I just spent the nicest 5 min on the phone with Rory ( take out) he was precise, friendly, and quick with my take out order. As far as the food. The wings were nice and crispy! Love the garlic parm sauce!! read more

Fantastic bbq and even better service. Sarah behind the bar exemplifies best in class service. She was friendly, helpful, and always had the refills there before I had to ask. Definitely recommend and will be coming back for sure. read more

Had been years ago and just never been in the area that often so hadnt been back. Was in the area a few weeks ago & stopped in... OMG, so mad we hadnt been in a long time. These might have been some of the best ribs I have had. I know its a chain, but these ribs were SOOOO GOOD... Drinks were cheap, there are TONS of options on the menu (Unfortunately many of them are fried or slathered in something) I would have liked more options for proteins, but otherwise it was delish and I cant wait to go back for those ribs! This location is huge & there are several tvs. Staff was great, just tends to get busy due to location (Mall Parking lot) read more

Jake L was so great! Awesome service! Had the best shirley temple of my life and some yummy fried pickles!

Update on prior review about Uber eats and incomplete order. I reached out to person the lovely manager referred me to. To date: no response at all! Obviously customer care is not of a high priority. read more

Food choices were great. Didn't have to wait forever to get food. Alex served us and he really made the experience great. He was funny, great conversation, so polite. It was busy and we never felt like we were a burden, he just zoomed around multitasking and smiling. When we come back definitely asking for Alex again. read more

the food was amazing there was absolutely no wait and lisa was a doll face. would definitely come back when I am around the area

Cynthia was amazing, not only anexpeet in starwars but amazing at her job, friendly, polite, and kind overall the nest server I've ever had

Smokey Bones is an amazing place especially if you want an amazing bar experience. Sara B and Sarah K were my bartenders and they were totally on point. Even when the bar got busy I always had a full drink in front of me. If you want an amazing bar experience come to Smokey Bones! read more

- The ribs were raw, and the server did not want to return them. - The server did not want to give me a refill and i had to wait 20 minutes. - Very overhyped. - The ambience is very unwelcoming and under stimulating. - Had to wait 15 minutes for 2 people. read more

A good BBQ joint is hard to come by outside the city of Boston. Smokey Bones looks promising from the menu, but fails to execute on all the cornerstones of what good BBQ should be. I came in initially wanting traditional buffalo wings, which is what we started with. The wing breading was nice and crispy, and well sauced. Unfortunately the meat was way overcooked and dry. We both ordered BBQ platters for our main meals, brisket and pulled pork. Both were expensive and underwhelming for what we received. The brisket was dry, had no flavor and no bark. The meat should be able to stand on its own without drowning it in sauce, but it was barely edible without it. The side BBQ beans definitely were just Bush's beans from the can and the baked potato was soggy. The garlic bread was worse than the frozen Texas toast you can get at Market Basket, it was basically just a thick plain piece of bread. We should have just stuck to appetizers. The service was also mediocre at best. We arrived earlier in the evening on Friday and our waiter was frantically running around the restaurant when it wasn't even that busy. Maybe we'll come back for drinks and apps, but definitely not the BBQ. read more

Smokey Bones Tyngsboro - Brisket platter - very underwhelming - Barbeque Near Me - Tyngsboro, Massachusetts

See all

Kassandra was GREAT! We loved the service! Will come again - food was great, the donuts were fantastic!

We had Tyler as a server she was courteous and prompt. The brisket grilled cheese was amazing as was the Brunswick stew

Recently picked up some takeout and the food was wonderful as well as the staff. A woman named Ellie handed me my food and she was very kind and professional. Would definitely recommend this location to my friends!! read more

I'm really sick after eating there. I have been vomiting all night and shaking. The wings I was served were raw, the doctor determined I have had food poisoning. I REALLY wanted to like this place. Aside from the fact I now have to be on bed rest, the experience was pretty awful. Once I got there with my party, the hostess was acting so unaware..."How long is the wait?" She responded but she seemed so confused and said at a hardly inaudible volume..."yea"...and just pointed to the bar. I took that to mean that the booths were taken. We arrive at the bar and the oder was a combination of vomit, body oder, stale cleaning fluid and I don't know what else. I understand that happens when there's a lot of people...but we went back to the hostess and requested a booth. When we did, she said,"Yea there's booths..." I said we would prefer that. She just stared at us for a second or two and then said,"...Would you like to be seated now or later?" ...."now?" It was bizarre but still I brushed it off. Now to the dining experience. Our waitress was extraordinarily rude. We said we knew what we wanted, and she kept asking a question about wings or something else confusing...I don't think she spoke clear to begin with, but was just angry in addition. No greeting, basically,"WTF DO YOU WANT?" attitude. Where I ended up saying...sorry I misunderstood you....and she just left before we ordered. We didn't get our drinks, and had to remind someone. We finally got our meals, and this is also annoying...the prices for this caliber of a restaurant with the ingredients not being that expensive...complete rip off. It's around then that I noticed this place is like a hooters, and if they have customers they can get away with ridiculous prices. You shouldn't have to pay $30 for a wings app.... When I asked for her to wrap some food up, she just handed one little box to us. I requested another box and a bag, that never came. So on our way out the food tumbled over onto the floor. Immediately after leaving is when I started to feel sick, and immediately vomited the funky food. I threw away what was wrapped up, and continued vomiting. I figured it just didn't agree with me and that would be it. All night I was vomiting and shaking and symptoms got worse. The doctor I had to see basically said my symptoms were consistent with food poisoning. I come on Yelp not to bash, but to give a heads up. I've worked in the food industry, and this place hit all of the negatives. Now I'm gunna have to pay for medical bills in addition to being ripped off, treated like crap by the staff when I was polite, despite the medium amount of people there...there is no excuse to be a droned out nasty server. I am disgusted. read more

Terrible food and worse service. Any other establishment is better. Slimy undercooked wings.

Really enjoy the vibe and food at this restaurant. Consistent, delicious and great Happy Hour specials. Sarah on the bar is a great server. Fantastic attitude as well. My wife and I really enjoy this location. read more

I asked for a pink in the middle burger and got one that was almost burnt through. I didn't say anything because my family didn't want me too. And we waited for an hour to receive our food. Won't be going back. read more

Happy Hour is alive and well at Smokey Bones! Looking for a safe place to feel normal, we decided to check out Smokey Bones new [ample] outdoor seating. Our server, Logan, suggested two IPAs for my husband and I based on our preferences, 603 White Peaks and Otter Creek Free Flow. We both LOVED them and they were served in frosty mugs. We each had a second. I have to be honest that as a native Texan, I'm super-discriminate about my bbq, but the smoked buffalo wings here cannot be beat. They are truly something special. For dessert, we ordered the bag of donuts with chocolate and raspberry dipping sauces and despite being stuffed before they arrived, consumed every last bite. Because I don't want to mislead anyone, I must be honest that every main entree we've had here was good but nothing to write home about but the upbeat atmosphere and the way they treat everyone like a VIP more than suffices to keep my family returning. Thank you, Logan for a fantastic first foray back into Happy Hour. We'll see you soon! read more

Red head bartender was was rude ,crude and disrespectful ,this place has really gone down hill over the years ill never go back again.

The food is good, and drinks are usually good. Tap lines have failed to stay cold twice since I've been coming here. Service is usually.... Decent. Phenomenal personalities and they are very helpful. But quality assurance is sub-par. Missing items on plates consistently on some days more than others. It's always cold. Bring a hoodie. read more

Smokey Bones is definitely a go-to place for date nights or a group of friends. Our waitress was Erika who was seriously so incredible. Erika was so on top of her game and was super attentive and quick. She is definitely one of those waitresses that you wanted for them to keep coming over because she was fun to talk with. Service and food were both great overall. read more

What a great night!! Delicious beer and nachos and our waiter Alex is the best. So happy we found him once again!!

So the first question is are you having a shortage of plates because for some reason we never get them. Second we had to ask 2 times and waited till our app was almost gone before we received them. We ordered two drinks, both were wrong but at that point we were so aggravated we didn't bother asking them to replace them and she barely came to the table to check on us. First time I've ever considered no tip at all and I usually tip 20 % or higher. We had Tessa as a server. read more

Excellent smoked wings! Im sure the rest is good as well. For Nashua, this restaurant is open late. They serve fod till 11pm and close at 1am. The service is outstanding as well! read more

Good food and service. Cynthia was awesome and was really kind. I recommend getting the loaded fries!

Smokey Bones Tyngsboro - Family Dinner Deal - Barbeque Near Me - Tyngsboro, Massachusetts

We visit the restaurant for the first tine, looking for something different and mostly when. My husband loves BBQ. It was an ok experience but it's not our first option for restaurants. The wait for our drinks and food was too long and the food was cold when arrived, in taste it was ok, not delicious. read more

I walked into to place an order Monday night. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I got the buy one get one wings for the usual Monday night special, and the wings were perfectly cooked and sauced for my family to enjoy. The young girl behind the takeout counter greeted me kindly and took my order without an hesitation. I felt like my order was a priority due to friendless and overall atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back due to the great service I had ! read more

Kassandra was an amazing waitress! Great customer service and very attentive. We loved the bone fire, highly recommend!

I like to go out to watch the Sox, Bs Cs and Pats games, I like to sit at the bar, eat and watch the game. The food is good, the service is welcoming and attentive, I never feel rushed unlike some other places. It's becoming my favorite place to go. read more

Cuitlin was the most fantastic server I've ever met. She made us feel so comfortable. You need to come over and ask for her.

Caitlin was the best! The food was amazing and the service was great! Would recommend!

Caitlin was very nice and was very attentive thank you Caitlin Burger was great and so was the fried pickles yumm

Good starters. Amazing service. Overall very good experience. Get the cornbread it was so good, and you can get donuts!

Last fall you had a special, fried pork pies. They were very good and I wish you would bring them back

If the way we were greeted when we came in was any indication of how the night was going to go, then we should have known better and gone across the street to Outback Steakhouse instead. We were a party of 7 on a Tuesday night, and when we walked in, over half the place was empty, including a giant booth right near the entrance. The hostess let us know she wasn't sure if she could accomodate us, which certainly raised a few eyebrows, but let us know that she would go check. So we waited a moment, and she came back, letting us know that they could. Fantastic! We asked if we could sit in the big giant booth right by the door, we were told no, that booth is closed. Okay, well could we push two of the nearby tables together? No, that section is closed and we don't want to move those tables. Fair enough, we pointed at another section, what about over there, can we move those tables together? No, those tables are closed...are we seeing the theme yet? Perhaps a better name for this place would be, Tables Closed! I wish I could say that our service got better from there, but unfortunately the waitress made it pretty clear she really wasn't interested in providing quality service to our table. We were often ignored, or cut short when attempting to ask for refills, or to go boxes, she failed to put in a replacement food order, failed to take off a replaced item from the check. At one point a member of our party even had to get up and go into the kitchen themself to tell them they no longer want something that was taking too long to come out. Not once did we get an apology for any delays, issues with the food, or lack of overall service. The food is average, you could get it at any BBQ joint, the best thing they have going for them is a decent selection of BBQ sauce already on the table, and really the OK food and the BBQ sauce is the only reason they got 2 stars in stead of 1. Would I be willing to give them another try? Perhaps at a different location, but this particular location, never again. read more

Went there Saturday night. Service was friendly and informative. Cocktails were strong, got us wicked drunk. Had the brisket, shit was amazing. Melted in my mouth. I got the chocolate cake too because I'm a fat kid. Overall really good. read more

Went yesterday with my daughter for a quick lunch. We both got the salads w/pulled pork and baked potato. For starters table and menu were both sticky. You would think after being shut down for a while during covid these places would Take the opportunity to do a deep cleaning of the restaurant. But when our food came are baked potatoes were completely ice cold the cheese that was melted on the top of it or at least supposed to be melted on the top that you could peel off in one hard slab..'pork was really salty when we finished up I asked for a coffee with sugar and cream she brings out the coffee with the fixings but no spoon and not to mention there was stuff floating in my coffee. I def will NOT be back. Gone downhill- and I do understand places are short staffed but that is no excuse for dirty tables and cold food read more
