I wanted to love this place, but ended up pretty disappointed. I ordered the brisket and chicken breast with Mac and cheese and coleslaw, and while the Mac and cheese was excellent, the brisket and chicken were nearly bone dry. The chicken was so dry we didn’t eat it, and I was expecting the meat to be smoked but I couldn’t taste or smell any smoke on it.
Staff were very friendly though.
If you’re ever in Toronto, try Benny’s BBQ and ask for their secrets, bring it back to Halifax.

A very awesome place to stop by and have a fantastic meal. The owner Jamie is a great person and knows how to treat his customers. The staff is very pleasant and very helpful. The ribs were falling off the bone and both meals were unbelievable. We will be back with our friends. Date night was a success, thank you

Server was amazing, had no problem recommending and highlighting what she really enjoys. So we ordered a few things that she highlighted and wow wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. Spent just over $30 for 3 meats (incredibly small servings) & 2 sides, only thing that was hot was the Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese didn’t even taste like anything, paid an extra $1 for brisket which was not only at most lukewarm but super dry (had to chase with beer), the thin ribs were so dry and the chicken was a little I mean little juicy (compared to the others, didn’t take much) but no smoke note and the skin wasn’t even crispy. The only thing that truly looked like it had a smoke ring was the brisket. The fries were anything but crispy, they were cold and soggy. It honestly felt like I was served food that was maybe 2-3 days old. Not a place that I’d recommend

We have eaten at Boneheads since it first opened, so we have lots of experience with it. At first it was amazing, but the last few years became…subpar. With the new owners the quality has been restored. Great portions and amazing food. My only critique would be that the gravy is way too salty – but other than that, it’s great!

The service was not very friendly. But the portions were very generous the ribs were undercooked and way too salty. But the pulled pork, brisket and sides were amazing. Prices are reasonable for the portion of food you are getting.

BBQ or Barbecue lovers must head to this place in Halifax. The food tasted as good as it looked. They know how to get the seasoning right and how to cook them perfectly. Pork Brisket was melting in my mouth and the Chicken leg was delicious grilled. The Ribs was smoked fine and the sides were great too. Poutine is excellent along with Mac and Cheese. Coleslaw was fresh. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service was quick. The place was full and buzzing. Value for money. We’ll definitely go again.

Don’t let the small size fool you. This place has big flavours and awesome food. The pulled pork was excellent. Not drippy, not dry. The fries are to die for. And get the peanut butter pie, it is rich and smooth, not overly sweet.
Would go back regularly if I loved there!

Finally had the chance to try Boneheads last night. Oh mon dieu, simply sublime!! To begin, everything on the menu had me salivating, but decided to go with the Back Ribs coupled with a side of Mac & Cheese. Fantastic choice! Barbecued to perfection, and bathed in a sinfully delicious sauce, every bite of Rib left me wanting more. And each spoonful of my M & C was a cheesy delight, bursting with flavour. Staff was fantastic, the restaurant sparkling clean, and the food left me thinking, “This is about to become a habit!” We’ll be back!

Was excited to try this place, as we were visiting from out of town. But we left pretty disappointed. Arrived at 7:10, restaurant notes open until 8:00. We were met with looks of disappointment and annoyance instead of a greeting. Asked if we were a problem, no one answered. We were told we could only sit at the table closest to the counter because the rest of the restaurant had been cleaned for the night already. Even though the table in the corner was clearly still dirty.
Brisket was dry and didn’t taste smoked, tasted like an overcooked Sunday roast, ribs were decent. Sausage was decent but just a smoked hot dog, cornbread was also dry. Weren’t acknowledged by the staff even once after ordering and they didn’t even bother to say thanks or ask how anything was. We were in and out in under 20 minutes. But if you’re not looking to serve customers in the last hour you’re open (we arrive 50 minutes before close) just close. Would not recommend

Absolutely phenomenal BBQ. Easy contender for best in the city.
I made the mistake of ordering a full rack of ribs. This is a mistake because mere mortals were not meant to have this much meat. Extremely tender, hot and fresh, beautiful flavors, moist but not a dripping mess. Easily 10/10 ribs. I opted for cornbread as my side since I knew I would be eating it later.
My wife opted foe the three meat (chicken, brisket, and pulled pork). This too was a mistake as three meats and a side (Mac and cheese) offered up a mountain of protein that could not be beaten. 8/10.
My MIL was the most reasonable and had a half rack. The other half of the tray was reserved fries, an ocean of salty potatoes. 10/10 no room for fries.
Cornbread is real, genuine cornbread served with whipped honeybutter.
So the food was out of this world, but how was the ordering process? Scan a QR from your table, make the order online, put in your table number and wait 10 minutes. I honestly think we had our food within 10 minutes, but say under 15 to be safe. You can also order at the counter.
Prices are extremely reasonable considering the quantity and quality. $28 for a full rack of the best ribs I’ve had in recent years? Unbeatable.
Fast, quality and quantity, reasonable prices. Only downside is the dinig room is a touch cramped and there are no wet wipes.
