Bone Daddy’s Bbq

I had heard of Bone Daddy’s a couple of times, but it is about 70 miles north of where I live so I didn’t think much about.
This weekend while visiting my daughter at college we decided to go get something to eat and in doing a search of places near us, Bone Daddy’s popped up and we decided to check it out.
We arrive at at 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and the place was empty. empty to the point that when we pulled in I thought at first that they were not open yet.
We walked in and the smell that greeted us was heavenly.
We order and sat down and almost before we settles into our seats, out came our food.
My wife and daughter split the sampler plate of pulled pork, brisket and ribs. I had the brisket plate and my daughter’s boyfriend had the brisket sandwich.
My brisket was some of the best I have ever had, moist, smoky and tender. I had the beans and coleslaw as my sides. Both were excellent, however the beans were stand outs, sweet, tangy, and with a good bit of heat. The cornbread followed suit with its own hint of spicy sweetness.
My wife and daughter loved their dishes also, which as usual I was given a taste of each item. The pork was wonderful and the ribs cooked and sauced perfectly.
I see what they won 1^st place in Reno NV this year, and we will be returning to Bone Daddy’s BBQ every chance we get.
In reading the other reviews I have seen a couple that say their meat it too fatty. Guess these folks do not understand BBQ and what makes for a flavorful cut of meat. No fat = no taste and tough. If your don’t like fat, you probably shouldn’t be eating BBQ.

Closed again during working hours. What a shame. Always call ahead to make sure they will be working.

I got the sampler plate because the first time at a place and a Native Texan that gets his smoke on, I found a MAJOR FLAW!
The ribs were the best I’ve had in Michigan. The beans and the meat were good but tasted like fuel! Major flaw in smoking incorrectly!
Noticed the smokers outside with gas lines attached. Sorry Bone Daddy… You’re CHEATING! I give you mad props on the ribs though! They were ON POINT!
But…There’s nothing worst than tasting fuel in the smoke. Gotta fix that and don’t drown the brisket and pulled pork in sauce.
Fix that and I’ll change my review to 5 Stars

Went there at 12pm and were closed. Sign said open at 11am on door sooo was first and last time i went there.

I will recommend this place to someone new to Midland. If you are looking for a good bbq place, this is it.

I had the sampler with ribs chicken and pork. It was very good. Good value with the price too. It a little more than I’d like to spend on a meal on average but it IS NOT your average plate of food. I will return.

The ribs are fantastic. The brisket is below average and the pork (while good) has way too much sauce for my taste, but the ribs are as good as you’ll find anywhere. I never get ribs when I go to BBQ joints because I much prefer pork and brisket, but I almost never get anything but ribs when I’m at Bone Daddy’s.

I’ve spent a lot of time in «barbecue country» — Texas, Kansas City, North Carolina. Each place distinct in it’s own style, with passionate devotees. Don’t come here expecting a copy of another regional style — Bone Daddy’s is uniquely Midwestern.
Their menu is simple and the dining is casual. Their food is consistent, and delicious. Hands-​down, the tri-​tip their best, when it’s available, but the brisket is my go-​to choice here. I really appreciate the no frills style.

If you stick with the ribs and sliced beef brisket, you’ll be happy. Skip the pulled pork because it’s too fatty, and they aren’t as thorough about separating the skin bits from the meat. If that doesn’t bother you, then go right ahead and order it, as it is a MASSIVE amount of food; almost a little too much for the size of bun they give you. It turns into mush very quickly. For $ 7.20, it is more than enough food for one person. Beef brisket plate will run you about $ 11.25 for meat, smokehouse beans, coleslaw, cornbread muffin or dinner rolls. Their cornbread muffin is pretty sweet, but it’s definitely a better option than the dinner rolls, which are bland and boring.
They had a hiatus for quite some time, but they are back busier than ever, so if you find are in the mood for BBQ and are in the tri-​cities area, Bone Daddy’s is certainly worth a try. Bonus that they cater for large and small events, corporate or personal! :)

Really good BBQ. The sausage was exceptional and the ribs were excellent. I got the sampler plate which also included brisket.
Sides were good as well. Baked beans were sweet but tasty. Cole slaw a bit above average.
