Bono’s Bar-B-Q & Grill

One of my go to places for lunch or dinner when I’m in Stuart. I’m a big fan of the sweet Georgia sandwich on garlic toast with the salad bar. You can make a meal just from a single plate trip to the salad bar. The mix of meats with the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce always hits the spot. Add in a sweet tea to top off the experience.

Bonos is the best BBQ south of Jacksonville. Best sauce, best service. Full bar, Wine is only $ 2.79 a glass!!! Great country down home place for great food and friendly service. We had fried okra, fried pickles to start-​amazing. Light and hot. Then the combo dinner of pork and ribs. Yumm-​o! Wing Wednesday’s for .69 cents! Love it!

I absolutely love this restaurant! Not only is the food good and the service is AMAZING but the wonderful owners are so giving and willing to help those in need, I’m so happy I found bonos!

The prices are getting higher and you’re getting smaller amounts of food. The containers they use for the side items wouldn’t satisfy a two year old. Unfortunately my elderly parents have been purchasing food here for years but that will stop since their portions are getting smaller.

We LOVE bbq & are always on the lookout for a good place… It doesn’t get any better than Bono’s! Yummy… Total comfort food, like home cookin… GOOD home cookin! Desserts are amazing, staff is friendly & quick, cant say enough! Personal FAVE is the St. Louis style ribs! Meaty, tender, tasty! Mmmm… Think I’ll head there for lunch!!!

We do not like the food here it is bland. We came here once and we will not return.

I’ve grown up on Bono’s and they’ve grown up too. I was recently in town visiting some family and had to stop in for a few of my favorite things. I quickly realized that they had some new additions to the menu. Naturally, I HAD to try them!
First off, let’s talk about the fried green beans. They had the perfect amount of crisp and weren’t greasy at all. They are usually accompanied with a creamy chipotle sauce, but our waitress Alicia recommended the blue cheese dressing, which was amazing!
I had to save some room for my fellow favorite appetizer, the corn nuggets. I can never leave Bono’s without having an order of those little golden treasures of deliciousness. Creamed corn fried to perfection, this description doesn’t do them any justice, but please get them. Just do it. I dip them in the honey mustard (it will catch on that I have a thing for condiments, if it hasn’t already).
Naturally, I had a sweet tea. It’s never too sweet or too un. But, then… I saw the drink menu. I am very particular when it comes to adult beverages. I like em sweet. I mentioned this to Alicia and she knew exactly what to bring me and she was soooo right. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was SO good. It was a daiquiri of some sort. All I know is that it made me happy and made me want to be on a boat!
As for my main course, I had the salad bar, which had some new items on it. Fresh cut bacon bits, sunflower seeds, and craisins, just to name a few. FYI if you end up getting the salad bar there is a tuna macaroni salad. Please follow these steps: scoop the salad on your plate. Do a light drizzle of honey mustard on the salad. Grab the rectangular crackers (these are on top of the salad bar) and crunch them up. Sprinkle the crushed crackers on top of the salad. Drizzle Sweet and Tangy sauce (this sauce, by the way is good on EVERYTHING) on the salad. Eat the salad and tell me about it. Best bite of your life.
I also ordered the shrimp combo. I did 6 grilled and 6 fried. I’m not sure what batter they use or if it’s something in the water, but the shrimp was perfectly fried! The grilled shrimp was tasty too. Of course I dipped them in the pink sauce (this creamy condiment goodness) and the cocktail (had just enough kick to it). I had a side of broccoli and a sweet potato. Broccoli is broccoli, the more important thing is holy cinnamon butter. Mmmmm makes eating my vegetables easy!
Surprisingly, I had very little room for dessert. I got the coconut cream pie, took one bite, and had to box it up. The pie was a fantastic way to end the meal. Light and airy.
As you can tell, I highly recommend Bono’s. I’ll be back for more and to try their breakfast. Which, they have breakfast now… this might lead me into a food coma. I’ll have another story for you soon, I’m sure!

Since we were in the south, we had to get our BBQ fix in. We got here and there were a few other tables. I got the rib combo platter which came with babybacks and st louis style.
The St. Louis style I thought was pretty dry and lacked a smoke ring which gave me concerns even before biting into it. The babyback had some smoke ring but not much. It was more moist though for sure. The service was great though, but the food was just alright to be honest.

Sat us right away, food was great… Omg ribs fell off the bone, potato was sooo good, corn, as suggested by Becky our waitress, was awesome… Wine was nice, wouldn’t mind a larger selection but understand it is a rub joint where beer is more common. Pies were delicious. Thanks Becky

We enjoy eating at Bonos every Wednesday! Best southern breakfast around! Everything on the menu is good! Would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a nice breakfast to catch up with an old friend or just for a quick bite.

Great brisket with horseradish sauce and garlic bread. The green beans and sweet potato I had as sides were above average. Onion rings were just average and I’ll skip them next time. Service was excellent.

Large, clean BBQ restaurant with the best happy hour I’ve ever been to! My martini cost $ 3.25, and their happy hour is from 3pm-​close! Wish they were closer because I’d save a lot on drinks! The pulled pork and baked potato were very good.

Good food. Desserts are fantasic and the dessert menu changes every night. Sweet tea is perfect.

Decent baby backs and the pulled pork is okay. Their vegetable of the day usually has the blandness you’d expect to get served at the early bird at the retirement home.
They get an extra star for having a mustard based sauce on offer.

This is some good olé BBQ, Enough said. Great pricing and the staff is friendly.

Awesome after 10 or so years.
Great pricing, food and staff.

I’ve been here few times and it’s always very good. The price of food is average for a BBQ place. The salad bar is pretty standard. I wish they had french dressing because it’s kinda my favorite. The corn nuggets are very good and i like the selection of BBQ sauces. I don’t eat pork but I’ve heard it is very good.

Okay, let me just get this out of the way… I hate going to Florida. However, when I have to be here Bono’s is the one thing I look forward to. There just isn’t anything close to the BBQ goodness of Bono’s in California or anywhere else for that matter (Memphis, excluded). I am addicted to the sweet corn nuggets and the BBQ pork sandwich. They have 4 different BBQ sauces to choose from and while I prefer the original flavor hands down, I think they all have their merits. I’ve probably dined here around 10 times in the past 4 years & every time I have had exceptional service and food quality. The randomness of it all says it’s not a fluke. They even have a drive-​thru window for when you need to take the yummy happiness away.

Not the first time I’ve eaten here and definitely not the last. (10/​20/​2008). We met the Roedl’s up here for a family night out. Most people ordered the Baby Backs (either ½ slab or full) which come with 2 sides and garlic toast.
One of the party actually ordered the burger (she had had dental work earlier in the day) and it looked fantastic!
Monday night was all-​you-​can eat Baby Back Ribs for $ 18.95 and to be fair, unless you come ready to strap on the feedbag, it’s probably a waste. A full rack with the sides is filling enough for anyone.
Waitress was very attentive and kept up on refills for us. I have to say that if you order a soft drink or a water, they come in 32 oz. glasses, so it’s not like you need a lot of refills.
Unfortunately I’ve never had anything else here other than the baby backs, but for the first time we did order some desserts. One apple cobbler, one peach cobbler and one peanut butter pie. The cobblers came with an option of a la mode but we passed on that. They arrived warm out of the oven and were just heavenly. The peanut butter pie was good, but honestly was something that was bought (from a food service company) and not home made but it was still good.
The only thing I’d say to watch out for is that their «original» bbq sauce is a mustard based sauce. I know most of my bbq has been limited to Florida, Georgia and a little bit of North Carolina but this was the first time the main sauce was mustard-​based. That created a small surprise for MK unfortunately, but she was able to recover nicely.
This place is solid and has been here for years (rebuilt about 5 years ago) and is a huge favorite with both the Sheriff’s Deputies as well as the Stuart Police Dept, so if anything you’re pretty safe eating here as well!
