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.

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. After ordering my food and getting my table, I wasn't able to get a YouTube video picked out before the food was already dropped off. All jokes aside it was less than 2 minutes. I had a pulled pork platter with baked beans, and potato salad. The pork was great and the sides even better. Fresh banana pudding too. Small building but nice atmosphere. I'll come here before I ever go to a BBQ chain if I'm in Dayton.

We visited Farback's after reading good reviews, but we were disappointed. This is mediocre BBQ at best. I would compare it to BBQ I would get in a cafeteria setting. Sadly, won't be going back.

Without a doubt the best beef brisket I have ever had, and I am from the South. Bob will go far with his business, and rightly so.

Looked up this place before going on our little trip to Dayton and sooooo glad I went! It's a small…read morespot that's connected to an Asian mart and bubble tea shop. There was plenty of parking and signage. They have a varied and very authentic menu to choose from! We ordered a broth based lo mein noodle bowl and a hand pulled cold dry noodle bowl. BF added on a braised egg and I ordered a Taiwanese sausage on a stick. Yum on all accounts! Chili oil was automatically brought to us and the waitress was super friendly as well as bilingual. Food was brought out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. YES!! presentation and taste were perfect. Their prices and portions are reasonable and I love everything about this place, down to their cat portraits adorning the walls! Wish this place opened a location in Cleveland! I saw that they have spots in Cincy and Cbus!!

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! Food: 4.5/5 Price: 4.75/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5

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.

More than just Burgers, Meatloaf with mashed potatoes like home…read moreService was right on time always keeping a eye on your table The early years it was McNasty's Dickey Bell converted an old Barn's lower level into a bar serving draft beer in mason jars and live music Its popularity grew into what it is today surviving a couple of different owners. The baseball/softball fields, horseshoe pits and volleyball courts provide healthy entertainment along with live music Unless you're a BIKER I'd pass on Wednesdays otherwise great for Sunday afternoon with the family nice ice cream parlor

Really cool place -- a classic on northside of Dayton & easy to access off of I-70 or I-75…read more Officially between Huber Heights & Vandalia but really just outside North Dayton off of Little York Road & Waggoner Ford. 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!
