- If you enjoy variety, choose a main that includes access to the salad bar and soft-ice station, as both are typically all-you-can-eat add-ons.
- Ask about vegetarian choices if you do not eat meat; the kitchen usually offers at least one burger-style option plus a well-stocked salad bar.
- Families with small children may find lunchtime or late afternoon quieter and more relaxed than the peak evening hours.
- If you use a wheelchair or stroller, use the main entrance, which is arranged to provide step-free access into the restaurant.

American smokehouse in a Danish market town
Bone’s Køge sits right in the old heart of Køge, a modern American BBQ restaurant tucked among traditional Danish streets. Behind the doors you step into a warm, wood-heavy interior with neon accents, license plates and retro signs nodding to diners and roadhouses across the Atlantic. It feels deliberately informal: big booths, broad tables and soft lighting built for long, unrushed meals rather than quick bites. Being part of a Danish-born chain dedicated to stateside barbecue, this branch leans into the idea of a small-town steakhouse relocated to Zealand. Country music often hums softly in the background, the smell of grilled meat drifts from the open kitchen, and the atmosphere balances US-inspired boldness with the orderliness and comfort Danes call hygge.Menu of ribs, burgers and crowd-pleasing classics
The menu focuses on hearty American staples: racks of BBQ-marinated spareribs glazed in the house sauce, ribeye steaks, chicken from Danish welfare farms and a line-up of towering burgers. Portions are generous and most mains come with a choice of potato, from fries to baked, plus the option to upgrade to all-you-can-eat fries and a self-serve salad bar loaded with greens, toppings and dressings. There are vegetarian and lighter options alongside the meat-heavy signatures, including a colourful beet-based burger and the ability to build a meal mainly around the salad bar. Kids get scaled-down versions of the classics, with simple sides and desserts that keep things familiar. It is the sort of place where everyone in a mixed group can find something straightforward and satisfying.Family focus and easygoing social vibes
Bone’s Køge is designed with families and groups in mind. Highchairs, kids’ menus and small treats like colouring kits make it simple to settle younger diners while adults linger over a second drink or coffee. In many Bone’s restaurants, a small play corner or themed details help keep energy levels cheerful without feeling chaotic, and Køge follows that same spirit of relaxed, family-friendly fun. Larger tables, shareable platters and casual service make it a natural choice for birthdays, post-game meals or informal work gatherings. It is not a hushed fine-dining experience; instead, expect chatter, clinking cutlery and a steady, convivial buzz that encourages an extra portion of fries or a final visit to the soft-ice bar where you top your own dessert.Details that shape the dining experience
Décor is a key part of the character here. Walls are dotted with Americana: number plates, vintage-style advertising, road signs and cowboy or Route 66 references that create a themed but approachable setting. The layout typically includes both booth seating for a bit of privacy and open tables that can be easily pushed together for bigger groups. Accessibility is taken seriously, with step-free access via the main entrance and a generally flat interior layout, helpful for wheelchair users and prams. Table service is structured but relaxed, with staff moving between refilling drinks, clearing plates and explaining how the salad and soft-ice bars work for newcomers.When to come and how long to stay
Opening hours run from lunchtime through the evening every day of the week, with slightly later closing on Friday and Saturday nights. Afternoons tend to feel calmer, ideal for families with small children or anyone who prefers a quieter meal. Evenings, especially weekends, are livelier as locals drift in for ribs and burgers to bookend their day in town. Most visits last between one and two hours: long enough to work through a main, maybe share a starter and leave room for dessert. With its central location, Bone’s Køge often becomes part of a wider day out that might include shopping, a stroll through the old streets or a walk to the harbour, but the restaurant itself is very much about settling in and eating well rather than rushing through a quick stop.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
