I went to this restaurant to get barbecue for my family and I spent $90. I ordered and paid for the food on my way as soon as we picked up the food we tasted some of from one of the dinners and it was disgusting! so I immediately called the restaurant, my son spoke to them very nicely and explained that we were requesting at least half of our money back because the food, all of it was in of edible. and I was not going to get that food to my children. The young lady on the phone threatened to call the police on us if we came back there to their money back so I’m saying that I’m going to report this restaurant to the Better Business Bureau and I want to tell them have a nice day God bless you I hope the that $90 was worth it. My grandchildren were waiting for food and my grandson just said I’ll try it and then he spit it out and said grandma this is the worst food I’ve ever had oh my God get someone better in there that’s cooking and good get a better quality of food get your business right make some money otherwise close down. After trying to support, I’m very disappointed
Came here because it is BBQ and Black Owned. Disappointed, no seating which we didn’t know before, food didn’t really have spice? The best thing we got was the watermelon lemonade… we had ordered 4 meals. Brisket was cubed and tasted odd, kinda tender but not like it was seasoned. Smoked chicken wasn’t dry but the taste was lacking. Collard greens were okay, Mac n cheese was mid, but the yams tasted canned. Overall, not a BBQ heaven but on the highway to hell.
Recently came to revisit Bonnie B's Smokin a couple years after my initial visit. Although dining in was a preferable experience, I was still impressed by the authentic BBQ experience (down to a slice of white bread with my chicken and sides!).The BBQ sauce is a bit more runny than what I'm used to, but MAN it tasted good. There was a depth of flavor punctuated by a tang that really complemented the chicken that was cooked to perfection. The mac n cheese and baked beans were great, but the watermelon lemonade was a true standout.I can't wait to come back again.
Worst BBQ in the WORLD. Old meat, brisket cubes, fake sides, and stupid high cost. RUN away, ANY place is better including the Mc Rib.
I was really excited to get some homemade barbecue but was very,very disappointed. The 1st day I came in town they were closed on a Thursday which is unreal for a business that wants to make money. The 2nd day we went They were closed again early. The 3rd day I was there we finally got a chance to get some barbecue and it wasn't what I expected it wasn't as tender as I expected . For a minority own business I truly thought they were open to cater to the people but the excuse of the Individual was we ran out of food that's why we closed early really. And the last thing that truly put me over the top was papa was my husband asked for an extra barbecue Is sauce and they truly wanted to charge a dollar extra . I know there is an inflation issue but wow really!
Amazing food; the Ribs, the sides, and cornbread made me very happy! The meat didn't even need sauce but they included a side of it. Bonnie serves it sweet!
I got the $7.99 special. It was so good! Friendly staff, quick and efficient, all around a good experience. I will definetly be back.
I tried this place for the first time and it was VERY disappointing. I ordered the smothered chicken (it had a funny taste) the mac & cheese tasted old, the greens were OK, I ended up not eating it and threw it ALL away. I can DEFINITELY say that this was my first and LAST time going to this place! Pasadena NEEDS better soul food establishments to choose from.
Very disappointing. The meat has a funny taste and the bbq sauce seems to be thinned out with water. This is not authentic or even good bbq.
Best bbq sauce I’ve ever had! Chicken hot links and chicken dipped in the sauce tastes amazing !!!!!! I highly recommend giving this place a try! So good!!! ???✨??
