Eating out with Friends and Family in Halifax: Boneheads BBQ

We are taking it upon ourselves to eat out in different local businesses and share our experiences with you to help you try new restaurants and support local!

Here’s what the website says:

Halifax’s original BBQ joint! Smokin’ it up low n’ slow every day! Boneheads opened because of a passion for and an obsession with Barbecue. We work hard to create an authentic Southern BBQ experience. We take great pride in the food we serve and how we prepare it, using fresh and local ingredients whenever possible. We hope that you enjoy eating it as much as we enjoy making it!

We had just finished a visit at Pier 21 Museum and needed a place to eat. We had been to Boneheads on Barrington Street years ago, and decided to check it out again, now that the kids were older.

We are never disappointed.

There were a lot of choices on the menu, but we decided upon a chicken poutine, ripper dog and two brisket buns. All with a side of fries.

On the tables are a choice of sauces and a big roll of paper towel. You will need it!

Kids

There is no kids’ menu, but lots of things on the menu kids will enjoy, or consider just getting them a side.

Some of the meat is “spicy” because of the barbecue sauces, so make sure you ask about mild choices, or just stick to a poutine for fussier or taste-sensitive kids.

Boneheads is a carnivore’s paradise, and it’s good to the last drop!
