12 Bones is my guilty pleasure. I get the pulled chicken, sweet potato mash and yummy greens beans. They have the best bbq, smoky potato salad and the collard greens that I put spicy vinegar on. They have the best mac and cheese. It will melt in your mouth...Can't forget thr yummy cornbread...Plz come to Hendersonville...
Off the hook good, went 4 times at the wrong time. 5th time a charm. Lol Everything was great, brisket, ribs and the jalapeno cheese grits are too die for.
We have been hearing rave reviews from happy customers for months and finally were able to go yesterday. The atmosphere is eclectic and very clean, the staff was energetic, happy and polite. I had the coffee bbq ribs with cucumber tomatoe salad and Mac and cheese. It was better than I could have dreamed! The hubby got brisket, mashed sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese. The portions were BIG and we both cleaned our plates including the corn bread! It was worth the wait to finally dine here and we have already shared our delight and planned our next visit! Great job 12 Bones.
Amazing experience. The ribs were as promised -- full of flavor with a great sauce to go with. The sides were excellent and the service was fantastic. The restaurant is very expansive in the inside and we saw families of all sizes enjoying themselves. If you like ribs and southern food in general, I couldn't recommend 12 Bones more highly.
This was my first time here, and I am a fan! Everything was amazing. From the smile I was greeted with at the front door, to the helpful service received by the bartender in the rear of the building. Not to mention the food and drank were outstanding.
If your looking for amazing barbecue and a vibe, Pull-up!
We ate here for second time on my birthday today with our daughter. So so good. Love the hogzilla, corn pudding and jalapeño grits. Also the cherry sour cider was quite good. Such a cool vibe and very laid back. Would highly recommend. Everyone that works here is super nice.
Great experience once again! Food came fast and tasted great. There was plenty of space to find a table even though it was busy. Bathrooms were clean and organized. I recommend the blueberry chipotle ribs.
My first time eating here and it was amazing!!
No wait to order or sit, our food was out in FIVE MINUTES, and that was the best damn corn pudding I’ve ever had.
We will be back!
Easily the best BLT I’ve ever had- delicious fried green tomatoes.
The environment is absolutely beautiful with ample seating selection, indoors or outside!
Well Done, 12 Bones South Asheville.
Hands down one of the best barbecue places I’ve been to in NC. Their chipotle blueberry bbq ribs were so delicious that I would’ve gone for round two if I wasn’t so full! They have live bands on Saturday nights and the staff there are all so incredibly sweet! Would recommend for anyone who’s a fan of BBQ and some good atmosphere.
TL;DR get the ribs
First time here. The brisket is good but not amazing (brisket is HARD to get great). The turkey sandwich was very good; the bacon was the star there. The ribs are the reason to come here; I had the brown sugar and was told that the blueberry were even better.
Loved the corn pudding and the jalapeno grits were very tasty. Mac & cheese was above average but we have a local place that makes 5 star Mac and cheese that blows this one away.
Family enjoyed the BBQ! Great laid-back vibe, dog friendly. Corn pudding was nice. Ribs perfect
First time eating here! It was a spur of the moment decision because Wednesday is trivia night here as well! The corn pudding was literally one of the best things I’ve put in my mouth recently. Would 1000% recommend getting that as at least one of your sides. Trivia was a blast, there were 18 teams tonight and the host was an absolute pleasure! We’ll return!
Yall ever had a 3-way with a pig? I'm talking Bacon, pulled pork, and a brat? That hogzilla is legendary, I'm talking chin dripping good! Them collards, and corn pudding was perfect right besides my hogzilla. Oh yeah, they don't have any bad sauce there either. Yum yum getcha some.
Enjoyed the vibe here. Rustic atmosphere, plenty of space and wasn't too loud with a full dining room. The food was excellent and came out much quicker than expected during the lunch rush. Pictured is the pulled pork plate with mashed sweet taters and collards. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.
The food was phenomenal. I had half rack of ribs with brown sugar rub. The meat was so tender and juicy. Also had the Damned Good Corn Pudding. It was so delicious. Loved it!!! The whole family had different dishes and everything was delicious. Great atmosphere for everyone. Definitely a must to go!!
There’s always a plethora of BBQ options in the south but was pleasantly surprised with 12 Bones. From the brisket to the full rack of ribs our group really enjoyed everything we tried. The group favorites was the corn pudding and ribs but everything on the menu seemed well prepared. The atmosphere was easy going plenty of seating to spread out and also has the option of wandering over to the brewery if your not on the work clock. All in all very satisfied. Cheers!
My fiancée and I are In from New Mexico, visiting my brother and his family. He took us here right after arriving in Asheville. Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, customer service and of course the Bbq was beyond exceptional.
One of the best places to eat in town! The brewery in the back is pleasantly atmospheric, and the restaurant in the front is so family friendly. The food is beyond delicious. I can't speak highly enough. Please Try It! (They have gluten free options)
Would be better if the food was consistent. Sometimes it is GREAT and other times it is just so-so. We have had almost everything on the menu, we go quite regularly with a large group.
Service is fast and genuinely nice staff.
Perfect place for a quick, delicious and flavorful late lunch after a day full of showings. I had a smoked turkey plate with mac and cheese and collard greens, and a glass of Octoberfest- delicious! I always tell my clients about this place, especially the ones who are moving to the area. They need to know good local spots 😁
Been a few years since we’ve been back here. Outstanding. Really enjoyed the brewery as well! I had the DIPA.
