    My husband and I stopped here after a long motorcycle ride because we were hangry . . . Smokey Bones did not disappoint! We had the Bone-Fire and definitely had leftovers to take home! Service was fast and our server was very attentive. The food was amazing, so full of flavor, very filling and the drinks were delicious. The overall experience was really great!!

    Tim was an amazing bartender and server! He gave us a wonderful selection of wings and flavors to taste and choose from. Everything was delicious and flavorful with every bite. 10/10 will be returning here! I definitely recommend smokey bones Lakeland if you are looking for a laid back yet magnificent dining experience!

    I love this place. Servers and Food always on point! Thank you for everything and I will be back soon. Well shit….months later and I had to break up with Smokey Bones and not because of the staff because they are amazing! But the company decided to no longer carry Mahi and well it’s ones of the only things I can eat. This sucks. I hope they rethink this. Until then…..

    My family and I stopped to celebrate after my granddaughter's recital. I want to give a very well-deserved KUDOS to SAVANNA for taking such good care of us!! She was patient, kind, and went ABOVE and BEYOND customer care. Some of the dishes we had were the Baby Back Ribs, The BLT Club, Pulled Pork Sandwich. The food was delicious and SAVANNA'S attentive and outstanding attention to details brought the experience to a whole new level. I would recommend this establishment and SAVANNA as your server!

    The 4 stars are an average of my present and past experiences with them. I guess it depends very much what you are ordering and when. This time nothing was that good except the service. The fried pickles had too thick of a breading and they were made from too ripped cucumbers (large, tough, with large seeds), the Cesar Salad had lots of wilted, brown leaves in it. Brisket Grilled Cheese did not have enough cheese (could've been my fault, I replace one of the cheeses in it and probably I should've not) and was made with pulled Brisket which in my opinion is a technique to transform good meat into meat wool. And since "meat wool" is inherently dry, they probably try to fix that by soaking it in barbecue sauce which is too sweet and all together too much. On the other hand, I had great meals with them before so as an average I would still recommend them to a friend.

    We made it in on a Monday night for dinner with our group. We tried a good variety of food and were not disappointed with any of it. The portions for the apps were a bit small and not very shareable. We ordered the large Bonebowl for 4 plus a few other items. All the smoked meats were good. The wings were juicy but well cooked. The ribs were nicely done. The potatoe wedges were great. Everyone was pretty happy with the food. When we did use the bathroom we were a little concerned. They were pretty filthy and run down. Which gave me an awful impression of what the kitchen might look like. Yuck.

    Thanksgiving was too busy 1 hour plus and at other places. We decided to go to Smoky Bones, our first time. We were seated in about 2 minutes, the service was outstanding, the food was great 👍 we will be back. Tim our server was the best!

    Great food, great service! Pricing seems high, but it's really a lot of food. Husband got the wings, Buffalo was okay, but the house bbq and rub one's were amazing! I got the full size mag nachos.... don't make the same mistake unless you are super hungry. Get the mini, because that plate is Huge! All of it was delicious

    My waitress, Brandi, was fantastic. I got the Smokehouse Mac & Cheese, and although they were out of sliced brisket, she was able to conjure me up some chopped brisket, so it still had that great bbq brisket flavor! I really wanted to have their cheesecake, but I was so full!

    Me and my wife went on December 1st and we were greeted by Jessica! She was also our server. While the hamburger was slightly overcooked (I prefer rare), the food was still amazing. Jessica showed extreme hospitality towards me and my wife, and she was very friendly. Me and my wife go barefoot due to health & religious reasons, and we were allowed entry, and no one said anything mean to us about it. We'll come back for sure! Thanks, Jessica for your amazing service! God Bless you guys!!

    My friend and I wanted to try somewhere new and we looked up restaurants open late and smoky bones popped up. We went to check it out and ended up having a great experience! Easy parking, friendly staff, the food was perfect. Everything cooked extremely well and seasoned beautifully! They had an extensive drink menu and our server Haley recommended the strawberry sangria because I couldn’t decide! It was absolutely delicious! Ended the night with a hot bag of cinnamon donuts brought to us by our wonderful server! Haley was on top of it, quick, friendly, and ready with suggestions for new comers. For sure our new favorite spot

    Trying to be understanding of staffing issues but this was just awful. Waited an hour and a half for food after a 45 min wait for a table. The restaurant was not busy, they just have no staff. The food was cold by the time it came out and portions are very small for the price. Chicken wings were undercooked and we are concerned about food poisoning (see picture)

    I think it's a great place to eat. For the food. The waitress was really nice but I didn't appreciate that she was cleaning at the same time as she spoke to us. But as I've worked in that industry I didn't put to much to thought maybe it was her time to go or something. Idk. Still gave a good cash tip(remember to always tip in cash) anyways I give the food a great thumbs up but the experience I guess a 4. Overall 4.5. I had the grilled cheese brisket sandwich and partner had ribs all was delightful.
