Ordered wings through Uber eats. They had a promo going on for buy one get one 6 piece wings. I ordered 2 orders of the smoked Buffalo wings. (One order pictured) I'm not sure what I expected lol but they were actually really good. I've never heard of the place before wanted to try some new wings as I'm so over the dry overcooked wings at other places. These wings were a decent size and juicy. Really appreciated that they offered smoked wings. The only thing was I ordered two orders of wings and only received 1 blue cheese which was disappointing but not the end of the world. Might have been an oversight but overall wish I received the 2 ordered. Nevertheless would give the wings an 8/10 would have loved a little more buffalo sauce on them but overall they were good. Random but "The wing experience" maybe a ghost kitchen. As my receipt said "welcome to Smokey bones" ... so maybe they're just the smoked wings from Smokey bones and rebranded as a wing company ? won't stop me from ordering in the future but now I'm wanting to try the wings from Smokey bones and compare.

Should have listened to the reviews sauce, stale wing half had sauce. Others were just plain, but at least it wasn't

Under new management. A little disappointed that the St. Louis ribs are being discontinued but they're still available while quantities last. And why would they remove Pinot Noir from the bar menu; it's a very popular wine. Not EVERYBODY who goes there is a beer-drinking sports fan. Food is still very good.

Good service but worst ribs ever…my wife got the brisket,they were ok just a bit dry. I got my plate which they call signature ribs and I can tell you I eaten ribs from all over and these were absolutely the worst. The flavour was off, double layer of bones?? And didn’t feel well till next day…

This place has the personality of a wet noodle. Happy hour prices are ok, but the quality and quantity of happy hour items are sub par. It's McDonald's with seating 2.0.

We were looking for a restaurant that serves a variety of foods. We came upon Smokey Bones while researching restaurants in the area. The food was good. It did not tasted like it just came off the grill, it was lukewarm to say the least, but still good. I would definitely eat here again.

I got food poisoning from the food! I began having issues within a few hours from eating and have been sick all night and into this morning! I ordered through Uber Eats, so I didn’t see these horrible reviews until now. DO NOT EAT THEIR FOOD.

I would not leave a bad review except the same thing has happened three times in a row at the Ft. Lauderdale location. We have noticed that it takes at least 10 minutes after being seated for a server to come to the table. We immediately say we're ready to order because we have learned that once the server leaves your table it takes ages before they come back. After we order the food it has taken nearly 25 minutes to be served the food. Then we actually have to flag down a server to say we're ready for the check...once again 10 - 15 minutes between each action. Last night the server left the device you swipe your card on with us and we were waiting for her to come back to get it, which she never did so we left. Food is good but the service is absolutely awful. Don't bother going there for dinner if you are in any kind of a hurry. P.S.....there were hardly any customers on each of these nights too....no excuse!

4/28/23-sat at bar . Big bar lots of bar seats. Gina the bartender is spot on. Running the whole bar by herself. I’d say There was at least 16 people. We ordered the Rib Sampler. You get 2 sides so Cole slaw and beans. Slaw good, hubby said beans had bacon in it. I had the house salad , w/ BACON RANCH did I say bacon ranch lots of it too. They have sweet and unsweetened tea. We shared this big meal. The also have a HH Food menu. Which has the pretzels w/hot melted yummy cheese for only $5.00. We asked if we can get it at the end of meal for the HH price , manager there said sure. Thank you . He also was running food. But Gail did a great job speaking to all guest . Filling up my ice tea. The food is good . Plus they put a small brown bag on table for your bones. Great idea. So employee’s don’t have to touch your bones.

It is always nice to find a place that can offer some good BBQ. We were recommended to give Smokey Bones a try while we are here in FTL. So we stepped in and gave it a shot. There were special opportunities at this time. A special was to share smoked ribs with two different sides. There was also a variety of chicken wings you could have to start or for dinner. And with a beer it is fine. This was a good place to be. The rid we ordered was good. You have a variety of sauces to use with it from mild to hot. There was enough to eat. All home made. The mac & cheese we had it was really good and tasty. The coleslaw was fresh and and was flavorful. They gave you a lot to eat. The service was nice. The price was good. Not bad for the meal. Having eaten BBQ ribs before each area is different. This filled the space in between. It is good to remember next time I want something different to eat.
Very friendly service but the food took forever and they were not busy for a Friday night. The FF came out cool and greasy. The broccoli was washed out. The portions were small but that was ok since I didn't care for it. The visit before was very good.

We entered Smokey Bones on a Tuesday for dinner and a beer. We met a very pleasant bartender name Matt at the bar. We asked for the special of the day and he wasted no time telling us what they were. I was very pleased with the serve and the chicken diner was very good. I certainly will return to this restaurant.

If you haven't already dined at Smokey Bones, I STRONGLY recommend You do so. Ask for the Smokey Bones special of a 1/3 rack of ribs with potato, a side salad, and beer for only $19.99!!!!!! What a fantastic meal and bargain!!!! The ribs were finger-licking good. Make it a MUST on your bucket list of places to dine while in Fort Lauderdale. It's well worth it!!!!

We ordered a meal deal for two which was two full racks with sides and a beer, we struggled to finish but it was so cheap that we didn't feel bad. The food was great as was our server, would highly recommend.

Food sucks. This isn't even a restaurant it's run out of smokey bones. Ordered garlic parm wings and there was absolutely no sauce on them. The loaded fries were soggy because they had tomatoes on them which was not listed on the ingredients. Will not order again.
