The restaurant is good, but not great. I was looking for smoked BBQ, and we got their Bone Fire, which has mostly all the meat. It comes on a portable grill with hot coals inside. Clever, but most of the meat was overcooked, was really...Read More

We were trying to remember the last time we went to Smokey Bones and figured it had been over 5 years, at least. We remember the taste was good but thought it was expensive for what you got. When we lived in Alabama, Smokey Bones was one of our frequent haunts, but not here in Florida.The service was very good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and inviting. We had thought at first to get the rib fest for two, but ended up getting the Bone-Fire for three. This is a hibachi type serving that includes some smoked wings, chicken breast, a piece of steak, sausage, some baby backs, potato wedges, and grilled peppers and onions. It arrived to our table almost thirty minutes after ordering, which is a long time based on our experiences at other BBQ restaurants. It was huge to look at and very smokey, but the smoke didn't last long after serving. So, this is more show than value.You really don't get much. We count 5 wing pieces, each of fair size for a pigeon but not a chicken. We'd guess it was around 4 oz of steak, a single chicken breast, about 3 inches of sausage, 4 ribs of baby backs, 2 small peppers and three small onion rings. We ordered two sides of cole slaw and two soft drinks. Cost, a whopping $70. The food was over cooked and dried out and everything had a strong pepper (like black pepper) taste. We will say the bowl of sauce on the platter and the sauces on the table were very tasty. But, I don't think anything was notable enough to warrant returning.That said, Smokey Bones seems to be a very popular place, but we noted everyone around us went for simpler dishes. One patron lamented the removal of meatloaf from the menu. Also, our server has an unusually strong cologne on. Something I think should be toned down in a public setting, as it was actually giving me respiratory issues when she was at our table. But that is a personal choice and up to her and management to discuss before someone else has a serious medical episode from exposure.My bottom line is we didn't enjoy our meal. Too little and too dry for the money. Or as my wife said, it's lacking in quantity, quality, and value. Put this way, there is a notice about showing management your review prior to posting and you will get a free bag of their cinnamon powdered donuts. My wife asked if I was going to show this and get the donuts? Ok said, after this meal I don't want fresh donuts that are comparable to the food we just ate. I'd only be throwing them out.In comparison, we get the meal for two at the other local BBQ places, Mee Maws, Woody's, or Sonny's and usually have a meal to take home for at least $20 to $25 less.I guess it will be another 5 years or so before we return, unless I remember this posting.If management reads this, I'd be willing to talk about the meal.
