Smokey Bones Now Has $5 Lunches

Seth Cardoza — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:49:42 +0000

Smokey Bones is offering $5 lunches Monday through Friday, from 11am to 2pm, for a limited time. The selection is limited (see below), and only available for dine in. Basically it’s a way to get you in the door, hoping you buy a soda along with the meal, or even a beer or two. And, of course, you’ll have to add a tip as well.

Monday
- Baked potato and salad
- Chicken Caesar lunch salad
Tuesday
- Classic burger
- Southwest chicken lunch salad
Wednesday
- Avocado turkey burger
- Steak and spinach lunch salad
Thursday
- Soup and sandwich
- Nutty chicken lunch salad
Friday
- Buffalo chicken sandwich
- Cool turkey Cobb lunch salad

I assume since they specify “lunch salad” every time that this means it is a smaller portion than usual, but it will probably still be plenty for a lunch.
