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 onlyhad chopped brisket (not sliced), which pretty much tasted like sloppy Joe?s with no smoky flavor because it was smothered insauce. The pulled pork was kind of bland and dry. The beans tasted like they were canned. The corn pudding and cornbread werethe only things we really liked. Everyone was Nice, and the food came out super fast, but overall I?m not sure that I would callthis one of the top barbecue joints. Our chain bbq restaurants in Ga are better. There is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating Read more

Solid food offerings and good portions. The wings were hands down the best part of the meal (ribs still good) and would purchase... again without hesitation. Peanut butter pie for dessert was a nice addition. Read more

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. Thesauces were excellent and the restaurant was really fun. I wish they had a sampler plate so I could try everything. Maybe theydid, but I didn?t see it. Read more

Located in the art district. Ordered a half rack of ribs and wanted to try their pulled pork. Ribs fell off the bone. Tons of... meat, brown sugar seasoning was what I wanted. They have dipping sauces to use their. Pulled pork was spot on, Mac and cheesewas tasty. Collard greens, not my thing so I can?t judge those. Washed it all down with some urban cider. Will be back again Read more

I ordered ribs and pulled pork. I have to say this is the best ribs and pulled pork I?ve had. The staff was friendly and... restrooms were clean. The food came out quick and hot. There was plenty of seating inside and all kinds of seating outside. A+12 Bones!!! Read more

Always a guaranteed good meal. 12 Bones has a fantastic brisket. I love the dry rubbed ribs. For the daring try the hot hot Bbq... ribs. For safe but I'm not sure healthy there is a terrific pulled chicken. Just add your side...Mac and cheese, slaw,cornbread, okra, etc and you won't be disappointed. This location is along the river in an old warehouse section. A great spotto hangout, bike ride or walk. Read more

Waited about 30 minutes in a line outside. I'd definitely do it again. Some of the best pulled pork I've ever had, even without... sauce. Fiance loved the blueberry chipotle ribs. Corn pudding is also super good. We'll definitely be adding this place to ourlist of places to come back to. Read more
