Three of us went to Smokey Bones to watch some NCAA Basketball Tournament games and have a few beers and a bite to eat. When we arrived they were pretty empty, but we found out that they typically do not open befor 4:30 PM on Friday and we arrived at 1:45 PM. We sat at the bar so we had... More

On our way to Florida, we stopped here for lunch. Having eaten at the Dayton location in the past, we knew we could get a good meal. We weren't disappointed.

Great service and will alter the entrees to accommodate my dietary needs. Also love the mini desserts! Just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without packing on lots of calories. :-)

Beef was 40% fat, rest really tasteless, should have sent it back. Pork was ok, but 4 sauces offered were all over the top: too sweet,... More

Went to SB one evening around 7:30. Fair sized crowd and whether someone quit or what, there only appeared to be 3 servers and 1 of those was doing double duty as the host. We ordered drinks and a relatively simple dinner--burgers & fries. Well, gee, you'd have thought they had to go slaughter the cow! It took over an... More

Good BBQ - not great - but good. Beef Brisket and pulled pork are both household favorites.
