    Brisket stuffed grilled cheese sandwich
    Eugene R.

    Not been here in a bit because I shy away from chains. However the brisket stuffed grilled cheese sandwich combined with the 20% veterans discount is likely going to bring me back soon. Great service today to boot!

    Loaded Fries
    Hyoun K.

    Smokey Bones would have a higher rating but I feel the cost is too high compared to other barbecue places, local or chain. Don't get me wrong, the food is excellent and the service is top notch, but 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, a soft drink, and a cup of soup cost 100$ with tip. I was a little shocked and since I was paying for me and my coworker, I was wondering how I'd pull off a 100$ lunch expense. Cost aside, the food is really good. I just wonder how much the price deters potential customers. The loaded fries were excellent. Some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Crispy-shelled, pillowy-soft fries blanketed with BBQ seasoning, cheddar jack cheese, bacon, chipotle mayo, BBQ glaze, diced green onions, tomatoes, and buttermilk ranch. I honestly don't think you can get any better than this. I'm sure the loaded nachos are similar but fries are better than tortilla chips. The Brunswick stew was delicious, hearty, meaty. Lightly smokey from the pulled pork, it was a bit sweet though, as if they tossed in some barbecue sauce as seasoning. My entree was a 1/3rd rack of ribs, brisket, fire roasted corn, and broccoli. The cost was already $24.99 but the addition of brisket ADDED $9.50. I only got 3 slices of brisket. This is WAY overpriced. You can get a full slab of ribs in Nashville from an award winning restaurant for $24.99 flat with sides. For comparison, a full slab of ribs is $32.99 here. I wish this weren't the case because the food really is good. The ribs were sticky-sweet, tender with a nice balance of fat and meat. The brisket was smokey, seasoned well, and not at all dry. The fire roasted corn didn't taste fire roasted at all. The broccoli was better than I expected, only because they put a heavy amount of seasoning. Overall I liked Smokey Bones but I can't recommend it because of the price.

    Taylor was an awesome server. Definitely ask for her next time you come in. Her service and the food made this visit rock's roll! God bless you Ms Taylor!!!!

    Have tried the brisket twice: unpleasantly fatty both times. The ribs are much better well smoked

Tons of wing flavors to choose from! We got the platter, comes with 8 traditional/or boneless wings & two sides for 17$! Such a good deal, it was a lot of food, and we both had left overs! I got it with the Mac & onion rings & he did fries & fried okra so we could try different sides! All very good!! Mac was a bit bland , but salt n pepper helped!! It was overall a fun little laid back sports bar! Def would be fun for playoff games, tons of tvs, even some at the tables! Arcade room! Our server Marcus was great. He was friendly, gave us suggestions & refilled refills quickly! I come from 15+ years in hospitality! It's nice to still see great people in this industry that care about guest like I do!!

The onion rigs were great, crispy and tasty, so were the fries. The burger was cooked well and tasted ok as burgers go! My steak sandwich on the other hand was bland, I had to look closely as i first thought it was ground beef instead of steak! If this sandwich served in Philadelphia it would be thrown back to the kitchen! Service again was poor! Three ladies were standing arguing over the tabs, and ignored my friend who waited 4 - 5 minutes just to get their attention! She finally walked over to where the employees argued and had to ask for anther drink! UNACEPTABLE! Doubt if we are coming back! There are too many other burger joints in Johnson City with big screen TVs and better service! !

Therefore, it was my decision to give them a try for lunch today. With it being new, the interior was sparse but very clean. You order at the counter and then wait on your food to be made. I chose to do take out. After perusing the menu on the wall, I chose a 6" Philly and waffle fries. This came to a total of $15.00 and change! The full size Philly was $15.00 alone. I then waited almost 20 minutes to get my order. Now, understand that they were not overly busy. In fact, when I arrived there were only a few people awaiting food. Everyone else was already served. (2 tables). They only have 6 tables. I finally got my order and left for home. Much to my dismay, the meal was not what I expected for the loooong wait and high price. My half Philly was about 4 inches long and I had barely a handful of fries. I don't understand how they could have been such a hit with their food truck with such paltry portions and long wait times. Guess the students of ETSU are too busy playing on their phones to realize how long they've been waiting. I know I won't return

I was amazed at how fast the line moved and although the seating is limited to a few tables inside and a few more under an awning in front of the restaurant we were able to find a seat even though we ordered our food for take out thinking we'd be eating in the park but we got lucky. You order at the counter and they give you a number placard and find you when your made to order food is ready. Being this was our first time here we were clueless of the protocol but the staff is ready to help with any questions you have. We ordered burgers and shared an order of crinkle fries and both of us got a self-serve fountain drink. This is definitely a local's favorite and boy did they pack this place at noon, only to be out done by their take out orders, this kitchen can put out lots of food so the wait time is very manageable. The burgers were fresh and well put together and delicious, we only realized you have to ask for pickles whether or not you order the burgers all the way after we placed our order so they brought out a small cup full and they definitely are a must. The crinkle fries were crispy and delicious and perfect with a few sprinkles of their signature "dust". The staff and food definitely exceeded our expectations and I'd eat here again just to try a few more of their offering - this is a wonderful small town locally owned business...
