What Ryan W doesn't like about Smokey Bones BBQ Grill:
My wife and I tried this place out and had an absolutely horrible experience. Placed an online order and selected option to pay when we arrive. When we got there we were told our order was $45 more than it actually was. Then we waited for our food and it came out 30mins after the promised pickup time. When the food finally came out, ALL of it was cold and we were missing sides. I would be embarrassed to be associated... View all feedback. What Christopher A likes about Smokey Bones BBQ Grill:
Great place for a beer and some brisket. Staff is great and the food is good for the price. They could use some more lighter dishes, another salad choice perhaps. View all feedback.

The restaurant is described as a decent place for standard food with plenty of seating and a good bar, though the food itself is considered average by some reviewers. One customer expressed disappointment over undercooked and greasy burgers, while another felt that the portions were too small for the price they paid. However, there were positive reviews about the Korean Pork Belly Pops, mac and cheese with brisket, and the attentive bartender/waitress. Overall, the restaurant offers a good atmosphere for drinks and brisket, although some diners have experienced issues such as missing items in their orders. It seems that the service and quality of food can be inconsistent, but with the right dishes, like the Signature BBQ Burger, the experience can be highly enjoyable.

The St. Louis ribs were oversalted and inedible. I will not visit whenever I'm in town.

The Crispy Buffalo Chicken and Fresh Made Creamy Cole Slaw were delicious! Very generous portions. Perfect flavor and texture.

Menu is misleading. They do NOT give you cans of soda, they give you plastic cups with soda and melted ice cubes for water down drinks. Food was good though.
