Turns out I never had GOOD ribs until today! They should call this place "Hog Heaven". The ribs…read morewere very tender, but not dried out like so many places serve them. The baked beans were fantastic - made with some cinnamon and other yummy spices. The cornbread was delicious too. The owner took our order, then came out to chat for a while while we were eating. Very fun guy. Ambiance was not fancy but pretty cute nonetheless: lots of piggy statues and old fashioned metal signs. It's not a large restaurant; a lot of their business is carry out. We'll definitely be back!

Are you looking for high quality BBQ in the Dayton area? Look no farther than Fatback's Barbecue…read more Simple menu, but with all the traditional favorites. You can order just the sandwich (comes with chips and a pickle slice) or as a platter (comes with two sides). We tried the pulled pork and chopped brisket sandwiches. Sauce choices include sweet, warm, hot, vinegar or mustard. We tried the sweet and warm. Chopped brisket sandwich was amazing. We liked the warm sauce better than the sweet, but would also be interested in trying the other sauces next time. Aside from the food, the inside has some awesome old school decor and the staff was super friendly. After having it for lunch, I genuinely wanted to go back the same day for dinner -- it's that good.

The place is super tiny so do not plan on having a table or seat inside the store, they do have a couple tables on the side of the building and they also mentioned that we could also sit at the picnic tables behind the ice cream store next door. The brisket is a bit different as they chop it all up and put in a warming tin. We are so used to me getting point(fatty part of brisket) and the lovely Mrs getting her flat(less fatty). I got the baked beans & greens with ham. Both were pretty good. Go see these folks and support a local family.

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

This was husband's first time eating here while I've been here twice with friends. He must've enjoyed it because he ate all of the noodles and sipped half of the broth! I could only finish half and took leftovers home, which is typical. Serving size is generous and food is always temperature hot and flavorful. I try to order something different from the menu each time I visit. This is the first time I remembered to take pictures of what we ordered. Food smells and looks so good I forget .

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 very off-putting and dangerous. Grossed me out and I doubt I'll be back. 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. I hope it was an accident not someone intentionally doing this.

While heading to Buc-ee's today, I kept hearing people talk about Rip Rap Roadhouse having some of…read morethe best burgers around, so I decided to give it a try -- and I'm glad I did. 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.

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!

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.

There are some restaurants that I look forward to visiting on return business trips. Not this one.
