First visit today with my son Zak. Very interesting location and inside is rustic and casual and comfortable. Zak had a bowl with Mac and cheese, beans and pulled pork that he devoured. I had a combo plate with Mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, collared greens, brisket and burnt ends. Their portions are generous and I had plenty of leftovers to take home. They have a cooler for drinks and a bar for alcohol. They had wonderful desserts but we were both too full. We will definitely be back again.

By far the best smoked food I’ve ever had. We drove about 50 mins and next time we want smoked food we will go back there. The brisket was so meaty. Mac and cheese was awesome. Loved the corn bread with the maple butter. Almost tasted like dessert. Pulled pork was delicious and loved the bbq sauces

We were looking for a spot to grab a quick bite in the area and were glad to have come across this place. A great find with some of the best BBQ options around. I had one of the best nachos I've had in a long time. The staff was incredibly friendly and walked us through the menu with helpful recommendations. Even better, the food was prepared in under 10 minutes. Excellent service — will definitely be back soon.

Stopped here on a Saturday adventure. Everyone was super welcoming. It smelled heavenly as soon as you got to the outdoor patio. We ordered a burnt ends sandwich, brisket, potato salad, coleslaw and the bacon Mac. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back when in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 B. Anonymous · Feb 2026

This is real, soulful BBQ, and after having Oz n Bones we are ruined for anything else around. We ordered the chicken, brisket and ribs. Perfect amount of smoke, perfect amount of 'cook', perfect amount of love. Portion sizes are very generous. The sauces are well balanced and not overpowering, and elevate the flavor, letting the meat shine through. The crew are wonderful, warm and happy people who clearly love what they do (even when technology throws a curve ball ;) ). The atmosphere is well-thought out and comfortable, and the blues music choices just add to the overall character. Oz and Bones BBQ is definitely worth the visit!
