“great ribs and sauce. definitely would recommend and will be coming back. thank you“

“The service was amazing, the people are friendly. We went there because we are from Texas and miss bbq, and the brisket, chicken, links are exactly like we get back home! The prices are more than fair, and the service from Cynthia and Deante really make the experience wonderful I think it’s.“

“I’ve been excitedly waiting for this location to open since I work right down the road. Stopped by for lunch today and ordered my usual- half slab of ribs, fries and green beans. Plus a couple bottles of my favorite sauce of all time, Sweet City. Delicious as always. The ribs seemed even meatier than I’m used to at the other locations I frequent. Lemonade was great too.“

“If you do not give this place a try you have missed something special.“

“A diamond in the rough. The current operators are 2nd generation. Food is good and service quality is what you would expect for a small family restaurant“

“the Brisket sandwich is my fave. ribs are also very good“

“I went to the Marion location. First time stopping in. I got the Brisket platter and two rib platters. I got them to go. The Brisket had great flavor, it was a little drier than I like my brisket but the flavor was there. The ribs were on point, tender juicy full of flavor. The sides I got were baked beans and Mac and cheese. The baked beans were great smoky flavor and a little bit of sweetness to them. The Mac and cheese perfect with how cheesy it was. Over all great food and friendly staff and you get your moneys worth of food. Keep up the good work“

“Our experience Saturday evening was amazing! The food is outstanding (I loved the smoked chicken tacos & Mac n cheese). The staff is very friendly and conversational. There is a wide variety of drinks/cocktails for everyone. Overall a great time!“

“An amazing restaurant. We had the Hot Pot lunch menu. I highly recommend. A truly surprising find while visiting Ohio. The Szechuan Spicy soup base was delicous. Everything served was flavorful and fresh.“

“We stumbled on it by accident and are happy we did!! It is under new ownership. The guy that took over had previously had a food truck down the road!! The brisket nachos are amazing!! If you love Texas BBQ, it’s the place to be!!“

“WE WERE I N GRIVE CITY SMOKEY BONES AND WE HAD A WAITRESS NAME HAILIE. SHE IS THE THE MOST FRIENDLIEST MOST HELPFUL PERSON . WEVE HAD HER SEVERAL TIMES . SHES AN ASSET TO THE RESTRAUNT . WE LOVE HAVING HER WAIT ON US . SHE GETS 10 STAR REVIEW“

“Driving by stopped in for a quick lunch and food was amazing and employees were nice“

“Been here twice and it looks like a lot of the reviews bringing their score down are from the first week of opening. If you give a restaurant a bad review in their first couple weeks of figuring out the quirks, shame on you!

Food has been solid...ribs are my favorite followed by smoked turkey. Sides have been great as well...bean's with burnt ends and collard greens are my favorite.

Opportunities as always - love to see the wings smoked, not fried. Noise is also something that could be softened.

Overall, super happy to have such a place close by. Congrats to the Hank's team!“

“Enjoy the food and service. Kevin is always friendly and knows how to make you forget abut the stressful day you just had,“

“Why Why Why would you guys get rid of fresh cut fries!! The new fries are not doing it AT ALL! The fresh cut fries are a big reason I come in for a quick lunch. Fries are a significant part of a persons meal. I will significantly reduce the amount of time I come in for lunch. The meats are still good and will continue to purchase for get togethers at home.“

“I am visiting from Boston and just happen to spontaneously tour the Ohio Statehouse. Here, I lunched at HouseTaco which locates inside the Statehouse itself. The food is quick and fresh. Chef Zach prepared the tacos on-site with passion. They were delicious! What a hidden gem!!!“

“Food has always been consistently excellent.“

“She was very helpful and pleasant“

“When we get a craving for some tastes of home, we grab Ohana Island Grill In Columbus to satisfy the cravings.
Mixed plate with kalbi, teriyaki chicken, rice and mac salad hit the spot.
Also grabbed Gyoza, crab rangoon, lumpia, and Hawaiian Sun island juice (passion, lilikoi, and strawberry guava) to round out the taste of home...“

“This was the most diabolically delicious lunch I have had in ages…. I will genuinely crave this and I am sad I don’t live closer…. There was so much flavor in every bite. You HAVE to get the green sauce, it changed my life. The people working in the truck were also super friendly. 10/10, 5 star review. This place deserves some recognition!!!“

“I find it super popular whenever i’ve went. The wait can be a bit long depending on when you go, but it’s definitely worth it. The servers are amazing and super friendly. Fast service as well! the food here is great and it’s amazing for the price! I’ve done both the Bbq and hotpot, and i definitely recommend it! been here twice and will definitely be coming again!“

“Great pizza! Friendly service! I highly recommend the bbq chicken pizza!“

“The food was really really good as were the potion size . I got the bbq bento box and takoyaki. The takoyaki was amazing. It's not on the printed menu, but it is online“

“Nicole, Jonah and Matt are my absolute favorites!!! amazing vibes, great service!! the best dive bar in the brewery district 🙌🏽!! Kitchen open till 1am always a plus 🤌🏽 and if you can catch Tommy he's best gem of the whole place ❤️“

“Delicious food, great service !!!!
I enjoyed the ribeye steak and shrimp. Mashed potatoes and salad with raspberry vinegar dressing.
The dragon fruit margarita was hitting !!!!
My server was courteous and attentive.
The price was right.
Love the Texas theme.“

“I eat here all the time, and every single experience has been amazing. Their food tastes just as good when I take it home! When I order delivery, they always pack the noodles and soup separately, so when I get home, the noodles are still perfectly chewy.Their Dan Dan hand stretch noodle is honestly the best noodle dish I’ve ever had. If you usually order stir-fried noodles, definitely upgrade to the hand pulled noodle— it’s on another level! Their noodles are nothing like the store-bought kind; you can tell they’re hand-pulled from the texture alone, they are so springy.And the soup dumpling are absolutely incredible. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Columbus!“

“I don’t normally leave reviews but, had such a great time at Smokey bones that I have to, and it’s all thanks to my server Kiley, she was very tentative and kind and always made sure we were doing alright, will definitely be coming back to this location because of her, thanks again Kiley!“

“Flavourful and juicy burgers with really crispy and tasty fries. Great owner with a friendly personality. Definitely recommend popping by and giving it a try! The pricing is very competitive too.“

“Our server was a super sweet man with kind eyes and a kind heart who listens to his customers and is funny with a side of sarcasm. Strong in sports talk but lacks diversity when it comes to geopolitical conversation. Needs more world experience and may need improvement on his knowledge of the local area. Always ball ready.

The food is solid too.“

“Our waiter made this service 5 stars easily, young man long hair and a beard and I think glasses. He was extremely polite and determined to make sure everything was perfect even waited for us to cut our steaks to make sure they were perfect. Food was already great. Never had that from a waiter, he made sure we had boxes as our food was coming out as needed, appetizer salad side and main because our table was small. To top it off when he brought us the check he also brought us to go cups filled. Completely unheard of. I tipped him well and thought about it and waited again before I left to give him another tip.“

“I love their bone in ribeye !!! Service is pretty good! Food is good and it’s not going to break the bank like these other steakhouses, always fresh and hot… nothing to complain about ever, we go once a month, me and my daughter always love it so thank you very much.“
