We came for a late lunch. There weren't a lot of customers, but it did seem that they were a little understaffed. We still didn't have to wait too long. We got the current special (app & main for $15.) My wife got the chicken, double baked potato & pickle chips. I got the ribs, corn & mashed potato's & gravy. The pickles were very salty. Other than that, everything was great! Our server, Makayla, was VERY good. She was the only server and managed numerous tables, efficiently, and was very friendly, as well! We haven't been here in awhile & really want to make it back more frequently. read more

Who is keeping Smokey Bones open? Hubby and I are running out of places to eat out. Same ol, same ol type of food. So we couldn't decide and I was like hey I haven't been to Smokey Bones in like 20 years....so we tried them. They're absolutely mediocre. It's like Cheddars for BBQ but 30% more expensive. Like, it's fine but it's not good. We will not be going here again anytime soon. read more

We went to this location on a Sunday afternoon and met my bestie and her fiancée. Service was good. I had a bacon cheeseburger and it was good with fries, my husband had the bbq 1/4 chicken and he had a good meal as well but my best friend's fiancé has the 1/4 chicken and her serving way too small, I actually would have sent my plate back. Priced right. read more

Smokey Bones - Still tipped shouldnt have after the way we were treated - Barbeque Near Me - Greenwood, Indiana

Just spent 15 minutes in an unbusy restaurant, waiting for a server to show up to even greet us and offer drinks. We left. Diner beware.

The Korean pork pops are the best appetizer at a chain. I get them every time I go. Fire!!!!

We stopped here after visiting the Children's Museum. The server was super sweet & kind. The music was enjoyable and wasn't too loud. Atmosphere was fun & we could still all talk. The food was decent. I got the BBQ Mag Nacho. They were tasty but didn't have much meat. I was disappointed. My son Bryson got the 6 Boneless White Wings and Mac & Cheese. He loved it. Super delicious. Below are some more favorites that were tried. read more

Last place my now in heaven Brother and Me art. I'm a poetic reviewer for here goes. April 2, 2022...day we buried our Father who suddenly died in his sleep. We ate here because our other brother said " Man they got the best burger fam"....so Smokey Bones unknowingly hosted our family's "funeral service". Small tribe of no parents and 4 child and their loves, we just wanted to eat together, and be okay. No big show. Just us and 5 others at funeral. A Maine Vet. Shocking. Anywho, food...made my soul calm. I enjoyed the wings, while my brother got this big ass burger as seen in picture. I seen that now, and look to heaven saying, you and dad are both gone now, and I just wanna have a Smokey Bones Burger. The charm and ambiance of this particular location, was spot on. Made us feel like part of the tribe. Fast forward, both are in heaven, family is split and Ive been homeless living in my car since. How life is changing. But one thing that I hope doesn't, is the absolute stunning vibe and dishes this place offers. Thanks for listening, and showing us grace read more

the food was okay but the service was absolutely terrible. We didn't get half the food we ordered and we asked for it again she still forgot and then still charged us for it. She would take forever to come back to the table each time. the lady behind us had been sat for more than 10 minutes without being seen once! read more

This restaurant is huge. It has a decent sized private parking lot and has fireplaces indoors. The staff there is very friendly and attentive. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and seated right away. The restaurant has dining room seating and bar seating available. I chose to sit at the bar. The bar is a full bar and serves beer, wine and signature cocktails. There are televisions around the bar that has sports playing. There menu is huge and if you check in on Yelp then you are eligible for a lunch special deal. I ordered the brisket sandwich, with a side of baked beans and steak fries. It did not take long to get my food. My meal was OK. My steak fries were well seasoned, but were very crunchy, as if they were overcooked. The baked beans were delicious, but was a very small serving. The sandwich was good. I added one of the restaurant's signature barbecue sauces that they had on the table. I think a 3.5 star rating would be more accurate, but because of the such great service I decided to round up. Is this the best barbecue that I have had? No! But it is good and the service here is outstanding. If it makes any sense, I would say that I would definitely eat here again, but it just would not be my first choice. read more

We stood at the front counter for almost 10 minutes before anyone said a word to us. When we're seated the table was dirty I had to ask for it to be cleaned off bcuz she sat the menus on top of the previous customers crumbs. The waitress we had was very inattentive. She kept draining from her nose and sniffing it back up clearly she was sick or something. To boot the food was nasty! Everything was too sweet. Sweet nachos, sweet ribs, sweet baked beans and the fire roasted corn just tasted weird all together. The food looked good in the plate but all of it was gross. I had to go up to the bar to get the $60 bill because the waitress never came back after she brought the food. No refills on drinks or even stopping by the table to ask if we needed anything else. Horrible experience if I could give this place a zero I would have. read more

Wheew where do I start? Well Indiana is not home to any good barbecue, regardless to what anyone tells you. My family has owned and operated southern Barbecue spots for years before we relocated.. so I know great bbq. We decided to order take out via the Smokey Bones website because I wanted ribs, but I really didn't feel like making them. I ordered two slab dinners a half chicken (all white meat) and a chocolate cake to go. My son in law picked the order up, and we noticed that my white meat order was simply a breast, a wing and a drum stick..!!!!! White meat is only breasts and wings. In addition a half of a chicken has four pieces.. why was my order just three pieces?? The sides were horrible also, and the ribs that were on special were dry and flavorless and even worse they were musty. I have no doubt in my mind that these ribs were cooked days ago. How do you serve chewy meat!! The final straw was the fact that the ice cream for the cake was packed with the hot food and it was melted. BTW the cake was horrible so please avoid that. I called and spoke with a manager for a refund of the missing chicken and he stated that he couldn't find the order.. but would make a refund for the missing piece of chicken when he was able to locate it. Worst food experience in Greenwood ever. Save your money and just cook at home. I will be writing corporate, because we threw all of this food in the trash and it was a pure waste of money. read more

Really disappointed at this location, bartender was slow at his job. Not attentive at all. Took us 10 mins to get out first drink an sorry for a Saturday night at 8 the place was not. Just at all. There a gentleman that was standing between the bar and the grill that was very loud an really didn't have a muzzle on his mouth an some of the stuff he was saying or talking about was offensive not to me but some sitting in ear shit an as loud as he talked that includes most of the resturuant , the cooks look scattered plates was being set up an incomplete orders. Just look like a bunch of confusion. Took us an awhile to get our food which was the charcoal cooked sampler for 2 food was good vegetables were over cooked the rest of the meat was cool. Just a terrible experience all around. I'd be careful hate to see if it was busy read more

Fiancé and I stopped in after a long morning planning his moms funeral arrangements. The place just opened, so we were the first customers. Ordered a bowl and a cup of chili along with 2 meals. Meals came out luke warm and the Bowl of chili was barely filled up. We then compared the cup of chili to the bowl, to which we poured the bowl into an empty cup to find out it was only a cup of chili poured into a bowl. We informed our server in which she asked if we would like a manger. The manager "Sarah" came, she approached our table ima very stern, non friendly way. My fiance explained the findings in which she cut him off and held her hand over our food pointing aggressively saying the ounces of each portion, but clearly visibly we received the same portion. She then repeated herself. we never once needed or asked for any money off, her approach was very unprofessional and she walked off with no solution and with a experience of the worst customer service we have experienced in a while. Our server remained apologetic and showed empathy to us as customers during our visit. She repeated multiple times "she would have just gave us more chili" but her manager is new and not the "nicest". read more

Smokey Bones in Greenwood, IN was great! It had a welcoming atmosphere, was clean, Brandi gave us prompt and attentive service & the food was fantastic. I highly recommend the Brunswick Stew & Pork Nachos! Hats off to Brandi! We will definitely be back! read more

As usual, the food was great and Brandi gave us great service! This is one of our favorite restaurants!

We came here for Mother's Day and had about a half hour wait. The front waiting area was extremely warm but once we got to our table we were glad it was cooler. Our waiter, Kenny, was with us right away. I wasn't that hungry so I got some pretzel bones- pretzel breadsticks with beer cheese. My brother in law also got some of the Korean pork belly pops for us to try which was good. Everything was fast and tasty. Only downside was that our party of 6 was sat at a booth and we didn't have a whole lot of room. read more

There was a mouse that ran across the floor me and my family saw it and it was just crazy that this place has them I don't recommend..

Fantastic food better than the other places around Greenwood . I love the danish ribs and the baked beans are my favorite but all others I've tried before. Also pulled pork brisket. Very happy. Going to have a big party there soon. I highly recommend it make reservations on the weekend. read more

Today our group went to Smokey Bones for lunch. Christian was the only one serving us and he did a great job! He was very attentive and got all of our orders correct. The food was really good. I had the lunch Combo, $12.00, for Pulled Pork two sides garlic bread and soda. We tasted each other's and the half rack of ribs was delish. The corn bread was also good. I think you just made some return customers. read more

Don't waste your time. I hate that this place has gone down hill. Service was tolerable, however since they've only hired one waiter to take care of their guests on their busiest nights is absolutely ridiculous! My husband and I are frequent guests but we will NOT be back!!! We sat down and the waiter came and told us he won't wait on us!!! If you go-get your food to-go; the foods good just don't ruin it by going to dine in. read more

We met a friend for dinner and ended up at Smokey Bones in Greenwood. She is handicapped and we asked for a table close to the entrance. They sat us at the closet booth moving chairs out of the way before she made it to the table. Thank you! Just a note, the entrance has heavy double doors and she wouldn't be able to get through them by herself. Our server arrived quickly with a smile on his face. We gave him our drink order and after scoping out the menu decided on the BBQ Pleaser Appetizer. I highly recommend for a group of 2 - 4 hungry people. The BBQ Pleaser comes with a generous portion of Fried Pickle Chips, 6 Smoked Chicken Wings with sweet BBQ Glaze, Loaded Fries and a mini version of BBQ Mag-Nachos. Something for most here and easily could be a large meal for one or share with a friend. Everything was good but the mini BBQ Mag-Nachos was the highlight for me. Freshly fried tortilla chips are topped with hickory smoked BBQ pulled chicken, pulled pork, yummy sliced jalapeños, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, cheddar jack cheese, home-made queso, sour cream then topped with sweet BBQ sauce. Yes, they are as good, and messy, as they sound. The Fried Pickles came in second for me but was my husband's first choice. While devouring the appetizers, we noticed our server kept disappearing. He dropped off drink refills a couple times before and after food arrived but raced off. My friend spilled her full drink and the server was there immediately with a stack of napkins but disappearing as soon as the napkins hit the table top without a word. After we cleaned up our mess another server took away the glasses full of soaked napkins. Our dinners arrived soon after the cleanup. The restaurant offers several styles of baby back or St. Louis ribs, chicken, pulled pork, pork belly, steaks, smoked turkey and several types of burgers including a Veggie Burger. A few other popular options are the wings, salads, Fritos Chili Pie, Brunswick stew, a 1-lb BLT plus a delicious selection of appetizers. The Family Feast selection can be ordered for carry-out or dine-in. My friend ordered the 3 Blackened Mahi-Mahi Tacos on flour tortillas and served Street style with red pickled onion, cilantro, salsa, white onions and salsa. The tortillas were soft and fresh plus the Mahi-Mahi was light, flaky and flavorful. Good Choice! My husband ordered the Pulled Pork Sammy with House Smoked Pork, hand-pulled served on a toasted bun and comes with one side (FF's for him). I tried the Mahi-Mahi Sandwich served with one side. The filet can be prepared blacked, grilled or pan seared and I opted for grilled. When the sandwich arrived the filet was overcooked, extremely dry and flavorless. I couldn't eat but a tiny portion. I guess I need to ask how they prepare the Mahi for the tacos since the fish was light and flaky. Mine was not and this is my second attempt with the Mahi sandwich. This is off my list. Our server stopped by but everyone had finished eating so I didn't order anything else. I like the restaurant, the music, the casual atmosphere and the food. I love a place that offers several fun and filling appetizers where I can order a small appetizer, salad to a rack of ribs or even a burger. The food carried the weight of 3 stars as our server was just not engaged tonight. Hopefully, it was just a bad night for him and he'll be better next time. read more

Saturday April 6th 2024 We came for dinner. Got our drinks. Told server we needed 2 minutes. We waited almost 15 minutes for server to return. Wife ordered pulled pork & I ordered the brisket. Both meats as well as our baked potatoes were not hot and at best were tepid. My wife and I both agreed that our meats weren't at all flavorful. I very rarely ever use a bbq sauce because I enjoy the Smokey flavor of the meat. It wasn't smoked long enough or just a bad cut of meat. Anyway, the meal was very disappointing. This isn't my first review of this restaurant. We last ate there in 2018 and that meal was as dismal as the one we had tonight. Back then they asked me to contact them after they saw my review and they would make better. I contacted the person at the email but I never heard back from them. Regardless, we are done patronizing this restaurant and just hope they can learn from this and the prior review and make the necessary corrections. Save your time and go to City BBQ. They have the best BBQ in the city. read more

Sooooooo we came back to one of our fav late-night spots. As it wAs crowded and we did LOVE the food before we had the bad experience. Anywho, can you say they made up for allllll the bad. Hubby and I ordered pretty much a smorgasbord of food. Wings, platter, mac, onion rings and doughnuts!!! If you go for anything go for the fresh doughnuts!! Promise you'll love them. The smokes wings are always good and the platter hubby got came out on a individual grill with coals. Like how cute is that. So I said all that to say... Definitely give the local places that have made a mistake a second chance we all deserve that! read more

Poorly run business with bad service. Food is pretty good, but they need a new manager to run this place. We were told table would be ready in 10-20 minutes. Seated an hour later and when they led us to the table the place was half empty with clean tables. Really a shame they don't know how to run a restaurant. Won't be bringing guests from out of town here again. read more

We ate dinner here around 5:30 today. They were not crowded at all. Were greeted and seated but waited over 10 minutes at least before a waitress brought us menus and then another long wait before she came back for our order. My husband order a brisket dinner and I ordered a pulled pork dinner. They were served very quickly but the food was lukewarm at best. The baked potatoes were shriveled like they'd been baked in advance of the dinner hour and then microwaved. But the worst was the meats that were served. Neither the brisket or the pork had any seasoning or smoked flavor and were completely tasteless. I was sooo disappointed in this restaurant's food! City BBQ's food has this restaurant's food beat by miles!!! We won't be returning. read more

This was my first time here and really enjoyed it. My waitress was very nice, didn't ask if I wanted anything while I had food in my mouth and her recommendations were delicious! I had the Pick 3... Texas brisket, pulled pork and st. Louis ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and the baked beans and had the fried pickles for the appetizer. I'll definitely be going back again. They keep seating far apart, the tables and menus were clean. ( I always bring sanitizer wipes regardless) read more

We visited here recently for Mother's Day with a group of 6. We had to wait about 30-40 minutes. Once seated, we were placed in a booth near back of store. My husband ordered us a starter of Korean BBQ pork belly bites which were cooked perfectly and melted right in your mouth with a great flavor. For the entrée, I ordered the brisket stew chili in a bowl and a side of broccoli. The chili was served hot and was pretty tasty. I ate off a bit of my husband's brisket platter and we enjoyed trying the different sauces that were available at the table (KC was our fave). Our waiter was friendly and the food was served quickly. read more

Our server Kim was incredibly friendly and it was a great first experience after a long 30 hour road trip from California. The restaurant ran out of Bone- in Ribeye and it became a big joke that Smokey Bones didn't have any bones. The atmosphere was the best I've seen where you'll find advertising jokes around all the walls that personally gave me a chuckle. The food tasted good despite being a tad salty but overall check out Smokey Bones for a good time and good food. read more

Cierra did a great job. The ribs are excellent along with your side dishes. My father in laws favorite place.

The food here is really delicious but pray that you don't need the ladies room!!! Not only does it smell like MOLD, you get to see it too!!! The greeter had plenty of time to tussle her hair but not enough time to scrub the toilet!!! I have cleaned places before and this takes more than three days to happen, disgusting! The ceiling tiles are just waiting to fall during an one someone and the tiles that aren't there are showing the dust that is accumulated on them ready to heat up enough to start a FIRE!!! read more

Used to love this place but the last few times it just hasn't been great. A long wait even with a nearly empty parking lot, dining area is always hot and half the time the food is cold and dry. Not sure if it's a new management issue or employee issue read more

It was very good. It was our first time there. The hostess was great, informative and just helpful and welcoming. She was great. Our waitress was awesome too. She kept my husbands drink full. She gave us the best side suggestions, answered menu questions. She knew what she was talking about and it helped us make our discussion. He loved the pulled pork (he will get double portion next time) only thing he didnt like was they topped the pork on a piece of garlic texas toast to make it look like he had more pulled pork... he was disappointed. The 1/4 was most, I liked it but he wasnt impressed. I had the brisket it was good... I tried the baby back ribs... they were amazing! That will be what I get next time! And the baked beans are great too as I was told! Weve driven by so many times and not stopped and finally we did. We are happy we did! read more

This is a really good BBQ restaurant. I had 1/2 slab of baby back and 1/2 slab of st. Louis style. The meat was "fall off the bone" good. I've been to several BBQ places. But I would say the ribs have more meat on them than any other place I've been in Indy. Service was good. They have like 8 different bbq sauces to use. BBQ isn't at the top of my list for places to eat. But I will be coming back here for sure! read more
