Was not impressed with Smoken Bones.

Oh, and it's cheap.My family of four can eat like kings for $40 and have lunch for the next day.
A friend of mine took a position at the new Zambri's in the Atrium and had the 'hard hat' tour yesterday. That building and it's food service tenants are going to be a juggernaut on the Victoria foods scene.

I tried Smoken Bones a little bit ago, ordered the BBQ Taster for $38.
First off the pork ribs(6) were tough and not very meaty, the beef ribs(2)
were not very meaty and everything including the brisket and the pulled pork were slathered with BBQ sauce. This had the effect of making everything taste the same, which wasn't particularly good. There was enough for two of us but only because neither of us liked it very much.
I won't go back there - maybe I will try Pig and see what they offer.
Is ordering it without the BBQ sauce sacrilegious? I recall going to a BBQ joint in Vancouver on Broadway and they didn't put sauce on the pulled pork.

I have much respect for Ken Hueston at Smoken Bones.

The atmosphere is great -- simple, yet refined. Obviously the team has learned a lot from operating the Colwood location for some time so the switch from the tiny closet of a space on View to a much larger eat-in operation appears to have gone smoothly.
Lots of people from different walks of life were dining there when I popped in at around 7:30.
I also noticed that they will be open as late as 10PM, 7 days a week. This may change as the operators gauge activity throughout the winter months.

My wife got the BBQ spaghetti, which is just pasta mixed with a huge (like over half the mass) amount of pulled pork and their sauce. They don't skimp on the meat.
I think their coleslaw has improved as well.

Don't they know that Victoria goes to sleep at 9? Especially anything casual east of Douglas on a weekday.
Hope it catches on and others follow.

7-days might be a stretch but hopefully they can nail down clientele to stay open most nights until 10PM.
