My husband and I truly enjoyed our experience at Smokey Bones in Mentor! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly, and even though the restaurant wasn’t busy at the time, the service was outstanding. Our server, Denzel, was incredibly receptive, answered all of our questions, and ensured that our food and drinks were delivered promptly. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly—hot, flavorful, and exactly as requested. We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

We used to visit Smokey Bones frequently years ago and stopped around covid as the quality of the food went down significantly. However, they have made an amazing comeback as we decided to give it another chance! The limited-time Mahi dish was amazing and the steak was delicious as well. Both meats were cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. Needless to say, we will once again be frequent customers of Smokey Bones as we were impressed with the quality and taste of the food as a whole.

My mother treated me and My Husband to a lunch date after work it was our very first time and I enjoyed my time. Our server was Deanna , and she was breathtaking. she made it feel just like home. She was very friendly, outgoing, and She made sure the food was cooked just the way I liked it. She greeted us with a warm welcome and politely answer all of our questions when it came to the menu, I definitely will be back next time ,

Never been here before. I occasionally work in the area and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. Got the grilled cheese with pulled pork. The flavor combinations were delicious. Meat wasn't dry, it was loaded with plenty of sauce which is good. Definitely curious to come back and try other menu items.

Denzel was the best server in any restaurant that I have had in a long time. His attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was outstanding. The food was absolutely wonderful as it always is when we visit here! Must go to place for wings, burnt ends, and chili. You will not be disappointed!

My family and I arrived shortly after they opened and Denzel greeted us. He was the only wait staff on Sunday morning,but kept a smile and our drinks refilled. I'm glad he helped my family and I have an enjoyable first visit experience. The food is actually good! Those nachos are top tier! We will be back!
