Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill on Lake Lansing Road in Lansing.
My curiosity finally won out. Is it possible for a large chain restaurant to make good BBQ? I’ve tried in the past. I’ve eaten at a Corky’s franchise hoping for the best, but leaving feeling disappointed. In my experience, the best BBQ joints are always locally owned, they smoke on site, and they serve Memphis style BBQ.
Saturday was a pretty crappy day. J and I both overslept due to the rain. Our bedroom looked dark all morning and neither of us were motivated enough to actually look at a clock to see what time it was. When we did finally roll out of bed, we started our Saturday ritual of debating eateries and activities to fill our afternoon before I had to go to work. I had the BBQ craving and J had a GAP Rewards card, so Eastwood Towne Center seemed like the best option.
Smokey Bones Barbeque & Grill is just off of Lake Lansing Road in front of the Eastwood Towne Centre near the other chain restaurants that dominate the area.

It actually faces the access road for the mall. Read the rest of this entry »
