Boneheads BBQ — Restaurant in Halifax

Updated review, Originally my first order from here was a bad experience, however I ordered again. and the food was actually really good! The ribs are flavorful with very little fat you chew on, while staying soft to eat. You could literally eat them with a spoon if you wanted to. I don't care for the pork sandwich as much as I did, it's not bad nor is it Lick the bones best. The gravy still stands as my favourite thing from here. It's filled with flavor as it is created using the drippings from the smoker. Very delicious. The tator tots as a side are very scrumptious, better than their fries imo. Crispy exterior, fluffy interior, seasoned, etc. I've tried their fries a couple times and they do not compare to tots. I did not re-order the brisket though. would be 5 stars however my first experience with them is still in my mind.

TL;DR a much better experience with very well seasoned and flavoured food.

I left this old review up because

This review is 100% literal with no exaggeration. with $75 + delivery fees I bought ribs, brisket, sausage sandwich, and pulled pork poutine. The ribs where where literally hard to eat, I had literally trouble tearing the ribs apart from each other from how dry it was. The brisket had no juice, seasonings, or flavor, The sandwich was delicious, although very dry, making it hard to swallow.

The only good thing from my order was the poutine which might be the best in all of Halifax. I have ordered from basically every place that sells poutine in Halifax and this is in the top 2 of my favorite poutines. The gravy is phenomenal, the pulled pork (add on) was the best meat from my order, and the fries where good. TL;DR poutine is their...

I've been a huge fan of boneheads since my buddy introduced me and when the fairview location opened well lets just say that it was game on boys and girls. Unfortunately due to circumstances this location had closed and ill tell you hand to the rib gods this was the best ribs and sandwich place i have had the pleasure of eating at and ordering out. On mar.5/2014 my buddy and i were trying to decide where to eat and low an behold we decided boneheads on barrington, i ordered the wings as an app and of course top notch!! We both decided we would make it a rib night and we both ordered the half slab with dirty rice i had mac and cheese he had beans, I was prepared for the party in my mouth i was ready to enjoy when i took a bite of my rice RAW!!!! i said well that happens no biggie so i took a bite of mac an cheese BOMB!!! An then the ribs.... If there is one way to describe it i would have needed a chainsaw and a pitchfork to get into them i asked my buddy how his were as his plastic knife snapped of in his ribs as i was looking over. I proceeded to let the gentleman behind the counter know that my buddy and i had a problem with our ribs and that they were extremely tough the answer i got was " its our new kind of rib and so there always gonna be a little tough". WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!!! Anyway you folks get the jist of what i am saying i spent $33 on myself and enjoyed mac and cheese and wings you do the math. Oh an just so were clear i was a waiter for 15 years and from my knowledge of the industry never send a guest away disappointed well boneheads my barrington experience was an epic fail. I will not be...

Unbelievable food! Best BBQ in town!

My Dad has an eating disability, where he cannot swallow food/eat through his oral passageway, he has a tube called a G-tube that he must use to pump puréed food into his stomach for nutrition. This is a result of having throat cancer, and going through many rounds of radiation treatments on his neck. He is now cancer free, but he is left with this disability, that affects his life in many ways. Before he got sick, and even as myself and my brother got older, he looked forward to taking us out to eat for our birthdays. Since then, he has been a bit embarrassed to eat out, given the fact that his food must be puréed and he didn’t want to ask too much of restaurants we would eat at. Our visit to Boneheads last week was the first time that we have gone out to eat as a family since he was diagnosed with his eating disability around 4 years ago. The Chef at boneheads and the rest of the staff did not know his/our circumstances, or anything about his disability, but did not hesitate to do everything and anything in their power to accommodate my Dad. Myself and my girlfriend come to eat here for special occasions because the food is so dam good, but I did not expect the level of service and care they provided, without thinking twice about it. I cannot recommend Boneheads BBQ enough. Great food, great people. I will be coming back for years to...
