The Die Munster Die burger was delicious! The burger itself was juicy and flavorful, and the aioli and pickles and egg made it creamy with a little kick. I love the mac and cheese and collards, also. This was takeout, so I got to eat it about twenty minutes after it was made, and it was great!

Excellent first experience at Bonetown. The parm garlic fries are great, much better than Frisky's. I enjoyed both the brisket and burger. Looking forward to another visit.

I enjoyed it. JusT was expecting a good and cheesy Mac and cheese .burger was cooked quite well. Overall I would come again if I we're to pass by in the area .service was great.

Went to the Cranston location and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I had a delicious burger, beans, and fries. Everything was freshly made and served hot. They also offer a wide choice of homemade sauces for your fries or whatever you want to flavor. The beans had a cajun/smoked flavor that definately beats out the traditional New England sweet stuff. While the location may lack a bit of ambiance, it is more than made up for by the friendly staff.

By far the BEST bbq I have ever had. I ordered the brisket meal with Mac & cheese, cornbread and baked beans. My fiancé ordered a burger with pulled pork on a pretzel bun and (homemade)fries. Everything was AMAZING! From the homemade bbq sauces and ketchups to the homemade pickles on the burger! So much flavor!!We met the owners wife who was extremely sweet and friendly! ! I am glad we stopped in and I can’t wait to return! They also have food trucks that we will be sure to follow!!!

I had the chopped meal which came with brisket and pulled pork. A side of greens, slaw and Mac and cheese. I will say the Mac and cheese was the best thing I had. The greens were so sour I couldn't even eat it. The slaw had no salt and the meat had no flavor. I definitely will not recommend and won't go back.

goes beyond comprehension why some establishments are allowed to serve food for human consumption! Bonetown bbq in Cranston is just such a place..I'm currently sitting on my couch recovering from my second day of a fever ,vomiting & diarrhea after eating ribs from this restaurant! I can't even hold down liquids! I hadn't eaten anywhere,but home last week so I can say for sure it was this meal!The ribs where lukewarm,and dry on the outside,while the center near the bone was bright pink! Similar in color to a pencil eraser! So Thank you Bonetown for a trip to the hospital,lost wages from missing work,and an horrible illness that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy!

Note: I've never had a Yelp account until today - when this food made me feel I had to leave a review. See the photos attached to this review - the first is what their ribs are advertised as, the second is what we received. Review: Searched online for "best ribs in RI", this place seemed to be highly reviewed. My wife and I placed an online order for 1/3 rack of " Dry Rubbed St Louis Smoked Ribs", a Burnt Ends meal, and their Simmons burger which is the only veggie burger on the menu. The ribs were the biggest turn off here. I opened the container when I got home and said, "wow, that doesn't even look right.." if I had to guess they come from frozen and are boiled. There is no smoke flavor, they taste like boiled hot dogs. I should've realized this when I got here and there was no smoker in sight at the restaurant. The burnt ends were extremely dry (I know they're the ends of the brisket so they should be more cooked, but these were like leather) and doused in their house sauce which is oddly tangy and not very sweet. The veggie burger my wife tried, and tossed. I tried it and I enjoy veggie burgers usually. This was straight baby food texture with a chemical aftertaste. One bright side: the potato salad and cornbread weren't bad. Avoid this place.

I really wanted to love Bonetown much more than I actually did. I have to say, putting my order through my mouth was literally watering the entire time. The photos looked so incredible! Went in at 6:15 on a Friday night and oddly there was nobody in there. Looked pretty slow... First, the prices are pretty reasonable for BBQ. The selection is great and I honestly wanted to try everything. I ended up getting a meal with 3 meats (1/4 lb each), 2 sides, cornbread and slaw. For the meats I picked brisket, ribs, and chicken. Sides were collards and beans. The meats were... bland. Absolutely juicy, tender, fresh but seemed bland and under seasoned (under salted). I expected to sense and taste smoky, rich meaty flavors but this just wasn't there. The brisket had a TON of fat (see photo). Ribs and chicken were just ok. Make sure you ask for extra sauce! I ended up with a tiny little container of sauce which wasn't nearly enough. The sides were pretty good. The beans were very flavorful, smoky, sweet but a little kick at the end yet not what you'd consider spicy or hot. The collard greens were nice and tender with good flavor. You can see pieces of meat in there. The slaw was just ok. Cornbread was super dry. I am willing to give this place another try for sure. There's still so much on the menu left to try and I'm hoping tonight was just a fluke. Fingers crossed!

The wife and I was cruising from Foxwoods when my belly started singing along with the satellite radio "I'm Hungry for your love" key word being hungry. Searching the web for great burgers, it replied Bonetown Burgers and BBQ. We laughed at the thought that a burger spot had the audacity to add BBQ after the burger as if. How F'en wrong can one be. The name should be Bonetown BBQ and Yeah, we can make a burger. The BBQ ranks among the best I've tasted and I've had BBQ in at least 7 states. The Burnt End Brisket was tender and soft with that crispy bark around the sides, the pulled pork was tasty, great smoked flavor and pulled consistent with no bunched up knots. The potatoe salad was excellent, the collards were a little spicy, loaded with meat, soft not chewy, even the stalks were tender. The pork chili was fantastic with beans, pork, red peppers, tomato. The thickness was right on point. I could go on and on but I'll end by saying. If you want to have a dining experience where the employees treat you like you have been there 100 times yet it's your first, then go there. The service was amazing, friendly, courteous. I'm going back over and over and over again. Maybe I'll see you there. Peace and I'm out till next time.

The meats I have tried are all very good, the brisket and pulled pork was so tasty it didn't need any sauce at all. However the sauces they offer are all very good. The burgers taste good and the cornbread is fantastic. The beans are also OK. The other sides I've had are all lackluster. The mac & cheese was somehow dry, overcooked and cold but the portion was big for the price. The fries weren't great either definitely under seasoned, I got the garlic parmesan fries and there was plenty of parmesan but not once did I taste garlic. I would suggest this place for some really good BBQ and cornbread for the area but I caution that the sides the handful of times I've gone haven't been very good.
