Bones Roadhouse - Gualala

In serious mourning here after hearing that Bones closed down. I've tried every BBQ spot in the Bay Area, and nothing comes nearly close to the quality of smoked brisket here. We even asked for a tour of the smokehouse to learn the secrets, and try to duplicate some of the magic at home. Nothing came close. We miss you, BONES!

Delicious food, yum!!!Seriously good BBQ ribs.I am very sad that they closed.I hope someone buys the joint and reopens and hires the same grill master!

Wide variety of menu choices, service fast and good. Ambience interesting and eye catching........

Not at all surprised they closed. Last time we were there our server brought our lunch, then drove away in her car. She did not say she was leaving and that someone else was taking over for her. No one checked to see if our meal was ok and if we needed anything else The one remaining server was also covering the bar which was a joke. He was standing behind the bar complaining about coming in early while his buddies kept going behind the bar serving themselves free booze. This server had one table to wait on. It took him 3 tries to get the order right but then got it wrong again when he brought it out. This was partly due to the server wining with the guy at this table about the last job they had were this server was fired and the other guy quit because they were actually expected to work at that job! ! My husband and I were fools for wanting to pay and get out of there. It only seemed to **** the server off by making him do something. He quickly snapped to us that he came in early, sorry we were tired of hearing this. His dead bet friends even told him to quit his winning and that we were only trying to pay before leaving!!

So sad they closed! It was a great place to hang out. Decent food.
