PROS
- the pulled pork mac n cheese is excellent
- the baby back ribs are very good - thick and tasty
CONS
- it would be nice if they offered the half rack option for all their ribs - a full rack of ribs is too much for two people but the baby back ribs only come as a full rack
- the bar seating area is too dark
I'm going to rant a bit here. If I remember correctly, their little card machine has four tipping options: 18%, 20%, 21%, and "choose a percentage." First of all, the standard tipping percentage is FIFTEEN percent. This place is a CASUAL rib joint with less-than-desirable bar seating - not a high-end restaurant like Scaramouche - so I think it's rather pompous of the Smoke N Bones folks to think that they're entitled to higher-than-average tips and not even offer 15% as a pre-selected option.
And I typically tip 15% on the PRE-TAX amount of the bill. Am I the only person that finds it absolutely ridiculous to tip on tax??
