Great place in the art district. Indoor and outdoor dining. Felt great inside. Long line to get in so we knew it was going to be great. It did not disappoint. You can bring sharpies and leave your mark on the walls. RC and cheerwine drink options along with adult beverages and water. We had the brisket, pulled pork, and blueberry chipotle ribs. All amazing. For sides we had smoked potato salad, collard greens, cucumber salad, and baked beans. All were amazing. Topped it off with peach cobbler pound cake. We couldn’t hardly walk when we left. We will definitely be back and bringing friends.

So I’ve been here before, but the other location. I thought the atmosphere and service were excellent, but I was a little disappointed in the meal. I got the ribs, baked beans, and mac and cheese. I felt the ribs could have been more tender and were a bit dry. The beans I thought were a little bit hard, like they could have been cooked a little longer. The mac and cheese were good, and the corn bread was alright. It could be my expectations based on previous visits, but as someone who talks up this place, I was a little disappointed. Will I come back, probably because everything can’t be perfect every time and I hope this was a fluke.

We had come here several years ago when it was at its old location. I couldn’t wait to eat here today. The food is delicious! We really liked the blueberry Chipotle ribs!! I of course had to have the pulled pork. My daughters mac n cheese and smoked potatoes were great and would definitely get them again. The service was great!! The staff were all so kind and were good at keeping up with the crowd

Wonderful BBQ spot in downtown. Great options, daily specials. I got the MLT, mushrooms, lettuce and fried green tomatoes on wheat berry bread with mashed sweet potatoes and cucumber salad. They had about 4-5 of their sauces that you could dispense for yourself. Liked it so much I bought a T-shirt, a bottle of sauce and some pint glasses on the way out!

Yes, please! Get some more 12 Bones in me! This was one of my hubby’s favorite spots while he lived in Asheville, and it did not dissapoint! We have our local favorite BBQ place in Atlanta, and 12 Bones definitely gives them a run for their money! We even left with a few bottles of sauce.
I always judge a good BBQ place based on their ribs. I got the traditional dry rub, because I had never been there, and wanted to try the classic/traditional. My hubby got the blueberry chipotle, which was a mind blower for me! Blueberry?! Who would have thought?! Sooooo gooood!!!
More importantly, not only were the ribs amazing, but the sides were equally as good. It is so important to have good sides. We got baked beans, corn pudding, collard greens, and cheese grits. Um, yum!!!
Everything was great! They have a bunch of side sauces you can get for everything. And I am a sauce kind of girl. Plus, we saw a sticker from our favorite local BBQ joint on the wall. It made me feel a little less like I was cheating, and a little more like we’re all just sharing the joy of great food!
You’d be missing out if you didn’t eat here while in Asheville!

Finally, I had the time to try some local bbq. I was 2nd in-line and got to try some brisket. Got the plate meal with 2 sides. The collard greens were good not great. The smoked potato salad was okay. The brisket was okay. The corn bread was okay. The sauces were excellent and the restaurant was really fun. I wish they had a sampler plate so I could try everything. Maybe they did, but I didn’t see it.
Second trip and tried the worlds driest ribs. The collard greens were awesome and the Mac n cheese was very good as well. The baked beans needed more time to cook and the cornbread was not good.

Glad I was able to squeeze this place in on our trip! The pulled pork was nice, but the mustard was NICE. We also had a few “bones” which were solid. The blueberry sauce was good too. BUT the star of the show…the grits!
Neat that they’re connected to a brewery too. The whole thing was very good

Let me first off say the food was great once I was able to eat it. I ordered their smoked turkey with no bacon because I have Crohn’s disease and I am unable to eat bacon, they convinced me at the counter to put it on the side so my partner could eat it. When I got the sandwich I noticed it wasn’t on the side. I took a bite into my sandwich and instantly spit it out because it was loaded with bacon, I complained and they remade the sandwich with my 2 sides… I can’t believe the difference in plate size… this was a major slap in my face. I went from 2 scoops of potato salad to a tiny one and a tiny bit of Mac and cheese. The customer service and kitchen need work here because the food is great! They also took my cornbread and never brought me another slice. I will never come back to this establishment. Below are photos for proof…
EDIT: the manager flagged me down after my meal and apologized, comp’d it and gave us extra cornbread. I am updating my review to 4 stars to reflect the chef and managers who were very nice.

We went right when they first opened it, and there was already a line out the door. I expected fantastic barbecue based on the smell in the air, the line out the door, and the online reviews about Obama coming twice. We were not super impressed. They only had chopped brisket (not sliced), which pretty much tasted like sloppy Joe’s with no smoky flavor because it was smothered in sauce. The pulled pork was kind of bland and dry. The beans tasted like they were canned. The corn pudding and cornbread were the only things we really liked. Everyone was Nice, and the food came out super fast, but overall I’m not sure that I would call this one of the top barbecue joints. Our chain bbq restaurants in Ga are better. There is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating

This place is an Asheville classic and my husband and I finally tried it on our last visit.
We shared:
– 6 Bones (Strawberry Hopsour & Blueberry Chipotle) with Smoked Potato Salad and Mashed Sweet Potatoes
– 6 Bones (Brown Sugar & Blackberry) with Mac & Cheese and Damn Good Corn Puddin’
– Banana Pudding
The ribs were fantastic. I’m not a big rib person normally, but these were the best I’ve ever had. The blueberry chipotle was my favorite, but you really can’t go wrong.
The sides were also very good. The only one I wouldn’t get again is the mac & cheese. It was basically just noodles with a little Velveeta cheese I think (not the kind of mac and cheese I like).
