Smokey Bones Dayton: Authentic Barbeque Experience in Dayton, OH

Very homey and ambience is very nice. Waitress very helpful with questions and very friendly as well giving her own recommendations for sauces and such. A bit loud due to the holidays but nothing wrong with that. Everything so far has been very pleasant. Pretzels and shipwrecked are also really good as well. A very nice pairing with both salty and sweet. Natasha was our server this evening.

Natasha was so sweet Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed the entire time. Her positive attitude and great service truly made our experience better. We’ll definitely be back because of her!

Absolutely loved my experience at Smokey Bones! My servers name was Natasha and she was fantastic! I ordered the burger and cornbread, and both were incredible. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with just the right balance of toppings. The cornbread was warm, soft, and slightly sweet—honestly the perfect side. Everything came out fresh and hot, and the atmosphere made it even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others!

Amy is truly amazing! From the moment I walked in, she provided top-flight service and made the entire experience feel welcoming and effortless. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly and that I felt comfortable the whole time. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and positive attitude really stood out. The manager was excellent as well — very present, supportive, and clearly committed to making sure customers have a great experience. You can tell the team works well together and genuinely enjoys what they do. There were plenty of laughs, great energy, and just an overall atmosphere of joy. It wasn’t just good service — it was an experience. I truly appreciated the care and effort that went into everything, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Awesome experience, had a date night here, food & service was amazing! Food tasted amazing. Our waitress Amy was amazing, very attentive & professional. Definitely will be back soon.

We had such a great experience at Smokey Bones - Miller Lane! From the moment we sat down, our waitress Amy was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and went out of her way to tell us about all the current deals and specials so we could get the best value. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests having a great experience. On top of that, the manager even worked with us to give us a discount on our wings that’s usually only available during happy hour — which we really appreciated! That kind of customer service makes a huge difference. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service truly stood out. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend asking for Amy if you visit!

Came here at 5pm and ordered the happy hour boneless for $6 and got fries. And everything was hot and tasted fresh. And had great service! Would definitely recommend. Bag of donuts are definitely a must as well.

I went to Smokey Bones while I was in Dayton for work. I had the BBQ chicken nachos and they were super delicious. Loaded with tons of chicken and yummy topping. I had the mini but shou have ordered the larger sizer because they were so good.
