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.

Overall, the dinner was lovely. The interior is beautiful and gives a great first impression. The food was gorgeous, pricey but you pay not only for food but also ambiance so I absolutely don't mind! However, the only downside was the service. On a quiet day, there is absolutely no reason to put the only two tables right beside each other, it was rather awkward. One situation that left quite a bad taste in my mouth was when the staff argued about an order. It was a genuine mistake - I ordered a lamb bao, and received a lobster one. Completely different but I had the staff argue as the lobster bao is called "Lambay" and tried to tell me I was the one that ordered wrong... Just a mistake however it wasn't handled great. The food was gorgeous, the spiced margarita with the lychee foam one of the best ones I had, but overall experience was a bit tainted and unfortunately I won't be rushing back.
