smokin bones bbq

i have been to a lot of bbq places, but this one has ruined all other bbq for me. smokin bones is the kind of place that has a line out the door, and tells you the bbq is awesome. everything is fresh and super tasty i really would wait a couple hours for their ribs. the coleslaw is insane best vinegar based slaw i have ever had. my wife is vegetarian and they have stuff that he will eat like pizza and corn bread. i highly recommend this place. oh and the staff and owner are great super nice and friendly. all around a great place in bountiful.

if manna from heaven were bbq, smokin bones would be the chef. smokin' bones is a literal answer to my prayers. i like to consider myself a bbq guy. my wife is a born and raised midwest native from kansas city(the capital of bbq) and we venture out there still 3-4 a year just for the bbq.... and maybe to see her family also, but that's always a distant second on the list of reasons to vacate back to kc. on the weekends i attempt to smoke my own ribs and brisket, so i am pretty familiar with the nitty gritty of bbq. on top of that we all know bountiful is in need of more restaurants and lunch options, especially bbq. so needless to say i was anticipating the opening of smokin' bones like my 2 year old son anticipates the opening of a bag of starburst candy the second he awakes in the morning.

with that said smokin' bones rivals any place i've eaten in kansas city. i have tried every single item on the menu and every single item is awesome! not just good, but awesome. the only thing i havent tried is the vegetables. and lets be honest, who goes to a bbq joint for vegetables? if you are doing that you really need to look inward at your priorities, lets just throw this out there, if you are going to a bbq place for the veggies the terrorists have won.

the chef, kile, is a bbq genius. you have your standard fare on the menu of pulled pork, brisket, ribs etc, but the thing i love most about this place is the creative menu kile has come up with. prepare to have your mind blown as i describe the delicious delicacy's that have tantalized my taste buds:

brisket navajo tacos- no your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, these babies exist and they exist to please. imagine, if you will, a scone, piled with cheese, bbq beans, brisket and bbq sauce. no this isnt mr rogers neighborhood of make believe its real life ok?. just warn your taste buds before partaking because they will think they have been assaulted...with a round house kick to face of deliciousness.

pulled pork nachos- pork? check. bbq sauce? check. nacho cheese sauce? triple check, the triumvirate of boldness will party in your mouth until you almost lose consciousness.

pork steak burgers- i know what you're thinking, a burger has no place at a bbq joint. if you think that then you sir/ma'am are in cahoots with me because i had the same reservations. until i had the courage to try one. its a burger piled high with pulled pork and bbq sauce. do i need to say anything else? no. but i will. this is the exact thing that sold me on chef kile being this generations david copperfield of the smoker. this restaurant is his canvas and all he has to paint with is bold flavors, moist tender meats and the best bbq sauce you will ever taste.

i swear kile was foreordained in the great councils of heaven to be the bbq chef that catered such an event because his food is certainly fit for the gods. the food is fresh every day. its moist, its tender its tasty its everything you want in a bbq joint. the one down fall of this place, and every place has something that it needs to work on, is kile and family are big byu fans. they have yet come to sup at the table of the pac 12 conference where bcs births and rose bowls abound. but there is still time to jump on the ute bandwagon, and i will for one will welcome them with open arms when they do, as this bandwagon is in dire need of some good bbq. do yourself a flavor(see what i did there?) and go to smokin bones. you will not regret it. unless youre looking for veggies, then as i said, its probably time to punch yourself in the face.

*disclaimer. i am in no way related to chef kile or anyone associated with this restaurant. i am not being paid to write this review. im just a man. a man with needs. bbq needs. and smokin' bones satisfies those needs in a way no one else can. don't judge me.

excellent bbq. this place was amazing. the pulled pork was so moist and just fell apart on your fork. the staff was extremely friendly and courteous. this is by far some of the best bbq.

best bbq i've had!. hands down, thee best bbq i've ever had. i have eaten a lot of bbq too. husband and i both had the 3 meat plate with pulled pork, brisket and ribs. seriously, the ribs were effing amazing. the dry rub on them went perfectly with the bbq sauce! oh and the potatoe salad and corn bread was also perfect! 100% would recommend this place to others!

great food at a reasonable price and fantastic service! a perfect little no-frills bbq joint. don't pass up their delicious pulled pork! my only complaint is i wish they were closer so i could eat there more often.

a friend of mine took me here. the owners came out and were as delightful as the food. i would recommend this place.

over-priced and lackluster at best.. i wish i had something good to say other than the owners are very nice people.sadly i do not.we can literally see smokin bones from my house.we have never seen a puff of smoke or smelled a hint of cooking meat coming from there.

their brisket...which should be served in cut slices is served as an overly wet pulled meat.it taste like grandma's pot roast but even more flavorless.apon looking at it or any of any other of the meats we've had here they don't have a smoke ring....just saying.my family all agrees it all tastes as though it's cooked in the oven/crockpots,with no rubs or seasonings added to it pre-cooking.

we went when they were trying a weekly new item menu one time....navajo tacos...they called them.a giant deep fried utah "scone" a lot of very lackluster canned beans and meager scoop of their soggy...pot roast "brisket" it was insanely over-priced and disappointing...in fact their food as a whole is over-priced and disappointing.

beans from a can,cold pre-made cornbread,and flavorless meat served colder than room temperature.

i really don't know how people rave about this place.maybe they've never had actual barbecue or have the the most easily impressed palates in the world.

judging by the reviews,our family isn't the only one that thinks this way.

a+ for the friendly staff and owners....d- for everything else.

we had 7 eating experiences at or from smokin bones,and all we did each tiime all we did is kick ourselves for wasting so much money only to be disappointed,again.

spare yourself.if you want good or even great,authentic barbecue.....go to slc

very good!!. very good barbecue! as good as texas barbecue. i had potato salad and coleslaw and ribs and i was in heaven. the potato salad is the best i've ever had. pure, simple, not sour or mustardy. perfect. the ribs fall off the bone and are so tender. you must try it.

nestled in the heart of bountiful, this swanky, contemporary bbq craze has won the hearts of many bbq junkies. although it undubitibly has the best ribs in bountiful and incontestably has an irresistible array of sauces, we were a little disappointed with the "bbq" pizzas. the woodfired oven concept is clever, however, the idea of squirting superfluous amounts of bbq sauces and toppling it with processed cheese doesn't help. just a suggestion from a pizza infatuater, how about fresh fire roasted tomatoes (brings out the juices), fresh low calorie, high moisture bull mozzarella toppled with basil, oregano, freshly cracked pepper and red pepper flakes. overall great barbecue nice location and great staff. we love the live music. just like a nashville bbq joint.

i was born and raised in texas and am therefore a bbq fanatic. even by texas standards, this place is excellent!

for $11 an entree, the bbq portions are very, very small, and it wasn't that good. plus the options for side items are very limited - they only have beans, cornbread, coleslaw, and chips. don't waste your time. if you want good bbq, go someplace else.

wow!!. if i were to sum this place up in one word, that word would be wow. i met the owner today and they had cooked so much food that they were out of nearly everything. although that's not a bad thing, because it gave me the opportunity to try something new. i have been to this place twice and have never been disappointed. this place does not have a huge menu but everything and i repeat everything is absolutely amazing. they have perfected the art of smoking. tonight i tried the sausage and the pizza with pulled pork as the topping then had them drizzle there bbq sauce on top. i can honestly say i have never had that great of a pizza before, and out of all people who know good pizza, i would be the judge without doubt. all the smoke meats are also amazing i tried the three meat treat last time which is great for sampling the different options they offer, make sure you try all their sauces. the food is always press the owner is super friendly and i was able to chat with them quite a bit. the staff is also extremely friendly and very accommodating.

this place is amazing. it's basically a hole in the wall but it is absolutely amazing and many people in bountiful know where it is. i'm from ogden and i work in bountiful so i was looking up a place to cater about 6 meals for the guys at my work and i found such wonderful reviews on urbanspoon, i could not resist. we got the steak burger, house salad, coleslaw, baked beans, cornbread and pulled pork. everything was cooked to perfection and to everyone's complete satisfaction. the coleslaw was not runny and milky, it was vinegar based and just the way my ma makes it, if not better! the bbq sauce was sweet and tangy and the meat was juicy and cooked to perfection. i am from over 45 minutes away and will absolutely be traveling back with the rest of my family to enjoy this best done bbq place i've ever had. oh did i even mention the wonderful staff? i got takeout, and i forgot the chips i ordered. not only did they call me to leave a message, when i went back to get the chips they made sure everything was to our satisfaction.

i thought i didn't care about bbq . . .. i thought i didn't care about bbq, but after tasting smokin' bones bbq i can't stop thinking about it! it's fantastic! i've tried the ribs, brisket, chicken wings, bbq pizza, steak burger, cornbread, slaw, beans, and a few other things and they are all fantastic. after you talk with the owners for a minute or two you will be absolutely confident that they know what they are doing and cherish bbq like it's a fine art! they use quality never frozen meat and are very picky about their wood, and you can definitely taste the difference.

i'll be back again, and again, and again. as far as i'm concerned, theirs is the only real bbq i've ever had!
