This is a wonderful little place. I was surprised to see a pool table and TVs. The service was absolutely fantastic. But an important caveat we were the only ones there on a Thursday evening. The food was absolutely amazing. I particularly enjoyed the smoked chicken.

Wow! Check out the pics.I walked in this place almost a year ago and walked out. That was due to the small crowd and the place was in need of updating. BIG MISTAKE. Today no crowd and updates are being work so no excuses. I had the best lunch in awhile. Great value, freshly cooked, and good portions. The staff member was very friendly too. Check the pics.

Our waitress was great and polite. The coin op pool tables and music were fantastic.

Literally the worst food I have ever had in my life. I feel sick after eating it. The chef is a Chinese man who doesn't even speak English cooking American BBQ food. Save yourself a day on the toilet and avoid this place at all costs.

I have been to Fairborn Place BBQ on a couple of occasions. I do not live in the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Area. Even time I come in I am greeted and seated promptly. The host is always friendly. One thing of note is the place is deserted. There are no other patrons in the restaurant, no one watching the TV's, no one playing pool at the tables. Food is served promptly. The ribs are pretty decent but the chicken has been a little dry each time I have ordered it. Overall a decent place to get ribs on a weeknight. The strengths here are friendliness and speed of service. I am truly left wondering is the speed and friendliness of service hold up as this place gets busy.

They said they didnt have brisket, only pulled beef. I simply didnt realize that meant I was going to have to pull over on the way home to ruin some poor gas station workers day. You live and you learn.

I've really torn on how to rate this restaurant. Construction on our street has forced us to head to Fairborn for dinner this spring, so we thought we would try something new. We actually had carryout here two nights in a row, so let me explain my rating conundrum. Our first night we checked out their online menu, which was quite disorganized and frankly, most of the items had an error instead of a picture. You could not order online correctly, as there was no options to select your side for combo meals, etc. No worries, as their prices were really good. We called in our order of 1/4 rib meal combo and loaded pulled pork combo. Along with a kid's meal, we carried out a really delicious dinner for three at about $20. The restaurant itself was clean, but utterly and completely empty. Walk back far enough and you will hit the bar in which every seat was full. I had to wait for the bartender to be free so she could gather my carryout order. I wonder is there a cook there or does this lady do everything? Regardless, it was so good we actually decided to carryout again the next night. The outside signage on my first visit indicated Chinese food was available for $6.25 (i.e. bourbon chicken, Mongolian chicken, with lo mein or rice). Now I love some good bourbon chicken, but when we called they were all out. So my wife and I both went with the teriyaki chicken with lo mein. Here in lies problem one. The advertised price of $6.25 was for lunch only (not mentioned on the sign FYI). The "dinner" price was $12 each, which is not even the worst part. The teriyaki chicken had zero flavor, and I mean zero. As is such with carryout, rather then go back we just tried our best to fix it up with flavor (hot mustard, hot sauce, anything). The lo mein looked right, but tasted exactly like plain spaghetti. PLAIN SPAGHETTI. This was by far the most bland meal I had ever tried. We gave up after a few bites and took the $30 loss ("+ a side of potatoes which was exactly that). My final suggestion...stick with the regular menu. Don't even think about the "chinese" menu and you will have some good food at a decent price. After our last trip though, I'm not sure we'll be back.
I was at the Bar there
They have good food
