Why do they allow kids to sit at the bar? You make more money from customers who are buying alcohol at the bar then kids. The service is lousy manager is clueless

I should’ve listened to the other Unilocalers, but nooooooo… I had to go and try this Smokey Bones anyway. Firstly, what’s the deal with still making customers wait 10 – 15 minutes when there are empty tables? The food really was nothing spectacular, so you’re getting average to below-average BBQ for prices that are actually rather high. I thought the smoked sausage was decent, but I have to give up on ordering pulled pork from this restaurant chain. Like every other Smokey Bones I’ve tried so far, it came out dry and flavorless. Sure, one could dress it up with the unlabeled and unidentified sauces at the table but should one have to? On the plus side, I thought the mashed potatoes had good gravy but that’s a minor part of the meal. The way they handled the check was the final straw. I wanted to use this weekend’s 30%-off coupon. The server took it and after a rather long time, she came back and told me that they had no idea how to put in the coupon and the best they could do was 25% off. Isn’t that the lamest thing? Now my check wasn’t that much so the 5% difference isn’t of much consequence, but if this had been a $ 100 table, someone would protest.

I have been coming to Smokey Bones for over 10 years. I have to say Tuesday night may have been my last. I have seen this place go from really cool hangout, with«good» franchise BBQ. To what has become an absolute disgrace. Lets start with the menu, its ridiculous. We couldn’t find some of the normal staple items that we typically order. So, we attempt to order some new items. Well it turns out the menu was«new» and just put in place the day prior. One of the items listed on the«Pick 2» wasn’t even available yet. I decided to then get the beef brisket. Yeah, it was 7pm on a Tuesday and they were out of beef brisket. How do you run out of beef brisket by 7pm, when its not even available till after 4pm. One more thing about the new menu… the price have increased. When I say increased, they increased like my healthcare premiums under the Obama régime. Some items like the Mac-n-cheese entrée have increased by as much as 33%. Regardless, the food I did order came out fine. the baked beans sucked and the fries tasted like they had been sitting around for about 45 minutes, but other than that 2 star quality. My girlfriend order a baked potato that was rock hard and had one of those massive black growth things in it. «you know what I mean. if someone had that on their body, they would have to see a dr.» In terms of the service… it typically sucks there, so I expect nothing spectacular. especially when the bartender is busy talking with his PBR belching buddies.

I called and ordered take-out at this location on December 6th. I was told it would be ready in 20 – 25 minutes. I arrived a half hour later and it still wasn’t ready. After waiting another 20 minutes and inquiring once, the To-Go waitress brought out some food, but had forgotten the BBQ sauces I had asked for. While she was in the back getting them I discovered she had given me the wrong food. At this point it had been an hour since I called in my order. I complained to the manager who’s «solution» to make up for this failure was to give me extra BBQ sauce. Needless to say I am gravely disappointed with the poor service, and even more so with the manager’s insulting offer of extra BBQ sauce. I spent many years in the restaurant business, and in any other restaurant our food would have been comped.

It was maybe 11:30 pm or so on a friday night. We were a group of 3. Two of us had already eaten but wanted to accompany our friend for a late dinner, planning on having a drink or perhaps dessert while he ate. We walked in and sat at the bar, occupied by no more than 6 – 8 other people at the time. Two bartenders on duty — older blonde lady who was visibly intoxicated, we watched her tap herself a beer and continue to socialize with customers from behind the bar(debatable whether or not she was on the clock) and a younger, stocky guy who had no notable traits other than being terribly sweaty. This guy approached us after we’d been sitting about ten minutes. We ordered beer, coffee, water, and asked for a dessert menu. He came back with our beverages and took our order: A steak dinner with sides to go, an appetizer and«hot» bag of donuts while we waited for take out to be ready. He wasted no time putting our food through, however we got no coffee cream or sugar and my water had no ice, which I really didn’t mind. I guess I didn’t notice at first that he was intentionally ignoring us because we clearly weren’t there to get drunk. A food runner brings out my friend’s appetizer what seemed like minutes later. Fresh from the fryer, sizzling hot and actually smelled damn delicious. Despite the awful atmosphere, the overall experience was still ok at this point. It’s now 12:45, our empty appetizer plate sits next to us at the bar along with my empty water glass and my friends very full, very black coffee. We’ve received no further service. I heard the kitchen«ding» when the order for our hot bag of donuts came up. Then I watched them sit there for 10 more minutes. I ask Bartender for more water, and about the donuts. Maybe even an ETA on the takeout? I was growing impatient. Not even kidding you, this guy walks into the kitchen, chats with coworkers and comes back out minutes later having completely forgotten his mission to check on our food. Hello! you have an open kitchen! He resumes helping customers on the other side of the bar, avoiding eye contact with us. Finally, food runner brings donuts out in a literally grease soaked bag. I send them back immediately since I just watched them get cold. I also send the coffee along with her, and grab a water bottle out of my purse because at this point i’m sitting at the bar dehydrated. drunk blonde bartender lady sees me sipping from a nestle pure water bottle and actually says to me «I see your secret stash, not so innocent over there huh!?» Could she not have filled my glass instead??? At this point I’m obviously upset so when the supervisor on duty(FINALLY) brings out our take out order, I took the chance to mention what happened with the bag of donuts and he says he can’t take it off the bill but he can bring me a dessert for free. Not that I wanted to stick around any longer, but there was a $ 8 piece of chocolate cake I had my eye on so I gave it a try. He brought it out promptly, we asked for our checks and received them momentarily. If you are still reading, this finally brings me to the worst part of the evening, the credit card FRAUD that smokey bones committed. We split checks two ways, I paid only for the coffee and the bag of donuts that I never consumed. My total was $ 15.00. I swiped my debit card for $ 15.00, and kept my receipt. Now, because I’ve been a server for a long time, I know the bad Karma that bartenders will at you when you sit at the bar and drink water without leaving a good tip. I also caused a ruckus about my donuts, so I felt even more obligated to tip this guy generously despite his total lack of manners. I totaled my charge at $ 15.00 and left a $ 5 bill on the bar, in addition to whatever my companion tipped on his meal… somehow, days later, the charge on my account appears at $ 21.32…how does that happen? Having been a server, I know exactly how those things happen. and my reaction is just shock. why? why would you pocket my $ 5 bill and then tip yourself $ 6.32 after providing us little to no service and not even mixing up one drink??? Unilocalers of Berks, I implore you to go somewhere else. Don’t get ripped off by these people who have no standards of service and food quality. They have a similar stack of chocolate cake at Buca di peppo so you won’t even miss out. Sorry for the ramble, thanks for your time!

We had our second bad experience here tonight. The food and service are sub-par, compared to the prices. Not what I expected. Atmosphere is nice, they have outdoor seating, but the heat lamps are not in service… not good. Our first time there: — my steak was well done; I ordered it medium-medium rare. Stressed that I wanted it pink in the middle, but it was cooked all the way through. Got an apology, but no offer to make a new steak. I was told there was a «new person» working the grill. — They were out of onion rings, and that was one of the things we wanted on the appetizer trio. We got fried pickles instead, which were VERY salty. — The lettuce in the salad was yucky and brown. In addition to not being cooked properly, the steak had marinade that likely had a lot of MSG in it. I had a tortuous headache that night. I have a feeling that most of their food is pre-packaged and pre-marinated, arrives frozen and thrown on a grill. The marinade tastes very generic and VERY salty, like most of their food. The nachos were soggy and bland, the loaded fries were really bad. Salty and soggy. We told the server this when she asked how we liked everything. We were offered a $ 5.00 coupon off our«NEXT visit.» Nothing more. And $ 5.00 is pocket change when you consider the prices here! Still, we found ourselves here again. Our second visit was even worse! — My son ordered a small Caesar side salad. Most of the lettuce was disgusting! Inedible. The lettuce was brownish black and smelled like it was actively fermenting. I wouldn’t feed that lettuce to a rabbit or any animal for that matter. We sent it back, got another salad that was a little better but still had some rotten pieces. –I ordered their stew as an appetizer. There were some questionable pieces of meat in there. A tubular piece of cartilage and another cartilaginous piece of pork. The cartilage was chewy and I gagged on it, and had to exchange the stew for potato soup. I don’t recommend any menu items that are«soups» or «stews,» where you can’t inspect the meat… very, very risky! — They were«out of» chicken fingers and all fried chicken cutlets. ALL of them. What restaurant runs out of these things? It’s a staple! Last time it was onion rings, this time chicken… — I ordered the pulled chicken salad and had the same rotten lettuce as my son(see pictures). The server(who was really nice) insisted on replacing the salad. I asked him if he could have the kitchen make me grilled chicken(I ordered grilled rather than pulled) without the MSG-laden marinade. We waited over 20 minutes for the salad and it never came out. The manager comes out and says«so you have a problem with the chicken too?» I said no, and I explained that since the waiter INSISTED on making me a new salad(minus the fermenting lettuce leaves) that I asked for chicken without marinade. She got really pissy with me and then told me their chicken COMESPRE-MARINATED so they cannot accommodate my request(ah! So I have confirmation that their food is not«fresh» but pre-packaged! They admitted it!) OK — I’ll eat the MSG, I was starving. At this point we are told that the salads were removed from the bill, as well as the small stew. The server came out and refilled our drinks and asked if we still wanted the salad — we said of course… why would we still be sitting there? I was starving and we had waited SO long. We waited another 15 minutes for my new salad. At this point, we have been sitting here an hour and a half total and all I’ve eaten was about 2 ounces of potato soup, 2 celery sticks and a French fry off my child’s plate. And I’m 8 months pregnant with blood sugar issues. AND I was starving when we GOT there! It gets better… now, the manager comes back out and asks if there has been a miscommunication? OMGTHEYNEVERMADEMYSALAD! And SHE was angry with US! This is the most ass-backward restaurant I’ve ever been to. At least this time they took the meals we didn’t eat or weren’t happy with off the bill(and the one I NEVERGOT!). Last time we were there we were offered basically nothing when our meals were cooked incorrectly. We got the bill and left, and we ran to Chick Fil A to get me sandwich… which was much cheaper, and the quality of food MUCH better, LOL! I gave this place one star for our server. He was pretty nice, and the atmosphere was ok too(too bad about the heat lamps though). This place serves WAY over-priced fast food, in my opinion. Never again.

This was my first time in the place and I must say I was impressed. I sat at the bar and was greeted immediately and they have Guinness on draft which he poured perfectly! I liked the big bar, all the screens and the vibe was relaxed. I had the Baby Back Ribs with 2 sides — $ 20 not bad and it was awesome, best I’ve had in a while. Like I said, the bartender couldn’t of been nicer –its a well run establishment!

I am torn between giving this place a 4 ½ star rating for food flavor, and 2 Stars for service and organization! Up until the night we were here I have had good experiences at Smokey Bones. But tonight was just not their night, and it started when we walked in the door. We were a party of 3, and looking across the dining room there were a lot of empty tables. So I was mystified when they told me it would be a 15 minute wait! Why? At exactly 15 minutes we walked past at least 8 empty booths or tables to our seat on the other side of the bar. There were only 4 tables with people at them on that side of the bar, and about 10 empty! Now the food: We ordered the deep fried Mac and Cheese, it was very good but the center was cold. But it was too good not to finish. I had the sampler platter and added an Item because I wanted 4 different things to try. For 2 of my selections I had the smoked wings so that my wife and stepdaughter could have some. My 3rd choice was the brisket and I added on a piece of grilled Chicken. When my plate arrived I had the wings and the grilled Chicken but not the brisket, So remind me again how the«add on» makes it on the plate but the the 3rd choice does not? The waiter did go and get it but I waited 8 minutes for it. My wife had the Smokehouse Burger Medium well. My Stepdaughter ordered the BBQ burger Well done. When they got their burgers they had the right toppings but the burgers were switched. And some of my stepdaughters toppings came on the side in a dish and she was missing the bacon. My wife’s did not have any sauce on it! Remind me why it took so long to get our meals that were not even correct? We notified the waiter and he asked if he could make the burgers again. Since we had already waited to be seated and waited over 50 minutes for our meals to arrive. We did not want to wait any longer for them to remake our burgers. The waiter said he would get the manager, 5 minutes later the manager arrives(with what appeared to be a dip of chew in his lower lip, can we say health code violation!) and offers to personally make us new burgers and said it would only take 5 minutes. We agreed. 12 minutes later our new burgers come out looking like they should have the first time. By this time the ladies are no longer hungry, they take a few bites and ask for to go boxes. 5 minutes later the waiter returns with boxes for the new burgers and the wrong ones and says take them along too if you want them. The waiter then says I will go get your checkk, another 7 minutes goes buy till he returns. Thank God we can pay at the table! We were in a not so busy restaurant for 2 hours and did not even have a good experience or good food. We had been bragging about this place for the last few weeks since our last visit and now we look like a pair of idiots. How can a restaurant run like a well oiled machine when you are at capacity on a Friday night, and 2 weeks later on a Sunday night when your not busy at all, the wheels fall off? Since I am a member of the Smokey Bones club I will return, but on a busy night long after this memory has faded!

It’s one of the only places in Berks County to get BBQ… But here is my most recent experience: My wife and I started out with the«new» Buffalo Chicken Dip. It’s pretty heavy and gross… Think chopped up chicken fingers, topped with Velveeta and hot sauce and then nuked till a glue-like consistency. Served with some tortilla chips. Definitely not worth the close to $ 10 they are asking for it. For dinner I had the St. Louis ribs and ¼ BBQ chicken combo with the cinnamon apples and steamed broccoli. Unfortunately, our dinners arrived literally 2 minutes after the appetizer… I understand that the BBQ is already cooked earlier in the day and they are basically serving it, but what’s the point of ordering an appetizer if the meal is served immediately? Of course, maybe they know how bad the Buffalo Chicken Dip was and wanted to get us to move on as quickly as possible? Another problem: while my dinner tasted good, it wasn’t served hot. More like a decent«warm». But certainly not steaming… As I said, I understand that the BBQ is already cooked, but their holding temperatures certainly need some adjustment. My wife had ordered a salad, so there was no issue of hers being cold. Will we keep going back? Yes, probably. But we won’t rush back…

I waited 1 hour for my food to come out like this… Piled on no display just looked like it was thrown on there. The broccoli must have been cooking for a good 3 ½ hours because it just fell apart at the touch. Meat tastes fine but just thrown on there. I can’t believe I waited this long for something like this… Never will be returning again. If it was 10 and this was the only place open I would rather go to a wawa and get a hoagie or something biggest waste of time.

Absolutely horrendous !!! Last time we had an issue when we ordered to go. Sadly, kids love this place, so we keep going back :(. During our visit today, we were offered 2 separate items on the menu, to find out later that they were out, after we have ordered them. Food came out at the wrong time. manager Steve came by to inquire about our experience. Once I shared how I felt kids food was rushed out. Needless to say, with all these mistakes and consistent horrible experiences Smoke Bones still manages to stick everyone of their customers with an overpriced check. Bottom line, get your s4!% straight smokey bones. Cheers

Have been here several times with family. Really enjoyed it in the first few years it was open. The past three times I have been there, I had horrible experiences. The first incident, They brought out the completely wrong burger, bringing me out the right one long after my family had finished their meals. The second time, I had ordered a bowl, which they completely forgot the chicken and popcorn on. When I politely told my server, she gave me attitude, argued with me, and then when I showed her on the menu what I ordered, she brought me out cold chicken fingers and popcorn and told me to put it on myself. The most recent visit, I ordered a burger again, and they brought me the wrong burger, again. They now have these computer monitor things where you can call your server, so I did, and after about fifteen minutes of sitting there watching the rest of my table eat, the owner came over and asked why I didn’t like the inncorrect burger that I was brought(I had not eaten it) and that I should try it because it was good for me, when it contained an ingredient that I am allergic to. Brought me out the right burger, but was burnt black. Will never be going back.

Food was OK and atmosphere was solid. Came in on Sunday night, it was surprisingly busy. The ambiance was similar to BW3 — in a good way — that made it easy to keep up on the night’s NFL games. A few in our group ordered brisket, only for the waiter to come back 5 min later and tell us they’re out of brisket. Could be a good sign? But what kind of BBQ place, especially a chain, runs out of brisket on a Sunday? I got a buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. It was OK… not bad, but nothing to ask for again. Typical chain experience – didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t outstanding.

It was a long wait to get a table on a saturday night. The service was a bit delayed because of the volume. It has plenty of meat choices and the spices are delicious for the house seasoning. There is decent ‘smoke’ to the meats. They have an interesting collection of cocktails. The sangrias are delicious with the fruits and flavors they play with. They offer mailer coupons which helped with the cost of the meal. It is definitely affordable. The portion sizes were worth the price. They offer meal options for those who prefer a lighter meal as well as full on deep entrees for those with endless pits for stomachs. The restaurant is a bit loud. It does get crowded so service may be limited and likely to mess something up. Other than that, I would go back again.

Tough call, folks. I’m fighting the sway of nostalgia, after a less than expected experience tonight. Admittedly, nostalgia can unfairly set the bar a rung or two, too high. However, tonight was largely ‘m’eh’, and after re-acquainting with St Louis and KCBBQ joints, at least this location of Smokey Bones left something to be desired. Wings are tasty, and are generally ample. We didn’t try the smoked variety, and probably should, too. Slaw was acceptable — had a unique after taste that kept it light. Mashed potatoes were«dirty» … and that’s how I like ‘em. Brisket came out pretty good. Reasonably tender. Slices were thin, but not deli-slice thin like I’ve had at some places. Not sure which sauce was served on them — I’m guessing the KC variety that they have at the table. Con: only three slices, in the ‘combo plate’ order. Skimpy. Ribs — baby back with Memphis rub. M’eh. Way too much glaze and probably sat a while, too. Made for a tough coat, which got chewy, on my last rib. For the 16 bucks, this was a weak combo offering. My daughter, who ordered the kids pasta, said it was cold. The pulled pork portion in the combo was also small, and appeared to have been presented by an ice cream scoop … okay, a baseball-sized ice cream scooper. Service tonight was slow. I heard complaints from the tables around me on the inattentive service and the accuracy of orders. One in our party received her vegetables a good 5 minutes after the entrees arrived. Not sure why so slow. Our waiter appeared to only have several tables. Saw several of the wait staff congregating and pausing for chat sessions, throughout the night. Was it a management thing? Waiter productivity? Or, kitchen not up to snuff. We’ll probably be back, but the luster has faded.

I was here on Tuesday, February 25th. I was in the area for training for work. After class we were going to go back to the hotel but, it was PACKED! So we decided to get dinner. All 3 of us are from CA so we drove around and stumbled on this place. We get there and turns out that there are others there waiting for a table. Looks like we now need a table for 15. They sat us in the bar. A few people there had been there before and some were locals and raved about the place. I thought«must be good.» They had 2 servers helping us. Both were good and attentive especially since there were a lot of us and most of whom have huge positions in the corporation. Right away, we ordered some appetizers. Fried pickle — I tried one, it was ok… I have definitely had better! Smoked chicken wings — everyone seem to like it, I thought I’ve had better at BWW! Garlic and Parmesan chicken wings — good but, nothing special. Pretzel sticks and some sort of cheese dipping sauce — I’m a sauce girl and a cheese girl but, the pretzel was better than the sauce! Everyone ordered drinks… That’s what VPs do after hours apparently. Get trashed! Looks like there was a good beer selection but, they ordered budlight. Classy! My first drink was a Bloody Mary. It was good but, I had a better one in Vegas a few weeks prior. Time to order dinner… I got the create a combo. I picked brisket which is only available after 4pm, and 1⁄8 of BBQ chicken. My sides were coleslaw and upgraded to the Mac and Cheese since one of the locals suggested it. Brisket, I ate it… Lol but, nothing fantastic. The chicken… Wasn’t a fan at all. Tore it apart but didn’t eat it. Coleslaw was alright. The Mac and cheese was quite tasty! Oh and they had a side of garlic bread. Took a bite but I think it tasted like the frozen Texas toast you get in the freezer aisle. Everyone gets their food. One got totally wrong sides. Like not even close and another person didn’t even get his food! The servers were nice and took care of it right away. I might’ve given it a 3 because I was in good company. The food is mediocre. The service was good. And it’s practically the only thing opened late in that city!

We were here around 6 p.m. the night before Thanksgiving. Our daughter wanted to try it and said that she would do call ahead seating. Well… it turns out that Smokey Bones does not do call ahead seating, so we just showed up and took our chances. The place was busy and we wondered if we would have a long wait. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. She checked the dining room and said that we would be seated in a few minutes as they were now cleaning off a table. Smokey Bones was founded by Darden Restaurants. In 2007, they unloaded it as they thought it wasn’t very profitable. BBQ Integrated, under the umbrella of Sun Capital Partners now owns it. Sun Capital focuses on leveraged buyouts. They also now own Johnny Rockets. Once we were seated, our server showed up promptly. She was friendly and efficient plus knowledgeable about the menu. We started out with our drink orders. The kids all had milk. I had a passion fruit lemonade, which just tasted like an ordinary lemonade. The rest of the adults all got beers. Smokey Bones does have a large beer selection. We all decided to forego having an appetizer as we figured that dinner would be more than enough. I did a «create your own combo» meal and chose smoked beef brisket(which is only available after 4 p.m. and is «hand rubbed + slow smoked for 14 hrs.») plus smoked wingers(which are also«slow smoked»). For my sides, I chose mashed potatoes and gravy plus coleslaw. The brisket was decent enough with just enough fat to provide some moistness. The smoked wings were just okay. They were meaty but the smoked flavoring was… well…forgettable. The sides were just fine. My husband had the smoked beef brisket meal and his sides were baked beans plus coleslaw. He, too, thought the brisket was decent but he wasn’t wowed. When it comes to brisket, my husband is now spoiled having had some awesome brisket in Texas. He did like the baked beans and thought that they had good flavor. We both agreed that the coleslaw was okay. Our son-in-law had baby back ribs. The meat was falling off the bones and to me, looked better, than what some independent bbq joints serve. He really liked his dish. Our daughter had the smokehouse burger which consisted of «½ lb. burger + broiled onions + peppered bacon + onion tanglers + toasted bun». She really liked her burger and said that she would have it again if she ever came back here. The kids all ate off the kids menu and had a grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast with a side of mashed potatoes. Two of them liked their meals and ate everything, while the youngest said he didn’t like the mashed potatoes. As an aside — while the bathrooms were clean, they were poorly designed. When our daughter and I were in there, the hostess happened to be in there at the same time. She told us that the contractor put the doors in wrong as they were supposed to open out rather than in. The result is very cramped conditions. So, after all these years, why not fix them? So…overall, we weren’t wowed. It’s not the kind of place where you dream of going back to for another meal. I do give props to the staff as they were all very friendly. When we were leaving, several of them wished us a Happy Thanksgiving.

Though Smokey Bones is located in close proximity to Texas Roadhouse, it is a great alternative. While much of the menu offerings are similar, it is less-steaky and more BBQ-y. Inside, it also has a different take; it is less of a honky-tonk atmosphere and more lodge-like. Large-screen TV’s surround the bar area, and provide ample entertainment(especially last night, during March madness). Service has been good during my three visits; servers are extremely friendly(although sometimes try too hard, imho), knowledgable of the menu, and keep the drinks refilled. Last night’s choice, KC Ribs and pulled pork combo, was pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good. Price was $ 14.99 for the combo and $ 2.50 for the iced tea. Four different styles of BBQ are available at the table for your preference. This is a good comfort food establishment, and personally, it has won the battle of the local BBQ. Proof is in the wait; expect 30 minutes on a given Friday or Saturday night. On the downside, I can’t help but be repulsed by some the offerings, in terms of nutrition. Sure, my ribs and pork and fries won’t win any favors with my arteries, but a burger offered consisted of 3−1÷3 lb patties, cheese, fried onion rings, bacon? Another offered 1⁄3 lb patty with pulled pork, cheese and bacon(see another Unilocaler’s photo). If this doesn’t make the menu of the nearby McDonalds look like a weight-watcher’s healthy alternative, I don’t know what does. Sure, salads are on the menu also; but the fact that Americans are actually doing this to themselves is a sad commentary. Maybe if it was offered along with a treadmill to eat it on, perhaps! Just sayin’… In the meantime, we’ll definately be back. Good eats… with moderation!
