Unique Experience

by cartoonsrcool at Citysearch

I was recommended by a family member to give Smokey Bones a try when visiting Columbus. My experience was definately worth while. The setup of Smokey Bones was very unique. It had a nice log cabin feel to it. The service was very good, and food was out comparitively quick. The ribs were excellent, and they are in my top five favorite ribs. The waitstaff was very good, and we were seated very quickly. Though it can be very busy. Sports games are usually on the various television sets throughout Smokey Bones.

  • Pros: Great Ribs, Good Service, Unique Atmosphere

Excellent BBQ!

by Jim Grinstead at Citysearch

I am a recent transplant from Kansas, and enjoy good BBQ. I had a horrific experience at the Hickory House in Reynoldsburg, and another experienced reviewer pointed me to Smokey Bones. Great advice! True BBQ pork, brisket, and ribs to die for! The decor is cool, and the have a bunch of large screen TVs that show trivia and music videos. The service was also top notch, and they keep four different kinds of BBQ sauce right on the table that are geographically correct, so you can choose what you want, or mix and match. We will be returning to this fine one-of-a-kind restaurant very soon, thanks Cris.

Just Average

by Rib Lover 1 at Citysearch

We decided to try something different, besides our normal place in Reynoldsburg. The Bar-Que was good, but everything else below average. The service was very poor, the hostess not friendly, and throughout our dinning experience, we didn't even see or feel the presents of a manger. I had the smoke chicken wings, good (Actually really good), my husband had ribs and will not make that decision again. (Very dry, no taste, and just not good)!!! Love the building/decor, but everything else is not for me. We will not be back, but give it a try yourself.

Good stuff!

by chris1961 at Citysearch

Excellent authentic smoked BBQ. Wide variety on the menu. The smoked chicken wings are the best. Nice bar with lots of TVs, and the wait staff has always been top notch. It is a little on the pricey side though, but I suppose you get what you pay for...Ill being going back for the great ribs!

  • Pros: true BBQ, versitile menu, freindly wait staff
  • Cons: price

Decent BBQ

by NickF at Citysearch

The food and prices are good but, for a BBQ FANATIC, it's not exceptional by any means. If you are going with friends to hang and watch a game or something then it's a pretty cool atmosphere but if you are looking for a low-key place you may be disappointed. Overall, worth a try.

  • Pros: Sports bar atmosphere
  • Cons: Sports bar atmosphere

Mountain-lodge decor and slow-cooked meats draw barbecue lovers and sports fans to this woodsy chain restaurant.

by Contributor at Citysearch

In Short
Rustic accents like logs, lanterns and fieldstone may adorn the exterior, but inside, it's all about ceiling-mounted TVs for fans who want sports with their spicy food. A large bar with a giant television dominates, while flanking wooden booths come with audio selectors and easy views of nearby screens. Sundry meats are cooked in-house over hickory wood: pulled pork (hand-pulled daily), baby back ribs, barbecued chicken, smoked beef brisket and various combination platters.

Cool place! Good Ribs

by eddie5150 at Citysearch

Have been to SB several times. Each time has been top-notch. Several TV screens to watch, and well-informed waitstaff make this place easy to hang out in. The after-dinner donuts are to die for. Order them. You won't be sorry!

  • Pros: Ribs, chicken, DONUTS
  • Cons: Avoid busy times for best experience.
