Editorial Review for Rolling Bones BBQ – by Kevin Forest Moreau
The Scene
Filling-station chic meets a Johnny Rockets-like retro vibe in this neighborhood barbecue joint. The cozy dining room is a bright, clutter-free stab at greasy-spoon decor (an old-school Coca-Cola sign sits above a counter flanked by padded stools), which nicely contrasts with the homey, backyard feel of the central patio. Chipper servers keep the order line moving, but famished downtown professionals and nearby Cabbagetown residents don't mind the wait, as they're free to watch their orders being prepared in a small, sparkling kitchen.
The Food
Don't be fooled by the Styrofoam containers; this isn't throwaway barbecue. Pork ribs strike a perfect balance of tenderness and flavor, while fall-off-the-bone chicken is agreeably seasoned and sports a savory outer skin. Chopped pork, salty and swimming in sauce (hot or mild, both tangy), is a delight. Hearty french fries and zesty mustard greens stand out among the sides.

Insider Tips
Where to SitThe small dining room can get a bit cramped; when weather permits, opt instead for the roomier patio in front.
Save MoneyThe combos (especially the three-way, your choice of three different meats) are a bargain and perfect for sharing.
ParkingThere are only a handful of spaces, and this stretch of Edgewood can be dodgy at night. Take advantage of the efficient drive-through window.

3 years ago my cousin refered me to Rollin Bones and I loved it second to Fatt Matts. I met one of the owners and got the history of the new business and made this my joint for BBQ. After being away for a period of time, I returned craving for the brisket sandwich on one visit and the ribs on another but walked away very disappointed both times - with the service and the food. Now being from Texas, I was raised in a small city that mastered the craft of smoked BBQ ribs, chicken, brisket, baked beans and potato salad. Stubbs BBQ. I don't know what happened, but I won't be returning to Rollin Bones. I'm going back to Fatt Matts. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Pros: Clean
Cons: Parking

This is the worst BBQ that I have ever had. The sauce is horrible too. An all fairness, I thought the greens were pretty good. The negative reviews done in 2007,in my opinion, represents the food at Rolling bones. I don't understand the positive ratings for this place. I tried this place once and some of my co-workers have eaten at Rollin Bones. They thought the food was awful too. Don't waste your money. For great BBQ try One Star Ranch or Fatt Matts.
