Smokey bones will always be a first choice for my wife and I, today we had fantastic service as always the food was amazing and it's always comes out fresh and fast. Burt was outstanding, he is the reason we come back every time, if he's working I always ask to be seated in his section, because of his swiftness, experience and overall passion for making sure everything comes out great and it's prepared correctly. Plus he makes some of the best drinks I've ever had. read more

We were greeted I asked for a table. The hostess asked if a half booth/half table was acceptable and we agreed. We were taken to our table and seated. The hostess chatted with us about the window and proceeds to walk away without taking our drink order. We sat for nearly 10 minutes without being acknowledged. We could audibly hear someone in the back say the grill was broken. After no acknowledgement after 10 minutes we got up and left. The hostess told us to have a great evening. Really? There were maybe 10 patrons in the whole place and people standing around at the hostess station. No matter, we went to Dickey's and got better BBQ for less money. If there was a middle finger emoji I'd add that too. My boyfriend says you can smoke his bone Smokey Bones! read more

My daughter and I went to Smoky Bones for dinner Saturday night. Burton was our waiter and he's was awesome He quickly took our drink order and returned with them so quickly. We didn't have to wait long for our dinner which was surprising for as busy as they were. The food was delicious! We didn't even have to ask for refills - Burton was there with them as soon as they were getting low! We'll definitely be back! Theresa H. read more

I would leave zero stars if possible. It was the absolute worst. prices are ridiculous the BBQ sauce is incomparably the WORST. service is horrible... Bathrooms are dirty. Would absolutely not recommend read more

This place was amazing the food was amazing and the service was great I would recommend the donuts for dessert and I had the pulled pork platter which was delightful. The hospitality and ambiance this place projects is great and comforting. Our server was Maggie she was great she was there when we needed her and she gave us heads up for when our food was coming, I got the meat sweats so I'm gonna end this read more

Update review:I went back to Smokey bones about 2 weeks ago and it was a lot better. The waiter for my table was A LOT better and the food was good. I got the street tacos (I believe that's what the tacos were called) and the taste was unique (in a good way) and they were reasonably price. I'm not sure what happened from the time I first came up to now but there was DEFINITELY a big difference. read more

Ordered Wing Experience through DoorDash, which is provided by Smokey Bones. Wings were so burnt that the appeared to be dry-rubbed. Additionally, none of the sauces that we're ordered had been provided. Contacted Smokey Bones in hopes of having the wings remade, and was promptly told that DoorDash had to handle the issue and that they would not remake the food. Smokey Bones passed the buck to DoorDash for inferior product unapologetically. Clearly, Smokey Bones has no pride whatsoever in the quality of the food they produce, and I will make sure to say as much to anyone willing to listen in the future. read more

sat at the bar victoria was amazing great service definitely will be coming back great food both tastes and visual amazing thanks

Great place to come with a big group of people since they have plenty of room and tables to accommodate big groups. I came here for a holiday dinner. The server was nice and the food was decent. They have sauces on the table for your food but I didn't really like any of them except the blue one. I had the pulled pork with a baked potato and broccoli. The price was decent and the pork was good although my friend complained that her pulled pork sandwich was dry. Overall, a decent place to grab a bite to eat but nothing stood out as extraordinary so it probably wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Arrived on a very busy night which was understandable and I expected to wait longer. When I arrived, I was given a time of 30-40 minutes before being seated & was instructed to sit in my car & wait to be called. Gladly accepted & returned to my car only for 45 minutes to pass & still no call. I then called, gave my name & asked how much longer & was told ANOTHER 30-40 minutes. Now I do understand COVID plays a major factor in seating & service times but please give me the privilege ahead of time of knowing how long it will take for me to be seated. I left & went to another restaurant without notifying the restaurant just to see how much longer it would take & from my second phone call, it was an additional 40 minutes so now a 1.5 hour wait when I was originally told 30 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous & I will never be servicing this restaurant again. read more

Grabbed the 2 piece combo. Ribs and Wings with a baked potato and some fries on the side (not pictured) All I can say is WOW! These have got to be the best tasting ribs I have ever had and with a selection of about 5 different sauces to put on them puts them over the top. I chose the spicier chipotle sauce that brought these wings and ribs over the top of other places I have had. Definitely ribs gone right here. Keep up the good work. If I'm in the area again I'll stop in for round two! read more

I made a pretty simple order for 3 desserts (2 of them come in premade) around 9:30-9:45pm tonight through DoorDash for my Birthday. Through absolutely NO FAULT of DoorDash, Smokey Bones handed my order off to some random other delivery person (so they say). When my Dasher called me to inform me of this mishap, he got in contact with DoorDash which of course tried to get them to remake my order. Apparently this was too much hassle to correct a mistake that they made. They flat out told DoorDash that they had no interest remaking my order that they wrongfully gave to somebody else. Unbelievable. It would be one thing if I ordered at 12:30 am when they close at 1am. But this all happened at 10:30pm. Plenty of time before they close. I'm very disappointed in their service. Message to management: Teach some personal accountability. It will do a lot of good for this particular location it would seem. P.S. If I could give rate zero stars, I absolutely would. read more

Well, place is probably known for BBQ and meat, but I got the salmon. Very good choice. Done just right, as a few places I've had salmon, it seemed under cooked. Got the dirty rice and broccoli for sides. The rice had corn and the usual spices but also sausage, which I'd not seen before. Really good that way. A glass of Prosecco and I was set. Waitress was just right, stopping by at the right time and just frequent enough. A good dinner after a long day. read more

Stopped in for lunch. It took 5 minutes to get seated, even though my party of two were the only ones in line. It took 40 more minutes to get our food. The brisket sandwich was not recognizable as such. Four other tables waited just as long for their meals. I would not eat here, I certainly never will again. read more

Was quoted a hour wait time when we got there. The people after us put their name in and tipped the host 15$ and got seated right away. I should of taken this as a sign and just left right after. Once we were seated the table still needed wiped down. We told our server about this twice and she said she would get someone to wipe it off even though the cleaner bottle was 2 steps away from her at the micro computer she put our order in at. I ordered a side salad with my meal, that ended up coming with it because I never got it beforehand. The meat was mediocre and my baked potato wasn't cooked. Server also forgot to take a drink off our tab that we never got because they ran out. read more

The worst service i have ever received. we walked in around 8pm and there was probably 10 tables in the entire restaurant so they were not busy. we walked in and a waitress told the host to wait to seat us because there was a lot of food in the window that needed to be taken out. my boyfriend and i agreed to wait but we weren't sure why a lot of food being in the kitchen window had anything to do with us being sat at a table instead of standing in the waiting area. after we were finally sat at a table (10 minutes later) we were all excited to eat because we haven't been to smokey bones in a long time. to sum up the experience we waited at our table for about 25 minutes before we decided to get up and leave. we never had a server great us or bring us drinks. there was one waitress that walked past our table about four times and never asked us if we were helped. terrible customer service! and after reading the reviews about the food being terrible and service sucking, i'm glad we decided to go to Sakura express down the road instead. coming from a waitress at texas roadhouse, this is absolutely mind blowing to me and would never happen at my restaurant. now i understand why our restaurant is so busy, cheaper prices, better food, and better customer service. read more

Went there not to long ago and the atmosphere was alright the food was amazing however the only different or weird thing we experienced was that we still had to wait 40 min for our order even though there were only like 6 customers inside ( most at the bar) read more

5 Stars no more Wife and I have dined here several times in recent months. Food and service have been excellent each time. We'll be back for more. March 29 - so much for the 5 start review! After posting the above review with 5 stars, had dinner there last night. Food was good - however - both dinners for wife and self were just barely warm. There were only a handful of guests so it was not due to "too busy". Server offered to have them warmed - no thanks - I want my food to come to table the first time cooked properly and hot. I requested extra butter for my baked potato - here came the butter sometime later after the potato was consumed. I pointed to the empty potato skin when the server set the butter down - oops. read more

Stopped here late night when traveling across country, grabbed a burger and a turkey burger. I had the turkey burger which tasted fine but subsequently came down with food poisoning the next morning. Unfortunate as it tasted good read more

Service was extremely slow. Something was floating in my drink and they don't wipe down the condiments even w covid, they just move them table to table. read more

This place used to be good years ago Very disappointed with the food service was good Beef brisket sandwich was just terrible will not be back read more

I am a big fan of the Smokey Bones in Woodbridge Va (back home). So I was extremely disappointed by my experience at their Maumee, Oh restaurant while passing thru town. Our table was sticky from the previous guests and the waitress couldn't be bothered to get it wiped down for us. I ordered a Moscow Mule while I waited for the table wipe - she brought a tin with lemon juice and some type of clear alcohol (not vodka and no ginger beer). When I complained. She looked at me like I was personally insulting her. I ordered a different drink - switching to a rum cocktail. Again, this was made wrong. It was fruit juice with some type of alcohol made to appear to be rum. Everyone knows they substitute their liquor in New Orleans - serving cheap flavored moonshine while charging for top shelf. But I never expected this in a Smokey Bones or in Ohio. Someone needs to drop a dime with the Ohio liquor authority. Either the manager or bartender are substituting their booze. We paid the bill and walked out without ordering dinner. Went down the street and had a great meal at Longhorn Steakhouse read more

Bought some gift cards on a deal since it's by the wife's work and decided to give them a shot. I'll say I was discouraged with the reviews recently but still I had to try them. Please for anyone reading recent reviews read this: Give this place a chance! So we started off with the skillet cornbread which was excellent with the honey pecan butter! Wife got the smokehouse chicken sandwich with a salad and slaw which did not disappoint. On to my selection...... I've been a brisket snob all my life as my mother made the best however so nice she passed 5 years ago the brisket void is there! I chose the pick 2 with the 2 sides. Brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage with potato wedges and slaw. The wedges seemed like they were hand cut and fresh in house made, very well prepared. The sausage was good, probably would have liked it better as the "corn dog" meal but still was good. The brisket had a nice Smokey tone to it, was pull apart tender and was not dry. I would definitely go again to have it! Service was great, restrooms and restaurant was clean. We'll be back. read more

Smokey Bones - Pick two combo with two sides - Barbeque Near Me - Maumee, Ohio

The girlfriend and I went late on a Friday night, she ordered a six ounce steak with corn and mashed potatoes. I ordered the smoked wings in buffalo sauce and two tall bud lights. The food was fantastic, amazing wings considering this is not a wing place. I had a bite of the steak and it was tender, juicy and perfectly medium rare. The bill was a little over 40$ but you pay for what you get. Will go back again. read more

Paid $66 for two meals the meat was like leather all the meat was dry as heck and nothing had bbq sauce on anything it's a freaking bbq place they didn't ask me if I wanted any....waste of money... -5stars read more

My husband and I have been here 3x in the last 4yrs. The first 2 times were good. This time was horrible. The server was very rushed and rushed us. We got the bacon as an appetizer. It was so cold. Like refrigerator cold. It had the white grease on it like when grease sits in the cold too long. The server didn't come back until she brought our food so I couldn't ask her to warm them up. So we are 2.5 pieces out of 4 that cost around $11. I got the ribs and chicken with mashed potatoes and corn. The chicken was good, hardly any sauce and the sides were good. I got the baby back ribs because they usually have like no fat on them. These had more fat on them than I've ever seen on ribs. Literally had one bite of meat. My husband got fried wings with fries. The wings had the strangest smell but we thought maybe it was just the oil needed changed. He got the sweet brown sugar sauce. It was supposed to be sweet. It was spicy and it tasted of so much cumin, if you closed your eyes you would think you were eating thickened taco sauce. My husband put ketchup on them to try to mask the taste so he could eat them but it was too much. He could only eat 3. The server checked on us once and she did it so quickly as she was walking you couldn't tell who she was even talking to. I was so irritated that when she came to ask if we needed boxes I just said "absolutely not. This meal was horrible." She said "oh really?" In a condescending tone.So she had the manager come over and he asked if we wanted anything different and suggested different wings (smoked with sauce on the side) to my husband and he got them to go and took $20 off of our bill. The wings we took to go were no better but I appreciate him taking some off the bill because the food was crap. read more

Courtney is a great waitress. She always remembers our food and drink orders! Very friendly and sweet!!

The staff that was very nice but the food I had was just average. I got wings and chicken fingers not something that I would get again. They were not bad just expected more I guess. Overall it's not a place I would return to. They were super nice though I can't express that enough. read more

My friend recently ordered catering to go and told me what a positive experience she had. So, when I needed a good meal for 12 people, I ordered the Party Pak online. It was GREAT! Everyone loved it. Easy to serve, easy to clean up, pleased everyone. We got the brisket, pulled chicken, and traditional wings, with Cole slaw and beans as sides. All delicious! Leftovers were good, too! I chose delivery, but that was pretty expensive, so I'll pick up next time. The order was perfect when it arrived, and it was about 20 minutes early. What a great find in Smokey Bones! read more

Okay, honestly I ordered the nachos and I could have just made microwaved ones at home instead. I need to go somewhere else to eat so I can get this taste out of my mouth. Never again, terrible. read more

The food was pretty good for the most part! Wings were a little small but the flavor wasn't bad. The brisket was actually very cold, not even like it had been sitting and went cold, more like didn't even attempt to heat it today lol. That was also pretty dry. Anyway this was just one bad experience, usually the food is fiireeeee tho read more

The food was better than our past experience. Under new management and I see positive changes. I love the brisket and the ribs. Kudos for getting this place back on track. read more

Stopped here on my way to Columbus and had lunch. We were seated quickly and orders taken in record time. I ordered the Stacked Baked Potato & Salad, my friend ordered the fish and chips; we decided to split the entrees. The potato was well cooked, and piled high with all the goodies that you expect on a potato and pulled pork! Oh my goodness. This was really, really good. The fish was cooked nicely, light breading on it. I can see myself coming here again. Great service - and the checking out at the table, splitting the bill yourself was really interesting. Great food, great wait staff. I would stop here again. read more

Stopped here for lunch while on the road. I went to the restroom while my husband ordered our lunch. Based on the conditions I found in the ladies restroom, I would have passed on eating here. First, the sweet, sickening smell of bathroom deodorizer hits you before you even open the entry door. Then the dark, dingy pink metal stalls with broken locks, shabbily replace with hardware. One toilet was busy continuously flushing. There were two sinks, only one was operational. Empty towel dispenser. Instead of placing paper towels to use for drying your hands, there were stacks of dinner napkins on the sink. Well, those dissolve instantly when wet hands hit them. I walked hoping to stop our lunch order, but I was too late. Thankfully we had an average meal, but I couldn't erase my bathroom experience. Just the thought that the employees were also using this pigpen made me queasy. So long "Stinky Bones." Zero stars. read more

The brand new Bone-Fire for 4 people was so massive and so delicious to eat. Between the ribs, wings, burgers, corn, and everything else this place has to offer is just so yummy. The service here is very good and highly recommend this restaurant to others. read more

It was terrible. The food was overpriced, service was bad, food was the worst!! Mac and cheese was so hard you couldn't eat it, I think it was old, the baked potatoes were old as well, the bbq tasted old, do not waste your money!!! I should e went to applebees next door! read more

Going here for the first time I'm thinking they must've resolved their issues because the service was fast, nice atmosphere, and the food was good. read more

We got the smoked wings with half and half of the dry rub seasonings , pint of mashed potatoes and gravy and a pint of coleslaw. Everything was hot and fresh. The staff was friendly and extra helpful. read more

Based on other reviews, this seems like a mixed bag, depending on the night they're having. Personally my experiences have been positive, though service can be a bit spotty later at night, and if you arrive after 11PM, they're often out of many of the entrees. That said, I like good beer, and they usually have a good selection on tap. Their house "Bones Brew" is actually pretty good too, kind of an Irish red ale. Their sides have never disappointed, and the baby back ribs are probably the best I've had. No need to pick them up or use a knife--the generous portions of tender meat was literally falling off the bone. Good BBQ sauces too. I was taken out for "authentic Texas BBQ" when I was down in the Austin area, and it was only about a tenth as good as Smokey Bones. The prime rib is also good, if they're not out of it, as is the chicken. Prices are a bit high, though portions are fair. Deducting one star for the prices and occasional odd service experiences. read more

We loved this place, great smoked wings. Every time we come here the food is really good. service was great also
