"Good BBQ. Fast casual style restaurant. Full service prices. Brisket was good. Nachos a little light. Pork on them could have been cut a little smaller. Overall a good visit."

"This is a small barbecue joint in a bit of a strip mall, but it's worth the stop if you're in the area. The meat was juicy (I had pulled pork and the brisket), the sides were tasty (be forewarned, the collards had hot pepper flakes in them without warning, which I enjoyed but if you're not expecting it...), and they have a nice selection of beer. I splurged a little and got the Brunswick stew, and it was quite tasty, with a little kick. I primarily dealt with one young lady behind the counter for ordering and delivery of my food, and she was very helpful and quite pleasant to deal with. This is the type of establishment that, in spite of its shopping center location, brings in regular customers - one of the folks behind the counter greeted a customer who came and sat at the counter by name, and seem to have an idea of what the customer regularly ordered. Overall, it was a really good experience, even if a tad bit more expensive than I had expected (But I also don't get out much, so maybe that's the only rate these days...). If you want to try two meats, and have a beer, expect to spend along the line of $35 or so, but it was yummy."

"4th of July Lunch. They were already sold out of brisket, chicken and ribs - no doubt it was fantastic. We opted for the Smokehouse Salad with pulled pork, pulled pork sandwich, pork nachos, mac and cheese and sweet potato fries. All items were excellent and so much left over we have dinner and lunch tomorrow covered."

"Well prepared food and quick service. New to the area I was looking for some classic BBQ and saw this joint and decided to give it a whirl. I ordered the wings and they were a great size and cooked to perfection. My only gripe was with the sauce. You see this is really a regional thing but I prefer the TN sauce variation. This is not to say this was bad it is just not the red sweet sauce I grew up with so not my preference."

"Enjoyable experience at The Bone. There are quite a few choices to make your experience top notch. They had an ample selection of local independent Brews to accompany your barbecue plenty of burgers to choose from and of course very enjoyable barbecue. I ordered the barbecue pork platter which included two sides. The barbecue pork was very good and the two sauces I enjoyed complemented it nicely. The sweet potato fries were unfortunately covered in sugar which made them extraordinarily sweet and the collard greens were a bit soggy although very tasty. It was my first experience at this location with plenty of parking on the corner of the Stonewall Shopping Center. It's not an easy place to get into or out of, but The Bone makes it worth a visit."
