Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill

Decent food – some of it great – and lots of televisions. Good bar service and pretty good beer selection on tap. Our favorite sports bar in town.

Great food! This is the best BBQ is Springfield. The service is always great and all of the food is delicious. Great pulled pork and BBQ ribs. You can’t go wrong here. Thanks Smokey Bones!

The food is just terrible. My boyfriend and I ate here on the way to visit his family. The burger was bland and the marinara pasta tasted disgusting. The pasta had a strong awful taste that is hard to describe but I never want to experience it again. We also both feel sick now. We couldn’t drive away from this place fast enough.

I strongly recommend getting Dominick as a server and you will have a wonderful experience. I’ve been there many times in the last several years and the server determines what experience you will have. Their servers overall lack but if you ask for Dominick I promise you the service will be fast and the food will be hot. Oh, and they have amazing blackberry iced tea!

Now its five stars. This past Monday I was back in town and got a full rack of ribs. I am a RIB SNOB to the inth degree. These were PERFECT. I had a dream the other night Annie Weirsching and I were playing Twister and eating these ribs. I was pissed when I woke up and realized I was in a hotel getting ready to have powdered eggs for breakfast.

Impressive place lots of TV with a verity of sports on from hockey, football to NASCAR, lots of space and staff

These are the best wings in town. The service is always fantastic. There is usually a coupon or discount if you use the Bones card.

My brother and I decided to come here because nothing else on the block looked good and I am glad we did. I find the atmosphere inside relaxing and not loud for how ‘sporty’ themed the restaurant is presented. I ordered the pulled brisket with Mac n Cheese and sweet potato fries. The brisket was delicious though I felt for 16.99 I should have gotten some more. The sides were worth the slight up charge though they took up the vast majority of the plate. I almost couldn’t find the meat. The service, however, was phenomenal. I had Tod and he was the funny kind of server that didn’t force any food on you and I felt he was honest about the menu. I’d recommend the restaurant based on the service alone. The sweet potato fries were average and the Mac n cheese was aggressively creamy– highly recommended. Overall spent about 50 bucks with drinks and I feel it was well worth that price. The 4 stars is because I wish I got a few more slabs of the brisket. I probably got 7 slab about 2 inches long– obviously I wish I got more.

It’s 11:11 and the place is still serving a full menu! Good food this time of night is worth the stop in, called ahead for a carry out. Bar keep was right on track with my food, making sure all the fixings were right.
Plastic wear, napkins, and extra sauce… yep all there! Nice thank guy!

Pulled Pork Sammy and Potato soup– YUM! Friendly wait staff. Unique atmosphere. Five or six TVs above the bar for sports.

We went here when we were looking for a random place to eat. There was a large crowd out of the restaurant. There was a 30 minute wait; however, we saw a lot of empty tables so we didn’t know how they were dealing with that.
When we were seated, the waiter was friendly but somewhat slow. Granted, it was dinner time so he was busy but the least we could have right away is water. We ordered out food and then there was more waiting.
My dad is diabetic so he wasn’t feeling very well. While we were waiting, he was experiencing low blood sugar. I asked for the sides to come out first and thy were alright. I thought it was too greasy.
Then minutes later my food came out-​hickory smoked salmon salad. It was good but drowned in cheese. Also, there was a large portion of fish, which was very flavorful coming from the smoker. I liked the food overall, but I felt really heavy even though it was just fish.

Love their smokey wings! It is a great place for late night. You can decide which bbq sauce is your favorite here. Plus the bones club is a great add on if you plan to be here as a regular!

Here for a getaway. So looking forward to a great steak and a good dirty martini. The first mistake was the dirty martini. Tasted like straight vodka with three olives thrown in for good measure. Then I order the top sirloin. Paper thin and over salted. Please! I know you are a chain but bring your A game! I got charged $ 23 for the steak and $ 8 for the Martini. I felt better when I got mugged on the highway. Will never go again!

The absolute worst bbq I’ve ever had. Ordered the baby ribs and fried chicken combo with a side order of dirty rice and cinnamon apples. Ribs were tough, the fried chicken was tasteless and it seems like the coating had cornmeal added to it, the dirty rice if that’s what they want to call it looked more the chicken fried rice, it was light in color, with pieces of chicken, carrots and peas. There was no hamburger pieces and the rice didn’t look dirty. The only plus is the food came out fast, but now I know why. Will never return

Worst St Louis style ribs ever. Fat laden over cooked hard to eat. Wait staff was not at all attentive. Seemed like I did not exist. Cardinals game was on at the bar and the beer was cold

Nice, kid-​friendly place with great bbq. Actually, REALLY GREAT baby back ribs!!! Really really awesome! The rest of the food is good, but not near as great as their ribs (hence 4 stars and not 5)!! Other food we tried (had a group of people): mixed greens salad with salmon, pulled pork sandwiches and nachos. Service was fast and parking easy!

Hmmm, what to say about a BBQ place where the pulled pork was too salty and tasted like any other spice was barely even dusted on?
Ummm, it has more TVs than Best Buy?

I will never go to this restaurant again. The last time I went was with a group of six. My husband and I didn’t order anything because we had already ate. However, a friend got brisket that she said was chewy, almost in edible. Another friend got chicken wings that came out burnt to a crisp and had some feathers from a chicken on it!!!
That was the last time I ate there

I have been coming back to my home town for about 27 years. I have seen this place. The parking lot is always full. I stopped in today while in town and what a pleasant surprise.
The service was great and the baby back ribs were even better. The meat melted off the bones. The sauce was perfect.
I will definitely come back again.

This place continues to disappoint. All I wanted was to call in a brisket sandwich order «to go» as I headed home from my last work stop of the night, (at around 6:30PM). As has happened to me EVERY other time I have been there, they were OUT of brisket. Think about that… at 6:30 PM this barbecue restaurant is OUT of one of the main, critical, primary menu items 7 HOURS before closing! Every time I have been to this restaurant, they have been out of brisket. In addition, the staff are extremely rude when attempting to address the issue.
That’s it, I won’t be back. They have used up all their chances and all my good will.
