    Fatback's, we cook our barbecue My son and I have been on a Dayton Area BBQ search, and we have dined at more than several Greater Dayton Metropolitan BBQ's with pleasure. We have chosen Not to rank order, and our number one favorite is Zinks Meats & Fine Wines in Centerville Ohio; Like the small intimate dining area, the entertainment, the clients and the BBQ. Today is time to explore and sample Fatback's BBQ. "...we cook our barbecue low and slow on fresh-seasoned hickory wood to bring out the natural flavors of our cuts of meat." Fatback's BBQ is not to be confused with fine dining.... Best to expect only basic ambience with a few tables and lots and lots of takeaway. Service is excellent. Reviews vary; "Excellent food, friendly, fast service. Potatoes were awesome!" "All they do throw some on grill cook it as fast can then slather in sauce the way Kroger does I was foolish to listen to idiot who knew was a idiot...." Caveat: always read reviews and check photos for ambience. Fatback's BBQ offers an "interesting" picnic ambience; not for my dear wife. We both ordered ribs in a ton of BBQ sauce. Very meaty, messy, and tasty. Lots and lots of BBQ pictures. This is great BBQ for Greater Dayton Metropolitan BBQ's and somewhat pricey. Rates number 2 in our book.

    Stopped in for date night dinner. I had a sliced brisket sandwich with mac and cheese and their roasted potatoes. My boyfriend had pulled pork with roasted potatoes. The real star was their warm and sweet sauce. A beautiful balance of sweetness, vinegar, and heat. They were so friendly!! You can tell they are proud of their product too. We got there 15 min before they were closing and were kind enough to let us dine in. Very clean dining room and kitchen. Lots of space to dine on the patio in front and another in back. Will definitely return!

    The food was great. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and green beans as my sides. The service was so good I called the restaurant after I left to thank them for the recommendation. I ordered the food to go and started to eat in the parking lot. It was so good I could barely get out of the parking lot. I will be back soon.

    I love this place…read more We're meeting up with the grandparents and me and the two Littles were sitting at the table, holding the table and one of the hostesses just walked up with a thing of fries and said would you guys like some fries. I didn't order them and it was good for the kiddos. That is caring how kids feel, that is Superior service. I love the atmosphere. It's very pro veteran and pro-American and it feels like a place where they love the things I love. They have excellent barbecue brisket barbecue pork. I love their sides. The corn is good. My sweetie says she is enjoying the biscuit and the green beans are like melting your mouth. She says she is really enjoying those. She's sampling the sauces as she works away through it. She likes the South Carolina one best so far cause she's a fan of the mustard. They have good options for the kiddos with mac & cheese or other kiddos centric sandwiches. They have small slider sandwiches for the kiddos. My oldest says this: the mac & cheese is not box mix. It is made in house. The pulled pork sandwich is very tasty. I'd like the smoky flavor. The waitress also brought out some Cajun corn samples, I'm not a very spice loving person. Corn was good, but I didn't finish it. All in all the food was tasty. My second oldest says: I got mac & cheese and it's really good. It is not box mix actually it's made of real cheese and I also got the turkey sandwich which is really tasty. It's not overcooked and it's not undercooked. It's like perfect and there's none of those disgusting micro plastic filled cheese in it, which is really nice. My mom gave me a bit of her cornbread and it's really sweet and also a bit savory too, which is like the perfect combination and it's it's pretty good. Grandma says the food is very good. She likes the seasonings on it. She got collard greens with it and says they are excellent. Personally, I'm pretty jealous because although I enjoyed the Cajun corn, I didn't know they had collard greens.

She was warm, energetic, and courteous. I had never tried their burger before, and I ordered the mac & cheese which I normally love, and a side salad to go with it. The burger was slightly under seasoned, but it was thick and juicy, and overall pretty good. The mac wasn't bad, it just didn't quite taste the same, but the salad was crisp and fresh. Decent experience at this location.

    A hidden gem in Dayton, of all places. I haven't had many Asian restaurants of any kind that tasted…read moreauthentic in Dayton, but this is one of the few. The noodles are actually made in-house and have a lovely texture. I got the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup and was definitely not disappointed. The broth is light, but full of flavor at the same time. It is truly very comforting on a cold winter night. I think the beef slices on there are a bit tough, but it's not too big of an issue. The portion sizes are actually crazy. I got the regular size and could finish maybe just half to 2/3 of the noodles, along with a majority of the beef. I can't imagine how massive the large bowl would be... For health, I also ordered some stir-fried bok choy. This was stir fried well, but I'm not really sure what the flavor profile was supposed to be. Is it garlic? Is it spicy? I couldn't really place it. The prices are very fair for the quality of food they provide, and service throughout the night was decent. I will probably be back again, if I visit Dayton!

Although the parking lot was full the line was amazingly quick. I wasn't sure what to get for the family packs, I just told the guys in back to make it awesome. They got us pulled pork, pulled chicken, beef brisket; we also got two sides of mac & cheese, two sides of scalloped potatoes, one side of applesauce, and one side of potato salad. It's really nice that they had some tables that could seat us all. It's a fun little down-home environment. My wife says: The beef brisket, pulled chicken, and potato salad are delicious. I found the scalloped potatoes a little bit salty. My oldest daughter says: all the meats were amazing. I really enjoyed the scalloped potatoes. The cornbread was delicious. My second oldest daughter says: she gives two thumbs up and smiles. She says she doesn't know what to say. Yay awkward teenage years. My second youngest daughter says: cornbread. I love the cornbread. I like the turnips. I like the chicken. That is all. My youngest daughter says: this mac & cheese is delicious. It is said in the enthusiasm that only a six-year-old can give. She points to the pulled pork and says she liked that too. Our family friend who is here says: umm. I don't know. They should've had plates. They gave us the food on these trays, but they didn't provide dishes. The food was good. The ambience was classy. So bottom line is it's a good place to bring Family, they can all eat their fill, and it's well roasted yummy meat.

It was kind of dangerous because they were pretty big pokey pieces of plastic that could have definitely got lodged in your neck or punctured something. I actually started to call them but then I thought you know they're just probably gonna apologize or offer me free food and am I ever gonna eat there again?? I think it's unlikely.

First impression? It definitely gives off biker bar vibes from the outside, but once you step inside, it's way more welcoming and laid back than you'd expect. Good atmosphere, friendly people, and the kind of place that feels like a hidden local favorite. I ordered the Biker Burger, and it absolutely delivered. The burger was juicy, flavorful, cooked perfectly, and packed with great taste in every bite. You can tell they care more about making good food than trying to be fancy. If you're making the trip to Buc-ee's and want something local instead of chain fast food, Rip Rap Roadhouse is definitely worth the stop. Great burger, cool atmosphere, and one of those places you're happy you discovered by accident.

Classic tavern setting but great outside deck & patio. Room for live music and both bar & restaurant seating. Service is casual and friendly but efficient and smooth. Food is casual but barbecue and smoked wings are where it is at! Homemade kettle chips are good & the onion rings are real & crunchy! Beer is cold & plentiful, and the bar is stocked. When I am going from west to east or north to south, this and the Buckhorn Tavern are my two must haves! Highly recommend!
