Our story so far...After much research throughout the States, Smokin Bones had its first outing in Herbert Park in 2014. Barbecue has grown to be a way of life for the Smokin Bones team and is much more than smoky meats and juicy flavours. Barbecue is about friends gathering together and sharing good food in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. That’s what we aim to achieve in our locations, from the head chef to your server on the floor. Thanks for your custom and we hope you enjoy your visit.Smokin Bones is 100% Irish owned and apart from visiting any of our locations you can now enjoy our great smoked flavours at home. Order online for home delivery or visit our online shop and order our unique ‘BBQ in a Box’. Barbecue at home could not be easier.

A traditional steakhouse that focuses on Irish bred cattle and sustainable stock from rare breed herds that are traceable from farm to fork. Ribeye only use traditional Irish bred cattle and sustainable stock from rare breed herds that are traceable from farm to fork and that are a minimum of 60% plus genetic thoroughbreds. At Ribeye, we insist on all our beef being moderate to highly marbled to ensure the juiciest most flavoursome meat possible. During the cooking process, the marbling renders down leaving the meat full of flavour incredibly tender and so, so succulent!
