Awful service

Contributor at Insider Pages

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant and we left very disatisfied with the service. First, the waiter forgot our silverware, then, my salad and my salad dressing. He couldn't remember what we ordered to drink and then, he never came back to check on us. I asked the other waitress if it was his first day on the job and she laughed and said no-he had worked there for a while. So my question is do they do any training of the servers at Smokey Bones?

waitress'

by earl odom at Citysearch

how we were seated , the uncareing attitude we were treated by the waitress .we ask for a place to sit that I could see the TV that had the base ball game on, since the TV's are messed up and they could not change the channels , the promble was she didn't want to put the waitress out by stepping 2 steps to serve us, we were to sit where she wanted us . I would not have been up set was the place full, but there was lots of tables open, so if you are ever in the JOHNSON CITY area an visit Smoky Bones ask that the manager seats you , you might get a TV that work,,GOOD LUCK......Earl ODOM

Toledo BBQ

by kolaman80 at Citysearch

While in Toledo, and being from KC, I had a taste for some BBQ; so I thought I would give this place a try. I did ask and Smokey Bones is a restraint chain. However all things considered the BBQ was not bad at all. Their ribs were St. Louis style and not too bad, the pulled pork was moist and had a light smokey flavor. The sausage was smoked, but it really tasted like polish sausage, good, but nothing special as far as the BBQ sausage category. I also tried the baked bean, they were ok, but were missing the special touch that the individualized BBQ places seem to add. The sauce was sweet, but did have a very strong vinegar overtone. All in all not too bad, not the best, but my no means the worst BBQ I have ever had, not a bad place for a quick BBQ fix while on the road.

• Pros: Nice area, close to hotels and interstate, not bad for a chain
