Fabulous food! Excellent cocktail suggestion and super friendly service! Came here on a whim and would totally come back for more! It's a really good laid-back place with a nice vibe and lots of TV screens (if you're into sports). Personally, I prefer the music but my husband liked the sports and we both enjoyed the food!

I went here Friday 2/28/2025 with my family to celebrate my sister's life. The server was great! We had a a party of 20 & she was on top of everything. The food was amazing! Thank you so much for the great atmosphere to celebrate my sister's passing.

Food was good. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich. Lucas our server was attentive and very friendly. Had a good time

I had half a rack of baby back ribs, plus sides of baked beans and cole slaw. Delicious, plus the drinks were great. Kelsey our waitress was very nice. I recommend Smokey Bones in Grand Rapids.

We had the bar & fire grill for 2 and it was amazing!! This is the best idea EV...ER!! Our food was hot from start to finish and we took our time. The 2 charcoal briquettes were still burning hot even after we had finished our food. Our server was very attentive as well. Thank you for a great experience.

Ok the wings are good, but.....do not order the smoked wings with lemon pepper seasoning. I have been cutting back on all of the sauces and tried to go with a healthier option but the lemon pepper definitely clashed with the smokiness of the wings. That was my fault of course. Nonetheless, I've always enjoyed the wings here and my girls also enjoyed their food. Still giving them 4 stars.

Took my daughter to Smokey bones for a couple of their chicken sandwiches. I forget the full name, but it had barbecue sauce on it, and was delicious. Very friendly staff, but was just a little slow getting us our check. Seems to be a common occurrence at all restaurants so this doesn't stand out above anywhere else. The restaurant and bar areas were all clean and up-to-date. Food was a little costly, but it was delicious.
