We’ve given this location many tries. Out of five visits the first two were probably 3 – 4 star visits. The last three were just 1 – 2 stars. Today was our final and last visit. We won’t be visiting again. The final straw was the server removing an item off of my daughters plate with her hands when we requested a different item. It wasn’t just once, it was three grabs. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was very inappropriate. The server obviously wasn’t trained properly. Food quality as far as BBQ brisket is poor. It’s very obvious that the brisket sandwiches are re-heated brisket that wasn’t sold the day before. We’ve had good brisket as an entrée here before, but out of three consecutive visits, never as a sandwich. When the bill runs $ 70 for my wife and three kids(no alcohol, one appetizer) you should expect more. At least I do.

We wanted to schedule dinner with our family just before Christmas. Our sons and their families all together for the first time in a few years. They do not take reservations but when I called and talked to Sara about a party of 15, she said she appreciated a heads up and that the«back room» would be a good fit. She made a note to the managers, gave me their names and said all would be good. It’s a chain so I had my doubts. I called the day of and talked with Stephanie, one of the managers. She said all was arranged. It was perfect! We had our own area. Wes was our server and took excellent care of us, even taking pics of the whole family. Food was delicious from salmon to brisket to fried pickles, wings, nachos, combo platters and more. And we have some pretty discriminating palates. Great job!

To be honest I have little use for the world of Barbecue… but the Smokey Bone is a fabulous exception to the rule. The strength of this establishment is the outstanding service, great drink specials, and the pretzels and beer cheese.

I came here last Monday with my fiancé. This was my second time visiting, both times have been on a Monday. The restaurant does an all you can eat wings on Monday, and they have play all the football games, so it’s a WINWIN for me and the fiancé. The wings are pretty big so I can never take advantage of the all you can eat, I’m full after the first serving. They offer a variety of different flavors with the option of getting smoked wings or chicken wings. I prefer the smoked wings, in my opinion they have more flavor and aren’t fried. Cool spot to watch the game and enjoys wings and beer. I will definitely return when in the area.

I know this is a bbq joint, but I really wanted a steak and we were out with some friends and I ordered a steak. I ordered my steak medium and it came out well. The manager apologized and had the kitchen make a new one. Soon as I cut into the second steak, the manager apologized again and they made me a third steak. The third steak really was not worth the wait.

Service was great. The food however was terrible. We ordered the beer can chicken and the chicken was the size of a hummingbird. For $ 36.00 this was an absolute joke. First and last time we will visit this place. There are too many good places to go to in this area, to ever come back here…

Very disappointing meals last night ! Typically Smokey Bones has been consistently good with their food. My wife and I ordered take out last night. We ordered the baby back and ¼ all white chicken. The baby back ribs had zero smoke flavor and tasted as if they were just baked. Very bland favor. The Chicken which was supposed to be all white but was all dark meat. Chicken had little BBQ flavor. We also ordered the salmon salad. The Salmon was well /overly done with again, little flavor. I did call and speak with the manager and he did make good on both meals with a IOU so we will try again.

Hmm… what to say! First off, the service was amazing. Our server was helpful and always on top of things, So service is not a problem at all here. The alcohol was good too, and reasonable prices. The food on the other hand was another thing. The food was dry and just honestly run-of-the-mill, nothing special. It’s a good spot to grab and a drink and watch the game, but in terms of a dinner, you may want to pass.

Went here for Mother’s day last night and we were seated right away. But, upon being seated, we were not even acknowledged for almost 10 minutes. Two waitresses continued to pass us by over and over until we said forget it and we went and sat at the empty bar so we could be served. Another table was even seated almost right next to us, after us, and a waitress began serving them instead of us. I guess the server’s in that section didn’t need tips or were independently wealthy and could do without our money. Once we got to the bar though, everything went pretty well after that. The food was a B+ and the service was acceptable. Not sure that I will be going back here anytime soon unless it is for carryout with a coupon.

Use yiurr bone card and earn $$$$ and you can get free foodies Good place to watch games and enjoy Called and asked if they take reservations they said yes. Showed up and was told no we do not take reservations. Note to everyone they do not take reservations. I enjoy myself each time I go. Seems to be a place I go a few times a month. As long as they keep the service good I’ll be back

The food was pretty good. Had the smoked pork platter. It was a little dry. The biggest issue I had was waiting almost 15 minutes for the server to take our drink order. We ordered beers and water. Had to remind the server two more times after he brought the beer to bring the water. Food was out fast and was hot.

After trying 2 other places and didn’t feel like waiting for an hour at either place for a seat we got seated right away at smokey bones. The waiter took forever and the food was all right.

Came here on a Saturday night– Got seated right away– but the waiter that seated us wouldn’t let us sit in a booth, even though there was one open– She said«That’s the only one we have left» and proceeded to tell us that it was out of rotation and what not. Little angry about that one which is why they lost a star– But when we did get seated, we had Blake. He was fantastic the whole time. It was the first time for us at the restaurant and he went over all of his recommendations and helped us through the whole ordering process. At first I thought it was a little pricey, but after we got our food, I saw that you really get a LOT of food for the price. I got the smoked chicken wings and my boyfriend got ribs. Both fabulous– Will be going back!

Very good, the stew was unique and awesome. Had a Turkey Cuban sandwich with the stew. I like a place with BBQ sauce options on the table. They have a gluten free menu, but it’s mostly meat. It’s nice they have the menu.

I chose the pick two: ¼ BBQ chicken and sliced smoked turkey breast — the best. It came with 2 sides: broccoli and cinnamon apples for me. Leaning tower of chocolate cake with ice cream — delicious too! I got to go back. Wished they had ribs — not made of pork.

Good place to have. $ 2.00 happy hour draft beer and socialize. The food is ok. Bit a little pricey, unless you have the $ 10.00 coupon off from Smokey Bone website. I usually come here after work with others. It’s not one of my favorite place to eat, but it is close to my house in Florence, Ky Overall, just a place to have a beer. Overall, ok place to socialize.

Other than being way too cold in the dining room, it was good. I overheard several customers complaining about the temperature. The food came out quickly and was hot. The service was good as well. I wish they would label their sauce bottles on the table so you don’t have to figure out which is which. I also noticed that they have changed their style(for lack of a better word). It seems they are trying to be more ‘adult’. Most of their signs they have hanging aren’t appropriate for some kids. Right now, mine is too young to understand them, so I’m not too worried about it. I don’t remember exactly what they say off the top of my head, but something to the effect of ‘being lazy is cool’, and then some with sexual innuendo about rubbing your meat, etc. I think they are trying too hard to be cool. Just serve good food.

Usually a small wait but always excellent food. Keep an eye out for the specials or coupons, they have great savings like Dad’s eat free on Fathers day, etc. Also join the Smokey Bones club and get a free meal my email on your birthday.
