Celebrating 20 Years!
2001 - 2021
Our Story…
KD’s Kettering BBQ was started in 2001 by Jimmy & Marianne Keady (pronounced like the letters K and D, hence how our restaurant got its name). Jimmy had an extensive career in the Dayton-area food-service scene long before founding KD’s Kettering BBQ.
An Oakwood High School graduate, who went on to graduate from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, he worked at multiple Dayton-area restaurants, including the Peerless Mill, Peasant Stock, and Murray’s Place. Sadly Jimmy is no longer with us, but the recipes, quality, and family tradition Jimmy created at KD’s Kettering Barbecue lives on.
Marianne and the dedicated KD’s BBQ Team look forward to serving you - stop in and taste the difference!
Every single time that my wife and I have been privileged enough to come to this restaurant the food has been stupendous! I love their broasted chicken. It's by far the BEST in DAYTON, Ohio! Tonight, we added fried shrimp to the mix and I'm glad we did...it was absolutely amazing!!!
The only thing that can overshadow the phenomenal food is how attentive, knowledgeable, and kind the employees are to everyone that walks through the door. I love coming here!!! Thanks again for another amazing experience!!! We'll definitely be seeing you again real soon.
