Turns out I never had GOOD ribs until today! They should call this place "Hog Heaven". The ribs were 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! read more

Are you looking for high quality BBQ in the Dayton area? Look no farther than Fatback's Barbecue. 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. read more

Positives: Had the brisket sandwich, green beans and potato salad. Brisket was tender and had great flavor. Hot barbecue sauce was solid. Sides were decent size. Only negatives are that the food was a little pricey. Well over $40 for 2 platters. Also no barbecue sauce on the tables. Basically they give you the amount they want to give you. No extra available. Located in a rough part of town but we felt safe. Parking was limited. The food was very good though and I will be back to try something else. read more

Stopped in the other weekend@5:45 on a Saturday and they were closed due to out of goods for the day!

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. read more

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! read more

Food was exceptional. The employees were super nice and helpful. We did takeout and they included several different sauces to try.

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. read more

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. read more

I haven't stopped thinking about these potatoes since i had them like 5 years ago, these are HANDS DOWN the best roasted potatoes ever. The pulled pork is delicious of course as well, but those potatoes!!! So good read more

Ribs were delicious and the best cornbread I have had in a long time. I got the slab of ribs dinner and the sides that come with are only for one person. For $40, I was thinking it would come with more sides so get more if you are sharing. Will definitely be back though to try all the other meats ! read more

Service, food and atmosphere was 10/10! The kitchen was visible and looked sparkling clean! Will definitely be back soon!!

Fatback's gives you nostalgic family owned BBQ restaurant. There are a few tables to dine at. Service was quick and we were pleasantly greeted on arrival. They have a good selection of pulled meats and sliced brisket. A good selection of sauces. Some items are limited to certain days. Today was our first and we got it to go. Pork sandwich was good and moist. Same for the sliced brisket. Hot. Lean and not dried out. Good flavor. Sry no pic. Too hungry. read more

Food is delicious, service is old fashioned friendly. You won't be disappointed. Best brisket EVER!

Super friendly service! Food was great and reasonably priced. I had the smoked turkey and it was delish. The banana pudding was amazing.

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. read more

I'm going to start off by saying I have only eaten here by takeout, but I can still say, with 100% confidence, that this is the best barbecue I've ever had! I have enjoyed their pulled chicken, brisket, and pulled pork. The sauces I've tried are their house bbq and spicy bbq. I can't even decide what my favorite is! If I HAD to choose, I'd say the brisket is my favorite.... by a hair. The brisket w the house bbq sauce is mindblowingly delicious. The spicy bbq is not for the faint of heart. It's SPIIIIICY. But very good! The sides are amazing as well. I've eaten the baked beans, green beans, and roasted potatoes. The potatoes are outstanding! Cravable. My mom loves their macaroni and cheese! Everything is just so good but the roasted potatoes are, in my opinion, superior to the rest. NOTE: I am gluten free and have no problem eating here! Do yourself a favor and get Fatbacks. Order anything and everything. You're welcome. read more

The baby back ribs are the best . The service is quick and friendly . It is a neighborhood favorite.

Stopped in for lunch on Saturday. Nice friendly people with good food. Loved the warm and sweet sauce.

So, I'm sitting around and not able to do much. (Stupid dog, tripped me coming down the stairs and I broke my wrist) a few weeks ago. Watching the food channel was making me hungry. It was really close to closing time, but bbq sounded good. I didn't feel too bad since I followed 2 others go inside. The place is small and looks clean. The staff seemed nice. I got the brisket platter. Beef, bun, pickle, roasted potatoes and baked beans. Everything was awesome, sadly I have nothing negative to say. Hahaha. I'll be back one day. Yum! read more
