Angel was a great waitress, very friendly and efficient. The fried pickles were really good, would def order again. Probably one of the best fried pickles I've had! I had the BBQ chicken sandwich and a side of baked beans. If you are looking for food that tastes like a good hearty home cooked meal this is the place for you! Surprisingly the restaurant wasn't too busy for a Saturday night, we were sat right away in a cozy booth. read more

The worst service ever! Waited for a friend and in the meantime, 10 min later someone asked me if I wanted a drink. I ordered a sangria. No waters were brought over until well after my friend came. In fact no service at all, until my friend got up and asked for service, then we still had to ask for water. I ordered an app when I ordered the sangria, and that wasn't even put in at all. The waitress, a different one took out orders and everything came out together. There were maybe 8 other tables full. The bathrooms were so smelly that I could hardly stand it and had to pinch my nose. The food was good but I'll never be back at least to eat inside. Awful read more

If you like ribs, this is the place for you. They do ribs, pretty well, but the best part is that their flavors are top-tier. We got our ribs delivered, and they were a little dry due to probably sitting at the restaurant for a bit before someone brought them. But their original flavor and their Memphis flavor were top-tier. I was a big fan of their baked beans which had big chunks of meat in it. Their french fries we're also crispy and nicely salted. I wasn't a big fan of their corn as it was lacking some flavor and salt, but the mashed potatoes and gravy feel like home. Overall, I would suggest eating at the restaurant if you have the option, so that the ribs are a little juicier, but you will not be disappointed! read more

Luke was fantastic friendly server! Enjoyed our happy hour visit and used in kind for a good deal!!

I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and fries,and I got just that...but so good.Everything had flavor,the meat was so tender and perfect with the barbecue sauce.I think it was worth the wait.I took it to go & made it home before I touched my meal.It was still warm to enjoy by the time I was ready to eat.No pictures,it was finished before I thought of taking any. :) read more

It was ok..... typical bar food..... service was decent at best..... probably won't go back

I came here with my parents last week and the overall experience was quite pleasant! We were greeted instantly upon entering the building and our nostrils were greeted by the glorious aroma of smoked meat. We ordered a flight of beer to split between the 3 of us, and the beer was cold and served quickly. I ordered a 9oz sirloin with a baked potato, and the waitress was able to snag some olive oil for me, despite it not being on the menu (if you've never had olive oil on your potato, you have to try it), and it was cooked exactly how I asked. The steak was a beautiful medium rare and was very tasty. The baked potato was a very standard baked potato, so I have no complaints there. The prices were not extreme, but it wasn't cheap either. My mother had the brisket, and it seemed pretty dry-- like it was held under a heat lamp for a long time. It tasted okay, but ultimately was disappointing. The atmosphere was solid as well. It was not too bright and not too dark and it wasn't too loud. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I may come back again sometime soon to try the bar food deals. read more

We walked into this location around 4:30 in the afternoon and it was pretty empty - we should have taken it as a sign. We had different types of items and nothing tasted rememberable or 'great'. The food was okay, at best. Now, my friend who accompanied me, truly believes the chips were store brought b/c they weren't even warm when they were brought out and they just tasted like regular bbq chips. The wings were okay but honestly, BBW has better - I tried their lemon pepper dry rub on half and the Korean on the other half. The burger was alright and so were the fries. The drinks were pretty strong, so I guess that made up for the food? Our serve Bria was about a month new and it was a little obvious. Also, they had different sauces on the table like Famous Dave's usually does but they were not very good sauces.. read more

Good BBQ and prices. Great wings. They don't try and kill you on the drink prices either. They make it affordable. Bar area was tremendously understaffed for a Fri night. Bartender Nick was running around like crazy but never complained and kept a positive attitude about it. read more

I don't recall ever being disappointed anytime I visited Smokey bones! I love the ribs and sides and was so happy to see that there's now an option for a 1/3 rack of ribs on the menu which is the perfect portion for me! I also love their creamy coleslaw!! My boyfriend loves their burgers and got the lava burger which was hot and delicious! I love Smokey bones big bar and look forward to being able to sit at it again. read more

Came in at 5pm on a Wed and the place was nearly empty. A few tables were still un-cleared. Seemed as if there was only one server on the floor. Food was sub-par. $19 grilled cheese brisket had so little meat on it that it didn't even cover the whole sandwich. And everything was sticky. The floor, the table, and all the bottles on the table. Left at 6:15 and it was still nearly empty. This place needs to close down... read more

Absolutely love this place! Food is always delicious and the waitresses are amazing! Very family friendly! Has a full bar also

Yesturday I added corn bread to the order and they don't even give it to me. I had to call to get it refunded. I gave them one more chance and tonight they don't add spoon for the soup I bought. They have no customer service here. Just aggravating when you visiting and and you leave not wanting to step into a smoky bones. Horrible staff workers can't do anything simple. read more

Very good place. The ribs were fall off the rib. I was able to have French fries since they promised they are fried in their own vat. Great service and great food. Will return. read more

Went there last night with my boyfriend for the first time. We ordered the wing special which was buy 1get 1 free. We ordered 2 different flavor they were supposed to be the traditional ones and we got the smoke ones. we sent them back. so as we waited we placed our main course meals. Which we both ordered the full rack of ribs. once We got our food the ribs were cold like they were in the refrigerator and was heated up, the sides were cold. so we just let them know we didn't want anything from here and got up and left o by the way we never received our wings. First time ever going their An we will not be going back read more

First time here, we came for thanksgiving! The service was really laid back and distant, I'm guessing because of the holiday--no worries. The food definitely tasted good and had a good structure, just a few minor things we couldn't pass on: -The mac & cheese was a little bland--even with salt and pepper added. -Loaded nachos appetizer came out a bit lukewarm--they only had sour cream to offer on the side; there wasn't any guacamole or salsa. The server *did* forget to put in our order for a small side salad, but that wasn't a big deal since she brought it to our table under 5 minutes. The 2 local IPA beers were crisp, traditional, and refreshing. The non-alcoholic Shirley Temple was quite refreshing as it brought back memories of always ordering it as a child. read more

Restaurant has definitely fell off. Bathrooms were disgusting Glassware had lip marks on them before we even put our lips close. Ribs and baked potato was lukewarm, obviously reheated. Our food came out quickly and our server was very sweet, unfortunately this was our last visit. The smoke has officially left the bones read more

The food was fast and amazing! Loved it for my first time here! Service was very prompt and friendly. Just a good sit down place to eat. Brisket would melt in your mouth. Pretzels tasted homemade and nachos were delicious. I got beans and tater wedges and so good! Son got a huge meat sampler him and gf loved. Lexie was very sweet and attentive. Will return. read more

This is the first time I've ever tried Smokey Bones restaurant. My family and I came to celebrate my brother in law's birthday and I was impressed with the food and service. If you like barbecue then this is the place for you. I had the smokehouse Mac n cheese with pulled pork which was awesome! They have many different sauces to add to whatever dish you choose. The restaurant itself was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Y'all. My bestie, her hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we ate every single thang on the menu today! Well, okay maybe not everything but we ate a LOT! No pics cause we were VERY hungry... Coming in hungry? Everything sounded good! We had the tacos (large, of course), melted brisket sandwich, baby back ribs, Buffalo wings & banana pudding with the Smooth Bourbon Blackberry Lemonade, Tito's Strawberry Lemonade and the Tropic Like It's Hot! Oh boy, did we enjoy our feast! And it was all ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you, Val (our server)! She was happy, fast & super wonderful! read more

This was the worse ribs I have ever had . I almost went to Texas Roadhouse or mission bbq but I decided to give Smokey bones a try . I regret ever placing a pickup order here . Ribs barely had any taste but was supposed to be Memphis Dry rub. My son had boneless teriyaki wings and fries and there was nothing special about his food either . read more

I've ordered through DoorDash twice. I wasn't impressed the first time, but the second time was even worse. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was charred, inedible. They had to see that when putting it in the box! The turkey was actually good, and the wings were really dry. The Mac and cheese was good, but next week I will probably order something else for delivery. read more

Food was great. Service from Erin was probably the worst I've ever had unfortunately :(

My first time at Smokey Bones in Pittsburgh though I've visited one in another city some years ago. Visited with a group. I had the imported baby back ribs (full rack) with a baked potato and Cole slaw. The ribs were quite tasty, they come sauced, plus there were several other sauces (mustard bbq sauce, Carolina mopping sauce, original Smokey Bones sauce and Chipotle) you could add if you like. The ribs were very tasty and tender, and quite lean. The potato was ok, but Texas Roadhouse's was bigger, moister, tastier. Cole slaw tasted good but was rather soupy with too much liquid in it. Our server was absolutely wonderful! They have a frequent-customer club and I applied while I was waiting for the meal and got $10 off my meal, great deal! It wasn't at all crowded at noon. The place was very clean, bright, pleasant decor; we all enjoyed our lunch. BTW, the person next to me got the fresh cut skin-on French fries instead of the baked potato and I tried one, and it was WONDERFUL. I'll definitely order the fries next time I go. Someone else got the fire-roasted corn and said that was wonderful too. read more

Came on a Saturday night at 630, did not use the waitlist for a party of 2. Wait was estimated to be 30-45 min which actually took 65 but it was just us 2 adults and OBVIOUS understaffing. Our server was very friendly and helpful, staying on top of drinks and checking on us. Overly apologetic for no reason. We had 2 rib dinners (preferred the St. Louis). They were unexpected good, we haven't been here in over 10 years. Sadly the sides were very "meh" including my potato wedges which were literally black and inedible. We also had smoked wings as an app which didn't really seem smoked and the sauce was sort of just dumped on. We did love the choice of multiple sauces! I saw a few other tables order the nachos and will try those next time. All in all for $70 a nice night out where we didn't have to get dressed up. The staff seemed to be run ragged with huge groups but was doing a great job. The cleaning however coild be better. The floor were sooooo sticky and the bathrooms disgusting. read more

the food and service was great. I was with a group of 10 everyone liked there lunch it was an enjoyable time

Dustin is the best bartender ever! Has the best drink and he is the sweetest server here!

We really wanted to love this place as we have been to another location, but unfortunately it fell short. When we first came in the hostess didn't even say hi or hello or how many or anything. Just ,"two kids menus?" As she's getting our menus together a few gentlemen come in obviously looking around and the other hostess very rudely goes, "can I help you?" And to that they respond that they are looking for their party who is already there. The hostess gives the most rudest look like she was offended that she couldn't get them their own table. Again weird. We finally take a seat and our waitress was amazing!!! She explained she was new and she was nothing but happy and friendly and helpful!! We finally ordered. I got a side salad with my steak medallions. I got my side salad first and the salad was jam packed in a small oblong shaped bowl on a plate which made it hard to even eat it. As I go to eat it, the salad is clearly frozen which causes a terrible taste and weird wilted lettuce. Our waitress again was so apologetic and was happy to get me a new one but unfortunately the second one was not right either and almost like the bad pieces were hidden under it all. So I sent that back as well. When I received my steak medallions one was wonderful! The other was a weird shaped piece of steak. When I ordered them it said 2 4oz pieces of filet mignon. Definitely not that. Our whole food order was $100. Not worth it. Overpriced. And staff other than our wonderful waitress was very unprofessional. read more

All around amazing food nothing disappointing at all and service was good as well had been in years wasn't because of anything bad just a little pricey but if you know that then you'll be okay read more

This place was amazing. While in town I had it a few times and it was great each time. Good selection and the meats were high quality. Their bbq sauces are really good and were one of the main reasons I kept returning. I would highly recommend and will be back when in town. read more

The service is awful. I left because it took forever to even get a water. They weren't busy at all either - I'm afraid the food will be as bad as their service. read more

First time at Smokey Bones in Robinson. The restaurant was freezing, especially in the back where we were sitting. Incredibly uncomfortable. I kept my coat and scarf on practically the whole time. I think the temperature cooled our food down pretty fast after it was brought out too, which was disappointing. That alone would prohibit me from returning even though the food was good. Secondly, it took awhile for the server to greet us after we were seated. I did notice they seemed pretty busy and only had a few waitresses. Once we finally got our food order in, the waitresses service was good. The food was the best part. Overall we enjoyed it. I liked the bay back ribs, the baked beans and macaroni were delicious! The sweet potato fries were average. The pulled pork was a little dry. My kids seemed to enjoy the burgers and fries. My husband enjoyed his food too. He got chicken, pulled pork, broccoli and sweet potato fries. He mentioned the broccoli was better than he was expecting. This would definitely be a go to spot if the temperature was better in the building. read more

really great service from veronica! and great food there. got free ice cream cookie for my birthday and it was amazing!

They have late night specials and their loaded fries are the bomb!!! I got ribs with smoked wings and there was a lot to eat! The rib wasn't really fall off the bone but it was tasty and tender! The smoked wings were juicy and were piping hot!! The dining area was huge and on a weekday night at 10pm, it was peaceful and quiet.

Smokey Bones Pittsburgh - I loved their smoked wings!!! :) - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Came to this location for the first. Have been to other Smokey Bones locations before. We ordered the pretzel bones appetizer, the combo platter with pulled pork, ribs, and smoked sausage with sides of fries and corn, and the prime rib dinner with corn and broccoli sides. Had a coupon of $10 off with a tab of $25 or more. What's Hot - Quality. Their pretzel bones appetizer (which are soft pretzel bread sticks) are super good. Hubby and I liked that the best. Warm, soft, chewy, sprinkled with salt and came with a yummy cheese sauce. Hubby liked his baby back ribs and the pulled pork. He said they were flavorful and moist. My prime rib was good, but it was somewhat dry. At least the prime rib comes with au jus and horseradish sauce, which helped with the dryness and added to the flavor. Good BBQ sauces, as well. Each table has 4 different types of BBQ sauces. Their unique and flavorful and come with a kick. Hubby and I both had the corn as a side dish and it was yummy. Slightly sweet and not overly seasoned. - Service. This may be hit or miss, especially based on the other reviews. Our waitress was new and being trained, so her supervisor made sure to explain there was another wait staff member and why they were asking our waitress questions, etc... We had no prob being guinea pigs in the training process, especially because they explained the situation. Overall, our wait staff was funny, polite, and helpful. - Coupons. I address my issue with their pricing below. However, Smokey Bones offers coupons that come in the mail, which is cool. So be on the lookout! Just be aware of the expiration dates. There are 3 coupons on their single page mailer, but each coupon has different expiration dates. What's Not - Kinda pricey. To be fair, it's not that the entire menu is pricey. However, my prime rib dinner was $29.99 with 2 sides. The total was over $70. With the coupon, it came out around $60. This isn't somewhere to go just cuz. In other words, I would only return with a coupon. - Quality. While the food we had was mostly good, we've had better. Again, my prime rib was a bit dry and we've definitely had better prime rib. Final Answer Am willing to come back again, but with a coupon. read more
