What Mickey Rytman doesn't like about Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q:
I didn't like any of their sauces. Awful for BBQ sauce. Just doesn't have a good BBQ taste. Bread was soaked in butter. Way to much butter! Stew was good. They need to change sauces. Beef was greasy. I have had much better at a mom and pops BBQ. Big let down. Bring your own sauce. View all feedback. What James Thompson likes about Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q:
The Turkey was so good loved it. The Brunswick stew was so fresh. Banana pudding was off the charts. Our server Kathryn was so friendly and awesome at her job. She really came through with the banana pudding suggestion. ?Food: 5/5 View all feedback.

Great BBQ, friendly and helpful staff, fun atmosphere. TV at bar and outside. Great place.

Overall, reviews for the restaurant highlight a mix of positive and negative experiences. Some customers were disappointed with the quality of the sauces and sides, while others praised the meats and service. The brisket was particularly popular, and the friendly and helpful staff received high praise. The portion sizes were mentioned as being reasonable, with some customers noting a decrease in size post-fire. While some found the building to be uncomfortably warm, others appreciated the cozy atmosphere. The banana pudding, turkey, and Brunswick stew were standout dishes for many patrons. In general, Bono's BBQ seems to be a reliable choice for good BBQ in the area, with a mix of opinions on specific menu items.
