    Experience: New Year's Eve afternoon around 12:15 and we placed a Togo order. Facility: This place smells amazing as soon as you walk in. Not surprisingly it smells smoky and delicious. I'm also hungry The place has a sports bar vibe. Lots of TVs if you want to watch the game. They have high and low tables and chairs, bar seating and some booths. Service: We tried to do curbside order online but they don't allow you to use more than one gift card and I had 2 to use. So I went inside and placed the order. Paula took my order and she was awesome and helpful. Also, while waiting for the order to be done, a manager and even the bartender came by and checked on me to ensure I had been helped and to see if I needed a drink. Everyone is wonderful here!! Food: Bacon cheese burger and cheese fries - 3/5 the burger was great although somehow they forgot the bacon, but I told them we only wanted cheese and bacon on the fries, but they put some weird sweet bbq flavor on them. My kid wouldn't eat them. A waste of our money. Korean lollipops - 5/5 these were good... I especially loved the sauce as it had the perfect amount of spicy heat. Brisket sandwich - 5/5 yum... loved this!! Crispy Texas toast style bread with cheese and BBQ brisket. Sweet potato fries - 5/5 they were good according to my kid Banana pudding - they did not have this, but the manager replaced it with 2 other desserts, which was very kind. Hot donuts 5/5 - these are sooo good! We didn't eat the sauces, but this flavor reminds you of fried dough at the fair. Really rich and yummy!! Overall: I will definitely be back. I dropped it to 4/5 because of them messing up my kid's order and having to throw away the fries (his fav part). Otherwise service and food was great!!

    Pretzel Bones

    I have to tell you that for the most part I love this place and I really hope they stay! But..... when they become so cheap that they water down their cheese dipping sauce for the pretzel bones it makes me wanna go, Now why do I love this place? Cheese dip should not be watery and taste watered down especially when you pay 14.40 for 6 peices of bread sticks and nasty watery cheese. SAD. It's making me consider not coming back. AND I HATE HATE THIS FEELING. Sorry Smokey Bones, but I cannot spend my hard earned money on this crap again! Give me a shout out when you go back to cheese dip instead of flavorless cheese looking dip.

    It was what you would expect from an establishment like this. Food was decent, but nothing to write home about. The wait staff was super friendly and honestly made the experience so much better. They have buy one get one free wings, so there really is nothing to complain about if that is what you are after! I recommend going here if you want decent cheap food.

    Curve ball 6 Traditional Wings

    Everything was on point! The steak was delicious, perfectly cooked to my order, the mashed potatoes creamy, the broccoli steamed perfectly, the mac&cheese was sooo good, and that corn bread is to die for with that delicious butter. My hubby loved his wings, been coming here after a hiatus, and I have to say, this is delicious!! Not a one bad thing and this is our 3rd time in two months. Our server was so nice and friendly, the ambiance was nice too, even in the busiest that we have been here, we get our food hot and within a reasonable time. Definitely a keeper.

    As always we had a fantastic meal here. The service was excellent, food excellent and ambience, excellent!! I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in BBQ . Five stars!

    $27 Texas-Style Beef Brisket Platter

    If I could give this negative stars, I would. Dirty table. The advertisement for dessert was in need of a wipe down, as were all the bottles at the table (although obviously someone used to do that because most of the wording was missing from the bottles of BBQ sauce. Waitress was argumentative? Insisting there were 3 in our party when there were only two of us. 5:23 pm and they are out of corn...$27 for two slices of brisket. Way too salty and tastes a little "off". Normally I give a place a second chance, but the torn (and not taped seats) and a bathroom that was (at this point not surprisingly) dirty and only gives one square of single ply toilet paper at a time...will not be back!

    Pros: full menu til 12:30am, late night happy hour, decent food, tasty drinks, good prices, plenty of seating, pretty clean. Cons: a bit understaffed, bartender seemed overwhelmed, food took a while.

    HH Loaded nachos (meat not included)
    Ashley H.

    Wow!! My experience was so good! I came here for happy hour and Smoky Bones definitely didn't disappoint. I got so much bang for my buck! I started with pretzel bones and a 6oz glass of Merlot and then moved onto the loaded nachos (which don't include meat) but I ordered the pork sandwich that only cost $5 which had enough meat to spread over my nachos and enjoy the sandwich for the next day (: then finished with a cornbread skillet. All of this great food came to $25. I forgot to take pictures of the whole spread but I left happy, well fed and content with my leftovers. Staff was great and friendly. Open bar space and restaurant with a nice relaxed ambiance. Bobby was our bartender and he was great! I will definitely be back, especially now that I know they serve brunch!

    Great smoked wings. Chocolate cake was fresh and moist. Thankfully my DoorDash driver was on the ball to ensure the full order was bagged.

The octopus was a little chewy, but the flavor from the preparation and grilling made it YUMMERs!! My wife had the Mojo pork grilled cheese. She loved it. And she must have. She never offered me a taste. She kept it to herself. LOL. Again, a sold 4-star for food. See you all next time. Thanks.

    **INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Most of my fellow Yelpers know if food were categorized by a genre, breakfast and brunch has a special place in my heart. Ergo, I am on the constant search for more breakfast and brunch places to add to my repertoire. With that in mind, I must stress that Historic Downtown Melbourne a.k.a. Melbourne Main Street has an amazing number of breakfast and brunch places. But the one I admire the most is The Roots Restaurant Tavern, which I will shorthand simply to The Roots for the remainder of this review. Though an address is provided, it must be stressed The Roots is a little "off the mainstreet" of Melbourne Main Street. Just west of the train tracks, the road splits in which the northernly direction is the continuation of New Haven Ave. or the actual Melbourne Main Street. The Roots is on the southern road, right next to The Iron Oak. Take note that The Roots is quite a cozy location. On the outside, The Roots has this look of an old saloon out in the wild west. There are a few tables and chairs for outdoor seating, excellent for people-viewing while eating your meal. Inside, The Roots looks delightfully tacky with all the knick-knacks hanging around and about on the walls. Imagine how Cracker Barrel used to look before the new CEO decided the decor should be more minimalist. But my statement on how The Roots looks small from the outside definitely shows when you are inside, too. The place is small. They definitely utilize the space as best they could, with large party seating being in the back for only one party. Still, take note of this limitation. My waitresses were very kind and attentive when serving me. But I am sure you all want to know about the food. The times I have eaten here, I have had three meals: The Eggs Benny Flight, and Pancake Flight, and Shrimp n' Grits. I will detail each in the pictures of food (if I have them), but I will say that everything here was delicious. My one lone criticism is that some of these flights are best enjoyed with another, not by yourself. On a sidenote, the restroom is clean and stocked, but there is only one and it is unisex. As I said earlier, The Roots is the best breakfast and brunch restaurant, well for me, in Historic Downtown Melbourne. So it is understandable why I am giving them a five-out-of-five stars for their review. Food, service, and ambiance are all excellent and the issues are way too minimal for me to consider them having any major affect. If you are ever going to eat at The Roots only once. My suggestion are the flights. Either eggs bennies, pancakes, or mimosas, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Our server Cassie was a perfect balance of attention and space. We ordered entrees only. Country fried steak was well done and the white gravy complimented the breading well.
