Henry's T.

Soon after landing in Georgia, we wanted to set off in search of some of that famed "Southern hospitality." That journey wasn't a lengthy one as we soon had the good fortune of meeting Adrienne at "Smokey Bones" in Columbus. She immediately greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel right at home! We decided to go "all in" on our "all rib" entrees and enjoyed both their "Signature House Smoked Ribs" and their "Imported Baby Back Ribs." While the deliciousness of their ribs was of no surprise, the quality of their sides was and the "Mashed Potato and Gravy" and the "BBQ Baked Beans" were good enough to emerge from the shadow of their entrée counterparts and forge their individual paths. I have to admit that I felt excitedly like we were being admitted to an exclusive Southern fraternity/sorority when Adrienne mentioned that she'd be bringing a "bone bag" to accompany our meals. I (eventually) figured out that she was bringing us a paper bag...for us to put our bones into...when we were finished with them. (It's ok if you feel the need to read that a few times over to get the gist. That just means that you and I could then start that exclusive fraternity/sorority that I mistakenly thought already existed! ‍) While enjoying some BBQ in the South was something I had always aspired to experience, I also had my first taste of "Sweet Tea" and it was everything that I had hoped for. Sweet and flavorful, but without being ridiculously amped up with cups full of sugar. It was "tastefully done" just as I had imagined! Thanks Adrienne and "Smokey Bones" for welcoming us to the South! And that's...Henry's Take. #southernbbq #smokeybones

I ordered the pulled chicken. It wasn't cooked properly. It was very tough and cut into chunks. The wings were good.

Food is decent but over the top pricey. This is a FLINT STONE restaurant charging RICHIE RICH prices and the empty parking lot proves it.

Justin was an amazing waiter! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed…read morethroughout our meal. He checked on us often without being overbearing and had such a positive attitude the entire time. Great service really makes a difference, and Justin definitely made our experience enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! I will say, the greeting at the door was a little off and honestly took me back at first since it was our first time visiting. We stood at the door for several minutes without really being acknowledged or given a quick "we'll be with you shortly." Since it was after the Sunday church lunch rush, I completely understand they may have been regrouping after a busy crowd, so I don't want that to overshadow the experience. Once seated though, Justin really turned things around and provided excellent service.

This restaurant is always SO busy! We were greeted immediately and luckily found 2 seats at the…read morebar. Reservations aren't allowed to be made unless the party is bigger than 8 people. So it's always first come, first serve and everytime I've tried to come here, it's a 30 min wait. It took about 15 min for the bartender to offer us menus and give us waters/ask for a drink. The drinks were delicious though, I had the Paper Plane. The food was also surprisingly good. Even though there wasn't enough chicken on the chicken Alfredo dish, the sauce was delicious and tasted great. The burger and sweet potato fries were also good. I think if I came back; it would be for the drinks and potentially the pasta. I would be open to trying other things on the menu.

My experience was great ! I ordered the red velvet chicken & waffles on DoorDash, my food came fast…read more, the service was excellent Hailey handled my order she was very professional and helpful. The chicken and waffles were sooo delicious . I give it a 10/10 I do recommend. The ambiance of the restaurant on-line looks esthetically pleasing. I will be going in for dinner soon.

Not a lot of choices in Columbus for Easter and why we appreciate the effort…read more We were not impressed with the quality of the food The ham had been sitting out forever And many of our dishes were very dry. There were no lids on the chafing dishes. $35 is not a lot though and while we appreciate the time in cooking, the quality of the food was not great and we ate 1/4 of each plate and we only had one plate each Finally, we gave our server eight $20 cash gratuity for the two of us and it wasn't until we got home that we realized there was an additional gratuity of 15 or $16 or something on our $70 bill so the waitress actually made $35 gratuity on a $70 bill if not more. When we were giving her the cash gratuity, it would've been good if she would've notified us we were also going to be charged on my card for the gratuity I think saying that we only ate 25% of the food we took from the buffet and watching how many people were leaving was a clear indication. The quality of the buffet was not great and I standby many items were being left out much too long and not being covered and protected, including the hot entrées and the casseroles. Lesson learned and thank thank you
