Reviews for Smokey Bones Lansing in Grand Rapids, MI
McKenzie was awesome! He knew the exact drink I needed to have when he sat us down and was an enjoyable waiter. He made our very... first time super awesome! The food was incredible and we are coming back with our friends! Thank you McKenzie!!! To the onethat makes the banana pudding ... It could use more bananas and cookies Read more
The food was average, the price was above average. Took about 10 minutes before the server came to talk to us but he was very... nice and professional (it was not a busy day from the inside but not sure if he was doing other jobs so I took the long waittime into consideration of that) the food it self took about 47 minutes (yes I timed it because I was on lunch break from worklol) so overal I say this place is a 3 the food can be better for the price or at least more portions (what they call twoportions was just one for me and I’m only 120 pounds) the alcohol was great :) and the server was handsome so 3 stars for thatlol Read more

After 3 hours I stumbled apon this place during our travels. Let me tell you what this place was incredible. Damn good bbq and... good drink selection. My favorite is the pretzel bones with beer cheese. We had pulled pork and my wife the mushroom Swissburger. We left with full bellies and happy faces. Come check this place out Read more
1st time here last Sat night. Bout a 45 min wait in the small lobby area so thought it might be busy...to my surprise half the... bar was empty and there were 4 or 5 tables completely open when we got seated????.Ordered a corona and good ol fashion rootbeeranother was a blue drink(cannot remember name)...drinks were cold and on point. Ordered pulled pork and chicken(both came to uswatery and cold),roasted corn, potato wedges(soft in middle and crispy outside????)bbq baked beans were good but the bowl it wasin was cracked down the side. And the jalapeno sausage was def a winner. But when the plate comes out hotter then the food thatson it..lil bit of a concern. Waited for over an hour for all of this....was explained that kitchen had been running out of foodand some staff had called in..????..kinda a disappointing first impression. Was comped the meal and one of the drinks ..stillpaid close to 40 for everything...bartenders.servers kali and casey ultimately saved the night with customer service skills andreally the only reason we will be returning to try this place again and give a second chance at redeeming????????.....hopefullymy next updated review will have a better version!

This review is based on two different visits. The first visit was just for the appetizer (Nachos) which were pretty good. I... think they might have been half off since we stopped in after 9:00 PM. I think that it might be a normal thing to have 1/2 offafter 9 like Applebees. I would get them again, especially when they are half off. The waitress our first time was nice andhelpful as we advised it was our first time. She guided us to the specials and their norms. The latest visit was the pit for 4and it has a lot of meat (Chicken, sausage, steak, wings) and potato wedges, some onions, and two peppers. The pit for 4 wasjust a bit over $60 so it’s on the pricier side but does give you more meat than you think. When it first arrived, we thoughtthis is not going to be enough but surprisingly everyone was content. I was a bit on the over full side as I finished up thelast potato wedge and steak slice. I am not sure I would get it again for the price. If you do want a lot of meat and avariety, then it might be a good option. Especially if price is not an issue. You can also add sides for $2.99 per side. Thesides are your typical portion size for a single person. I would recommend adding some sides to add to all the meat. The placewas pretty full and lively. It was a nice atmosphere which I could see getting fun with the right people. The staff was veryfriendly and our waitress was very patient with us as we were trying to decide for some time. Great service can really make orbreak a place and they have not disappointed us so far. Read more
Easy to get to by using the light at Patterson Avenue and coming through the back parking lot. Casual atmosphere, friendly... knowledgeable staff, and great service considering the labor shortage. Boneless wings were juicy and tender, the Sweet glazesauce was just right. Texas brisket was also tender and juicy even while having no pink to it. I paired it with a side ofVolcano sauce for extra kick. Sweet tea was perfect for me, southerners would need more sugar, northern folk can order it withless. Filet mignon served well has no pink to it, but was still juicy, so order accordingly. Boneless posted around are greatfun. Read more
