Smokey Bones
Smokey Bones is a chain of "fire grills" started by Darden Restaurant Group in 1999. The restaurants serve items cooked on a fire grill. Some locations include a sports bar.
Darden expanded the chain to 128 locations across the United States; however the concept did not catch fire and they closed most of the locations.
Darden sold the chain to Barbeque Integrated Inc., an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners in 2007.
The new owners took several years to regroup and didn't begin adding new stores until 2015. They had 66 restaurants when I visited the site in 2019.
Unfortunately doesn't include a list of locations. They have a location map that requires users to look up each city.
