Gatlinburg’s most loved barbeque spot was originally opened by lifelong Smoky Mountain resident Jim Ogle and in 2019 the torch was passed on to Jim’s nephew Alex Davis. Alex is a highly skilled chef out of Kansas City and he has brought his culinary gifts to Gatlinburg to add a little KC twist to the grub at Bones BBQ. Alex and his staff work daily to provide a warm and welcoming place dining spot for both locals and guests in Gatlinburg. The staff is friendly and are always happy to help you out with any questions you may have about the menu. The next time you’re in the Smokies stop by and say hello.
