Simone is the BEST!!! We knew we were going to have a great night when we saw her. She gave great recommendations to change up our regular orders. She's just so down to earth and caring and will go the extra mile to give amazing service. Tried the house salad with a mix of ranch and balsamic dress per her recommendation. So good! Also got 6 smoked Cajun dry rub wings cooked to perfection. They are a good size wing and very filling. Great food, great service as always!

Really good smokehouse in Johnson City. I had the BBQ platter with fries and baked beans. He had the brisket grilled cheese with fries and a 6 piece order of chicken wings. Our server took awesome care of us and made sure everything was full and hot.

This is our first time here. Wow amazing is all I can say. Taylor was our waitress and she is outstanding. She provided great service removed empty plates and kept drinks refilled. It truly was a great experience she also told us about weekly bogo deals. Trust and believe I will be visiting again.

I have been in the “Bones Club” (Smokey bones loyalty program) for over a decade now. The wings are so consistent! I have to do takeout a lot more than dine in because of family schedule. Emma has been the best of an incredible team throughout the years. She knows my order by heart and if I change it up any she makes sure I’m saying it right because “that’s not what you normally get” haha! I’m grateful for people like her who go the extra mile and make you feel like they are truly glad to talk with you and see you as opposed to just hoping their shift ends and you are another person they just “have” to take care of to get paid. 5 stars for Emma and 5 stars for the kitchen team who always put out wings my kids and myself love!

Very nice. No wait for a table. Our server was very friendly though I hear another that was not as much. Food was wonderful and hot. I wanted a substitution, my server said I could and then came back to tell me they couldn't and was very apologetic. I said it was fine but when she came back with my food she said they made it work.
