About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
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.

    Amazing food. Friendly service. Booked a table for 8 and was all squeezed on to a table for 6 - which was uncomfortable and because the plates are so big the table was really over congested. Music was really loud and don’t think it would be to everyone’s taste. But the food was really good. Was def come back

    We have been there several times in the last 2 weeks. Our waiter Marko was great. Very fast, friendly and always good 👍 Keep up the good work. P.s. You should also open a branch in Constance in Germany. That would be great

    I had the spare ribs with onion rings & sweet potato fries with a bbq sauce & it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had the pork belly with fries & onion rings with the whisky sauce & it was to die for, amazing!! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back for more.

    hello We had a lovely first experience with you at Temple Bar. Unfortunatley we were a bit squeezed in as there ended up being 7 of us. I dont think you had any larger tables to accomodate? But apart from that, it was really tasty and we would return for sure.
