Very disappointing. We went there Saturday. The wait was an hour, which is OK as that is expected in Blacksburg. The beer was fine, not great but OK.The food itself was really unremarkable. We ordered two nachos for the table, and honestly, 7-11 nachos are better. From their menu the nachos are "tortilla chips covered with pulled pork orsmoked chicken, smoked cheese sauce,jalapeños, and BBQ sauce." Far from it. We received dry, stale tortilla chips, a few drizzles of a Velveeta type cheese, and chunks of chicken that were obviously dumped out of a can. Not pulled chicken, just elementary cafeteria chicken chunks, completely unseasoned. The nachos were "covered" with BBQ sauce. In fact, they brought the sauce in a plastic containers! Other than 7-11, i have never had to pour my own sauce on nachos.We also got the tuna sashmi which was marginal (but what do you expect buying raw tuna 6 hours from the coast) and chicken wings. The wings were actually pretty good.I would not recommend going here unless everything else is absolutely packed, then you would still be better off going to Kroger and making your own nachos and dinner!

You go to a restaurant for the food and Bull & Bones doesn't disappoint. Their treatment of meats and their beer selection is very good. Service has always been good and the atmosphere is nice.

Christiansburg, VA. location. I'm in the area for work I found this place online I ordered a half pound of ribs to go when I got back to the room with my food I was given 5 ribs burnt to a crisp they were completely inedible, the ribs were like tree bark. This is shameful.

I recently went to the Blacksburg location in Virginia. It was the worst experience I've ever encountered in my 8 years of going to this establishment. I saw the name of the manager on duty and his name was Robert B. He was nasty towards his employees and the meal came out raw and was served to us very rudely. When asked to speak to the manager Robert B. He told my table and me to get over it and we could find somewhere else to go eat. He looks very intoxicated his words were slurry and face was red as a fire hydrant. I would never recommend this to anyone to eat at this establishment ever again. I saw how he talked to an employee and I could hear him using profane language as well as smelling like marijuana on the clock . This is not a professional environment and this manager like professionalism that made me cringe and my whole family was very disappointed. The server we had was excellent and amazing which made up for the poor management that was on shift that night. I don't understand how Bull and Bones could go such downhill and such a short period of time due to a manager who lacked empathy and would not remake our food and told us that it was what we ordered when clearly it was not. I had to give one star because that was the lowest star you could give however I wish there was a star for zero because that is what I experienced that this location. I will never return again unless management changes.

This was one of the most disappointing meals I have ever had. The beer that I wanted of course was tapped out. The Mac & cheese w/pulled pork was served cold, the cheese wasn't even melted. I sent it back and it was still slightly warmer but let's face it I wouldn't have trusted it if sent back again. They obviously had no work ethic or professionalism. The manager didn't even check on us after the food was sent back. I would strongly recommend not wasting your money or time with the poor food, service or lack of should I say.

Ignore the bad reviews and go and check it out for yourself. BBQ is great! The service was spot on also. Portion sizes are big so you might want to share.

After a few visits over the past years, I’ll say they’ve had their ups and downs.For the sake of brevity, I’ll touch on what i believe to be the pro’s and con’s of this establishment.PROS: Friendly & Personable service, cold beer, large bar area, plenty of tables. Lots of pool tables. Great burgers, bartenders do well for generic cocktail options.CONS: Service can be slow at times, especially away from the bar. Not many beers on tap. Some menu items lack flavor. Bartenders aren’t well versed or trained on more specialty cocktails.Otherwise, fair prices and alright food for a small town. In a place where we aren’t offered many options, this is a solid choice for a weekend stop in. Thurs - Sun would be your best bet, slow otherwise. Great place to watch a game!

Bulls and Bones is dear to our heart since it was part of our first date memories from 12 years ago. In addition, have visited several times and have had good experiences. Unfortunately we did not have a great experience this past Saturday. We were charged $10 each for a wristband band to enjoy the entertainment, which was fine he was really good. At the same time we noticed tons of people were not charged. Even the customer beside us told the employee he was eating and leaving but he stayed an additional hour. Bartenders were awful. As I walked I turned to my husband and said just warning you service will not be good. I could tell from their facial expressions and actions. No smiles at all. They were working like crazy with the amount of people they were serving. People came in and were served before us. We asked one bartender for a refill she unpleasantly said one sec. She came back 30 minutes later. There is more I can say but my husband and I were trying to be patient so we can enjoy our night. Just wished they had better customer service especially since we were not annoying and demanding as the group of rowdy 15 behind us. We moved a few seats down because of this group and of the stagnant water smell they were washing all glasses in. My husband could smell the water and continuously we watched employees dip glasses in the water and then place on drying rack. First, I don't know that's a way to wash glasses including in stagnant water. We mentioned to bartender and she just walked away and whispered to coworker. My husband quit ordering anything in glass and ordered beer in a bottle. We hope to visit again and not have the same experience.
