Wow. My advice, turn around and leave! Poor service having to ask for things multiple times. An appetizer plate was served at our table with a long hair on it. We had to get two new sets of silverware with food stuck on them. Asked over and over for refills of drinks and waters. After 50 minutes we received our food. Just our service from seat to door was nearly an hour and a half. Food was ok but made you wonder if this is how they give you service, what could be up with the food?! Game/pay consoles were on the table and my children grabbed them and of course began immediately playing. We got a surprise charge on our bill for the game play! The waiter didn't explain the console nor was it on the menu. The manager did agree to take it off. Then the waiter left our table twice to bring us a bill and then refused to give us one. Making us use the console to pay. He split our bill incorrectly and refused to fix it or give us a paper bill (Which was possible). We were also over-charged for a side the waiter told us the wrong price. read more

Great place and location, came in and got served great customer service and food. Damone was more than helpful with everything.

The many times my husband and I have been here the service has been fantastic, the food cooked as we ordered it, and management was always nearby on the off-chance we needed anything our server couldn't help us with. Great location, fantastic food, and wonderful service! read more

We had a very animated waitress that livened things up for us. I had a cheeseburger that was pretty good. The drink specials were a plus as well. read more

Major downhill turn! We just left after sitting for 15 minutes with no server even acknowledging us. This is AFTER two servers came in out section and walked right past us! The last visit we will make. read more

Food was not bad but service needs some serious work. Sitting in the bar area.. Had to flag down our server multiple times. Even though I was chatting with my friend that I was here with, it was definitely a good hour before we got our food. I had fish and chips, and my friend the macaroni (Philly version). Both were pretty good, typical American dinner food.. my fish was crispy enough and fries were pretty good. Flagged down the server a few more times throughout the meal.. there were convenient tablets at every table for you to check yourself out. I liked that it was easy to split the check down the middle this way. Mediocre... read more

Me and my husband went to this restaurant for dinner on weekday. Restaurant looked clean. The waiter was so nice and professional which made us feel welcomed to the place! We ordered nachos for appetizer and full size baby back rib, mushed potatoes, French fries, broccoli for main and shared. Everything was wonderful especially baby back rib was so easy to break, nice flavor, it was just so perfect! read more

We ordered for delivery yesterday. Delivery went well and was quick we ordered 2 meals. First the brisket: tasted good but had very little bbq sauce in it and no extra in the bag (as a bbq restaurant I would think they would at least put a little on the side in a to go order). I had a Cesar salad side and macaroni & cheese. My salad had no dressing at all, just Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. The macaroni container had the cheese at the bottom and noddles at the top, tasted almost like boxed cheese sauce with a hint of Smokey flavor. Second meal was create your own meal with sausage and 4 lemon pepper wings- sausages were good, I only received 3 of my 4 wings, sides were coleslaw and onion rings - again no sauce for the onion rings at all. Super disappointed in our meals. read more

3.75 I went here with my mom on a weekday afternoon for her first time. I'm used to the Bowie location and have been there probably 5 times. This location looks the same and it was empty since it was 2:30. The blond bartender waited on us and we got the cornbread app with the pecan maple butter, I swear that stuff is amazing. The menu has changed a bit because I guess someone bought the company since the last time I've been there. We both had the original ribs and they were very good. Next time I want to order those fried mushrooms. I felt as usual like I was in a big log cabin. read more

Food: B Service: A+ I thought this was a pretty cool spot. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I also thought the little ads throughout the restaurant were quite entertaining. I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars because I thought they had great customer service. Possibly some of the best service I've experienced in a while. The food is okay. I'm sure you can get great BBQ elsewhere, but it's worth a visit. read more

Horrible experience here. Food was bad, service was slow, and management was non-existent/pointless. We waited a long time for our drinks which arrived with condensation on the glasses and watered down from sitting out for so long. Kettle Chips: Bland/horrible (took 20 min to arrive) Combo platter with pulled pork and beef brisket: so/so (45 min to arrive) Ribs Platter: so/so (45 min to arrive) Not good BBQ at all! The place was a waste of time, and the servers and mangers did absolutely nothing to make up for the poor experience had here. This is the type of place I should have walked out of. For full ranting/photos check out my blog http://apeseats.blogspot.com/2011/08/smokey-bones.html read more

ThIs place was great. Tender, juicy, succulent meat and the portions were very large.

I would have liked to give this place a higher rating, but I am not sure that it even deserves 3 stars. We walked in for a late dinner. The place is dead. The dinner rush has come and gone and apparently so has the host staff. Two parties of two were waiting in front of us at the host stand. The manager had to go wipe a table each time before he could seat another party. In the meantime you can see employees screwing off in the kitchen, instead of helping with the line at the door. After we were seated the service moved quickly and seemed friendly. But something was off. It did not feel sincere. And why did three different servers come to the table for no apparent reason right after we placed our order? It seemed as if they were sizing us up. The food was good. They offer smoked wings and I would recommend those. We also tried the brisket and pulled pork. The brisket is sliced very thinly, more like deli meat or roast beef, but it was very tender and flavorful. I had gravy on my mashed potatoes and it didn't offer any flavor. The fiery corn was fine and a nice change. On the way out, the staff was hanging out near the door and the 'good-byes' were a little over the top and some regular was also adding his 2 cents worth. I can't really put my finger on it, but this place gave me the creeps. Ever seen Deliverance? read more

I love Smokey Bones. The ribs are very flavorful and have plenty of meat on them. The staff always seems to be very nice and attentive. The restaurant is very clean. I have never been disappointed when we decide to go there. read more

Enjoyed the food and my experience but I just wanted something that wasn't available. I've been Searching for actual beef ribs but to no avail. My server had no answer to the reasoning but I don't truly fault them. read more

Food is good, especially the ribs, sides, and wings but the burgers are not good. The meat tastes off...very processed. SERVICE....well it's hit or miss lately it's been missing so bad when we recently went and I had to write a letter to both the restaurant and corporate office to complain since we were so surprised of the level of service from wait and kitchen staff. We also observed the same bad service and other complaints from 3 other tables around us. Maybe better off to order to go :( read more

I spent time here and April and the food was decent and service was horrible. I am back, hoping things had changed......nope! The bar had three people spread out so the four of us had to get a table. We sit down and 15 minutes later the waitress comes over. We order everything at once. 10 minutes later, my 4 ounce vodka tonic arrives. My friend requested all flappers for wings and still got half and half. Food was dropped and waitress was gone for the rest of the meal! No more drinks, food or anything! The waitress did try to fix the wing issue, but the damage was done. I know they do not care, but I was there five nights a week in April. I will not go back again. I do not know if it is lazy staff or bad management, but this place needs a new staff. read more

The ribs and smoked wings were good. The sides were below average. The baked beans tasted like they were out of a tin with small bits of canned meat. And $8.25 for a tall domestic beer? Ridiculous. Not planning on coming back any time soon. read more

The absolute worst. This place used to be well staffed and the food was well prepared and aesthetically pleasing. Over the last 12 months something changed. I gave it 3 chances and everytime the food wasn't cooked to order, something was forgotten or a server took over 15 minutes to help us after sitting down. Today was strike 3, obviously we weren't welcome for some reason goven how all the tables around us were served as soon as they sat down. Now onto the food issues. I have ordered hamburgers routinely, i usually cite pickels on the side. They never get this right. If you ask for medium well you get either medium rare or super well done. The rolls tend to be old and dry and crumbles when you eat it. On another occasion I ordered buffalo chicken wings they tasted like someone had put them in the desert for 24 hours before serving them to me. Finally, as we were leaving this evening my wife asked the manager how long it takes to get a waitress upon sitting he said 30-60 seconds. That was lot faster than the 15 monutes we sat there. Furthermore, the manager could have cared less. To mote, the place was at 40% capacity so there is no reason to treat customers like this. Finally, we used to go to this smokey bones every other week, never again. Avoid this place until they fire the management, cooks and wait staff. read more

My daughter and I went to smokey bones for a late Sunday lunch . We both order the combo chicken wings and half rack of ribs with the sides fried apples & French fries. Bake beans and Caesar salad. With a skillet corn bread appetizer. I was very unhappy with whole visit the last cornbread wasn't cooked, we had something in our drink and the ribs we're not fully cooked. Also the fries weren't cold and not fresh along with the fried apples had no taste and was under cooked. read more

Tyler was awesome. Very attentive and helpful. Introduced us to some new drinks. Thanks big guy. Service was great even though it was pretty busy. The icing on the cake was when my one year threw up on the table. Tyler was so helpful. Would most definitely come back if he's there. Great job. read more

Friends birthday, so he choose this place. Everyone's food and beer was fine. However, what is with the service of this place. We barely got attention from our waitress, so it took forever to get our checks. Also the checks were all done individually, but all 6 of us are couples, so there should have only been 3 separate checks. Yea the service of this place needs to be tweeked a bit. read more

We had put off going here due to the Yelp reviews, but a coupon in the mail had us give it a try. We went on a Saturday night and it was busy but our wait time for a table was very short. Within seconds of sitting down our waitress, Alexis, was at the table. Recognizing that we had never been before she gave us a quick run down of the menu pointing out her favorites. She suggested the fried pickles, which we tried and they were really good. I said I was in the mood for a burger and she recommended the Smokehouse burger and it was awesome. She also recommended the loaded fries, and I had those too. She suggested the Tuscan macaroni for my wife, which she ordered. I'm seeing a theme now.. My wife's macaroni was awesome too. Alexis was super fast to bring refills, napkins, etc. She was super friendly and an awesome waitress. She explained the rewards program and even after we paid she offered to bring more refills. Five stars seems like not enough. We'll definitely go back! read more

The meal was sooo good. I recommend the Bone Fire when you visit. Bring your appetite - and a friend to help you eat it all. Would definitely visit this location again read more

What can I say about Smokey Bones? The staff is wonderful. The food is delicious. The atmosphere? Stellar. When you're here, you're home, because we're all in the family. Brittany and Cyndi and Anna and Alexis? Best staff ever! Nuff said! read more

Ok, At smokey bones tonite on Christmas Eve. Not packed at all and was seated quickly. As u can tell by my pics food was delivered in good time. But you know there is a "but" the sauces here r hard to choose from. I like the chipotle Bbq out of the other sauces they have. I'm a sweet baby rays girls so if it doesn't come close, I really don't like it. The dry rub was ok and the baked potato was ok. Overall ok nothing to brag about. My kids Killed the wangz. The fries were delivered late to the table as the meal was almost over. Maybe next time. read more

Pretty good fare. I ordered the loaded fries and pickle chips. Service was good. No issues here.

A lot of food at a pretty good price. Mango lemonade was AWESOME! Good spot to watch any televised games.

Drink prices here are great but the services and food is mehhh. I am not sure which is worse their food or service, I say probably the service? I wanted give it a one or two star but with the awesome drink prices; I had to give it couple of extra stars. Then again, does anyone go to this place for food other than to go with their drinks in first place anyways? read more

Karaoke Nights are the best. Love the angry orchard, I drank 3 and got drunk. Big glasses. I'm not a big drinker, so that's why. Sang Rob Thomas: Smooth. And it was pretty bad. But no one judges and people are good and people are bad at singing. Was actually nice not getting boo'd or nothing. Just went up there and had fun. Was so nervous before going up. But anyways Chx tenders are ok. Not amazing but ok. Has a cool bar. Gets very packed and crowded and it's a cool place to hang with friends! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My boyfriend and i walked in and waited ten minutes before I asked someone if we are supposed to seat ourselves or what not. This was my first time going to Smokey Bones and after working in the service industry for over five years I can say this was the most unprofessional wait staff I have ever encountered. No greeting at the door. No one greeted our table AFTER WE SAT OURSELVES and no one brought menus so we left after wasting half an hour. The employees did not care at all. And we saw multiple ones standing around. Extremely rude. My boyfriend went to the one in Pittsburgh and said it was amazing. This location does a disservice to the entire company. Do not go here. read more

I have been her several times over the years and always had great service. The ribs and wings are good and get to the table quick. We had some coupons and ordered wings to go for a home get together recently and they were a hit. I'msure I'll be in again soon! read more

This is quickly becoming our favorite bbq place. It's a nice atmosphere and the bbq is always good. We really enjoy the buffalo chicken dip. But they are willing to make a few changes lee our request every time without issue. I also like how they have veggies for the kids meals. I hate ordering French fries for my kids. They have fresh options that are always right on. read more

Just finished they're largest burger, smoke stack. Large in size, small in taste. Will fill you up. read more

The dish that I ordered was disgusting. I had the 1/4 chicken with baked beans and mashed potatoes. The beans were too soupy and the chicken tastes like it was cooked in a microwave. Nasty, nasty, and nasty! This was my first time eating here. :( read more

Best drink specials in town!!!!! open daily til 2am? kitchen doesn't close til 115-130. you can't beat that. And they have late night specials for the food as well. The crowd itself is young and could be at times...Ratchet lol But overall, great place to catch a drink and socialize with friends. read more

Our new favorite BBQ place, for when we feel like making the trip down from Alexandria. Fiance gets steaks when we come here, and says they're on par with Mike's American Grill (which is way pricier!). He also gets an appetizer of wings and whatever sauces they're tossed in (we have picked a couple different flavors) they still come out great. First time there I got Pulled Pork with a side of mac & cheese. Very great! Second time there I got the Asiago Chicken Penne. Skip it. I was not impressed. Fiance was a huge fan of their "cornbread". More like corn cake as it is very thick and heavy. It comes with a side of what we decided must be some sort of icing. The first time we were there we received excellent service, and told the manager so. The second time the service was still great, but nothing that shouldn't be expected. Now to find reasons to head to Woodbridge to go back.... IKEA? Carmax? read more

I've always loved smokey bones because of the smokey chicken wings(heaven!) this location did not disappoint! Of course will be back again for the same! :) If you haven't been, I definitely think you should. It's casual dining. Some even just hang out at the bar. You can bring younger children there, but personally I wouldn't later at night especially if there's a big game on. They show most sports so it's an added plus. read more

Caroline was my server very attentive! I will be back soon she Put the C in customer service!

Went with my family and it was our first time. Sad to say, the experience was not very great. The food was average. Nachos had unmelted shredded cheese, the burgers were sloppy. To top it off a disgruntled employee who quit was walking through the establishment yelling, "F*$% Smokey Bones, I quit!". With young children there this was unacceptable. Management did not have control of the situation. Nor did they apologize for the disturbance. My server, was the only one up to her job. Her service, and attentiveness were excellent. I highly doubt I would go back, and if I do, it will be because of my server. read more
