Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill

Hard to have a bad experience here. Always order the smoked wings. They’re a mix between dry and wet. Slightly sweet but packed with flavor. The bar is always clean, or at least every time I come (once or twice every two months). Decent beer selection. Not huge, but satisfying.

Intended to eat at Bahamas Breeze but turned around and went to Smokey Bones due the wonderful smell that was permeating the air from the BBQ grill. I went there with my Supervisor to catch up and decompress from a busy mid-​work week.. The atmosphere was great for conversation. Our server was really friendly and attentive to our needs. I created my own combo ordering the spicy sausage, brisket, mashed potatoes with gravy and cole slaw. Menu price was $ 15. The meat was very flavor and cooked just right. The sausage was good but I was expecting something a little more unique. Overall I had a great dinning experience ! They brought fresh homemade sugar coated donuts with chocolate and grape dipping sauce after our meal (complimentary). I will definitely be back!

The only thing that saved this place for me was the chicken wings. They are spot on. Crispy, great flavor, good size. I’d recommend the wings. The rest… not so much. This place seems like it’s over priced for the quality you get. I paid $ 4 for a side of Mac n cheese that was just okay. We also had the pretzel bones appetizer. The pretzels tasted like the microwaved pretzel you get from the Walmart snack bar, with a side of cheap canned cheese. I just was not a fan, at all. I’d come back, but only for the wings.

Came here on Monday night for the wing special. Sat at the bar. The bar was sticky/​dirty from various sauces of the people that sat here previously. The bartender did wipe it when we asked so I guess that means something.
So let’s talk about the good wing deal: it’s 10.99 for 8 wings and fries (but I think you have to order a drink… Did not confirm if it had to be alcohol… BUT it’s unlimited wings on Monday after 9 pm. I highly recommend the smoked wings. It by far tastes the best and its lightly drizzled with a bbq sauce. After you’re done with the first 8 wings you may order the next ones in batches of 4 (any flavor you want).
I don’t know if I can recommend any of the sauces that are «tossed». I had the garlic parmasean but it was chunks of garlic and parm clumped together on some dry wings. And it falls off easily. Mind you I only ate a total of 12 wings.
I do like the fact they give you hand wipes because things will get messy. I also like the fact they had dogfish head 90 minute IPA. Yummy! The bartender was really cool and gave good recommendations.
Will I come again? Maybe next month… On a Monday.

Here on a Monday night. I sat at the bar. I ate the baby back ribs. They were very good. They were slightly over cooked as they fell off the bone, but they were not dry. Baked potato was as it should be. Otherwise the side taste pre made, including the precut garlic toast. All in all, good bbq option for Pittsburgh. Bar staff was spot on, the rest of the wait staff seemed a bit out of focus. Although they only had about 15 tables filled right now. Kind of busy looking and discussing the employee message board, which oddly enough is on a service floor wall.
Food and bar staff gets them the four stars.

I had the stacked baked potato and salad. Menu misrepresented item served. This restaurant has been in death spiral. Do yourself a favor and avoid.

Dashon was our waiter and he was very attentive to our needs!
My wife ordered the brisket sandwich and I ordered the Texas style brisket which was to die for.
Portions could be larger though.
Nice place for a gathering!

Our food was spectacular, from the skillet cornbread to the smoked wings. Hillary was our waitress and she did an amazing job taking care of our needs and recommending choices. What a pleasant experience!

I have never had a bad experience. Everything is delicious. Service is always really friendly and efficient.

We went to dinner with our oldest son. He picked Smokey Bones. It was the late afternoon so there weren’t many people in the restaurant.
My hubby ordered the Southwest Mac and Cheese. My son ordered the «Pick Two”-smoked wings and dry rub ribs. I also ordered the «Pick Two”-smoked wings an pulled pork. I chose fire roasted corn and coleslaw.
Our meals came out quickly which was nice because we were so hungry. I ate the smoked wings first and they were incredible. They had a smokey sweet sauce that went perfect with the smoked wings. I think I had the sauce all over my hands and face. Thank goodness they gave us wet wipes. The pork was was tender and moist. There were 3 different types of BBQ sauce-​mustard base, spicy, and sweet. I went for the sweet. It didn’t disappoint. Both the corn and the coleslaw were good. The Texas toast that came with it was soggy and inedible.
The restaurant and the bathroom were very clean. Our server was very nice. It was a good dining experience.

Went here last after not having been here in a few years. It was a Friday a little after 6, and wasn’t too crowded. I noticed that they had moved most of the TVs to the bar area and beyond. You used to be able to select which channel you could hear from your table from among the multitude of TVs, but no big loss. If you really want to watch sports, there’s plenty of room, and if you really want to have dinner without the distraction, now there’s more of a place for you.
I ordered the combo platter of baby back ribs and smoked chicken wings, the ribs with their dry rub, and a side of baked potato and baked beans. My companions split a full slab of the same baby backs, and had a baked sweet potato, baked beans and grilled veggies.
Our orders came in a reasonable amount of time, and everything was pleasantly hot. And have to say, the ribs were perfect! They were just the right char and doneness, and didn’t even need sauce, though they offer 4 differing recipes in squeeze bottles on the table. I was surprised at how good the smoked wings were, having never had them before. They were reasonably crispy, maybe a tad dry, but nothing bothersome, and had an excellent flavor. Baked potato was fine, the beans were maybe a bit too sweet, but nothing a squeeze of their mustard sauce couldn’t fix.
My companions agreed that the ribs were just right. They thought the marshmallows and pecan butter was a little overkill for the sweet potato, but luckily they ordered it on the side. They also thought that the grilled veggies should not be in the tomatoey sauce they arrived in. When you think of grilled veggies, you think of slightly drier veggies with maybe a smokey flavor.
But the stars here are definitely the meats (sorry Arbys), and they delivered on all accounts. It’s a very spacious restaurant, and the service was right on, keeping tabs on the table and drinks filled! Keep up the good work!

My brother and I were so pleasantly surprised by Smokey Bones! We chose to dine here because we were waiting to pick our parents up from the airport late one night. The service was excellent and extremely friendly. We ordered the fried pickles to start. Most restaurants serve them kind of mushy, but they were crispy like chips here, and we loved them! I ordered the southwestern Mac and cheese. It had the perfect amount of kick, was a great price, and most importantly, was delicious. My brother did the build your own burger. After he was done with the add-​ons it was a little pricey, but he enjoyed it, so I would say it was worth the money. I would definitely dine here again and maybe next time I’ll try their drinks!

Always good. Love Smokey Bones! Great wings! Good chicken nachos! Not a fan of the buffalo chicken dip. They use breaded chicken and more blue cheese topping than I like.

They have late night specials and their loaded fries are the bomb!!!
I got ribs with smoked wings and there was a lot to eat! The rib wasn’t really fall off the bone but it was tasty and tender! The smoked wings were juicy and were piping hot!
The dining area was huge and on a weekday night at 10pm, it was peaceful and quiet. Or waiter was attentive and refilled our drinks quickly

My 3 friends went to robinson Smokeys and it was Amazing! One had a huge salad– i had the smoked turkey Cuban style sandwich and my other friend opted burger The food was so good! The fire roasted corn sweet fresh that after hearing about their bag of doughnuts I ordered that and coffee Oh my Gosh! Hot fresh old fashioned doughnut w choc or rasp dip sauce! I should of ordered a bag to go home! The waitress said people come in just for the doughnuts! No wonder! mmm! I had 2 left and I got home made coffee and enjoyed them. Great lunch great price & doughnuts to die for!

Poor service. Called 2 hours before closing on a Saturday night. Never mentioned that they were serving only fried foods. Took 10 minutes just to put our drink order in. Waitress was very rude! Only half the order came out. Probably won’t visit again.

I met a friend during lunch break. We both ordered salads with the potato soup. The soup was not served hot. It was barely warm. The salad was over-​dresseed. With all the other options in Robinson, I rather eat elsewhere. We both agreed we liked our Friday’s lunch better. I will say though thay the price was right! $ 8 is a steal!

Great tasting BBQ for a chain, join the club for regular discounts.
I am a sucker for their smoked wings. The only caveat is be early because they can get a little crowded.
Try each of the sauces I like them all for different reasons.
Don’t forget the fresh donuts for dessert too!

Well I can honestly say the bbq was absolutely phenomenal!!! Although maybe a little bit overpriced. On a much sadder note, the sweet tea was was totally lacking sweetness whatsoever which is unfortunately an important necessity with bbq. And I would like to see this place have a little more of a country-​style atmosphere although that is subject to every humans opinion. But I love all the boneisms (quotes) on the wall especially in the bathroom they are very entertaining! Also another cool thing is they have free wi-​fi.

We stopped in last night for an appetizer and a beer with some friends. I’m not sure what happened to the late night special priced menu after 10pm, but i guess they dont have it anymore. They used to though, our party chatted about on our way home & we all remember it.
Bobby & i shared the crowd pleaser appetizer which is loaded nachos, loaded fries, onion rings & 3 chicken fingers– along with ranch & honey mustard. Its funny because the reason I wanted to head to Smokey Bones is that i had a wiff of someone’s hot wings earlier in the day & then didn’t even end up getting wings.
I believe during late night the seating is just in the bar area. There are also a few high-​top tables near there. Speaking of seating, i didn’t realize until last night how large this restaurant is and how many booths there are. It’s way larger than what it looks from outside.
We sat at the bar & ate/​drank. The bartender was such a sweetie. She was kind and conversated with us, asking what we do for a living and just general conversation. Some bartenders arent so friendly.
