Bonefire Smokehouse Bbq - Abingdon

Great place and music. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly. Especially liked the fried pickles.

When I walked in the temperature was on the warm side and a little muggy feeling. Ascetically this place has a rustic wooden charm for sure but there is also insulation coming out of the walls and a Christmas tree up in august that just looks bad. I was met with great friendliness by my waitress which was honestly a major saving grace, (I didn't catch her name but she had a tattoo of Satan on her shoulder) I ordered the smoked wings and was told 15 minutes later that they only had 9 of the 12 wings I ordered and that I'd still pay full price but I could get one of their sides to compensate for the 3 missing wings. I appreciate the accommodating nature of trying to fix the situation but how annoying.. I don't want your famous corn fritters dude.. So while I was waiting on my food, the muggy/humid temperatures began to take their toll, I began feeling sticky; flies started to buzz around my ankles and annoy me into a very combustible rage. They don't give you fountain drinks here either, they sell plastic bottle soft drinks so you have to pay for every refill. So it's not like I can just slam ice cold Diet Coke after ice cold Diet Coke at an attempt to cool off my internal body temperature. YIKES. The employees were very warm and hospitable so I give them credit there. But over all I'd say 2 and 1/2 stars. Out of respect for my satanic waitress I'll bump it to a 3!

My wife and I stayed in Abingdon as a half way stop to WV and had read reviews about this place and decided to try it out. Well, they were out of brisket and pork loin and collard greens, and Even straws! My wife's fried green tomato BLT was very good and she was pleased. I tried a pulled pork and had to substitute sausage for the pork loin. The sausage tasted like kielbasa from a store and the pulled pork had no flavor. The mac and cheese was bland and the baked beans were just OK. The hot sauce served with the meal made the difference and changed the beans to good and added flavor to the sandwich. The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the food and the beer. She made the meal enjoyable. I do question the hygiene in a kitchen that allows a dog to roam around though.

My wife and I and others recently ate at Bone Fire based on reviews we 'd read. We were disappointed. First, the good news: the servers were very good, and helpful. The rest is that the food was only average. We 've eaten at a lot of bbq places, from Virginia to Florida, and the food at Bon Fire was mediocre. My wife had the ribs, and they were overcooked and dry, though they did have flavor. I had the pulled pork platter, with cornbread, collards, and broccoli salad, which was good, though a bit sweet. The collards were fine, and the pork was too, but they do not compare to, say, Mission BBQ in Charlottesville or The BBQ Exchange in Gordonsville, VA. One other thing. My wife and I ordered pints of beer, There was no beer menu with prices. We ordered pints of Narragansetts, and then a second round. There was not a single good pour on the four beers we received. Only with the tab did we learn that each pint was $7. For Narragansett, which can be purchased at Wegmans or Kroger for about $6 a six-pack of 16 oz. cans. By contrast, in Charlottesville recently, I got a 16-ounce Dos Equis Amber for $5 at Torchy 's Tacos. Perhaps the beer pricing was to help pay for the band that was there, that, as we were exiting the restaurant, was butchering Marshall Tucker 's 'Can 't You See. ' What we saw was very average food, high beer prices, a not-so-hot band, but some really good servers.

Ordered a half rack of ribs; with two sides, collard greens and Mac n cheese. The meal comes with a slice of cornbread. We were there on a Monday- which sometimes matters in the restaurant world. Service was phenomenal, everyone was very personable and helpful with menu questions. Food was mediocre, at best. The ribs were over-cooked, flavorful but dry. The collards have a somewhat sweet after taste, and we’re cooked to perfection. The Mac n cheese was pathetic, not creamy not cheesy not worth the calories. Cornbread was dry and crumbly. None of my food was ‘hot’ upon arrival. Charging $7 for Narragansett, not pouring to the top… it was cold though. Our party was told that depending… green beans were fresh or from the can. When we were there they were from a can. I didn’t experience the 4 star rating that others mentioned, so inconsistent in producing a solid outcome. Based on this, I wouldn’t recommend it…. If only it tasted as well as it photographed!
