Reviews

This was our first time getting food from here.
We ordered takeout.
The food was ready very quickly, the service at the counter was exceptional, and everything was prepared correctly.
It also looked like a pretty neat place for a meal.
Unfortunately, the food could have been better.
Well nothing particular was wrong, it just wasn't remarkable.
The macaroni and cheese was pretty bad.
I would not turn down a gift card to them, and I don't know I would make it a point to go back.

We hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations next time.

Purchased the large family meal for almost $90. It was 1/4 chicken short, family size sides were pints, French fries barely covered the bottom of the container.
I’m assuming it was a full pound of turkey and brisket.
And there were eight pieces of toast.
Just disappointing to spend that much for what seems to be so little.
Honestly, the food is really good but way too much for what we got.

The brick oven from BONO'S overcame me, all the way from across the parking lot, at Office Depot, and drew me to this place! I was not even hungry and never, in thirty years, have I stopped for bar-b-que, I much more prefer Mexican. Anyway, the smell was killer, I stopped in, to check this amazing place out. Immediately, the thick smoked smell in the atmosphere, the giant brick oven with big burnt walls and big chunks of meat, some still stewing, some being strewn around and chopped by the "Pit Boss", not just any Pit Boss, but by Geoffrey Pit Boss "Fry Daddy", a local Icon. I watched this crew in action and their relationship with the locals, pretty good stuff, and everybody seemed to get pretty well stuffed. I had three ribs, baked beans and slaw, all excellent.
Next time I will go for the brisket, outer cut...maybe?? You guys have to check this place out and let Fry Daddy know that Captain Timbo, from Jacksonville sent you over for the Special.
