At Tooley's SmokeHouse Bar, we don't rush the process. Every cut is smoked low, every sauce is mixed from scratch, and every visit feels like coming home to the best meal in town.
Tooley's SmokeHouse Bar started with a simple belief: real barbecue can't be rushed. Located right on Highway 321 in Dayton, we've spent over a decade perfecting the art of low-and-slow smoking, building a reputation that draws locals and travelers alike.
Every morning, our pit crew arrives before dawn. Every rack of ribs, every brisket, every pulled pork batch gets the time it deserves — often 12 hours or more over real wood fire. That's not a gimmick. That's just how we do it.
Every dish starts in the smoker. Here's what's pulling all day, every day.
From the bar to the table, everything at Tooley's is designed to make your visit unforgettable.
Craft cocktails, local Texas beers on tap, and a curated wine list that pairs perfectly with smoked meat.
From birthday parties to corporate gatherings — we'll handle the food, the drinks, and the memories.
Bring the smokehouse to your next event. Full-service catering with our signature smoked meats delivered fresh.
Monday through Friday, 3–6 PM. Half-price appetizers and discounted drafts — your new after-work ritual.
Hear from the folks who keep coming back for seconds.
"Best brisket I've had anywhere in Texas, and I've tried them all. The bark, the smoke ring, the juice — everything is perfect. This is our Friday night tradition now."
"We booked the private room for my dad's 60th birthday and Tooley's made it legendary. The ribs disappeared in minutes. The staff treated us like family. Already planning the next one."
"Stopped in passing through Dayton and ended up making a detour on the way back. The mac and cheese alone is worth the drive. Best casual dining experience on Highway 321, hands down."
