My family and I ordered over $50 worth of food yesterday and it was horrible. We have made many purchases from this restaurant and the food is usually fresh and very good. To our surprise we were given 6 overcooked & burned ribs, the pork sandwich was also dry even with the barbecue sauce on it. All we could eat was the sides which were good Mac and Greens. I know the chef and I'm gonna assume he wasn't present when this was cooked or sent out. For now we will take a break to see if things get better next time we visit.

I have been trying to buy a $100.00 gift certificate from the Dover location for the last 4 weeks, but the only person that can do that is Chef Bones. I was told different times when he would be in. Between my daughter and myself, we have been there over 12 times, including Thanksgivivg. I asked the girl that works in Dover if when she got up with Chef Bones, could she make up the card and l would come and get it. That was not an option.

Everything was really dry, except the cheesesteak- it was soggy...and the mac & cheese was greasy. The dining room was empty, but very clean, and the staff was pleasant.

I came for lunch and half the menu was unavailable, the cashier didn't even apologize for the limited menu. When picking up my order I was told that one of my sides was unavailable. What was available was ok. Ribs and brisket were flavorful all be it tough. Interior is clean but dated.

I just had to share my last two experiences at TenderBones Dover DE location. The cashier was as always smiling, friendly and courteous. On both of my last 2 visits Angelo was the chef who prepared my food. OMG the chef special which is a cheesesteak featuring 3 lbs of rib eye steak, peppers, onions and of course cheese and golden crispy fried whiting were sheer perfection and oh so so delicious. The wait was short and Angelo prepared my entrées with love. He was very polite and customer friendly.I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves an awesome cheesesteak and fried fish. Btw fried fish is only available on Friday -Fish Fry Fridays.TenderBones was also rated one of the top locations for a great cheesesteak in Delaware.5 stars for sure!!!

What fabulous food and service!! We stopped on a recommendation while at the dog show at Lums Pond State Park. so very glad we did!! The cheese steak is HUGE and out of this world delicious!! The flavor is beyond compare! Ribs!! Fall off the bone tender meaty rib with a fantastic sauce which also did not disappoint. We got collard greens because you've got to get greens when you can...super taste, not over cooked with flakes of pork, amazing!! Last and definitely NOT least, Mac and cheese!! Never and I mean never have I had such flavor in a Mac and cheese. My only regret is I'm only in this area once a year!! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!!

Store was closed earlier than when they were supposed to at dover location says they close at 5pm on Sunday but yet they closed at at least 430. Called the bear location and the guy just says we're sold out we ask sold out of what and he says everything so we're closing. Like how are you a business and you're not stocked up properly like how is this acceptable

Staff is friendly and the food's pretty tasty the Mac & cheese is clog your arteries and raise your blood pressure cheesy good??? just wished they offered beef options for ribs. Other than that you'll leave satisfied with your tummy on fat fat.
