Smokey Bones BBQ Grill - Albany

My wife and I tried this place out and had an absolutely horrible experience. Placed an online order and selected option to pay when we arrive. When we got there we were told our order was $45 more than it actually was. Then we waited for our food and it came out 30mins after the promised pickup time. When the food finally came out, ALL of it was cold and we were missing sides. I would be embarrassed to be associated with this business in any other fashion than I ate there once... it was really bad.

Ordered my meal online paid 5 dollars extra for brisket and when I received my food it was disgusting. It was like the food had been sitting under a heat lamp all day. No flavor from the Mac and cheese and the most disappointing thing was my brisket it looked like five pieces of fatty scrap you would feed to your dog. No slices just bits of fat with little to no meat. I would be ashamed to serve this kind of food to customers.

Decent place for standard food. Nothing too special except that it's open late when many of the places are closed. Plenty of seating and bar is good. Food is average. I have just been there once. Tried their wings, burger and kids chicken tenders. Burger was not that juicy. Wings seemed to be fried and not that hot.

Burger was undercooked and greasy, to the Point that the bottom bun was saturated! Obviously sat under a heat lamp and an obviously frozen burger. Two burgers two drinks and an order of fried pickles bill came out to 75$! Highway robbery for sub par food and terrible service. This place has gone down hill!

I am so surprised to see such a low star rating for this restaurant something must have happened over time because this place is 100% Just fab. Hostess was blah and not very friendly just seemed like she didn't like her job. Ended up sitting the bar and our bartender/ waitress was absolutely amazing. She was funny, patient, chill and over all great. My friend has a Stella and I have two mixed drinks. TITO'S STRAWBERRY LEMONADE and the pink strawberry swizzle. we had the Korean KOREAN PORK BELLY POPS they were amazing juicy delicious a little spicy but not bad. I am a big wimp when it comes to anything spicy and I could tolerate it so I was excited. I got the mac and cheese with a side of brisket and my friend had the steak salad amazing amazing amazing amazing amazing. My friend wasn't feeling so we decided to eat the appetizer in the house and everything else with boxed up and we brought it home. Now we also got the donuts which I was a little nervous about since we had to bag him up and take them to go however they were amazing great they lasted great tasted wonderful and I would definitely definitely come back to this please warn her because of the bar server she was amazing I wish I could remember her name I know she did with us I'm just super bad with names. The only thing that did stand me off a little bit was the hostess at the front and the night before my husband and I wanted to come eat here but they had already closed and we had a bad experience with the hostess then to and weren't going to come back but I'm so glad I decided to I will definitely be coming back
