We were a little disappointed with Mr Bones. I love ribs and had read good reviews but the food was just average. It does have quite a fun and pleasant ambiance and the staff were certainly friendly enough with good service. more

...friendly staff - most tender ribs we've every had - cole slaw wasn't as good as others had said - it was a bit sour. The beans were good altho too sweet for my taste. We had ordered the BBq'd baby back ribs, Spicy ribs and regular bbq ribs and they were all equally tender and tasty. Large portions. For... more

Have ate here a few times and the food is really delicious. Found the staff to be very matter of fact bordering on the unfriendly. They do the job well enough but seems like they would rather be doing something else! It's a quirky wee place and worth a visit even just for the novelty of picking a bottle of... more

We recently went there and although the food was ok, I thought the prices were high. We had 4 in our party and the bill was over $70.00. Don't think I would go back again. more

We went to Mr. Bones based on other people's reviews. We love BBQ, where ever we are! The building is a dump! The prices should have been lower. probably would have been a better experience if they did not pretend that their restaurant was the greatest BBQ in the world. Iced Tea only comes un-sweet. Not enough sauce on the... more

We ate lunch here and loved the unusual decor and "beer from the coffin" The staff were lovely and friendly and made us very welcome. Food was good with hearty portions but I had expected it to be a little spicier being New Orleans style. I would have liked fries for a side as well instead of just coleslaw and... more

I visited this establishment approximately a year ago (June 08). Their pulled pork sandwich was out-of-this-world! The portion was hearty...the bread toasted and the pork was to die for. However upon a recent visit (May 09) it was clear to tell this establishments food has gone down hill. We purchased the bbq pork and chicken sandwiches and to our dismay... more

The atmosphere wasn't bad, but the food was terrible. Who decided that fried rice should accompany BBQ. The BBQ was overcooked and the only thing I had that was worth mentioning was the baked beans. Not worth $50 for 2 people! more
