Smokey Bones American BBQ in Albany, NY

#HighlyRecommendLocalFood Smokey Bones is an American chain restaurant founded in 1999, famous for its smoked and grilled meat dishes. 🍖🔥 The bar offers a wide selection of spirits, and the restaurant is packed with fun activities like pool, darts, cornhole, and board games — perfect for group gatherings! 🎯🎲 We visited during late-night hours when it wasn’t too crowded. The $8 beer flight with four entry-level brews was fun and beginner-friendly, though craft beer enthusiasts might find it basic. 🍻 We ordered the BoneFire Feast, which unfortunately didn’t include charcoal-grilled peppers or onions (the server said they were sold out 😕). Still, the platter came with ribs, beef, wings, sausages, chicken breast, and potato wedges — a decent variety! The flavor was solid American BBQ… nothing mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable. 👍 Service was friendly when ordering, but pretty much disappeared after the food arrived. Also, the suggested tip on the bill was calculated after tax. 💸 #AlbanyEats #AlbanyNY #AlbanyFood #UpstateNY #AlbanyRestaurants #NYSurroundings #WeekendInNY #WhereToEatInNY #UAlbany #WilliamsCollege #RensselaerPolytechnic #AlbanyChineseFood #NYFoodExploration #NYDiningGuide #FoodieFinder
