Local tips
- Consider adding the salad and soft-ice bar if you like to graze; it turns a simple main course into a full, relaxed meal with starter and dessert.
- Portions are generous, especially ribs and burgers, so sharing sides or skipping extra fries can help avoid ordering more than you need.
- For a lighter option, choose a salad-based main or vegetarian burger and use the salad bar instead of heavier potato sides.
- Booking ahead on Friday and Saturday evenings is advisable, as the restaurant can be busy with families and groups at peak hours.
- If you have young children, ask for a booth near the edge of the dining room, which offers a bit more space for prams and bags.

American BBQ in the Middle of Herning
Bone’s Herning sits just off the bustle of Østergade, bringing a slice of roadside America to central Jutland. Inside, the mood is warm and relaxed, more diner than fine dining, with sturdy wooden tables and comfortable booths built for long, chatty meals. The concept was born in Denmark in the 1990s but leans hard into US-style BBQ culture, from the menu names to the neon accents that brighten the room. Most visits revolve around hearty plates: racks of slow-cooked spareribs brushed with a sweet-smoky house glaze, grill-seared steaks, loaded burgers and combo platters that let you taste a bit of everything. Portions tend to be substantial, with fries or baked potato as standard, making this a place where you settle in rather than rush through.From Signature Ribs to Big Boy Burgers
The undisputed headline act is Bone’s Original Spareribs, cooked to fall-from-the-bone tenderness and offered in several sizes, from manageable portions to impressive, sharing-friendly plates. Steaks range from lean cuts to thick rib-eyes, often paired with garlic butter or classic sauces such as pepper, whisky or a BBQ reduction. Burger lovers gravitate toward playful creations like the Bad Boy or Big Boy, stacking beef with bacon, cheese, salad, pickles and a hit of smoky sauce. There is also room for salads and lighter options; chicken Caesar bowls and vegetarian burgers made from beetroot and potato offer a fresher counterpoint to the heavier grill dishes. Many mains can be customised with extra sides, upgraded potatoes or added sauces, making it easy to tailor a meal to different appetites.Salad, Soft Ice and Family-Friendly Comfort
A big part of the experience is the help-yourself salad and soft-ice bar. For a supplement, you gain access to a lineup of crisp greens, toppings and dressings that can act as starter, side or main course, followed later by soft ice that you swirl into your own bowl and finish with sweets or sauces. It adds a playful, informal rhythm to the meal, especially for children. Families are clearly at the core of the concept. Children’s menus mirror the main dishes in smaller portions, with familiar favourites like chicken, burgers and ribs. Highchairs, roomy seating and a casual noise level mean that younger diners are very much expected. For adults, there is a straightforward drinks list with sodas, beers and a short selection of wines and cocktails to match the rich food.Design, Atmosphere and Practical Details
The décor leans into an Americana theme without feeling like a museum piece: road signs, vintage-style posters and subtle nods to US highways sit against warm wood and leather. Lighting is soft rather than dramatic, giving the restaurant a cosy, lived-in feel that works at both lunch and dinner. It is the kind of place where you can arrive in jeans and a jumper without a second thought. Accessibility is broadly considered, with level access from the street and restrooms inside, making it workable for wheelchairs and prams. Open for both midday and evening service every day, Bone’s Herning typically runs from late morning to early or late evening, with weekend nights stretching an hour longer. Prices sit firmly in the mid-range for Denmark: not cheap, but far from fine-dining territory given the portion sizes.Making the Most of a Visit
Bone’s Herning works best when you embrace its generous, unhurried style. Expect a filling plate, factor in the salad and dessert bar if you like to graze, and plan a little extra time to linger over coffee or a final drink. It can be a handy anchor for a day in Herning’s compact centre, slotting easily between shopping on Østergade and events at the city’s cultural venues. If you prefer a lighter experience, sharing a rack of ribs and focusing on the salad bar keeps things more manageable. Takeaway is an option when you want BBQ at home, though part of the appeal lies in sitting beneath the Americana décor with a basket of fries on the table. Whether you drop in for a quick lunchtime burger or turn it into a full-blown evening feast, the restaurant is designed to make group dining straightforward and relaxed.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
