I was excited to try this place as it was highly rated. I ordered my sandwich that had pulled pork and brisket on it. The portions were very generous and the brisket was dripping with juices when it was being carved. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese. It looked so good on my tray. Unfortunately my Mac and cheese was overcooked and had gummy noodles and a soupy texture despite being made with real cheese and being seasoned well. The brisket was as good as it looked but the dry and woody pulled pork ruined an otherwise perfect sandwich. The service was lackluster. I felt like I was bothering the staff. Make smaller batches of food so they don't overcook and train your staff to engage people. You are in a food hall, your competitors share a dining room with you. read more

Food was cold; there's something blocking the scale but if you look around that, you see they're not weighing out a half ounce, you're getting less than a half ounce. There was a HUGE chunk of bone in the pulled pork. Would NOT recommend this place. read more

Brisket sandwich was great, lots of meat! Split the sandwich and was full (not sure why people are complaining about not enough meat!). Get it with spicy bbq sauce, which is not really spicy, but has a nice kick. read more

New name, Sisters, same location with the same tasty food. Also they have new items and new sandwiches that the full of flavor. Like the Mississippi pot roast and the frenchie sando. Place offers great vibe with local feel and serve the food with a smile. Offers takeouts inside and outside seating. Enjoy. read more

I visited the 2nd Street food mall for the first time today and ordered some BBQ. Simply stated the food was delicious authentic barbecue! Tender, flavorful babyback ribs, a huge piece of sweet cornbread and a very ample helping of Mac & cheese! Everything was wonderful! I will be a happy returning customer. If you haven't visited the downtown eatery yet--you are missing out big time. I'm going to let everyone else line up in their cars to get a meal from a national chain restaurant, I'm going to the Smokey Bone to get America's food--barbecue, baby! read more

Smokey Bones left me feeling pretty underwhelmed. For a BBQ joint, the food was surprisingly average. The meats lacked the bold, smoky flavor you'd expect, and the portion sizes didn't exactly scream "hearty BBQ feast." Nothing was outright bad, just bland and forgettable. That said, the place was nearly empty, which meant no wait and a quiet dining environment. The interior decor is actually well done -- warm, rustic touches that make you think you're in for a great meal... unfortunately, the food doesn't rise to meet the vibe. If you're in the area and need somewhere quiet to grab a bite, it'll do. But if you're craving real, satisfying BBQ, Smokey Bones probably won't hit the spot. read more

This has got to be one of the best tri tips i have ever had! As soon as you walk in a wall of delicious bbq smoke and smells hits you in the face! Ribs, and tri tip are amazing. I love there bbq beans because they aren't the sweet flavored ones. These have bacon pieces cooked in with the beans. I am from Nampa but I will be going back even if it's more then 2 hours to get here. This place is a must. The staff was courteous and respectful. read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ - Ribs, Tri tip, mac n cheese, bbq beans - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

I want to love this place, I really do. We are so limited for barbecue in Twin Falls. The flavors of their food is decent but it always seems so dry to me. I keep coming back to try different things hoping that it will be great but everything I try is super dry. It's a good thing that the barbecue sauces are good because you really need it to add some moisture to the meat read more

The bun was stale. When I went back to tell them they just handed me another bun. Weird. Beans weren't very hot kinda luke warm. Won't go back. read more

Second time eating here, great both times. Did the Three Amigos Tostadas this time with brisket...great choice. read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ - Three Amigo's Tostadas - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

02/15/2026 Ate here for the first time @ 2nd south Market. We got the 3 meat sampler with 2 sides for $24. Everything was amazing. Seriously the best brisket I've ever had. Moist, flavorful. Even the sides of potato salad and fries were great. The beef, did have a fair amount of fat, which could have been trimmed before serving, but it certainly made the beef juicy and flavorful. Things cooled down pretty quickly, but the flavor of the meats (pork, brisket, & turkey) were amazing and juicy with a fantastic smokey taste. I'm not big on bbq sauce, I want great meat flavor without it and Smokey bone BBQ delivered. Will definitely be back when we visit Twin Falls again. We also liked the 2nd south market which had lots of food places around central tables so family could choose different places/foods (pizza, Sushi, Vietnamese) and you could all eat together. Liked the industrial feel of the place, open wood beams and ducting showing. read more

The BBQ here was SO good! The brisket, ribs, and especially the burnt ends were seriously so good. The service was great and food was served hot and fast. We would highly recommend! read more

Meat was dry. Cut with the grain instead of against the grain as all BBQ places should know. Didn't get the bread or mashed potatoes we ordered. Basically inedible. read more

We wanted to love this place, but we can't taste any seasonings in the brisket. The sausage was lukewarm and the flavor wasn't my favorite. The burnt ends were good because of the bbq sauce. It has some heat which I like. The pickles were yummy. I wanted more flavor out of the Mac and cheese. Overall good, but not great. read more

Super delicious BBQ food. My family stopped here for lunch on our way to Ketchum. We were greeting by the amazing smell of smoked BBQ and a friendly staff. We all order BBQ sandwiches. The Dirty pig is pulled pork with Mac n Cheese and a side of your choice. The Carolina is pulled pork with Cole slaw and a side of your choice. We ate everything! The sandwiches are $13 each. As we left the staff ensured that our food was good and we told them we would be back. If you like BBQ food this is a must stop! read more

We had a late dinner ( 7 pm). Server was great, restaurant was clean, food was ready very quick. We split the 2 meat platter and both were disappointed that the baby back ribs and brisket were dry. Husband had to cover his brisket with the BBQ sauce (good) so it was edible. Side: potato salad and beans. Both were quite okay. Gave 4 stars instead of 3 bc the brownie for dessert was delicious. read more

Great BBQ for the Wood River and perfect for takeout for football or other picnic days

Okay kids, this is real deal bbq. We had a big group and dropped in after a day of skiing. Victoria was a rock star and walked us all through the meats and sides. Everyone got a little something different. Without question the burnt ends were the biggest hit. Super tasty with great flavor. Huge chunks. Brisket had excellent bark and deep flavor. Sausage was spicy but not overpowering. Pulled pork was moist and had a great flavor. Turkey was smokey but just a touch dry. Cornbread and honey butter was fantastic. Moist and made with corn. Cowboy beans were a different but made with meat and spicy. Potato salad was the least favorite. Nothing bad, just nothing special. Mac n cheese was surprisingly good. This a local place and deserves your stop! Food portions were silly huge. My son and I split a three meat combo and had plenty left over for two more meals. Staff was great and super friendly. Everything is made in house including the bbq sauce and the cookies. Make sure to support local spots like this!! read more

Smoky bone always had the best smoked turkey, visited Sisters BBQ (new name) today and was very disappointed. Turkey was dry. BBQ sauce tasted like straight apple sauce. The NC BBQ sauce was all vinegar. The coleslaw was watery and seemed a few days old. Super bummed because it was always so good. read more

They were out of almost everything when we called to order at 7pm. When we went to pick it up they were all but closed. The bbq was not great. The brisket tasted pretty good but was super fatty and the sides left a lot to be desired. read more

The best hole in the wall we could have found in Hailey! Delicious, quick service! Don't miss this stop!

The meat and sauces were okay but the beans and mac were virtually tasteless. Service was quick and the environment is nice but in my first and last experience, the food was quite disappointing. read more

As a brisket lover, they definitely did not make a 4 or 5 star brisket (Must have been the day or cook). While the portion size was good, the meat was very dry and chewy. Plus the side they recommended (cabbage with bacon) was essentially tasteless except for a few pieces of bacon. The baked potato my traveling partner was big; however, toppings were a bit sparse and the potato was also very dry and needed a ton of self-provided fixins. Not planning any return trips. read more

This place is amazing! My wife and I love trying BBQ spots wherever we travel, and this is the best of the best. We tried everything and couldn't pick any favorites because they were all so good. They make everything from scratch, and they don't short you on anything. If you're staying in Ketchum (which is where we always stay when we are in town) it's not a far drive and totally worth it. Great place to hang with the family, eat amazing bbq, and watch football! Staff was amazing and very passionate about their food! read more

Wow, wonderful find in a relatively quiet summer area. Brisket was awesome, but it was the sides that made it Mashed, slaw and beans were great. Big portions for reasonable prices. read more

To start it off ordering was a shamble. Out of mac n cheese, the fountain drink dispenser was out of order, and couldn't buy beer (yet there was beer in the fridge)... underaged staff. The inside probably had 30+ flies and a fly trap hanging by two tables with maybe 50 dead flies on them. Got the food a bit to quickly for a bbq place in my opinion. The bread was stale, burnt ends were 50/50 (rock hard, or soft), the corn bread was cold with little flavor. The only item that saved the 1 star was the brisket because it was juicy, could of used flavor but extra juicy. BBQ sauce was good. read more

The inconsistency of this restaurant baffles me. Sometimes it's ok, last time I went was amazing and tonight was not good. The brisket and ribs were good. The pulled pork did not look smoked, possibly slow cooked in liquid? My husband thought it was Turkey at first glance. The mashed potatoes were greasy. The Mac n cheese noodles were over cooked and the cheese sauce was chunky and almost to the point of dried out. Our cowboy beans were not in our to go order. The employees were friendly and we love having BBQ locally, I just know that I've had a variety of results when we're here. read more

This 4 star rating is exclusively for the BBQ, not the sides, not the drinks, not the staff, not the dining area...just the meat. The bbq was great, we had brisket and pulled pork. The bbq sauce is very sweet and not a lot of heat. Tasty if you like your bbq sauce that way. Everything else needs work. The Mac and cheese was bland and the cole slaw was dry. We also had several uninvited guests at our table, we were sitting indoors! We were visited by at least 4 different flies and a few ants that were crawling up and down the wall. We also saw staff measuring out food on parchment paper but did not change the paper between orders or meat types. Not sure how long that piece of paper had been there that day. Staff was friendly but inattentive. We had to repeat our order at least once or twice. If we ever return we will order just the meat by the pound and order for take out. read more

First off, the employees were not wearing masks or gloves and we are in the middle of COVID. I really don't know why this place is rated so high. Our food was very disappointing. I tried to order the baked potato (because Idaho, duh), but they were out. I tried to order cornbread and they were out. The fridge with the drinks was not working.... lots of strikes to start the experience... I should have known better. I finally settled on the chicken combo with mac & cheese. The Mac noodles were overcooked and the cheese tasted sour and artificial so I didn't end up eating it. The chicken had a dry rub on it that also had a sour taste to it. The BBQ sauce ALSO had a sour taste! Not sure what's up with this place. The meal came with toast (I was expecting Texas toast or a garlic toast) and it was some cheap wonder-bread-looking white bread which was not worth eating. The ONLY thing I ate from the meal was the chicken, with nothing on it. I probably should have sent the food back but I wasn't in the mood for the hassle. My partner ordered the brisket combo with cowboy beans and she was also disappointed with her meal. The meat was lacking flavor and was very fatty - all it had going for it was that it was tender and not dry. The beans tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. She had one bite of the beans and left the rest. The white horseradish sauce was gross. Sorry to be so negative, but it was HORRIBLE. I would recommend driving a few extra minutes to Ketchum to eat. They have good food there. read more

Food is AMAZING! Nice little restaurant to get your bbq favorites with quick and pleasant service.

HOLY BRISKET BATMAN! I read the guy from Texas' review & I thought to myself, I lived in Texas for almost 3 years, this guy has got to be exaggerating. He wasn't. Best brisket I have EVER had. The baby back ribs & pulled pork were good too, but the brisket?! Sign me up for every ski trip to Sun Valley my husband ever wants to take. Cornbread was also delicious, nicely sweet & a good hunk. Collard greens were the lone item that was just ok. Even the Mac & cheese was pretty good. I liked the original BBQ sauce as it was good flavor & not too sweet. My husband really enjoyed the spicy BBQ sauce VERY MUCH. Service was very good. We cleaned our tray even though we were totally stuffed. Did I mention we started with the Frito pie with brisket?! That was tremendous as well. Good thing we don't live close to here! read more

I believe it may be best to visit here earlier in the day. We arrived an hour before closing and most meats were sold out. I tried the smoked turkey which was decent and the macaroni which was just okay. My dad got the ribs and he said they were good as well as the cucumber salad. The cherry pie is more like a cobbler in a pie tin and I did not enjoy it at all. They're very serious about their closing time and had all the chairs up before 8pm. I probably won't visit this restaurant again. read more

The Best BBQ I have had in a long time. I had the 1/2 rack of ribs and the Burnt Ends. Both cooked to perfection and Fall Off the bone delicious.
