While in Toledo, and being from KC, I had a taste for some BBQ; so I thought I would give this place a try. I did ask and Smokey Bones is a restraint chain. However all things considered the BBQ was not bad at all. Their ribs were St. Louis style and not too bad, the pulled pork was moist and had a light smokey flavor. The sausage was smoked, but it really tasted like polish sausage, good, but nothing special as far as the BBQ sausage category. I also tried the baked bean, they were ok, but were missing the special touch that the individualized BBQ places seem to add. The sauce was sweet, but did have a very strong vinegar overtone. All in all not too bad, not the best, but my no means the worst BBQ I have ever had, not a bad place for a quick BBQ fix while on the road.
Pros: Nice area, close to hotels and interstate, not bad for a chain
