Discover more about Bone's Sønderborg
American barbecue spirit in southern Jutland
Bone’s Sønderborg is a Danish take on the classic American family restaurant, built around slow-cooked barbecue, big portions and a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere. Just outside the center of Sønderborg, it occupies a spacious, low-rise building at Stenager 17, easy to spot by its bold branding and ample parking. Step inside and the mood shifts from Danish suburb to small-town USA. The lighting is warm and slightly dimmed, country and rock tunes hum in the background, and the smell of grilled meat and sweet-smoky barbecue sauce drifts from the open kitchen. It is designed to feel informal and unhurried, somewhere you can linger over a long meal with friends or family.Roadside diner decor with a story
The interior leans into Americana without irony. Walls are packed with U.S. license plates, enamel road signs, sports gear and quirky flea-market finds sourced from across the Atlantic. Snowshoes, hockey sticks and model flags hang above leatherette booths, evoking a nostalgic road-trip fantasy. Seating is mostly in generous booths and large tables, so groups can spread out without feeling cramped. Soft, high-backed benches help dampen some of the natural bustle from clinking cutlery and excited children. There is usually a separate corner or room set up as a play area, with simple toys and activities to keep younger diners occupied while adults finish their meals.Menu built around ribs, burgers and big plates
The menu is unapologetically meat-forward. Signature dishes include Bone’s Original Spareribs, marinated in the chain’s secret barbecue sauce, and platters loaded with ribs, steak, chicken and onion rings. Classic cuts such as rib eye and tenderloin share space with towering burgers stacked with bacon, cheese and house sauces. Beyond the grill, the buffet-style salad bar offers fresh greens, toppings and dressings, while a baked potato and fries station ensures even picky eaters find something familiar. A soft-ice bar typically lets guests pull their own cones and add sprinkles or sauces, a highlight for children and anyone with a sweet tooth.Options for kids, vegetarians and casual diners
Families are firmly in focus. Children get their own menu with downsized versions of the main dishes, plus treats like balloons or small toy bags that turn dinner into an outing rather than just a meal. Highchairs are widely available, and staff are used to accommodating prams and larger family groups. While Bone’s is known for ribs and burgers, there are usually vegetarian or flexitarian choices too, such as a beet-based burger and a salad-bar-focused meal with baked potatoes. Portions run on the generous side, but the atmosphere is unpressured, so you can take your time, share plates, or stretch a meal into a long, chatty evening.A social hub for evenings in Sønderborg
Bone’s Sønderborg opens for lunch and continues through dinner, with slightly later closing times on Friday and Saturday nights. Evenings tend to be the liveliest, when groups gather for celebrations, casual dates or pre-movie meals. The atmosphere is more about easygoing fun than fine dining: refills at the buffet, messy racks of ribs, children darting excitedly back from the play corner. For travelers, it can be a comforting stop after exploring Dybbøl Banke, the harborfront or nearby beaches, offering familiar flavors and a clearly structured menu. Whether you are craving a full Route 66–style meat platter or a quick burger and salad-bar visit, Bone’s Sønderborg functions as a reliably hearty pit stop on a journey through southern Denmark.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
