“Good eats, easy to reach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

There was very little wait for a table because the service is so quick and the dining generous. Take a look at the dessert menu!

“Appearances can be deceptive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

We stayed at the excellent Country Inn & Suites next door, it was late and we didn't want to travel far for a meal. It was the first time we had used Smokey Bones. On entering we weren't too sure about the place, the decor didn't look too inviting. But all concerns were dispelled when the food arrived, it was soooo good. So good in fact that we ate there several times over the next week. The staff are professional, friendly but not overbearing. Did I mention the good food?

“Service was lacking.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

We ate here since it was right in the parking lot of the hotel we were staying at. It took a few minutes for the waiter to get to us and get our drinks which is why it gets three circles. The food was good. I had the ribs and my wife the brisket. Nothing to write home about, but good BBQ for a BBQ restaurant that did not have a visible smoker or smoke stack.

“Won't Be Back”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

In looking for a new BBQ place, we decided to try Smokey Bones. The food was presented so quick that I made a comment to the server. The server stated that their food is all pre-prepared and put on the grill. i tried the fried BBQ chicken and the skin was so dried out that it felt like I was eating eggshells. As we walked out of the restaurant, the entry smelled like urine from the restrooms. This restaurant did not look very clean and we will not be back.
