Was excited to try this place, as we were visiting from out of town. But we left pretty disappointed. Arrived at 7:10, restaurant notes open until 8:00. We were met with looks of disappointment and annoyance instead of a greeting. Asked if we were a problem, no one answered. We were told we could only sit at the table closest to the counter because the rest of the restaurant had been cleaned for the night already. Even though the table in the corner was clearly still dirty.
Brisket was dry and didn’t taste smoked, tasted like an overcooked Sunday roast, ribs were decent. Sausage was decent but just a smoked hot dog, cornbread was also dry. Weren’t acknowledged by the staff even once after ordering and they didn’t even bother to say thanks or ask how anything was. We were in and out in under 20 minutes. But if you’re not looking to serve customers in the last hour you’re open (we arrive 50 minutes before close) just close. Would not recommend

Food was really good. We loved the Dirty Rice, Mac and Cheese, corn bread, and smoked sausage! The specialty sauces where great and had a good variety for my whole group! Would have been 5 stars, but the chicken breast was really dry. However the food was delicious!!!!!! Totally recommend!!!! Staff where super nice!

I use to order from this place over a year ago and the food was great. The past two weeks I order ribs and chicken twice and they were undercooked, both on the raw side.

The service was not very friendly. But the portions were very generous the ribs were undercooked and way too salty. But the pulled pork, brisket and sides were amazing. Prices are reasonable for the portion of food you are getting.

Recently had Boneheads catered for my wedding, to say it was a hit is an understatement. People were messaging me a few days later to ask where our food was from. (:
The folks who delivered and set up the food were very professional, they came and went in a jiffy. My step mom had asked about allergens and they were able to give her all the details.
The beans and the Brisket deserve special callouts as they were the two items everyone was raving about. My only regret is not getting the cornbread! Which I know would be delicious 😋
Would totally recommend!

Server was amazing, had no problem recommending and highlighting what she really enjoys. So we ordered a few things that she highlighted and wow wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Spent just over $30 for 3 meats (incredibly small servings) & 2 sides, only thing that was hot was the Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese didn't even taste like anything, paid an extra $1 for brisket which was not only at most lukewarm but super dry (had to chase with beer), the thin ribs were so dry and the chicken was a little I mean little juicy (compared to the others, didn't take much) but no smoke note and the skin wasn't even crispy. The only thing that truly looked like it had a smoke ring was the brisket. The fries were anything but crispy, they were cold and soggy. It honestly felt like I was served food that was maybe 2-3 days old. Not a place that I'd recommend

Staff were really good, I walked in and placed my order and was out of there in under 10 minutes. The fries were excellent however with all the reviews I was a little disappointed by the ribs. I found them pretty flavourful however they were definitely on the dry side.
Maybe it was an off night but for a BBQ place I really expected a bit better.
Brisket was dry and hard to eat way overcooked, ribs were mediocre felt like they were put in a microwave. those plus 2 sides and a drink for 30$ is a waste of time

I’m truly broken hearted to be writing this review. I’m not someone who ever writes reviews but I just had to with this one - boneheads has been my go to “treat yourself” meal since I moved to Halifax more than 10 years ago. Now I won’t be coming back. The food has completely taken a dive, while the prices have remained. I JUST had a baby so of course I wanted to treat myself and my husband to our favourite BBQ (and in our opinion what WAS the best BBQ in the city) what we received was just sad. All meat was dry and tasteless, the normally incredible cornbread was dry and overcooked and the Mac and cheese just isn’t what it used to be. This is a place I was considering as catering for my wedding, but sadly I wouldn’t even think of it now. They used to have the most amazing variety of BBQ sauce and even that tastes different. I’m so saddened and honestly wish I saved myself the $70 and got fast food instead! I’m someone who’s incredibly loyal to my local places and I feel betrayed by what was once my favourite spot.

The meats in my order, beef brisket, pulled pork and ribs were nicely seasoned, not over sauced or over cooked. The side mac and cheese was very good. I couldn’t finish it all and had it boxed up.
I am visting Halifax and the CS BBQ sticker on the front door caught my eye. I was a judge for CS BBQ in Ottawa many years ago so I had to go in. So should you for some seriously tasty BBQ.
