Ariel was fantastic! brought my mom and wife here and we all loved our meals. Ariel had a great knowledge of the menus and steered us in the right direction during the ordering process. pulled pork and chicken were fire and the array of bar b q sauce was a nice touch on the table to try. drinks were good and balanced. 10/10

I had not been here in a while. Me & Hubie were lookimg for a good lunch spot. The food..atmosphere and service was surprisingly Great. The prices were good too. Though I did not have a drink myself.....I have to say their drink menu was good and affordable. And our server Shan was attentive and a delight! I will be back. Been here before but this visit was different!

If you’re looking for a spot that nails the trifecta of great food, vibes, and efficiency, Smokey Bones is the place to be. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming—perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with friends. Despite the house being busy, the service was incredibly fast, and our server made sure we were never left waiting. ​We started with a spread of appetizers that did not disappoint. The loaded fries and nachos were piled high with toppings, and the chicken wings were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crisp. For the main event, the Pulled Pork Plate was a standout. The pork was tender and smoky, paired perfectly with their classic baked beans and fresh, crunchy coleslaw. ​You absolutely have to save room for dessert. The Turtle Cheesecake was rich and decadent, but the warm brownie with ice cream was the ultimate finisher. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you planning your next visit before you’ve even left the table. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic BBQ and top-tier service!

Tiana was our waiter and she was so kind, and patient! I could tell she was working hard today, but she made sure to make sure we had everything we need. The food came out quick, and it was amazing! I definitely will come back, and be sure to say hey to Tiana! By the way, the cornbread, and nachos are SO GOOD

First time for myself and my family to the restaurant and had a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Shaii, was a great waitress and provided us everything we asked. She also provided great recommendations to what we should eat and worked out perfectly. Not a local in the area, but will come again when I get the chance. Thank you for the great experience, Shaii. \(^_^)/
