Ok, you know I just love Smokey Bones. I mean, it is one of our favorite restaurants down there on the right. I haven’t been there for the pulled pork and ribs since I have started this blog, but I did stop there earlier this week for a lunch salad to go. Let me just say, they ought to stick to smoked meat.

First off, after opening the salad, I would have to say that it was the most unappetizing salad I have ever seen in my entire life. Instead of using nice big pieces of lettuce they used these tiny little pieces the size of confetti, it was actually difficult to pick them up with a fork. I believe it was a barbecue chicken salad, but there was only a few small pieces of very dry chicken. Then, for some odd reason they put pieces of potato sticks on the thing. I’m sure they were there for texture, but they totally threw off the taste of the salad. If I didn’t pay $8 for the thing, I would have thrown it out.

Don’t even bother looking at the salads when you go to Smokey Bones, stick with the meat.
