved and not worth the $185.00 bill we paid. From the first 2 plates to the last plate being served it was 16 minutes. Generally you go out to dinner to enjoy a meal together. Clearly did not happen tonight. It was not overly busy when we arrived. The 7 top beside us, ordered just before us and were served, ate their food, and got their check before we were even served. I am absolutely gobsmacked at the food that was served this evening and the timing of service from order to last plate on the table. Not ever okay. I understand quicksand in a kitchen happens fast, but (and a big BUT) the manager should have been back there helping and someone should have been checking plates before table service. I wish I had a picture to show you, but I didn't even want the plate on the table. It was immediately sent back. Appalling food, and Appalling service. The server was nice, and that's the only thing I can honestly say nice about this evening's adventure. We will not be back. read more

Great wings, and even better deals on Monday nights!! You get unlimited wings after 9pm for $12.00. You also get to order from a variety of wings, which is really nice! I will be returning! read more

Awesome experience! Kasie (sp?)was a fantastic bartender. The wings were the best I have ever had. Beer was cold. I will be back if in the area. read more

Really disappointing location. Dirty booths, slow and unfriendly service and food was so so.

The food was alright, took a while to get in and get seated and even longer to get the food. The atmosphere of the place was very gloomy and looked like no one wanted to be there and the workers looked like they were dreading every moment being there. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal. read more

Paige was a great server and the food was great and didn't have to wait for a long time for the food Paige came back to check on us while we waited.

Food was amazing and Kiara was a GREAT server! Highly recommend the atmosphere for a late night meal!

The food was delicious! The fries were cooked to perfection. Kiara was our server and was outstanding. We will be back.

Went while on vacation with the family. Was ok. My sisters loaded nachos were good and my sons chicken was good but the turkey burger was super bland. On the nachos, she wanted chicken instead of beef and it was a $3 up charge that was not told to us. The turkey burger had grilled mushrooms for $2 upcharge, which was fine, but when they came out there were hardly any on the burger. Definitely not enough for $2 worth and the taste was not good. Very blah. I tried adding sauce and such but didn't help much. If we go back, I won't be getting the burger again. read more

The coasters mention 40+ bourbons but then they did not have either of the two we asked for from the list we were given. I found it odd to advertise your bourbon and not have a bourbon list for people to order from in the first place. The food was pretty good, the grilled BBQ chicken was mediocre but the pulled pork was good. read more

T'erria was very attentive. The European ribs are my son's favorite! We'll be back again.

We haven't eaten here in a long time and tonight I was reminded why. We used Door Dash and the first thing we noticed is our order was missing a meat from our combo plate. Then the order of "cornbread" turned out to be like a cornbread muffin and was hard/tough on the bottom. And strike number 3 was the mac n cheese had too much pepper to be edible. The meal as a whole sucked and we will not be getting food there again. read more

Got seated at 6:58...started writing this post at 7:14 when no one came to at least acknowledge I was sitting here. Guy & his son walked in & sat at the bar - instantly given menus & drinks. This restaurant is not busy at all to justify have me wait almost over 20 mins for service. Finally got up and walked out. read more
