    Bag of donuts... With 3 tony donuts soaked in grease and a gross amount of wet sugar.
    Colin M.

    I'm not against going to a chain restaurant as Cranberry has no shortage of them. But the fact of the matter is, if you're going to streamline your kitchen, your food better be cheap and serviceable. Smokey Bones gets away being overpriced as it's a BBQ joint, but after giving them 2 tries... Never again. Their ribs are serviceable, at best. And probably the safest option from what I've tried here. Their chicken wings come flourished with an array of feathers and the most disgusting coagulated "garlic Parm" sauce. Frankly, they were insulting and gag inducing. Their 'bag of donuts' dessert seemed fun until they arrived as grease soaked and covered in 2 cups of densely packed sugar. Skip this spot and head to the better barbeque joints down the road.

    Rack of ribs

    I know, I know... 4 stars for an older chain restaurant.. but hear me out. The pleasantness and energy of the staff goes a LONG WAY in making a meal amazing. Plus, their food is actually decent. We usually dine later in the evening, around 9pm. I've learned to tell the server to make sure everything is smoking hot since many places start to close the kitchen around the time we arrive. The ribs for $15 (full rack) were amazing.. meaty, hot, and tender. The stew was interesting but still good. What makes this place shine is the employees' attitudes. Everyone is very nice, even when there is an issue. Staff goes out of their way to be respectful and pleasant. To me, that means A LOT!!

    Ribs, Texas toast, Mac and cheese.

    Ribs were ok. Not much meat on them. I know their baby back, but come on. Service was very good. Not a lot of people there on a Sunday evening.

    I recently had a very disappointing experience at the Smokey Bones in CRANBERRY My order was messed up, and instead of helping resolve the issue, the general manager, Kayla, was extremely rude and argumentative. Her attitude made the situation much worse, and even one of her own employees mentioned that this is not unusual behavior. She repeatedly brought up her 20 years of experience, but unfortunately, that experience didn't translate into good customer service. Great service is what keeps customers coming back, and this location fell short. The Robinson location, on the other hand, has always been excellent and proves how much of a difference good customer service makes. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customers deserve to be treated with respect.

    Pulled pork sandwich and slightly undercooked baked potato
    Melody H.

    We wanted to try something new so we stopped in here on a Saturday for a late lunch. There weren't many people inside as it was only about 3:20. I ended up ordering the smokey chicken sandwich with their street corn side. The food took forever to come out, but it was hot and fresh when received. The sandwich was okay. The chicken wasn't dry and had nice flavor, but the BBQ sauce that came on it was far too sweet. If I ever got this again I would ask for no sauce and add my own from the selection on the table. My daughter got the mac and cheese and enjoyed it and my partner got the pulled pork sandwich and a baked potato. He said the sandwich was okay, but the potato was a little undercooked. Service was pretty good - and they were short staffed and only had two servers doing everything. So I have to give a good rating for that. All-in-all the food was just average. I probably wouldn't choose to go back as the prices are higher than other BBQ in the area and the quality doesn't really make up for it.

    I was in the mood for some good barbecue and saw that they had burnt ends on their menu. I am always looking for them, so I had to give them a shot. Their menu is quite large. I went with the burnt ends as an appetizer. Most of them were, sadly, a little dry. The one which were not were very good. I also got the jumbo smoked wings. Sadly, they wouldn't let me try any of their other wing sauces with these wings. They are limited to one choice. If you want the other wing flavors, you have to order their other wings. I did like they brought out a 'bone bag' that you could put your bones and trash inside of instead of trying to make place for them on your plate. I don't think I would have the smoked wings here next time, but I'd give them a shot again with something else on their menu.

    The atmosphere was pretty nice. I didn't like the boneless wings, they were something you could buy at the store. The ribs were tender. Pretty average though.

    Full rack baby back ribs and 2 sides all for 19.99. It was a special but even at regular price it would be well worth it!

    I had the pulled pork. It was a tasty low calorie option. I'd be back.

It is WAY better now in the burbs. I love the outdoor area and being able to sit here and watch people golf. I was in the area picking up books and charging my car at the local Sheetz, so I looked up a nearby dog-friendly brewery and this one came up as a suggestion. The name didn't even click until I sent pictures to a beer industry friend, who immediately said, "Haven't been since they moved from the South Side." Such a completely different vibe from the old South Side location, but in the best way. Great outdoor space, dog-friendly, and a really fun place to hang out. The staff is nice, service is FAST and always friendly, and the cheese curds were amazing! Would you like to add anything else about what you drank, or is this ready for you to copy and paste?

So many great shows there from my many friends with bands to some of the best-known punk acts in the country. This location is really just as great. It's a spacious restaurant that does at times have live music. Family-friendly. Incredible service. And the food...big portions and enough to share. I love the habanero burger. My boyfriend loves the Tony Montana Cuban. The classic mac and cheese is so good, it's like it came from someone's kitchen. Totally scratch-made. Those steak tacos aren't too shabby either, friends!

We started off with the cornbread. If my husband sees it on the menu, he must have it. It was good especially the top part was very sweet, which I loved.

I also liked the Mexican street corn side too. My husband thought the ribs and mashed potatoes were amazing. When my mom and I see brisket on the menu, we typically have to have it. She did along with her other favorite mashed potatoes and loved both. I don't think you can have a bad meal there. Anxious to go back and try other things.
