NORWICH – Smokin' Bones BBQ, on Route 12 North of Norwich, brings its flavorful barbecue favorites and delicious sides to the Norwich area.

Opened in November of 2014 at the intersection of Route 12 and King Settlement Rd. in Norwich, Smokin' Bones BBQ offers a full take-out, eat-in, and catering menu six days a week – closed on Sundays.

Owner, Joel Mathis, and his crew of four offer a mouth watering menu of BBQ favorites, and tasty sides – all of which are made from scratch. Smokin' Bones offers barbecue chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and “phenomenal” burgers. They also offer a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, and chicken spiedie subs. Smokin' Bones uses a homemade dry-rub with a secret blend of herbs and spices for all of its slow cooked barbecue favorites.

Some of the highlights of Smokin' Bones' side menu are their baked beans, mac and cheese, and potato and macaroni salads. The baked bean recipe is an old family recipe. “It's an old family recipe,” said Mathis. “It comes from my grandmother in Iowa and we use three different types of beans to make it.” Smokin' Bones also put a clever twist on the classic mac and cheese recipe by using smoked gouda to give the dish a little extra. They even make homemade barbecue potato chips now.
