Welcome to Smokin' Bar-B-Que

For over three decades, Smokin' Bar-B-Que has been the cornerstone of authentic Texas-style barbecue in Dayton, Ohio. What began as a passion for slow-smoked meats has grown into a beloved institution, proudly serving the community from our historic location at 200 E. Fifth Street.

Our hickory-smoked brisket, ribs, and pulled pork are crafted with time-honored techniques — dry-rubbed with our signature blend of spices, then smoked low and slow for 12 to 16 hours until perfectly tender. Every bite carries the deep, rich flavor that only real wood smoke can deliver.

We take pride in being voted "Dayton's Best BBQ" — an honor that reflects our commitment to quality, consistency, and the warm hospitality that makes every guest feel like family. Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch, a late-night feast, or catering a special event, we're here to make it memorable.
