| - I'm so happy to have finally been able to pay Smoque n' Bones a visit. It's been on my to-go list for over a year now. To celebrate our anniversary, my bf and I were looking for a very relaxed restaurant to eat some good food - we're very laid back and weren't looking for anything super fancy. I was using my trusty yelp app and stumbled upon Smoque n' Bones.
To start, we walked in and it was nicely decorated. No one greeted us; in fact, the only server (?) there had her back facing the door. I've worked in the restaurant industry before and that's a huge no-no. We walked up to her, and we greeted her. She was not very warm or welcoming. She was very standoffish and was unsure whether the kitchen was still open or not or if they were serving their late night menu. The chef confirmed that the kitchen was still open. We picked our own table, and she brought us menus and tiny glasses with a glass bottle of water. Ps. the water, for some reason, was grainy.. or could have been a dirty glass... *gag* The server's mood did change once she came to grab our orders though...
We ordered the dinner for two and it was enough to fill the two of us. We got the 1/2 rack, 1/4 sausage, 1/4 pulled pork, mac and cheese, baked beans and onion rings.
1/2 rack - The server recommended the rack and it was probably the worst item that came. It was really, really, dry. We did end up packing it to go, and i reheated it in the microwave the next day and it was a lot less dry and more tasty... So I can only assume that we were served ribs that were sitting out way too long.
Sausage - Good but salty
Pulled Pork - The best meat item we got! SOOOO good.
Mac and Cheese - The first item I ate and it was freaking delicious. I still dream about it!
Baked Beans - Mediocre
Onion Rings - Really yummy but salty especially towards the bottom of the bowl.
All in all, I would return and have even planned to return with my friend to get the Mac and Cheese and pulled pork. But I won't recommend the rack unless they're fresh out the oven... and they need to be less heavy handed with the salt...
