Smokey Bones - Lakeland

My friend and I wanted to try somewhere new and we looked up restaurants open late and smoky bones popped up. We went to check it out and ended up having a great experience! Easy parking, friendly staff, the food was perfect. Everything cooked extremely well and seasoned beautifully! They had an extensive drink menu and our server Haley recommended the strawberry sangria because I couldn’t decide! It was absolutely delicious! Ended the night with a hot bag of cinnamon donuts brought to us by our wonderful server! Haley was on top of it, quick, friendly, and ready with suggestions for new comers. For sure our new favorite spot

Tim was an amazing bartender and server! He gave us a wonderful selection of wings and flavors to taste and choose from. Everything was delicious and flavorful with every bite. 10/10 will be returning here! I definitely recommend smokey bones Lakeland if you are looking for a laid back yet magnificent dining experience!

We made it in on a Monday night for dinner with our group. We tried a good variety of food and were not disappointed with any of it. The portions for the apps were a bit small and not very shareable. We ordered the large Bonebowl for 4 plus a few other items. All the smoked meats were good. The wings were juicy but well cooked. The ribs were nicely done. The potatoe wedges were great. Everyone was pretty happy with the food. When we did use the bathroom we were a little concerned. They were pretty filthy and run down. Which gave me an awful impression of what the kitchen might look like. Yuck.

Trying to be understanding of staffing issues but this was just awful. Waited an hour and a half for food after a 45 min wait for a table. The restaurant was not busy, they just have no staff. The food was cold by the time it came out and portions are very small for the price. Chicken wings were undercooked and we are concerned about food poisoning (see picture)

Service and food was great! It took longer to get our food than expected and it wasn't that busy. We'll be back, this is a fav spot.
