The Best! 2/1/2010

The best BBQ in the U.S! It doesn't matter what you order, you'll love it. When I lived out west, my first stop upon landing in Jacksonville was Lou Bono's. I now live 75 miles away in Georgia, but a detour to southside is always in order if we're in Jax. Go hungry! more

Lip Smacking 12/3/2002

I have dine at all the BBQ restaurants in Jacksonville, even north to Maryland & west to Texas but no one beats BONO'S. The pure taste of the meat come from Harvey, main cooker who has been there over 50 years and give BONO'S it's personality. When Harvey retires there is going to a great lose.

One day I met a man who flies from New York to Jax, has lunch at BONO's, drives to Miami for business back to Jax eat at BONO's and flies back to NY. He's biggest regret was when he retired. Pros: Inexpensive, large quanity of food, smells like a BBQ pla more

I ordered the smoked turkey. They use some sort of rubbery processed meat that is discusting. I asked the waitress what exactly it was and if it was processed, but she just shrugged and said ""I have no idea."" Well, I have no idea why people eat at this place!!!??? more

    The Bono's on Beach Boulevard is the first--it opened in 1949--and it still has original booths and counters. It's casual, for sure. Come in wearing a tie and the staff just...
