12 Bones Smokehouse SOUTH

Awesome barbecue! Enjoyed the blueberry chipotle sauce!

Not as good as it used to be....
Please.- What happened!
My BLT and macaroni was Not Good!
Th big uncut BLT was soggy 3 min. after I got it and th white macaroni was plain. Several people at my table asked to taste th macaroni and agreed it was tasteless! Gosh!
A lot of competition out here!
Yucky!

Great food...period

I git the ribs, portion size for the half rack was too much for me. But it was good.

If I could give a zero, I would. The food was absolutely the worse thing ive ever eaten. Truly. I ordered pulled pork sandwich, corn pudding and potato salad. The BBQ was so dry and had zero seasoning. The had only one bbq sauce which tasted like they put 7 pounds of sugar in it. The corn pudding was literally almost corn soup, it was so undercooked, and the potato salad looked like vomit in a bowl and didnt taste much better. First and last time ill ever eat here. The music playing over head was stupidly obnoxious and deafening. Just an entirely awful experience. Do yourself a favor and go to 3 little pigs instead. So much better!

We're super fans of 12 Bones and have been for many years. We would have lunch down at the River Art District 1-2/month, until Helene hit and devastated the whole area (sad emoji). Now we head to the Arden location every chance we get for some of the best BBQ in the south-east. Servings are huge, and besides the great meats, their sides are fantastic. They also have a superb selection of brews. We're always recommending 12-Bones to our guests.

Vegetarian options: M.L.T. (Mushroom Lettuce Tomato) sandwich for the veg heads out there.

Sides were great. The half rack of ribs on the other hand were just this side of jerky. As I was leaving noticed another customer who also got ribs appeared to have given up on them after eating just a few bites so it wasn't just me.

First visit was yesterday. I’ve lived around here my whole life, just never had the urge to visit.
Food was mediocre. Bbq no better than any other bbq I’ve ever had, but the green beans were just gross, they had a very funky flavor. Won’t visit again.

We ordered a chicken plate with 2 sides on 11/7/24. The chicken was dry and not tender. The sides of coleslaw and baked beans were good.
