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!
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,
