Consistent great barbecue -- a mix of Texas and Kansas City. Had the large brisket bone short rib (huge) and couldn't get enough. My wife doesn't like barbecue so she had food from the Bistro side of the menu. Great Catfish with grilled vegetables. Casual dining taken to a whole new level. Also, super wine list for this type of restaurant.

Went to Boneyard Bistro with friends because they wanted barbecue and I don't eat meat but the menu had lots of choices for me. My husband and friends ordered a combo meal for 4 that came with all of the different BBQ meats/pork and lots of sides. I ordered the trout. The food came luckily split! I couldn't believe how fast it came. Their feisty looked incredible and judging by what was left, it was delicious. My trout was just OK. It had a citrus taste throughout the fish and all of the vegetables on my plate so it was Ll pretty one note. My drink was awesome though! I think it was called the smoke and salt. It was like a margarita made with mezcal. It was soooo strong and once I got used to that, I loved it! Our waiter Walter was awesome too. Very friendly and efficient as was all of the help there that night.

I will be dreaming about those beef ribs until I'm able to visit Voneyard Bistro again. I've never liked beef ribs but on a strong recommendation from a friend, I ordered a small plate. Two bites in and we knew that one plate wasn't going to do it - and we immediately ordered a second large plate before the waiter even left the table. Absolutely ridiculously good. I mean, they shouldn't be legal. Pork ribs were good, too. Actually, very good. But I don't think I'll ever get over those beef ribs. Plus, best cole slaw I've ever had, hands down.

The meat was cooked properly but was so salty it was hard to eat. They had no pork ribs of any kind at 7 on a Sunday- they told us they would be ready in 20mins- 20mins later we were told it would be another hour and a half. Service was bad but it wasn’t the servers fault as it appeared she was the only one working the bar

We love Boneyard Bistro. They offer organic grass fed beef ribs - which is awesome. We do wish that they had more grass fed/grass finished beef options on their menu. Baked beans and coleslaw are some of the best we have ever tasted. Service is always great!

I was extremely disappointed with our meal on Sunday. Boneyard Bistro has always been one of my favorite go-to places. I admit it's been awhile since I've been there, so it was particularly disappointing to see the quality of the food was not what it used to be. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was very dry as was the bread with a just a smear of dressing. I

Fantastic selection of whiskeys/bourbons and draft beers. They now have a vegan option, which was delicious. Husband loved his brisket. Our server, Brian, was extremely helpful in assisting us in finding bourbons and beers for flights; great lunch experience all the way around at one of our favorite restaurants.

We have been here in the past and enjoyed it. Recently it has mostly been at the bar for apps. This trip was so disappointing. The entrees went from inedible at the worst to mediocre at best. We ended up sending the shrimp and grits back because the grits were lumpy and tasteless and the shrimp had an odd odor. We ordered the Prime Rib Melt as a replacement. It was soggy and unappetizing. The fries were very underdone but we didn't want to send them back after we just sent back the other meal. My father, who eats just about anything, was entirely underwhelmed by the dry smoked brisket - which had neither a smoke ring or smoke flavor. My duck confit was at least edible but not particularly enjoyable as it too was dry - it is really hard to dry out duck to the level this was with all the fat inherent in it. In the end the only beings happy we went there were our dogs that got the brisket and the prime rib added to their bowls. Sadly it is close to our house but we can't imagine going back.

Chef owner who cares about food. Best wine list I have ever seen for a good barbeque joint. That said, the non-barbeque items, even the salads, were first rate. Oh, and half price bottles of wine on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I will be back, for sure!

I ordered the Barbecue Chicken (breast and wing) and Brisket combination; the breast was relatively small and dry, and the few strips of brisket were also dry. Additionally, I ordered collard greens as the side; and, though the waiter assured me they would not be spicy, they were, and I couldn’t eat them. Overall, this $24 meal was poor.

I've been here before and it was good enough that we came this last visit. Service was decent, but 3 of 4 got waters which never were refilled. My soda was refilled twice tho. My baby back ribs were super dry; previously they were fine, but they were just incredibly dry. My mom's salad also lacked dressing. My fiancee's St Louis ribs were great & moist at least. We would have gotten dessert, but by this point we just wanted to go. Sadly, I won't be back.
