Google says they close at 9. I just called at 8:33 and the girl on the phone said they closed at 8:30.

Food is always extremely consistent. Lilly usually waits on me and she is always such a delight.

We ordered burgers and fries and for a barbecue restaurant.It was not worth mcdonald's would have been a better choice and that's not saying much. The burger was so thin and overcooked.You could hardly swallow it. I do not recommend this place.It wasn't even crowded so the cook had plenty of time to put some kind of time into this meal.

They make the cinnamon butter in house for the sweet potato! Others don't have it at all.

Kevin is the nicest most helpful manager I have ever encountered. Every time we order our weekend platters for our office he makes sure everything is amazing and on time! Thanks for going the extra mile every time! :)

I Chose Bono’s for my sons 11th birthday and it was ruined by the manager, Kevin. As a long time and VERY frequent EX customer, I am very upset about the way my family was treated on 6-20-25. My son and I chose Bono’s to celebrate our birthdays because we LOVE the food and had my Mother, nephews, sister and other family members meet us at 7:30pm for what should’ve been a beautiful evening. First, they were out of ribs and brisket on Friday night which was very disappointing to many in my party but we ordered from what was available and our Server was fantastic. Long story short, the manager, Kevin decided at 9:10pm he should shut all the surrounding lights off around us. An obvious sign for us to hurry up and get out. Very disrespectful! There was another couple eating on the other side of the restaurant but their lights were not turned off. I understand they close at 9 but that doesn’t mean, “everyone finish quick and get out cause the manager wants to get out as early as possible on Friday night”! It means, no new orders/customers after 9pm. We were aware of the time and trying to hurry. As soon as we ate, we sang Happy Birthday to my son and I, cut our cake and even offered cake to all the staff. We weren’t lingering. As soon as we finished our cake, my Mother started passing presents to my son and I. That’s when Bono’s shut out the lights on us. We couldn’t believe it! We took the very rude and disrespectful hint. We collected our things, payed our bills, tipped our server (very well) and left by 9:15 in a very embarrassed and upset state. My son opened his presents at home as did I without being able to hug and thank Mom/Grandma for everything. I went back inside to tell Kevin, the manager how disrespectful he treated us. He first tried to deny that he was shutting out the lights on us intentionally but when I told him to stop treating me like a fool he responded with something along the line of “C’mon man it’s 9:20!”. Admitting that wanted us out. I’m sorry that in the restaurant business, which I worked many years, that you sometimes get stuck on Friday, Saturday nights working late. That’s part of the deal. Come speak to me like an adult instead of embarrassing my entire family. Lesson learned. Customers lost. I will eat lesser BBQ before I or my family comes back to Bono’s. I will also tell this ridiculous story to every single person I get the opportunity to. Shame on you Kevin and shame on you Bono’s. I’m honestly distraught about never returning to one of my and my family’s favorite restaurants.
