Baby back ribs with a blueberry chipotle rub, jalepeno cheese grits , damn good corn pudding with poblano peppers and corn , and a mandatory side of cornbread .

We were visiting because we saw this documentary about the barbecue trail and learned that Obama was here! We were not disappointed: great BBQ , also you have to try the corn pudding ! It’s amazing!

Lauren Drogos

The side plate is a vegetarian feast. Corn pudding , sweet potatoes , jalapeño cheese grits , cole slaw and corn bread . Delicious!

Is it Foundy or Foundry Street. Pulled pork sandwich(yellow tangy sauce ), 3 spiced apple ribs(wow!),beans. Mac n Cheese would never be served with lobster(Velveeta?); cmon, everything else is so good.

Caroline Schmitt

for vegetarians , the MLT is absolutely killer, and don't forget some BBQ sauce to dip the crust in. generous portions - the cheese grits and sweet potatoes are excellent.

Wael Hazzazi

Get the sliced brisket with the raw onions along with mac & cheese and the corn pudding ????????

Chris Moore

The 5 Riverside Dr location is now closed. 12 Bones will reopen in February 2017 at a new location at 5 Foundy St which is just a little south of the old location off Lyman Rd.

This is Asheville BBQ . Great prices, huge portions . Owned by two culinary school graduates, it shows. Local beer taps. Only open Mon-Fri from 11am-4, lines are usually shorter in the late afternoon.

Blueberry chipotle ribs aren't as out there as it sounds - they're delicious. Don't skip the corn pudding .

The sides. Wow the sides. Corn pudding , smoked potato salad , greens, etc... super good. Didn't venture outside the regular ribs .

Call ahead and get take-out. You get to by-pass the line and go straight to the pick up line . Then, go across the street to Curve studios & garden and have a nice picnic .

The corn pudding tastes just like your grandma was in the back making it. Home cooked goodness!

The place for NC style barbecue in Asheville. Almost every local brewery is on tap . Try one of each and some sweet potato casserole

The turkey is the best! Ask for a side of blueberry chipotle sauce !! Yummm

Benjamin Kintner

Really disappointing bbq . Ribs only show smoke ring on the bottom half, yet come steaming hot to the table. Poor smoking combined with steaming/microwaving to finish = flavorless and tough bbq .

Felix L

Ribs , brisket , all of it

Debbie Milner

Everything is great!
