Our Story
Fatback’s Barbecue didn’t start in a boardroom; it started in a backyard on the east side of Dayton with a dream of bringing real, wood-fired barbecue back to the community. We believe that shortcuts are for the weak and that the only true way to get that deep smoke ring is through patience, heat, and hardwood.
Our pitmasters are artisans of the flame, tending to the fires through the dead of night to ensure that every bite of brisket you take is as tender as it is flavorful. We source our meats locally whenever possible and hand-craft our sauces to complement, not cover, the flavor of the smoke. This is Dayton BBQ. This is Fatback's.
