Went there for lunch a bit late like around two and the service was amazing. The food was out of this world delicious and the atmosphere was really cool would definitely highly recommend and I would definitely
Barrels & Bones blew us away! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server made great recommendations and made sure we were taken care of the entire time.
Now the food… WOW. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The smoked meats were tender and juicy, and the sides were just as incredible—especially the mac and cheese! You can tell they take pride in what they do here.
This is easily one of our new favorite spots. Great food, awesome vibes, and fantastic service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-quality dining experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!
Great atmosphere with a bunch of TVs
Food is decent, monster wings are huge. Whiskey wednesdays are a great deal, $5/$10 select pours.
First time coming here for me and my wife. On my birthday June 26th I gotta say very good. The food is awesome. The drinks are awesome.Very nice place to eat
Bartender didnt feel like making shots at last call said only beers not shots because he didnt feel like it. Then asked me to bring in my cup from patio because he didnt want to.
came here with my gf to grab some late-night food. The food was ok, but the service was absolutely terrible. The waitress was rude in a weird way, like she didn't want us there. When we received our food, she asked if we wanted to pay then, so we did (and tipped ofc). We never saw her again after that (even though she was still there and serving other people). It was a very strange and unpleasant experience overall. I hate to fault a business over what may have just been a bad waitress, but it made me never want to step inside here again.

Extremely long wait for food! We waited nearly an hour and a half just for food. If you want BBQ, head somewhere else.

Great food and service. I decided to try the turkey melt and it was tasty and not dry. My beer was icy cold as it should be.
Definitely coming back!

I stopped by on Sunday, December 1, around 4:30 PM.
When we walked in, the employees at the bar told us we could sit wherever we wanted. Things started off great. I’ve worked at a neighborhood restaurant/bar with similar vibes, so I get the relaxed service style.
Our server (Latina with curly-ish hair) came over quickly, got us waters, my beer, and took our appetizer order. We got Texas Twinkies, fried green tomatoes, mac and cheese, and truffle fries. After that, she went over to the bar, sat down, and started chatting with what I assume was the MOD.
Everything came out except the truffle fries, which she must’ve forgotten. Once we finished the apps and my beer, we sat at the table for a while, waiting. No one came by to check if the food was okay, refill our waters, or ask if I wanted another beer. We tried to flag someone down, but no one noticed us.
Finally, I got up and approached our server, who was still sitting at the bar. She just looked at me and then back down. Another server (white girl, brunette) said she’d be with us.
We ordered brisket, ribs, burnt ends, and the missing truffle fries. The MOD delivered the food, but the experience went downhill from there.
The brisket was great—soft, juicy, and flavorful. But the pork belly burnt ends were tough and not juicy at all, though they were seasoned well. The ribs were by far the worst. They tasted like they’d been made the day before and just reheated—dry and disappointing.
To make things worse, I’m pretty sure our first server left around 5 PM when the shift changed, but no one told us or mentioned a handoff. The second server also left without saying anything—I saw her grab her jacket, say "bye guys" to the staff, and walk out. At that point, we had no idea who was taking care of us.
After the disappointing meal, I had to get up again, this time to ask the new bartender (white girl, blonde) for a to-go box and the check. I boxed up the food myself, paid out with the MOD, and asked for a military discount, which he graciously gave.
I felt bad only tipping about 10%, but I didn’t even know who our server was for most of the meal. There was no communication, and honestly, the service was almost nonexistent.
Before leaving, I asked the MOD if he had a business card or email for the GM, but he said he didn’t. He asked if everything was okay, but I just said yes and left—I figured this should be handled at a higher level.
I’m not expecting fine dining or fancy service—it’s not that kind of place, and that’s okay. I just wanted someone to check on us, communicate if they had to leave, and hand us off to someone else. And food that isn’t dry.
