Tried this place when they first came to Mentor and found it to be mediocre at best. Tried take-out a couple years later and felt the quality of the product had not changed. On a whim and because it's years later, thought we'd try take-out again and it's stunning how bad it was. Ribs and wings were burnt black....you could get better bbq at Denny's. Fried pickle appetizer had most pieces glued together, with watered down ranch dressing. I know now why Mentor never gets the better chain restaurants.....no discernible palates. If there were, this place wouldn't still be in business. The strangest thing, though, my wife ordered fish and said it, in fact, was good. Go figure......

Smokey Bones may not have award winning ribs, but most of the time any ribs are good ribs. What I want to convey here is to not miss the cole slaw. It is the best cole slaw I have ever had in my long life. I would go here just for the cole slaw.

I've given other Smoking Bones high marks but this one I cannot. Now I must admit at this one I never consumed a beverage because yesterday I sat at the bar 10 mins. and the bartender was slammed and didn't even say hi and didn't smile and so I left. And then today for lunch I went in and there was no hostess around 2 p.m. and there was (possibly the same one?) a bartender doing other...stuff and I left after waiting and I believe the couple waiting in front of me left too. Last night the guy standing at the bar next to me when I wanted to eat also left and I left when he did. So in actuality I owe the bartender a drink at BRAVO! next door because that meal was divine, thank you very much actually.

Well let's see where do I begin? Drinks are top notch. Appetizers leave much to be desired. Barbeque is dry slaw well it's a lot salty. Service is good and only good. Kitchen is verrrryyyyy slow. Was beginning to wonder if they had to kill the pig. I keep trying but never overjoyed
(2)Alyssa A.
I start this by saying I hate barbeque sauce and most anything thats slathered in it. But....We checked this place out a few weeks ago and I was very impressed. I say this coming from someone who hasn't experienced true authentic KC, Louisana, Carolina, or TX barbeque or whereverelse that crazy blend of sauces comes from. I ordered the pulled pork entree with a side of coleslaw and smashed red skins. Loved it! all because it had no sauce at all on it and they have quite a selection of sauces to choose from at the table. So I choose the Caroline Moppin and the Chipotle, really spiced things up. He had a pick 4 with about everything on the menu, he was impressed as much as I was. For the price and atmosphere, it was a good place for him to get his meat fix and for me to come out of my barbeque shell. We will be back. Nice drink selection too, not your typical beers on draft...which was another plus!

I've been to 3-4 different Smokey Bones restaurants and have never been dissatisfied with the food. I always stuff my face. The food is consistent at each location so my review is for the food, not necessarily the location. The food doesn't compare to that of the 'mom and pop' type barbecue places that go to competitions and win awards, but it does surpass similar restaurants with equal price points such as Applebee's, Friday's, and Bennigans. Don't get me wrong, I like all those other restaurants but you go there more for the ambiance then actual quality / quantity of food. I always go with the 3 meat platter with brisket, smoked sausage, and pulled pork. Throw some mashed potatoes w/ gravy and steamed broccoli and this guy is stuffed. I also enjoy having my choice of 3 sauces for my meat. Now keep in mind that I only gave 3 stars. I believe Smokey Bones is a craving restaurant. I only go there when I am starving and am craving my man platter, which turns out is only 2-3 times a year. I go to the above mentioned restaurants 5-10 times a year, especially the Friday's that is right across the street for their super happy hour. So if you're a bbq snob, stay away, do some research and find that hole in a wall that you are really looking for. But if your just a hungry guy looking for a big meal and lots of leftovers, head over to Smokey Bones, you'll start getting that craving months later.

We ordered food to go - it was the first time we ever there- I had the morning glory burger with angus beef ( burger with cheese, bacon and a fried egg) and he had the double trouble of ribs ( 1/2 St Louis style & 1/2 baby back) we ha also ordered onion rings, the soft pretzel appetizers and chicken tenders for our children. Even in taking the food home it was pretty good. The chicken tenders are your typical kids chicken tenders but the soft pretzel breadsticks were AMAZING! He loved the ribs- its your typical chain restraint ribs. I have to say the burger was spectacular! I think partially due the fact it was angus beef ( you can choose angus over ground beef for a dollar or so more) but none the less it was delish! Picking up was simple. Very friendly staff & hardly a wait. Huge bar & tons of TVs to look at while you're waiting for the to go orders. Defiantly earned a 2nd visit from us

The smokehouse wing is great. It's smoked, with Memphis rub and drizzled with BBQ sauce. It was very delicious. The Smoke House burger was great. I wanted to take a break from eating ribs. It was a very good experience. The restaurant is really keeping the menu fresh. New menu items are introduced frequently.
(4)Steve R.
Dinner was reasonably priced and the food was good. The wait staff was very busy considering there wasn't a lot of customers. The biggest thing that surprised me was the cost of beer. If I had known it would be $8 a beer I would have stayed at the hotel bar.

This may be a very small chain - I'm just not that sure and didn't have time to really research it - besides - you are reading this because it's a review. Went here for lunch with two colleagues and our server's name was Charles - very nice gentlemen - almost like I was down south where the service is always friendly. We each ordered something a bit different from one another and all three meals were served together and in a very timely manner - considering this was lunch and I needed to get the training done - time was important and it met my plan! The food was great and they were accommodating to my requests. I wanted the pulled pork BBQ sandwich without of course the bread - that way I saved carb counting to the french fries that were really delicious. In fact - the pulled pork was good and the brewed ice tea - perfect! + Place was clean - prices were reasonable - service and speed were good - and the variety was great. So - let me end with the phenomenal soup - yep - it was that good! Every day is different and I'd be willing to try them ALL! Perfect it was not - but a solid four stars for sure - my pulled pork though tasty wasn't quite hot enough - temperature that is!
(4)Tony C.
Very good decor! Server was nice! Place was busy do to Mother's Day I had the fish and chips shore the fish was not fresh fried looked frozen tasted frozen. My wife had the beef brisket tasted ok but looked like mush on a plate not Good. They forgot my vinegar. They forgot the Mac cheese. The cole slaw was way to wet I almost choked on it gggggaggggg Had three people that were involved in my table not good. Way to much money for the quality of food 1-10 I give the place a 1 you guys need a lot of work sorry but true. How do I know because I've been a chef for the past 30 years.

BBQ was so so. Ribs were good, brisket a bit tough, smoked wings were amazing. Mashed potatoes were under salted and the baked beans looked and tasted as if they've been around too long. Pretty empty at 6 pm on a Tuesday but it was bad Cleveland weather. Waitstaff seemed to mill about the kitchen door. Our waitress was a little goofy but got the job done. Seems like the typical chain generic bbq spot. Check came before the dessert, apple wontons. Sure did not look like the pic in the menu... But what do you expect for 3 bucks?
(3)Steve M.
While it may not win awards for the very best BBQ around, our family had a great experience at this restaurant. The BBQ was very good, loved the wings wings with their Memphis sauce, and the vegetable sides were as good as we've had at much more expensive restaurants. Service was good, just a very pleasant eating experience for a family of six from Az.
(4)Ferris B.
Went here for a work party. The food was decent. I had the mac and cheese. It was really dry. It had no sauce to sit in. The noodles were a little too under cooked. I was not a fan. If you want good mac and cheese go to Willoughby Brew Co. My biggest issue was the bartender. I waited literally 25 minutes for her to finally approach me to make a drink. When she did acknowledge me instead of a, "what can I get you?" or "can I help you?" I literally got, "What do you want?" Sorrryyyy to bother you but I'd like a drink. I've been perfectly patient. She had to look everything up in the book to make it and I felt like I was bothering her for asking. Desert was interesting but good. We got the cheesecake bites. I was expecting them cold but they were hot and friend. It was like an explosion of warm sweetness in my mouth. It was delicious and came with a superb fruit dip. So good. Can't say I'd go back or recommend this place to anyone.

Went on a Sunday and the place was empty however it still took about 30 minutes for someone to take our drink order. The manager came up to us and said the waitress was busy and she then placed our drink orders. The food was decent but expensive. Would not go back!
(2)Dave J.
$3.00 for a soda ????.... I can buy a 12 pack at Giant Eagle for $2.99!!! Who ever heard of ordering a $10.00 burger where fries are EXTRA???? Sorry, Smokey Bones, you're losing on this one!!! Food and service are just not what they used to be... And the news says we are becoming a service nation?..... Smokey better get your act together!!!
(1)Drew T.
The best cornbread! Great staff and environment. A little pricey but worth it. Plenty of choices. Everything was on point.
(5)Rayshawn S.
Last night me and my fiancee stopped in after a movie we ordered the wings to go they made the order wrong so we had to wait an hr so they could make our food over the bartender told me we would receive a discount because the manager was good with those things his words he goes to talk to her I guess she said just charge us full price so we got no discount waited an hr and they made a mistake and over charged us and had to remove something from our bill not even so much as a 5$ off coupon we were offended but never spoke a word smiled payed our bill and left i even left a tip and this is not the first time that same person messed up our order and we are regulars we might not be back though I doubt they care
(1)Evelyn H.
To say I love Smokey Bones was putting it mildly. I've tried other places and they just don't compare in quality or quantity. I think between my husband and myself we've tried everything on the menu. It is a little noisy but the ribs are not to be missed. The cole slaw is also excellent and I love, love the steamed broccoli. We went back to Smokey Bones today (10/4/14). It was like night and day. We were told 30 minute wait and it was 45. Another 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. We gave the server our meal order immediately and it finally arrived about 30 minutes later. I had ordered the steamed broccoli and baked potato as a side with the pork loin in red wine mushroom sauce. The mushrooms were terrible - they were tough. It was as though they had been sautéed and then heated up in a microwave. After my previous experiences I did not expect this. We will put this near the bottom of our list of places to go in the future.

I had a take-out order for four people on a Friday night recently. We had a bad experience picking up our order at the restaurant, and the food was dry and bland. Our order was very late coming out of the kitchen. Ater i had been waiting awhile, the hostess explained that another order ahead of mine was very large and would normally require an hour's notice. But the family picking up that order "was really in a hurry" so it was given priority over mine. That explanation is insulting and unprofessional. I wasn't impressed, and I won't go back to this restaurant.

Simply put, not so impressed. But I should have figured/known better what I got myself into. It was my mothers idea, take out there, with the 10 dollars for 20 dollars worth of food. The place is known for barbecue, ribs, burgers I guess... I decided to try their new Asian Chicken Pasta Cream...thing.. because I'm not a fan of barbecue to much... I was figuring something good with grilled chicken with a bunch of flavors on top, with alot of sauces like they smear sauces all over their meats.. but on the pasta..... turned out to be a big fat no. Was in a little container, and looked like something from a microwave meal dish. Unhappy, I ended up putting it in the fridge the next day and doctoring it up with my own sauce homemade on the stove to make it actually have a taste. The rest of my family who also did the 10 dollars worth 20 mean ended up kind of liking there. Kinda.. I think... Over all, Never get pasta there...
(2)Chuck P.
We have been here 3 times in the last 6 months ..... And the quality has suffered :( ribs were the best part of our diner ...... Great smokey flavor ..... Drinks were too strong poor flavor ..... After telling our server that this drink was no good ..... He brushed it off and brought water , NO refill on the water .... Garlic steak was too salty and seemed microwaved ??? We decided to order cheesecake bites, one of our favorite desserts ..... Totally disappointed the center was still cold :( .... I'm not one to complain, I am the type of person to not re-visit this establishment. There are way too many great rib places in this area ! This place wasted my time and dime
(2)Roberto F.
Had the pretzel sticks for an appetizer as I am a sucker for soft baked pretzels I thought they were delicious. I got the burger with pulled pork on it and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. I used the hottest BBQ sauce they offered to add some BBQ favor and it was also pretty good but I must say it wasn't all that hot. Overall a very cool place and everyone else in my party was pleased with their food. We will return for sure.
(4)Robert H.
I love food. All types, barbecue especially. There is nothing more fascinating yet delicious about the process in which food becomes barbecue. The slow cooking, the smoke, the time, the energy, and the heart all somehow combine with an artistic array of ingredients to make a food so good that your mouth waters just thinking about it. Here at smokey bones you won't get any of that. I'm at the point where I believe that there is nothing more detrimental to good food that mcdonalizing it and selling it in franchises. Here at smokey bones that exactly what they've done. You will find a wonderful selection of mediocre and soul-less dishes here, all served in heaping portions. If you really enjoy this place, I question how you live your life. I know this is Ohio, it's not known per say for great BBQ. But any person who has emotion will know this is one sad thing that has happened here. I got ribs, a full slab, with two sides. The ribs were supposed to be "st.louis" style, however they were not anything like st. louis style bbq. Plus the additional sauce they provide is even more lame, some how the sauce just tastes greasy more than anything. The ribs where cooked ok, a little tougher than what I know but they were cooked ok. The flavor was just terrible. In short, this place is anti-food, don't go. It's lame.
(1)Kerensa B.
In a word, intense. Everything here is maximized, from the nearly ridiculous rustic huge rough hewn logs holding up the front porch, to the incredibly fast service, to the super sweet butter for our cornbread. Even our server was incredibly friendly and fast (drinks came out in almost a minute!) I had a salad with strawberries, fried chicken tenders, dijon dressing and goat cheese (how deliciously surprising to find goat cheese at a chain restaurant!) and it was lovely. My friend had a burger and baked potato, very good as well and amazingly fast. The menu is just a few pages but everything sounds good, even the donuts for dessert with chocolate and strawberry sauce. Everything had so much flavor, I could only eat a bit of the salad (might get the dressing on the side next time) but it was good. They also have a large bar, tv's, and a sound system to hear the tv's at your table (though it's hard to position yourself in a place to see them well). I would definitely come back! I look forward to seeing what they can do with bbq too.
(4)John M.
Smokey Bones: This is a great place that serves solid barbeque ribs and chicken. I went here a couple of times when I was an undergrad. The great thing about this place is that you can have a half chicken paired up with a half slab of ribs. Remember chicken AND beef is always better than chicken OR beef. One time I was at this place with my girlfriend at the time. We were having a nice meal in a booth. This guy comes by, sits right next to my girlfriend, and starts talking to her. I just blinked a couple of times, not believing what I was seeing. Before she could tell me that this guy was a friend from work, I told this guy that I was on a date and I'd be damned if I was going to be dining while looking at his ugly mug, so make like the wind and blow. This guy leaves and cue the waterworks. My woman was bawling. Turns out what I thought was chivalry ruined the evening. Live and learn people...live and learn.

Unhappy, I ended up putting it in the fridge the next day and doctoring it up with my own sauce homemade on the stove to make it actually have a taste. The rest of my family who also did the 10 dollars worth 20 mean ended up kind of liking there. Kinda.. I think... Over all, Never get pasta there...

We have been here 3 times in the last 6 months ..... And the quality has suffered :( ribs were the best part of our diner ...... Great smokey flavor ..... Drinks were too strong poor flavor ..... After telling our server that this drink was no good ..... He brushed it off and brought water , NO refill on the water .... Garlic steak was too salty and seemed microwaved ??? We decided to order cheesecake bites, one of our favorite desserts ..... Totally disappointed the center was still cold :( .... I'm not one to complain, I am the type of person to not re-visit this establishment. There are way too many great rib places in this area ! This place wasted my time and dime

Had the pretzel sticks for an appetizer as I am a sucker for soft baked pretzels I thought they were delicious. I got the burger with pulled pork on it and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. I used the hottest BBQ sauce they offered to add some BBQ favor and it was also pretty good but I must say it wasn't all that hot. Overall a very cool place and everyone else in my party was pleased with their food. We will return for sure.

I love food. All types, barbecue especially. There is nothing more fascinating yet delicious about the process in which food becomes barbecue. The slow cooking, the smoke, the time, the energy, and the heart all somehow combine with an artistic array of ingredients to make a food so good that your mouth waters just thinking about it. Here at smokey bones you won't get any of that. I'm at the point where I believe that there is nothing more detrimental to good food that mcdonalizing it and selling it in franchises. Here at smokey bones that exactly what they've done. You will find a wonderful selection of mediocre and soul-less dishes here, all served in heaping portions. If you really enjoy this place, I question how you live your life. I know this is Ohio, it's not known per say for great BBQ. But any person who has emotion will know this is one sad thing that has happened here. I got ribs, a full slab, with two sides. The ribs were supposed to be "st.louis" style, however they were not anything like st. louis style bbq. Plus the additional sauce they provide is even more lame, some how the sauce just tastes greasy more than anything. The ribs where cooked ok, a little tougher than what I know but they were cooked ok. The flavor was just terrible. In short, this place is anti-food, don't go. It's lame.

In a word, intense. Everything here is maximized, from the nearly ridiculous rustic huge rough hewn logs holding up the front porch, to the incredibly fast service, to the super sweet butter for our cornbread. Even our server was incredibly friendly and fast (drinks came out in almost a minute!) I had a salad with strawberries, fried chicken tenders, dijon dressing and goat cheese (how deliciously surprising to find goat cheese at a chain restaurant!) and it was lovely. My friend had a burger and baked potato, very good as well and amazingly fast. The menu is just a few pages but everything sounds good, even the donuts for dessert with chocolate and strawberry sauce. Everything had so much flavor, I could only eat a bit of the salad (might get the dressing on the side next time) but it was good. They also have a large bar, tv's, and a sound system to hear the tv's at your table (though it's hard to position yourself in a place to see them well). I would definitely come back! I look forward to seeing what they can do with bbq too.

Smokey Bones: This is a great place that serves solid barbeque ribs and chicken. I went here a couple of times when I was an undergrad. The great thing about this place is that you can have a half chicken paired up with a half slab of ribs. Remember chicken AND beef is always better than chicken OR beef. One time I was at this place with my girlfriend at the time. We were having a nice meal in a booth. This guy comes by, sits right next to my girlfriend, and starts talking to her. I just blinked a couple of times, not believing what I was seeing. Before she could tell me that this guy was a friend from work, I told this guy that I was on a date and I'd be damned if I was going to be dining while looking at his ugly mug, so make like the wind and blow. This guy leaves and cue the waterworks. My woman was bawling. Turns out what I thought was chivalry ruined the evening. Live and learn people...live and learn.
