I'm going to jump right in here and give Smokey Bones a 3.5 star rating... It is what it it is, a chain BBQ restaurant with a shack feel in a good way! For those familiar with Famous Daves you'll appreciate this place. They smoke their own meats, aren't pretentious, and if you leave hungry it's your own fault.
The service was pleasant and our waitress answered all of our questions while providing recommendations when we asked. We ended up splitting a full rack of Baby Backs (dry rub finished) with three sides including baked beans, fire roasted corn, and onion rings. Sharing was definitely the way to go unless you're really hungry.
I've had Q from all over the country and this is neither the best or worst thats crossed my lips but holds it's own when you're jonesing for smokey sticky goodness. I'm still a one off hole in the wall kind of guy but in the absence of that Smokey Bones takes care of the craving.
Some things to keep in mind are the beef brisket and beef ribs are only available after 16:00 (4:00 pm for those not familiar with the 24 hour clock) while the smoked prime rib is only available Thursday through Saturday nights...
