It was ok. Restaurant was empty and not terribly clean. Food was adequate. Server was friendly.

Server: zakiya Zakiya was very nice. The beer was good. I ordered broccoli with my shrimp but the shrimp seem like it was cooked days before and the broccoli was mushy. I sent broccoli back but it was still not good. read more

The staff was amazing so I feel bad giving only one star but everything else about this experience was terrible. The air conditioning was out so it was 100 degrees inside, the poor waitresses looked like they were going to pass out. It wasn't busy but it took over an hour to get our food. The food was almost inedible it was so burnt and disgusting. We stopped here after just landing in Atlanta and had a 2 hour drive ahead of us, but wish we had gone anywhere else. The prices were pretty high too and the portions were tiny. The plates were half empty when they brought the food out. read more

Gabby and Adrian are amazing. They always make sure everything is perfect. You will be in good hands with them both.

Our server Kassius did a wonderful job. It was all downhill from there. The food was overcooked, dry. All of it, which ruined it. The drinks were very weak, and the smarty pants I ordered were supposed to have nerds around the rim. No nerds. They were found at the bottom of my drink, a clumpy mess. The drinks are included in the photo with a picture of the drink in the menu. Terrible experience. Most definitely, I won't be returning. read more

This was a decent place to go and watch the game or pop in and have a few rounds with my wife on a random workday to unwind. Idk what happened within the last 2 years but all the good bartender's left, managers have poor customer service, and the parking lot is suspect at night. Break ins, fights, hardly any lights out there. We haven't been in months and don't plan on returning read more

Depends on the day. It's great fresh off the grill food if the right cooks are working and good customer service if the right manager is running the place that day. Otherwise u going to wait long to be seated and wait long for the food and it might not b seasoned and cooked that good. U can tell what kind of service u going to get time u enter the place read more

Good: We are not sure of the food would have received because they were out of everything we wanted...and that's have haven't to change our order 3x. Service: Hours of operation was clearly posted on the door. It's read open late until 2am. We arrived at 11:15pm, got skipped at 11:45 for other couple. Had to tell the hostess she forgot about us...stand right in front of her. Ambiance: Horrible. Once seated ordered drinks just to be told the bar was closed....then was rushed to order food then told what we wanted they could make it or were out. We left because why were they even open. Waitresses was rude. If they didn't want to work then they should have stayed home. We learned that even though the sign says open late until 2, bar shuts down at 11:30 and kitchen closes at 11:45. Clearly false advertising. Not worth the wait or service. read more

We stopped for lunch, checking the place out having dropped our trailer at our trucking terminal. Ate from their bar menu, and we're well pleased. BBQ sandwich (moist, light smokiness, salted well, no sauce) and boneless wings were awfully tasty. The toasted bun really elevates the sandwich. We sat at the bar, and the whole place was kinda empty at 1pm on Sunday. Very Clean, well lit. Music was comfortable and not blaring, smoke free. Adrian was very friendly and took exceptional care of us. Kept drinks filled, food came as soon as it got to the window. He didn't hover, but kept us cared for. This is a place to come back to. read more

Food was great and our server Tatiana was amazing! I really enjoyed my pulled chicken and sliced turkey.

Price - High for what was actually received, but I think prices are changing with inflation and this restaurant is no exception. Do not expect to find a steal of a deal here. Time - sat down right away. It was also a Thursday night. Plenty of empty tables. Time to order was quick. Wait for the food was pretty quick, granted only a two person table and nothing complicated was ordered. Wait on refills wasn't to bad either. Longest wait was for the server to get the money and check us out. Cleanliness - fairly good. Didn't check the toilets. Friendliness of our server Jimmy, good. Nothing stood out as exceptional nor great. He was focused on keeping his area clean, stayed busy, didn't make much conversation which was okay. Food - only disappointment is the filet mignonette were sad and depressing looking. See the photo. Food tasted okay. Portion size seemed small for a $29 dish! Like common folks corn is cheap! Broccoli is cheap... the meat looked beat up for what I was expecting. read more

I was served by Felicia she was amazing my food was hot and fresh I loved the atmosphere. Everyone was in good spirits . I think Ive found my new go to spot. Thanks yall read more

I just had the worst experience that really ruined my day. Nothing was right. The draft beer was skunky, the brisket Chilli had no brisket and tasted like it had ketchup in it, the mixed green salad was all Romaine, and the Manager had an attitude with me because I complained! The two Managers on duty today, 8/23, were both unprofessional. The first one told me that he didn't recommend the Chilli, and there was nothing he could do about it but take it off my tab. The second Manager told me that was the kind of lettuce they had, and added, "What do you want!" Which I replied, "I want what I ordered!" He snatched the salad plate and walked off! I left the restaurant and I'm still mad about it, and I was really hungry. Thanks for ruining my day!​ read more

The food was ok but the service was disappointing. Our wait for our food was more than 30 after placing our order. The atmosphere was not welcoming due to the attitude of our waiter. I don't know what was happening in the kitchen but the air was hostile. I was celebrating my Son's birthday but this turned out to be the wrong place to dine for our special day. Please offer training to your staff to not transfer their frustrations with staff onto customers. read more

Great time with ShaShi per the usual. Smokey Bones good times. Everything was as it should be with the right blend of everything amazin. read more

Horrible service. Ordered an alcoholic beverage that was only half full when I received it. The bartender made some stupid excuse as to why and the manager came over. He was determined to back the bartender and sounded like he was mentally on another planet. No reasonable person who orders a drink would think that they would receive a half full glass!! Then he lied and said he spoke to the GM, who told him that I'm stuck with my drink that way. Way to go , you saved 2 oz of booze to lose a continuing customer who actually likes bbq and smoked food. Good job read more

First time ordering and eating from the business. Whoever packaged my order did not care of the quality my family and I were getting. I expected smokey flavor from the chicken and beans. The beans had that more than the chicken. The chicken was moist, underseasoned, had soft skin, no genuine barbecue flavor. I question its freshness as the drumsticks were dry but the other parts were still good. Maybe it sat under a heat lamp. The broccoli was too crispy with a dash of garlic seasoning. The cost of the broccoli should involve full seasoning. No condiments like butter and sour cream were included for the reheated baked potato. Based on its texture, the potato was reheated and not fluffy and fresh. The toast slices were soft and near soggy. Why not put them in foil away from watery or steamy food? There was nothing to prevent tampering with my order. The bag was double tied and the temperature of the bag was warm. I do not live far from this store, and the delivery driver was on time. It makes no sense that the food was not hot but various degrees of warm. The food should have been hotter and fresher. This order was a true disappointment. If I had liitle cooking experience, I could still cook better than whoever cooked our food. The chicken looked nothing like its advertisement. I refried and salted some wedges because they were too firm, soggy and unsatisfying to eat as is. My family appreciated that, too. Imagine having to reheat your delivered food in order to eat it. Never again! Calling the store for help left me hearing laughter from the unknown female employee after I said I wanted my money back. She said other customers complained about the tough texture of the potatoes. read more

This is the third time here in Colonie NY. 1st time good food and service. 2nd time - at at the table over and hour and then finally paid for soda and left. Only about four tables full... 3rd time... waitress spilled ranch on my shirt and burnt me. Ok accident. Then they brought us banana pudding and was like sorry no whip cream. Charged us anyway. Also, the potato wedges were so burnt that they were hollow in the inside. It's a shame because the food is something we like but the service is just Urgh.... To be fair the manager offered us a gift card after we paid $120.00. We didn't take it, we won't be back. read more

My waitress Nicole was top tiered, she made sure we was taken care of all while serving us a smile as well. She definitely was the best part of our dining experience read more

Very inconsistent and something always goes wrong when using a delivery service. Don't order the wings if they're buy one get one on uber eats. Just ordered for the last time. Convenience doesn't win anymore... read more

Super friendly and efficient service. Had the filet medallions. They were a perfect medium rare, tender and tastey. Very resonable price for the quality. Would definately come back. read more

Yanni is awesome - incredible service. Checked in on us regularly, provided speedy service, and did it all with a smile.

Food was good and so was the service tonight. We usually get the cornbread muffins and they are DELICIOUS!!!!!

Visiting from out of state, we were looking for somewhere to eat after reading some of the reviews on yelp, we selected this restaurant. Our server(Johnny) was fantastic ,very professional and very helpful. We ordered the Pulled Pork platter with baked beans with fries and the jalapeño sausages and Bbq chicken wings with coleslaw and steamed broccoli-The food was very good and enjoyable I recommend to give this place a try. read more

I like the food but I got Korean pot belly pops -6 for $13.99 which was too expensive for what I received. Its was the maybe 1" in size. The chicken wing were so small and I felt was not worth what I paid which was $29. read more

Food is always good! Love the location and customer service was on point. Never a long wait.

Piss poor service wait time is ridiculous since the customers that was there was leaving but they had a full staff. I tried it twice, and got the same results both times read more

My very pregnant niece (37 weeks), had a taste for her favorite restaurant, Smoky Bones; so we headed there for lunch.... Fortunately for me, I (too) love Smokey Bones! The food is delicious, the drinks are great (although I refrained from drinking today being that my niece couldn't drink, lol); the atmosphere is a whole vibe, & our service was AWESOME!! Our server (Tashay) was not only kind, however she was also friendly, personable, menu knowledgeable, customer service oriented, & highly professional... A solid 5-star for service!! I'm a middle age woman (50 years old) who appreciates good service, so when you visit Smokey Bones (go for the food); & request Tashay as your server (trust me, you won't regret it!!)... You're welcome! Lastly... I would be remised if I didn't mention the shift manager, Vincent. With the turnover being what it is in the restaurant industry, it was really refreshing seeing him greeting his customers! read more

Gabby service was beyond excellent!!!! She knows the menu and fixed a mean drink. Not to mention the food was great. Definitely will be back and would love for Gabby to be my bartender again. read more

Monet was awesome! Very nice and sweet.....food was good as well.... .......... read more

In all honesty, I will never come back here again. I came here to pick up a DoorDash order and there was a pregnant girl with glasses that just kept ignoring me like she didn't like me or something. She got to everybody else but me I had to go to the bartender to get my food order And then as I was leaving, she wants to then reach out to me saying can I confirm the order if you don't leave me alone you didn't wanna have nothing to do with me now all of a sudden you wanna do that she needs a reality. Check whoever she is I won't even come here for normal food let alone a delivery again. read more

Extremely poor service and very rule, unprofessional staff. I attended to celebrate a birthday party. After being seated we waited 40 minutes and no one came to our table. After getting the attention of the manager, he switched off to get paper to write, we waited another 5 minutes and left. read more

We enjoyed our food and Zakiya was friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend. I ordered the salmon and he ordered the 3 meat platter.

Well, i've been here a couple of times over the years. From my experience, I didn't have any issues. Now, one time it was a longer wait... but that's life when you are a patient person. Food was good, the atmosphere is relaxing, alot of parking available as the other restaurant is closed. I only came on occasions, so I can't judge on a regular day. read more

Good food, bad service The bartender on Saturday nights is terrible. I hate to bust on people, but sure was terrible. Ten people at the bar and we're all waiting 10-20 minutes to order more drinks and food. Come on Smokey Bones you can do way better than this! read more

Waited for 17 min at host stand, along with others. No one bothered to even speak to us about being seated or if we needed to place a takeout order. Multiple workers just walked by......Guess that's how y'all choose to treat customers?? read more

I had a great but awkward experience. For starters, MJ the hostess is so awesome. She greeted my family with a smile and she even cracked a couple of jokes. We asked her about some suggestions as she seat us and she ended up changing my mind about what I originally planned on ordering. Everything she suggested was spot on. That girl really knows her stuff and she is darn good at running the front. The awkward part came in where a guy named Desmond told us that he would give us free shots of any liquor we chose if we leave a Google review. We ate, and we talked for a little bit. He came back and asked us what we wanted but he said that he'd bring them over because the server who had waited on us wasn't that good and she was slow. He then talked about how he's hiring all new staff so he could get rid of the old staff. I didn't like that part. Our server Denise was really good. She repeated our order, she brought everything we needed for our meal, and she had the refills coming. We were so uncomfortable after that because it was mean and unnecessary to speak poorly about his employee that way. We literally sat there for 15 minutes talking about it, wondering how many of his employees he does that to. We changed our minds about the free shots because it started to feel like a bribe at that point. I can drink at home to be honest. With the exception of that rude conversation he had with us, we had a great time. From the door to the end of our meal it was Great. read more

Sooo, this was not our destination but it was where we ended up. We had a party of 8 because it was someone's birthday. There was some confusion with the hostess, but after it was resolved we were seated quickly. Our server Dorothy was awesome. She made sure our drink orders went in right away. She answered all our questions. Didn't get annoyed when we added another person and that person wasn't able to make it. Food was okay. One complaint that a steak was a bit tough but no one else had anything significant to say. Thanks Dorothy. p.s. They are understaffed, it's still busy. If you know that going in then you won't get frustrated on the wait time for food. read more

All As!!! Our food was SO good and customer service is great as well. I will most definitely be going back. We got wings, ribs, chicken, macaroni, cheese, potato, broccoli, and baked beans. Everything was delicious! The manager walked around to check on people and that was my first time experience that! and I truly appreciated that that!! He was awesome. I forgot his name but he made sure we-were good. read more

First and last time visiting food taste like frozen tv dinner. The quality of food was limited for the price I was charge.
