Came here on a Saturday night and the waiter (he was the owner's close friend and seemed more like the store manager) seated us shortly at the bar upstairs facing the wall of whiskey, SCORE!
My husband recently got into whiskey so sitting at the bar faced with the hundreds of bottles of whiskey on display was unique and a major plus for us.
We ordered the Pork Side Ribs, 2 piece Fried Chicken, with sides of Mac N Cheese and Brussel Sprouts, with a Bread Pudding for dessert.
The Pork side ribs were very flavorful and the house made bbq sauce was delicious. The ribs themselves were a tiny bit dry, but still very good.
The first piece of the fried chicken was very good, crunchy and delicious, but was also very oily and heavy so the second piece didn't taste nearly as satisfying (not surprised really, but it was a bit heavier than some other fried chicken that I've had in the past).
Both sides were soo good, who'd have thought Brussel Sprouts with caramelized onions would taste so good?! The brussel sprouts were perfectly charred with the slight sweetness of the onions and the sauce perfectly complimenting the slightly bitter taste of the brussel sprouts.
The Bread pudding was a perfect finale to an already awesome meal. If the meal itself sucked I would go back just for the Bread Pudding, it was THAT good.
The restaurant itself was also very lively and welcoming and the friend / manager was a very spirited host. That's the feeling you get from Smoque N Bones - that you're being hosted by people who are genuinely happy that you're there rather than being served by waiters and waitresses.
