We were jazzed to try Smokey Bone as an extension of this food hall. The menu was pleasantly overwhelming. Thought the three-meat sampler was good bang for our buck: brisket, pulled pork and smoked pork ribs. $18 for generous portions. We were gonna try the wings but after the server heaped the mounds of brisket and ribs on our tray - we scratched them. We also got corn bread and slaw for our a la carte sides. The meats were good, and good without the BBQ sauces (Carolina Vinegar, Spicy BBQ, Alabama Horseradish). Though we were basically drinking the vinegar by the end of the meal. The ribs were our favorite - lovely, crispy exterior with charred ends and tender once we dug in. The pulled pork was alright. Tasted more like it would work better as a topping on some mac or fries than as a main protein on your plate. I loved the corn bread. Dense and appropriately brittle. It was a fitting companion for the meats. Don't know when we'd be in town again to give other menu items some attention, but Smokey Bone has left a lot of good eats to the imagination - enough to know we could recommend this place to other out-of-towners without getting our foodie cards revoked. read more

Not impressed with this bbq! Got the brisket and corn bread. Flavor on brisket is just ok but without sauce it's dry! The corn bread is just ok more sweet cakey flavor than a good bbq corn bread. The young man cutting the meat was fine but the girl at the register wasn't. I asked for butter for the cb and she forgot it. When I looked in the box I asked her for the butter and she tells me there is none. I ask if there's any in the back and she says no without going to even check and they were not busy. Then she gives me the same meh face she gave the guy in front of me when she told him they were out of the beans. Made no effort whatsoever to go out of her way to do much of anything. And this was at 6 pm on a Thursday night. Not a good experience. read more

Absolutely lackluster food. No seasonings or sauce to the pulled pork and it was dryyyy. The Mac n cheese was bland and watery, reminiscent of a microwave meal.. I've had better Mac at sizzler. The food was also lukewarm at best. The employees were crass to the point of being rude. Save your wallet and don't waste your time coming here. read more

Thought this was a bbq restaurant. Turns out it is in a food court style of place. BBQ was good. Not fantastic. Brisket was nice and moist. Not a real solid smoke flavor. Fried pickles were the star of the sh read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ-Twin Falls - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

Food was tender tasty and very big! Service was great and the whole place was cleaned and full of guest! Many different options in this food hall! Everything was clean with plenty of seating! Well worth the money read more

I'll begin by saying the food here is fantastic. Both my wife and I ordered the brisket and it was super tender and flavorful. Four stars for the amazing brisket. My only complaint is that the hours posted on the website/Yelp are different than what they actually are (at least at the time we visited it was). The online hours stated they were open seven days a week but when we arrived on an early Sunday evening, we were disappointed to discover that they were actually closed that day. No mention of it on the website. I'll also back up other reviewers by saying if you're planning on getting the brisket, skip the sandwich and just get the plate. The bread, literally, is just two plain a$$ pieces of cold bread. I know the hero is the brisket, but in my opinion, the bread actually brings it down. Aside from those two things, I think you'll enjoy their food. I just would like to see them either stick to their advertised hours or update it as needed. read more

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. Not sure why Yelp has 2 Smokey Bone BBQ's so will post on both. read more

My favorite place to get a hamburger! Also, the brisket is unmatched. Great service, wonderful people. We love the ambience at second S. market. read more

I have one complaint about this restaurant -- and that is that I'm not sure I will ever be able to enjoy another barbecue restaurant, because they can't compare to The Smokey Bone. The brisket: best we've ever had. The ribs: incredible. The pulled pork: fine -- this was the low point of the meal. Unfortunately, there's got to be one item that lands in the bottom spot! The mac n cheese: excellent. The sweet potato fries: absolutely delicious. The onion rings: best we've ever had, and not even a close contest. It was so great to get the 3 meat-3 side platter so that we could share and try everything! The food hall atmosphere was really fun as well! The band began playing around 5:30 and really added to the experience, we thought they were wonderful. read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ-Twin Falls - two trays of ribs and sides - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

This was the worst food I have eaten in a long time. Chicken was dry, my husbands Mac and cheese was crusty. I'm from Indiana passing through and this is where I want to stop. It was disappointing.The ladies behind the counter were lovely! read more

Take out order: My husband arrived early and in spite of this the food was cold. Charged us for the salads but salads were missing.

We are in town and wanted some great bbq the pictures we saw online looked amazing. The service was horrible though. I can't tell if the girl working there hates her job or is just a mean girl. My father was asking what kind of sausage they had (Italian, hot, mild ect?) and she looks at him and goes "umm pork?" Yes obviously we knew that. Second my son is severely allergic to egg. I ordered a quesadilla because I wasn't feeling like bbq like everyone else was and when I asked to see if any of the tortillas had egg in it and she looks at me with a dirty look and said "idk we don't make them" i tell her it's regarding an allergy and she says again "yeah idk" doesn't bother to look or ask so my son didn't get to eat there. I was dissapointed. Everyone we have met has been so wonderful this was my only negative experience in twin falls. I loved the location and the food hall. A bit too many flys but I get it it's farm town. Definitely would never come back to the bbq place. read more

was a good place, till Easter and we ordered on line to beat the lines, ribs, brisket , all the fixings almost $200 worth, 20 mins later we get a phone call ummm we are sorry but we don't have any ribs, can we substitute it, sure give us more brisket, oh ummm we are out of brisket too, well what do you have ? just chicken, wait what? you just opened and only have chicken? yeah , well how long till more is made, umm we won't be making any more today ,can just refund your card? oh yeah just do that , it's going on since Easter and its now June 23, still no refund and they keep saying they refunded us even called and talked to "owner" so they say... I don't understand how people can run a business like this and have kids unattended not knowing what they are doing read more

This is my second time to Smokey Bone BBQ. The first time when i came to Twin Falls to see Shoshone falls. The second time was on purpose after visiting Lava Hotsprings on the way back to California. I ordered two meats and two sides, brisket and baby back ribs. For sides marshes potatoes and coleslaw. Brisket were tender. Baby back ribs were delicious and came off easily from the bones. I will come to this place often if I live in Twin Falls. Highly recommend read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ-Twin Falls - 2 meats and 2 sides for $30, generous portion. - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

This food was excellent and the price?; forget about it! $22 for a pound of brisket that was slow smoked, tender and delicious. The bark on the meat was this and so was the smoke flavoring. I just moved out here 2 days ago from California for a new job and the day I left, my dog came down with something and we are going to have to put him down. Also, my wife got into a car accident and her car is wrecked. Needless to say I have not been enjoying myself since I am helpless over here away from them. Once I tried this brisket I think I smiled for the first time in a few days. I was finally able to break the gloom knowing there was a good and inexpensive BBQ joint in town. The service was perfect as well. A+++ Job well done Smokey Bone! read more

If i rated on food alone I'd probably give 5 stars. The ribs were bomb! The Mac N Cheese was also phenomenal. We did the 2 meat combo and got the ribs(very generous portion) and the pulled pork. Loved them both. 4 star rating is because the employees kind of suck! They're rude, and make you feel like your hassling them because you want to place an order. Like really? Your job is to take orders and give people their food. I'm not asking you to build me a house. Hate bad customer service and theirs was horrendous! Great food made up for it though! read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ was really good. I got the Big Daddy sandwich and I must say, it is truly big. One suggestion I might make is that the bread wasn't very special. Two slices of white bread are really a let down with meat that is so good. I would recommend just setting a plate because of this. Otherwise, the bbq was very good. The mac and cheese was decent as well as the fries. I would recommend this place for BBQ in Twin Falls. It is also decent value as well. read more

Kinda piss poor excuse for bbq....more the drown it in bbq sauce type... Stopped in one evening last week after a long day hadn't eaten really in the mood for some good 'que. Ordered the brisket no smoke ring no bark looked like it had been steamed (wrapped in foil). Wasn't tender nor tasty. Side coleslaw not very good either. It's 'que....but it ain't good 'que... read more

Great food quick service and a great staff one and only bbq in Twin falls will do catering and very generous with portions

We got the brisket and pulled pork with Cole slaw and fries. The Cole slaw is terrible... don't bother It had zero flavor. Others said the same but we still gave it a try. The brisket and pulled pork are really good. My husband loves to smoke meat so it's not as good as his (I've been spoiled with amazing bbq). However considering all that it's pretty good! It doesn't have a strong smokey flavor (which I prefer) and we both thought it was a tad dry so I added the bbq sauce to it which was good. The fries were amazing and I loved their fry sauce. It's not your typical fry sauce flavor. I liked it more than my husband did. He thought it was too sweet. read more

Just ordered a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving as I have roasted enough turkeys for this lifetime and I wanted to focus on other dishes. If was fantastic!

The Smokey Bone BBQ-Twin Falls - Smoked Turkey - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

The hubby and I were both starving as we rolled Into Twin Falls, so we stopped here for a bite. We had even here once before, and the second time did not dissapoint. My husband had the "Dirty Pig" and he says it was delicious! Piles of pulled pork and a sweet and tangy sauce, along with mound of mac and cheese on lightly toasted bread. I had the Carolina, which had pulled pork and coleslaw. It was a little too sweet with the slaw but still good. I only could eat less half before I was full. We also ordered 6 deep fried pickles and ranch to dip. Nice texture and light coating, good flavor, but was too full to finish. We ate outside in the patii because there were a lot of flies Inside. Good choice as there were only one or two outside. Overall good lunch, great service, friendly staff, reasonable price for good BBQ. read more

BBQ done right. I enjoy most of what they serve, but the turkey the last two times I got it was too hard, and too salty. I live the potatoes salad, and the cornbread is great when it's fresh. My hubby likes the beans, and the mashed potatoes and bacon in my veggies is always a treat. I notice the difference between the Hailey store and this one, and my preference is up north. But...Yum. read more

**Updated review** so after 2 years and a few visits to 2nd South Market Food hall I finally decided to try this place again. I have to say I am sad I didn't give them another try sooner. Their brisket was WAY better than my first experience here. I'm still feel like the potato salad is bland but it was good when I added salt and pepper. We will be coming back and trying other things on their menu but I wish their staff was a little friendlier. I wasn't going to write anything about it on my review but noticed there was another review stating that. The staff was not rude they just seemed bothered. read more

The smoke ring around the meat was perfect. I got the smoked Turkey and it was juicy and tender, so tender it fell right apart. Beautifully done and the flavor wasn't over powering. The bbq sauce matched the flavors well and the Smokey bone does not get enough credit. They truly have out done themselves! Definitely coming back for more. The service they gave was warming and welcoming, they looked pleased to be here. read more

Driving through and wanted something not from a chain. This is in a building with other restaurants, which I didn't expect. So there would be something for everyone probably. Me & my husband both had brisket with 2 sides. Portions were good, meat was tender & tasty, side of fried cabbage & bacon, need I say more... was excellent! Good choice of sides. Husband grabbed a beer from the pub a few tables away and all was good. Food was awesome, came fast, place was clean and a really cool atmosphere. I was able to watch the pizza maker toss a large crust while I ate. I would go back here again and I think it was worth driving across town from our hotel. I didn't give it 5 stars just because it wasn't a fancy linen & full bottle of wine type of place, gotta save it for those ones. read more

The bbq sandwiches are on plain white bread. The bread becomes soggy quickly. My husband's sandwich, meat was very fatty. My sandwich had Mac & cheese on top of the bbq meat & was ok, just don't like soggy bread. Corn bread was cold and very dry. Sweet potato fries were very good. Overall service & environment were good, but food disappointing. read more

The Smokey Bone BBQ-Twin Falls - BBQ sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

Ok, I guess I should have read a few of the reviews prior to ordering. Although I probably wouldn't have listened though. So, I've been craving BBQ for quite some time now. Searched up Twin Falls and found this place which also happened to be only 2 miles from my hotel. Went inside and eyes went directly to the 2 meat platter and two sides. They have meat by the pound and 1/2 lb as well, but I didn't look at those items until after I ate. So, at a "normal" BBQ joint when you get two meats and two sides you get MAYBE 1/4 lb of each meat and the sides might be a small scoop of whatever you ordered. The price jived with what is normal. I think it was $24.99. I also ordered an extra side and a piece of cornbread as I was starving and I was prepared for the puny portions like I was expecting. So, they call my name after about 10 minutes and they hand me this gigantic bag with a aluminum foil pan in it...about the size you can fit a 5 lb roast in. Told them they made a mistake because I only ordered a 2 meat combo and this weighed about 3 lbs...maybe even close to 4 lbs. They said, no, that's what you ordered. What?.. I go to my truck and open up this gigantic foil pan to find two meats...had to be at least 1/2 lb of each and three sides...each of which were 6-8oz. A gigantic chunk of cornbread, three pickles, 4 pieces of Texas toast, a few bbq sauce containers, a container of butter and a container of some other sauce..I think it was a horseradish ranch? I'm still in utter shock. How the hell am I going to eat all this? Well, I did, and I'm sure I'm going to regret it. I can put away the food...and I'm in a bit of pain from eating 4 lbs of food. So, as for how it tasted... Brisket- Super moist...a bit too fatty, but it's brisket. Great flavor. Pulled Pork- Maybe the most flavorful pulled pork I've had. Again, a bit more fat that should be there, but for the amount they give you...not complaining. Mashed Potatoes and gravy- Solid flavor, more dense than creamy, gravy was awesome. Mac and Cheese- Nothing really special here. Regular large noodle Mac and cheese. Tastes like Stouffers, I'm sure it's not, but nothing really stood out about it. Was fine. Cowboy Beans- These are killer! A touch too salty, otherwise I'd be driving back to get a quart to take back home with me....hmmm, I'm actually thinking about it now. I wish they had spoons as part of their cutlery. I pretty much drank the beans from the container...which was fine with me....soooo good. Cornbread- I wish I could make my cornbread this good. Just right amount of sweetness...and a huge portion. Texas Toast- I only had one slice as I needed to leave something...I couldn't possibly eat everything. Was fine...just white bread. Comes with butter too. Pickles- Have some kick to them...a bit spicy. Tasty. So, yeah...I got the meat sweats going. For a normal person, this is a meal that should be split between 2 people and both will be satisfied. They have a 3 meat combo that would positively work for two people..they even have a 8 meat combo that comes with 6 sides. They have lots of other menu items as well. Overall, great flavor and quantity. Will be coming back for sure next time I'm in town.....minus the extra side and maybe one meat...LOL... read more

Do the math: a 2 meat, 2 Side plate is 25.99. But a half lb of meat, plus a second half lb of meat and two sides cost $21.00 (depending on choice of meat). It may be cheaper to order the exact same thing al a cart instead on one plate. My husband says this is the best BBQ he has has in the west. He's from the south where they know what bbq is supposed to be. Second time here, he didn't think it was as good. read more

The ribs are fantastic. The smoke ring is prominent which means these folks know how to smoke meat. Tender and tasty. Fried cabbage was good too. read more

I have foolishly tried this place multiple times and regret it every time. The whole point of cooking something low and slow is getting juicy flavorful meat. Yeah not here. Even when you drench the ribs or pulled pork it's still dry. And the brisket... there isn't enough bbq sauce in the world to rehydrate it. Literally sucked all the moisture out of my mouth I couldn't even swallow it. Whoever is cooking the meat needs to be dropped out in the desert and forced to walk back for three days without water so they understand the suffering that is eating their food. read more

Oh. My. Gawd. Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Brisket. BBQ ribs that have been cooking all day. I can't write a review that will make you want to try it, there are no words. And they under charge. That's right! You get too much food for the price. And we're all know how amazing BBQ is two days later out of the fridge. Go. Just go. It's in the cutest indoor food court called 2nd Street Market so bring Jenga or a chessboard with your family. You can get a beer and ice cream. (Skip the pizza, it's not that great). read more

The food was a little cold from sitting in a warmer, and the sausage was good but overcooked. Mac and cheese and on the soupy wide, Cole slaw is refreshing, and the mashed potatoes aren't bad either.

Smokey Bones = faux Texas BBQ. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad for what it is, but it isn't Texan. Ask any Texan and you'll learn that if it ain't got a smoke ring, it ain't BBQ. Having lived in Texas and gone to school in Central Texas, you also learn pretty quickly that if you're not George Washington or your not smoking fish or chicken, leave the cherry trees alone. Smoke with mesquite and pecan wood...low and slow. Give me good bark, proper fat content and for goodness sake, cut it across the grain. S.B. has too much fat, which is counter productive to quality bark formation. I'm also quite confident the temp is too hot and it isn't smoked 14 to 15 hours. Fat wasn't fully rendered on the beef rib. Tri tip tasted flashed. Pulled pork was the best of the meats. Brisket was tired and dry. This, however is a foodie's and Texan transplant's over critical review. For Twin, I'm happy about it and it's worth trying. While we were there, an employee asked to take a smoke break. The owner said, "no problem while we're slow, just take off your apron." Food safety conscious, that's awesome and makes me happy. I hope he hones in on his smoking technique, and while not huge on sauce, would probably tweak the Texan sauces. Good luck and get your meat on to fellow Yelpers. read more

We finally made our first trip to Twin Falls. After the walk and hike, we were starving. First came to our mind was meat. We found this little place opening for dining. We ordered the 3 meats sharing with two adults. Pulled pork, brisket and ribs were so delicious. One of our kids ordered fried cat fish and loved it. Thank you! read more
