My wife and I and others recently ate at Bone Fire based on reviews we 'd read. We were disappointed. First, the good news: the servers were very good, and helpful. The rest is that the food was only average. We 've eaten at a lot of bbq places, from Virginia to Florida, and the food at Bon Fire was mediocre. My wife had the ribs, and they were overcooked and dry, though they did have flavor. I had the pulled pork platter, with cornbread, collards, and broccoli salad, which was good, though a bit sweet. The collards were fine, and the pork was too, but they do not compare to, say, Mission BBQ in Charlottesville or The BBQ Exchange in Gordonsville, VA. One other thing. My wife and I ordered p...
Decided to give this gem a try and so glad we did. We arrived around 6:15 and were seated within a couple minutes. The atmosphere is casual and if you appreciate the history (age) of a building you will love this place. The floors are the original floors and the wood in the bar area takes you back to another era. Our server was Priscilla and she was phenomenal. Very personable and we enjoyed getting to know her. She took good care of us even after they got busy. She offered many suggestions since we were from out of town. The hubs and I ordered the two meat dinner to share which for us included the pulled chicken and chicken wings with two sides (collards and beans). All of it was delicious....
Ordered a half rack of ribs; with two sides, collard greens and Mac n cheese. The meal comes with a slice of cornbread. We were there on a Monday- which sometimes matters in the restaurant world. Service was phenomenal, everyone was very personable and helpful with menu questions. Food was mediocre, at best. The ribs were over-cooked, flavorful but dry. The collards have a somewhat sweet after taste, and we’re cooked to perfection. The Mac n cheese was pathetic, not creamy not cheesy not worth the calories. Cornbread was dry and crumbly. None of my food was ‘hot’ upon arrival. Charging $7 for Narragansett, not pouring to the top… it was cold though. Our party was told that depending… green b...
My wife and I stopped in Abingdon on our way to West Virginia and chose to eat at this restaurant after reading some reviews. Unfortunately, they were out of brisket, pork loin, collard greens, and even straws! My wife's fried green tomato BLT was quite good, and she was happy with it. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich but had to substitute sausage for the pork loin. The sausage tasted like store-bought kielbasa, and the pulled pork lacked flavor. The mac and cheese was bland, and the baked beans were just okay. However, the hot sauce served with the meal really made a difference; it improved the beans and added some much-needed flavor to the sandwich. Our waitress was very friendly and knowl...

As I waited for my food, the muggy temperatures began to get uncomfortable; I started to feel sticky, and flies buzzed around my ankles, further aggravating my mood. To top it off, they don’t serve fountain drinks here; only bottled soft drinks are available, so I had to pay for every refill. That made it difficult to cool off with ice-cold Diet Cokes to ease my discomfort. Yikes!
Despite the lack of comfort, I do want to give credit to the employees for their warmth and hospitality. Overall, I’d rate it 2.5 stars, but out of respect for my satanic waitress, I’ll round it up to a 3!
We had lunch at Bone Fire while visiting Abingdon. It's very casual and has a typical BBQ menu with some interesting sandwiches. I had the Hog, which was pork, sausage, bacon, and cheese. It was very good. Service was good and prices are reasonable.
This restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and great music. The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly. I particularly enjoyed the fried pickles!
I decided to try out this restaurant and I'm so glad that I did. We arrived at 6:15 and were seated within a few minutes. The atmosphere is casual and cozy.

Wow, we were absolutely amazed by this restaurant! We stopped by on our road trip from Pennsylvania to Kentucky and stumbled upon this hidden gem.
When I entered, the temperature was warm and slightly humid. The restaurant has a rustic wooden charm, but lacks aesthetic appeal.
