    Main food menu

    There were 6 of us for this visit. Most of the food was good. The salad entrees are huge! If you get one you'll be taking some home. The potato salad was unusual and tasty. Burgers and sandwiches were small. They do have more beverages than beer. There are wine choices and some cocktails. I would not recommend the bread pudding, it was dry and no sauce, just some sliced apples on top. Our server seemed to be not interested in serving us and was lukewarm at best. She did nothing wrong but it just seemed like we were a burden.

    Pulled Pork and Fries

    In Q1 of 2025, Carillon Brewing underwent an overhaul of its kitchen and teamed up with Dayton Barbecue Company. We visited recently to try some of the BBQ. The building is really cool and full of history. There is plenty of space indoors, including an upstairs loft area and separate room on the main level for events. They have a small beer garden in the back with outdoor seating. We tried two classics, a pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich. For sides, we went with fries and mac & cheese. There are three different BBQ sauces -- regular, spicy, and mustard based. Unfortunately, the food was quite a let down. BBQ was mushy, lacked flavor and tasted like something you would get from a baseball game -- I call it "ballpark BBQ". Sounds good and looks alright, but tastes like it was microwaved out of a bag. The fries were the highlight, as they had a nice crisp. The sauces were pretty good, and I preferred the mustard based one. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the ambience/decor, but the food just didn't do it for us.

    Stopped in during a bike ride with my BFF. We stopped in for a beer and some fries. We were seated as soon as we walked in. The service was excellent and we took advice about what to get and share. We got the loaded fries and a beer. Both were very tasty and I will be happy to come back even if driving a car. Definitely worth the beer and BBQ.

    I've been craving brisket and my boyfriend suggested this location at the best in Dayton. We were and I loved the ambiance and old time feel of the place. I rated it 3 stars because the brisket is amazing. Why it's not 5 stars is because we found plastic in our greens and no one really cared. I captured a pic of the Mac and cheese that was runny. We were told the mac took too long to cook in the stove so they choice to cook the macaroni on top of the stove. It's extremely disappointing because the base is good. The dismissal we received regarding our recommendation was dismissed. I recommend the brisket. There was also an historic area. It was definitely something.

    Carillion Brewing is just one of the features in Carillion Park located near Dayton, OH. The park museum features many exhibits and displays. You'll need several hours to cover the entire place. The museum features exhibits from the many industries that flourished in the Dayton area. Cars, machinery, scientific research organizations, cash registers, etc, etc. There is a operating merry go round inside for the kids and an outdoor train ride that takes about 15 minutes to travel around the perimeter of the park. Several restaurants are available and one features an operating brewery. Plenty of free parking. Many historically important structures have been relocated here and it is the home of the Wright Brothers Museum which is run by the National Park Service. The admission fee is $15 for adults and $12 for seniors.

    The interior is so amazing

    It has been a long time since I tried this place. New ownership of fabulous location. The food is a marked improvement and the service was very prompt. the burnt ends were very good. The beers I tried a flight were a bit of a disappointment. They were average at best

    Love the outdoor seating where you can sit and watch the train go by at Carillon Park. Several beers on the menu as well as some sodas made in house. There is a food menu and we opted for a quick snack of a pretzel which was nice. Loved being able to stop here after our visit to Carillon Park

    The #1 wings in Dayton. :)

    Love the establishment! Super happy that Eric of Dayton Barbeque Company was taking over the menu at Carillon Brewing because I've enjoyed the brisket we've picked up when they were located closer to our home at HVO. So we we went there earlier in the year when they had their warm opening and enjoyed every bit of it but.... I couldn't figure out how to write that review because it was early in the process and DBC and Carillon brewing were what appeared to be completely isolated. What brought me here this day were the wings! The lovely Mrs told me they won the #1 wings at this year's, "Kickin' Chicken Wing'fest' so I had to try them. Showed up mid day on Friday, sat at the bar and let's start out with I love how this place is set up. Very rustic and the aromas of barbeque smoking in the air are so pleasant. Bar tender was super friendly and attentive. For my order in and received quickly. They share the bottles of sauces to me but to me, I am there to just enjoy the smoked wings.... they were a little dry but, seriously tasty!! Were they my all time favorite wings? Nope, but I've been to some of the best in the country. These would be for sure in the top 5. Will I go back? Yep! but for the brisket and pork belly. Support local folks!

    Such a great atmosphere and delicious food. The manager was especially nice and had fun chatting with my boys- challenging my oldest to eat all his chicken strips! I highly recommend this place!!

    A++++++. Amazing Berndt ends. Salad amazing too. Highly recommended. Best place I've been to in several months.

    Great place to grab a bite and a beer. The menu isn't large but it is high quality. Beers are made on site and are tasty. Decor is authentic and they brew beer like they did in 1860. Basically a throwback to frontier life. Staff was really nice and very efficient. Try this place. You'll be happy you did.

    Disappointed. We went on a double date night to try Dayton BBQ. We had a reservation at 7pm. No problem getting in. Atmosphere was really cool. Lots of brick and wood. Cool vibes. Not a huge beer selection which seemed odd for a brewing company. My husband got a porter and was not impressed at all. Our server was nice/friendly. They were out of cornbread and the brisket board. My husband ordered the ribs with mac n cheese and a side salad. He said the mac n cheese was grainy and the ranch dressing was runny. However, the salad was a good portion size which was good because the ribs were so hard and cold he had to send them back and they removed them from our bill. They offered more ribs or something else, but he refused. I ordered the 3 meat (brisket, pulled pork, and pork belly burnt ends) with green beans and harvest roasters. The pork belly was decent, the pulled pork was ok, but the brisket was cold and hard and I couldn't even eat it. The green beans were good and the harvest roaster potatoes were good. Our friends tried the cole slaw and did not enjoy it. This was a one and done for us. I have had way better bbq other places.

    Ginger Pale Ale.

    Unlike any other brewery I've been to. Employees are dressed like the 19th century. It's part of the historical park. Beautiful lawn and peaceful area. No TV's because here were none in the 1800's. Very close proximity to the University of Dayton. Food is good as well as the beer. Plenty of free parking. I'm not from the area but always look forward to coming here.

This weekend we went to the Cellarbration 2026 held at this location. Every couple of years, they crack open a few treasures and share some special releases. This year, they had 22 choices, including my husband's favorite Warped Wing beer of all time, the 2019 Baltic Porter, aged in port wine barrels. We split a trio of sliders and a specialty flavor of wings, Honey Butter Buffalo, which were especially good. We liked all 3 sliders, but the stand out was the pulled pork...absolutely delicious! Because of the event, it was pretty busy at noon but the staff kept things cleared and cleaned. The bathrooms were clean but bare bones. It was quite loud for lunchtime but nothing that would keep us from returning.

My wife and I came here for our anniversary and it was so relaxing, with the sun setting over the western horizon and the Barn not to packed it was a perfect night. The Brew Barn is awesome with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and that really cool modern barn vibe that we all love. With a great menu with pizza, shareable (like 10 barrel pretzel or totchos) to handhelds (cheesesteaks, shrimp tacos or pulled pork to name a few) the menu will have you licking your chops like your favorite K9 back home. All pizzas are brick oven and they do have some stadium dogs too if that the fixing you are looking for. They have happy hour Tuesday - Thursday 3pm-5pm, Friday 11am-5pm and Sunday 9am-8pm. Also on Sunday they have a buffet for lunch from 9am-noon. This location is probably my favorite because it isn't in the city, surrounded by lots of noise, it's off the beaten path and the road less traveled. The service is great and they are super welcoming. Head out to Maria Stein for a slower Saturday or Sunday afternoon and enjoy the original Moeller Brew Barn, it's a great delight.
