Amazing food and amazing service, one of our favorite restaurants in bowie, wings always come out hot and delicious. Chicken is so tender and full of flavor. Salmon is lemony and delicious as well, came here multiple times and never had any issues with the food or service. Highly recommend the cornbread appetizer. Amazing service from Raheem

We had an amazing experience at Smokey Bones thanks to our incredible server, Travis! From the moment we were seated, he made us feel welcome and taken care of. His energy was upbeat and friendly, and he had just the right balance of professionalism and personality. Travis knew the menu like the back of his hand; he gave great recommendations, answered all our questions, and even helped us customize our orders without missing a beat. Our drinks stayed full, our food came out hot and fast, and he checked in just the right amount. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. Service like that is rare these days, and Travis knocked it out of the park. If you’re heading to Smokey Bones, ask for him; you won’t be disappointed!

Nena was great in checking in with us as we have a rambunctious 2 year old! We got the bonfire for 2 and it was a wonderful sampling of their offerings. As our first meal in Bowie, my husband and I agree it was a success! Food was great, but the service was stellar!

The customer service from Ryan was AWESOME!! it’s hard to find this level of service in the restaurant industry anymore - professional, resourceful, and attentive. My sister asked for some additional items and he brought exactly what she asked for and anticipated what she may need - and of course, it’s what she wanted and hadn’t thought about it. The food was good. The roasted corn was not what I anticipated and a bit burnt but the ribs, burger and (recommended) potatoes wedges were really good! We will be back. Thanks Ryan for a great afternoon after a long day dealing with medical issues - he didn’t know that but his personality lifted spirits! Keep up the great work.

5 Stars Out the Park! Everything down to the introduction the manager gave us when we arrived early for our reservation was wonderful. AJ was our server and she had so much hospitality and wasn't afraid to suggest some great alternatives. The Timing she put forth for all our items from the Starters to the Mains were perfect! The table behind us was giving her the hardest time but she didn't bring that with her to our experience.. I will suggest this place over any other BBQ jaunt out! Thanks AJ and Smokey Bones for really setting my 34th off. Also the Washington Apple Shot and Hazey IPA was another great suggestion..

The staff makes you want to return! I had a blast at my Grandmother’s 90th birthday celebration that was hosted at this location! The two ladies serving us were super accommodating and very friendly! They made the experience so much more enjoyable. The food was delicious! This is not a stuffy staff whatsoever! I wish I knew the names of the ladies who made this event so special. I would 100% return for another good time!!!

From the moment you walk through the door, the aroma of slow-smoked meats hits you like a warm hug. But the real star of the show? The incredible service. Our server was super friendly, knew the menu inside and out, and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. Now, let's talk about the food. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, with a perfect balance of smoky and sweet. The brisket was moist and flavorful, and the pulled pork had a delicious tangy kick. And don't even get me started on the sides! The mac and cheese was creamy and decadent, and the coleslaw was the perfect cool counterpoint to the rich, savory meats. If you're looking for a BBQ experience that's both delicious and welcoming, look no further. This place is a true gem! Ryan and Travis where the best servers.
