    We visited Sat 12:30-1:30 there were about 7 tables taken. Last weekend we visited the Clearwater location and hoped we would experience the same food quality, unfortunately the wings were dry (overcooked) and the $32 Ribs were not worth the hype. *side note they use soybean oil to fry with.

    Stopped by for a quick snack, and surprised by an awesome happy hour. We had the mini nachos and boneless winds...both were super tasty. Disappointed that both of the IPAs they had on tap were empty...but the service at the bar and the food still made it a good stop!

    The Bone Fire Large
    Ji C.

    We visited Smokey Bones in Citrus Park and decided to try the Bone Fire, which includes Baby Back Ribs, sirloin, smoked wings, smoked sausage, chicken breast, potato wedges, and grilled peppers and onions. It comes in two sizes: the smaller option ($42.99) feeds 2-3 people, and the larger option ($69.99) is advertised to feed four or more. We ordered the larger Bone Fire but were a bit disappointed with the portion size--it comfortably fed about three adults rather than four. When the platter arrived, the chicken wings varied quite a bit in size, but when we mentioned it to our server, she quickly involved the manager, who brought us one wing to make up for it. There was also a mix-up with our ribs--we requested them with just a dry rub, but they arrived with sauce. Although the staff offered to replace them, we had already finished eating by then. To their credit, they adjusted the check by $10, which we really appreciated. Our server was excellent--friendly, attentive, and checked on us often, which helped balance out the small hiccups with the food. Overall, the service made the experience a positive one, and we would definitely return.

    Not near as good as the hype, food at best was average, service was slow, it just fell well short of expectations.

    Food is awesome, not just frozen and reheated. I have met the new owner and it is a local family…read moreowned location. They have some awesome drink specials. See pics to follow. The service has been top notch every time I have been. This time was late and we split a black and blue burger and smoked gouda fried Mac and cheese bites. It is a great pub feel and very welcoming. Isabel is awesome, as are everyone we have met who keeps us hydrated and fed..

    We visited Irish 31 in West Chase around 6:30pm on a weekday, just before happy hour ended at 7pm…read more As we walked in, we noticed a few patrons already at the bar and a couple of guests seated outside. There was a "Seat Yourself" sign, so we picked a table near the entrance, where a server greeted us promptly. When I asked if happy hour was still on, she confirmed it was, but then she left to attend to other tables. About 10 minutes later, she came back to take our drink order, which felt a bit long but understandable given that she was the only server working that evening. After placing our food order, the wait for our appetizer was about 15 minutes. We got the 17 traditional chicken wings, with a mix of sauces: half with the "Carb Bomb" sauce and half with roasted garlic Parmesan. The wings were decent, but nothing to rave about. The "Carb Bomb" flavor could have been a bit more exciting. The real letdown, though, was the Whiskey Chicken entrée. It was supposed to come with two chicken breasts, but what we received was essentially one chicken breast sliced thinly to look like two. This was honestly pretty disappointing considering the price. The dish just didn't live up to expectations. Despite these hiccups, I do want to give credit to the server, who was working solo and doing her best to handle all the tables. It's clear that she was stretched thin, and I honestly felt bad for her--she was hustling to keep up with everything. Overall, the experience was a bit underwhelming, and I'd probably consider other options next time, especially with the inconsistencies in the food quality.
