The tables are nasty. The finish is gone and they feel super sticky like flypaper.I took a video of the nasty condition and laid the menu on the table, as I peeled up the plastic menu you could you could hear it "click, click, click" when the table released the sticky grip.

Called in an order at 8:40 guy on the phone said we're closing in a few minutes. I said okay. When I got there I paid & sat down. The manager put the food on the counter and I was waiting for 5 minutes without telling me it was mine. Ended up getting 2 pull pork dinners & side of toast for $34. This was the pulled pork- half of the meat was inedible burnt dried pieces of pork. One picture is my meal where I actually pulled out all of the unedible pieces of meat. I'm not sure if they were pissed because it was almost closing time or they just was at the end of the burnt pork & decided to serve it. Either way no thanks Bonos
It’s pretty hard to mess up slow and smoked meats. I say it isn’t hard because Bono’s make it seem effortless. If I could make meat like that I would become a VERY REVERSED VEGETARIAN, I would ONLY eat the meat LOL. But seriously they make the best Turkey, Beef and Chicken! And they’re garlic toast!The staff is always so friendly as well. I just wish they hadn’t canceled the cinnamon butter. That was my go-to there and now it’s just sad to order and mix in “Country Crock”. But that’s not a big deal I guess. I’ve taken to getting the sweet potato home, even if I ate in the restaurant so that I can make my own cinnamon butter. It is a good in between snack and rich in nutrients. But do not microwave it, you kill the nutrients that way. 350 for 15 minutes while you make the butter! Ta-DA!Kid-friendliness: Kids will love it here as they carry many of kids favorite foods on the kids menu!
This is the best Bono’s! I have been eating at this Fruit Cove location for probably 20 years. The staff is always friendly and does a great job. The food is always yummy and fresh. We really love to order curbside from them. It’s always a nice dinner treat!
What an amazing night with this crew! They were the most attentive, caring, and delivered the best dishes tonight! This is, hands down, the best BONOs out there! We will be back frequently!

First time I have been in Bono's Fruit Cove and it felt like real home style restaurant! It was comfortable and the server had a fantastic smile which made ordering a pleasure. I was tired from running errands and I pointed to the brisket sandwich with the fried green tomato an the young took it from there. I will be going back to Fruit Cove again!

The portions have become border line pathetic . I understand cost is high everywhere but even with that being said we got a tiny amount of meat and sides . Also the brisket was like jerky it was so tough . Orders the 3 meat platter large this is a 27$ item so why do I have what looks like scraps left over from the pit ? Bono’s is just not what it used to be this location really disappointed
