Our story so far... After much research throughout the States, Smokin Bones had its first outing in Herbert Park in 2014. Barbecue has grown to be a way of life for the Smokin Bones team and is much more than smoky meats and juicy flavours. Barbecue is about friends gathering together and sharing good food in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. That’s what we aim to achieve in our locations, from the head chef to your server on the floor. Thanks for your custom and we hope you enjoy your visit. Smokin Bones is 100% Irish owned and apart from visiting any of our locations you can now enjoy our great smoked flavours at home. Order online for home delivery or visit our online shop and order our unique ‘BBQ in a Box’. Barbecue at home could not be easier.

Service and atmosphere were amazing, food was good, but the food was served on cold trays/plates hence it went cold very quickly!

I was reluctant to book here, but I'm genuinely blown away by the quality of BBQ food on offer and for the value as well! Great food, service and atmosphere.

Hi we where seated at Table 1, took ages for our order to be taken the waitress appeared distracted and disinterested in taken our order, we waited ages for food to come while waiting I could see our food ready to be served to use but was left in pass getting cold while one staff did a take away order another cleared table and another was awol. The food sat and sat and when it came it was cold as we were going to the olimpa for a concert we could not afford to return the food. We had to eat and go as took an hour from seating to eating. Wasn’t able to give feedback at time as we weren’t asked and only 3 interactions with Staff order food and pay. It killed me not to leave a tip as the food honestly would have being perfect if it was hot but service staff let down the kitchen this time for us. Not sure if we go back but willing to try again as like I said if food was hot it be delicious

Myself and my partner came here for dinner when visiting Dublin for a night, we had a voucher from Groupon so weren’t expecting much in terms of food, we couldn’t believe the food we received, really good size portions, we were absolutely stuffed, I got pork belly, and I know that it usually a fatty piece of meat but because of the portion size there was still plenty of meat. The Mac and cheese was good too. The service was pleasant. Overall I would return to this restaurant especially because of the value for money aspect. My only complaint is the restaurant was really really cold so I felt we couldn’t actually get comfortable as had to keep scarves etc on.

We ordered and I asked for just BBQ sauce on my pulled brisket Burger but it came fully dressed so that was the only issue I had with the food order, Its a great place staff very pleasent but the background music is a little too high for a small place . Value for money ? Id say yes as they offer a starter nacho so its a small portion enough to enjoy if ordering a main Etc.. we will return.
