“We enjoyed our visit here. Food was very good, service was exceptional and the atmosphere was very comfortable. So glad this place survived the covid mess. Definitely recommend checking this place out!”
“If you are looking for a great atmosphere, great service, and great food, this place is it. I highly recommend the wings, they are smoked and the best wings I have ever had. We had wings, jalapeño sausage, chicken breast, and chocolate cake. We also had the smoked old fashioned, and the Titos strawberry lemonade. We had one of our best restaurant experiences to date for this type of food. Siarra was our server, and did an outstanding job ensuring we were satisfied with everything the entire time. The manager even stopped around to check on everything. If you haven't been there yet, stop in and give it a try, you will not be dissatisfied. Great job Smokey Bones team!”
“Great food, fried pickle chips were on point although I do wish they had the zesty dipping sauce for them over the standard ranch. My fiance said her Mac n cheese with pulled pork was good. I had the boneless wings and a burger both were great. The Chipotle BBQ sauce is delicous. The only draw back would be the lighting it has a more of an older school feel with the dim lighting. Where as I think if they brightened it up it would show off how actually beautiful the inside of this restaurant is.”
