Been eating at Hometown Heroes for years, and should have done this long ago. Absolutely the best chicken wings in our area. The family that runs the place brings a lot of charm and pleasantry to their business. They always welcome you with that "Hometown" warmth and energy. Tonight they credited my son a couple games of bowling so he was extra happy. Food is always great, the daily specials are creative and fresh. If you want a truly hometown pub vibe, with great food and vibes, look no further than Hometown Heroes! read more

Kari's Rating 8.75/10 -not my kinda place, but I can appreciate it for what it is which is why I gave it a 4 -Servers are sweet n this place has charm Stopped by here as we were waiting for the pizza place across the street-there were many people watching the hometown parade. It was packed on a Friday with tons of people. I've seen this in the kind of place you drop in where the bartender would have story upon the story and she would watch your kids grow up. Overall a cute place, if you like the older vintage vibe. The decor was interesting, it had a lot of random high school trophies, has used musical instruments, and even a claw machine! The people were quite characters here as well-many people seemed like locals and families. Cute little place with fast service. I can tell it's a gem in the town. read more

Great place for drinks and great food, make sure to ask about the specials. Always seems to have the games on the TVs, I'll definitely be back! read more

Great local spot! Everything I have had here is delicious. Be sure to check out the daily specials on Facebook when you're planning your trip. Remember this is a local spot, so it probably won't be a quick in and out on a weekend. read more

Good food & homey atmosphere. Highly recommend Hometown Heroes! My hubby knows the owner & he knows how hard the owner has worked to get & keep HH going. read more

We went here with a couple of friends for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant is seat yourself and has more of a bar vibe than a restaurant. The place is family run so all of the family is there in one facet or another. This is a little bit to a detriment because the service was a little slower than we would have wanted. Now we did have appetizers, but from when we got there to when we got our entree it was around 40 minutes. The food though was amazing. Quite possible the largest boneless wings I have ever seen and they were all solid hunks of meat not junk wings with filler and breading like you see at more chain places. The fries were also very delicious because they had the little breading that made them extra crispy. Overall, I look forward to coming back to try all of their sauces! read more

Talk about a hidden gem, omg this place is AMAZING!! I had not been in years until recently, and I was like what is wrong with me, why haven't I been here? Some of the most amazing food you will find anywhere, they have homemade specials daily, and a large variety of other homemade items! Friday and Saturday are steak nights, I highly recommend the Saturday steak bites special. It's the best tasting steak I've ever had for the money!! Definitely stop by, you will not regret it! read more

A pleasant surprise! Their steaks were cooked perfectly and well priced! My only issue was my special that I ordered seemed to be smaller than the regular steak the wife got, and my butter was noplace to be seen even if it had melted 100% by the time we got it home. I would have given them 5 stars but I guess something missed my mark that I can't quite put my finger on. read more

This is a pretty good local, home cookin', style restaurant. It was Friday during Lent, so we had fish sandwiches! They were HUGE and delicious. We also had the cheese sticks (chees bombs) and they were everything you want, including "molten cheese hot" so be careful with your first bite! The service was a little slow which is why the review is Good instead of Great. We will go there again to try the wings and burgers as well as other items on the menu, as they all sound great. read more

Some Service from this place is a joke. Crystal is rude and argumentative. If something is wrong with your order she treats you like it's your fault they cooked your steak well when you ordered it med rare. When I left a message about my order being messed up bc this steak is suppose to be med rare and clearly med well. I was met with rudeness. I frequently go there but now will be avoiding it read more

Service is great Food above the rest Figure on setting down And enjoying a great hamburger And fries Thought I would be bringing home a go box but after I got our food Could not stop It was spectacular read more

Came here hungry left happy. now when you think bar food one would go for the goetta tots or the wings or even a burger but the steak here is fantastic. Seasoned very well, sides are amazing, and it's definitely cooked with love. Best bar steak night ever! but I do recommend goetta tots extra onion . read more

Hometown Heroes - a plate of steak, beans, and a side of beans - Sports Bars Near Me - Dayton, Kentucky

Their boneless and traditional wings are solid. The price is amazing. If you wait for their wing specials on Wed and Thur, it's even better (10 boneless wings for $6!). Their boneless wings are massive. Imagine three or four average fast food chicken nuggets combined and covered in a wing sauce. They can almost be too big - they are occasionally a little dry. They are usually generous with the wing sauce you ask for though so there's plenty to dip it in. All of that said, you have to get their ooey gooey fries. The goetta + queso topping is disgustingly amazing. Word of caution though: this is the heaviest dish I've ever eaten. Thick potatoes covered in thick cheese topped with thick goetta. It's incredibly tasty, but best shared or eaten in small portions if you got wings. In other words, don't do what I did and try eating the appetizer of ooey gooey fries and 10 boneless wings and think you'll be able to stand up and walk away afterwards. read more

Good food and the support the owners give to their community is amazing. It's hard not to support this place with both qualities. The blackened chicken bites are my favorite! Caution when ordering the boneless wings. You get more than your money's worth. It will require a to go box if your not sharing a large, unless you're hungry. It's one of my favorites to visit. I live 35-40 minutes away so it's worth a visit. read more

I'm definitely looking for a new regular spot to eat close to home. I've been meaning to check out Hometown Heroes since last September but kept forgetting or my schedule didn't line up or whatever. I may have found my new home away from home. The minute I walked in, I was greeted with a smile by Jade and Jacelyn, who were standing behind the bar countertop. I told them I was new and they told me to sit wherever I wanted. Jade brought me the menu and told me the specials. Jacelyn chimed in that the Mac and Cheese was to die for and that I should consider it as a side if I got the steak tips special. I love how casual, yet friendly the place is. I did order that steak special, which came with a side salad (hold the tomato!), a generous portion of sirloin steak (and a side of A1), and one side. Jacelyn wasn't lying; the Mac and Cheese was cheesy, hot, and cooked perfectly. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to mac; I loved it and it was exactly what you would expect from a place like this. I chatted with the two young women about the place and the neighborhood. It was as if I was in their personal dining room; I felt so welcome. After I was done, they asked what I thought and suggested that next time I try the wings. I'm leaving a job with a ton of co-workers to engage with every night to work from home alone and I'm worried about getting enough socialization to keep me sane. I need to find a place I can go where "everyone knows my name," as it were. (I'm fine if they just shout "Norm" when I walk in.) Hometown Heroes may be just the fix I need. read more

Food was very good. One worker out front. Not super friendly or attentive but sufficient. Typical dive bar. Would love to go back when they have music. read more

The cheese bombs were the bomb! Wonderful wings, Paradise Chicken sandwich absolutely AMAZING and breakfast burger hot n flavorful. Also had the fish n hush puppies onion rings and hometown hero burger!! Great place to eat!! read more

This is a review of my two trips to this place. The first time went great second was a disaster. The first review can be read at the bottom of this section where I gave them 4 stars. The 2 stars i give it now is a mix of the 4 stars I gave it first and the one star I gave it the second time we went. My wife and an went for the wings and we ordered 10 each and an app of fried pickles. 45 min later no food. There was only like 5 other tables in the place. The server said it was coming right out. 15 min later after an hour of waiting we walked out. As we did we walked past the kitchen where I looked in and they were making 3 burgers. Our food had not even been started yet???? As we walked out the door all we got was a sorry from the server. It's to bad Cus there wings really are good. When you can get them. Home town heroes is a fun little sports bar in Dayton KY With great wings! My wife and i split a cheese burger, wings and the nachos. The wings were outstanding. And the ultimate nachos were very good. The burger was average. There is a few things they could Have done to the burger to make it great. Like toast the bun and maybe season the meat a bit. The service was good and very friendly. And they had TVS every place. We sat out side and still was able to watch the football game. read more

Came late on a Thursday night about an hour before they closed . They were more then happy to serve us . The burgers are crazy good , and so are the oouey goouey fries . Can't wait to come back and try different things . If your close it's a must . read more

Great fish but it would be better if you could place an order in a timely manner (not call for 45 minutes) and get an order that's more than 75% right. Disappointing that the easiest things like taking an order and delivering what was ordered cannot be delivered upon. read more

The fiancé and I wanted some comfort food one night recently so turned to Yelp. We live in Bellevue but had never heard of Hometown Hero's. Given the decent reviews, we gave it a try. I was not overly impressed with my boneless wings- I ordered 10, received 9, so not a great start. They were large, but were also very dry on the inside, clearly overcooked. They didn't have much of a batter on them either, so the outside was just tough chicken. The fiancé was very happy with his regular wings though, so those were a solid choice. We also got an order of fried pickles. but they were way too salty. I mean, pickles themselves are on the salty side, but I really wish the batter had been salt free to make up for that. Otherwise, the portion was large and the batter was crisp. Both the blue cheese and ranch were really good and tasted homemade. I would consider coming back, but would definitely skip the pickles and boneless wings. read more

UPDATE 2: they've refreshed their menu (pics uploaded) to feature all of their previously hidden gems. Cheese curds and ooey gooey fries with goetta are a must! Also, they offer a significant amount of outdoor seating and a place to play cornhole if you want! Oh... I also FINALLY tried the burger (couldn't bear to get anything but the wings for the longest time) and it is SOOO FRICKIN GOOD. read more

Lives up to their name. Placed a carry out and they delivered a whole new meal. Received my nightmare salad, iceberg lettuce and cheese. It was an honest mistake and they came thru with the best chef salad! Might be the ranch... read more

The perfect place to come any night of the week. They have specials every single day. I recommend their wings!

Great chicken wings, beers, and atmosphere. All the prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly. In the heart of historic Dayton It's main Street district, the location is easily walkable or parking nearby. Back patio for nicer days, hometown heroes is a solid place to grab a bite and watch a game. read more

Once again Hometown Heroes scored! The prime rib is perfectly cooked, seasoned well and there is an ample portion. The cheesy potatoes are a great side. I am grateful to be a carnivore and have them (Hometown Heroes) just a few blocks away. My thanks to all who were responsible for preparing my meal and delivering. read more

I ordered a burger and was blown away at how good it was. It's easily one of the best bang-for-your-buck burgers in NKY. As great as the burger was, the star of the show was the chili cheese fries. Holy cow, the chili is great! It's Cincinnati style chili that tastes very close to Skyline but a bit meatier. Even after stuffing myself with a burger and chili cheese fries, I regret not getting an order of wings. I saw and smelled the wings on the table behind me and they looked and smelled amazing. I overhead the people at the table oooing and aahing about how good they were. Next time. read more

Great little local dive. They people are nice and welcoming. The drinks are cold, plentiful, and inexpensive. They have food specials on occasion that I've never had, but it's a cute spot and local Dayton business I'll support! read more

This is great place to just meet up with your friends for appetizers and drinks or to just have a nice dinner with your family. My children enjoyed dining on the back patio and playing Jenga. The service was great and Stinging Honey wings are AMAZING!!! read more
