Best WLM Reviews
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.
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!
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
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!
Super cool place. Painted everywhere and people write their names and where they're from inside. These ribs were amazing and being from Texas, I like to think I know good ribs, lol. Even bought a hat and have been sporting it down here. Would find a way to go again if I'm ever up in those parts.
12 bone smoke river house is a very busy barbecue restaurant the line moves very fast counter service then you go to a table. The service is great
They have a good selection of meant and side I was with 6 people I ordered the Friday service
Chopped brisket it was to chopped to eat with out bread next time I will get sandwich
Side we’re good try them all!!
Best ribs I’ve ever had!! The food here is amazing. We got the brown sugar dry rub and these ribs were so good. The place is a really fun atmosphere. This is a great casual spot to enjoy bbq around the river art district.
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.
