Very few events in my family's lives haven't included Bono's on Merrill Rd. They have catered or seated Eagle Scout Courts of Honor (yes, more than 1), High School Graduations, College Graduations, Countless birthdays and anniversaries, Band banquets, and even provided "Comfort Food" during sad times and let downs in our lives. It is our meeting place for dinner on Friday nights when some (or God help them-ALL) of us are available. Thank you isn't enough to the amazing staff at Bono's! You are truly a crowning jewel or Arlington!
This is my go-to place for BBQ when I don't feel up to firing up the bge. Great meats and sides! The service is outstanding! One of the best, if not the best Bono's!
We enjoy BBQ and our favorite place to get it is Bono's on Merrill. The staff is very attentive and they really make you feel at home. They treat us like family. I recommend them to everyone.
This is the best place in Jax for BBQ. Great food , great service , great price. What else can you ask for.
The service with a smile is impeccable and outstanding! The food is excellent! I used my fingers for everything I ate except that delicious banana pudding....I thought Momma was back there in the kitchen for a minute lol. No other rib place got it going on like Bono's!��
Really enjoy the embellishments and overall atmosphere. People are friendly and quick to get your order to you. And best of all, love the food!
First visit and it was excellent. The decor with all the American Flags theme is very Patriotic. The smoker was full of good meats. Cant wait to go back.
The staff took good care of us even though we were a party of nine and we didn't call ahead. I thought the food was great. I had the Bird Dog sandwich which is a smoked turkey sandwich with a smoked sausage on it. Their sauces are also very good.
Thursday, August 24th - All I need to say is awesome Brisket..!! But can't forget the Corn Nuggets, fried corn on the cob, Mac & cheese and that toasted bread..!!! Delicious..!!!
We knew it would be busy due to "Matthew", but the staff was amazing. No grumpy faces, all smiles and the service was, as always, prompt and attentive. The food came in a timely manner, even though our waitress apologized for the wait due to how busy they were. This is our neighborhood Bonos and we were pleased at how well they stepped up to the plate to feed hot, hungry neighbors. Well done!
Today i had lunch in bonos, sat indoors. The food was"chefs kiss". My server Danielle was amazing as always, she was training someone to serve. She is not afraid of the "shenanigans, kiki"it was a pleasure to be around ppl whom appreciate their customers. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Stay Safe.
We have a great time at this location the Food is great the Sweet Tea is awesome and the portions are spot on I'm usually very full when we're done. Try the Fried Squash it is a great appetizer before your BBQ plate shows up to finish you off. Will be back soon. You have to try this location
We travel from the North side to dine in there. Excellent and courteous staff. There hasn't been a time that the staff and food was not amazing. Thank You and Merry Christmas.
The staff makes you feel like family. Eryn is amazing. Highly recommend sitting in her section. And they have real legit pit BBQ. Fast service with a nice helpful staff. Love the turkey and sweet potatoes. Great salads. Yummy banana pudding and cookies. Also, check out the bono's app to earn free food and keep updated. I definitely highly recommend 👌 👍
We've been going here for years and enjoy their reasonably priced, tasty BBQ. The staff is kind and helpful, the food is a bit above par for chain BBQ establishments, portions that are generous, and the prices are a bit below your typical BBQ joint - with daily specials that make it an even better deal.
Covid Update 10/2020 - Bono's is still doing 50% seating and taking lots of safety precautions to ensure we're all safe.
Came in here and ordered a four piece chicken with baked beans and Mac and cheese food was great, My waiter was great, friendly
Sweet smoke smell hits you the minute you walk in the door, and you know you made the right choice. Our server was so sweet and helpful, and the food was delicious! Loved the pulled pork and fried corn. Highly recommend!
Absolutely great brisket sandwich with fries. Customer service is right on spot and the place is very clean.
I will definitely come back!
I stopped at Bono’s Saturday around 5:15, ordered ribs and chicken it was ready in about 10 minutes. Went home and it was excellent!
I visited this Bono's BBQ a month or so ago and I like the food. unfortunately I went there around 3 in the afternoon and they were vacuuming so the atmosphere wasn't ideal. I like Bono's barbecue and I'll be back,
Only complaint i have is the sweet tea is no longer sweet when asked about the change i was told augar has got expensive so they are only allowed to put 1 cup of sugar everyone was returning the sweet for a different drink smh
A go to place for lunch. Recommend the turkey sandwich or turkey platter meal.
