12 Bones Smokehouse is one of my favorite resturants in asheville. When I went I had the brown sugar ribs and macaroni and cheese. It was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The servce was great and the people are so nice and friendly. I will DEFENITLY be coming back here!

You know a place is good when you see tourists, firemen, construction workers, locals, and office folks all there at the same time. Don't be put off by the line...it goes pretty quickly.

12 Bones serves up the best ribs. The ambiance is cinder-block rustic, the food is served on tin plates at picnic tables and it's as good as it gets!
