    Hush Puppy Basket Two Meats, Two Sides Fresh-Cut Fries

    Great food. We tried 4 different meats. The greens are great as well as the fresh fries. Lots of BBQ sauce options. The corn hush puppies/fritters were so good!!!

    We swung by on a road trip. It was fairly busy with what looked like the after church crowd. Fast service and food delivery. Friendly staff. Brisket, pulled pork and chicken tenders were delicious. The portions for the prices were good. My teenage son liked the Mac and cheese. All the french fries were soggy. Cheese product sauce on the loaded fries was disappointing when the menu said it was cheddar, but the bacon chunks were yummy. None of us liked the fries. The multiple sauce choices were good. Everyone in my family was able to find something they liked. The salad had lots of wilted and brown pieces in it. Clean dinning room and bathrooms. Overall, this place has potential they just need to iron out a few kinks.

    I had city barbecue catered at an event I attended last weekend, and it was delicious. In the past week, I have been craving it, so I scoped out a location near me. My mother and I stopped by on a late Sunday afternoon--and I could tell the place had been busy. We purchased the family pack that fed two adults and two kids. Honestly, it was a lot of food for us two adults, as we took home leftovers and had enough for at least one to two meals after. It was a bit expensive, but it is very difficult to eat out for less than 40 bucks for two people nowadays. Our bill was $38. We originally were going to get two sandwiches, but we found out that this family deal included cornbread, whereas we would have had to add that as an additional cost. Since it was our first time, we got a five dollar coupon off $30 for a to-go order--which gave us our peach cobbler free. Worth it!! I definitely would give the food 4 to 4.5 stars, but we were really bummed that the restaurant did not allow dogs. There was a patio attached to the restaurant with outside seating plus an additional outdoor seating with picnic tables near the parking lot. We were going to sit out at the picnic tables away from the restaurant, and we were told that this restaurant was not dog friendly. My mom asked a man who was working inside, and that is what he told us. We were bummed! We would have loved to stick around and enjoy the ambience of the restaurant, but due to that, we ended up getting our food to go and had a picnic at the park nearby. Overall cleanliness was okay--but to be honest, you could tell the bathrooms were not taken care of recently, as the toilet paper or paper towels had not been refilled--they were just lying in the stalls and on top of the paper towel rack. The area around the self-serve barbecue and drinks station were a little dirty, and there were no lids left for the sauce. I could tell it had been a busy day. There were no workers who were actively out in the restaurant, and the same girl who was packing all the food and taking orders was also running food to the people sitting down at the restaurant. You could just tell they needed an extra person helping clean up and take care of people. Overall great food and okay price but bummed about the no pet-friendly status.

    Pick Two platter, with ribs and brisket. Sides of collards, corn pudding, cornbread and a bit of Brush Fire BBQ sauce, yum!

    My family wanted BBQ so we stopped into City Barbeque on a Wednesday afternoon for an early dinner and weren't disappointed. I was visiting Cincinnati from Texas where BBQ is a food group on its own and was impressed with my experience at City Barbeque. The cashier was friendly and patient with our group as we looked over the menu. I ordered the Pick Two meats platter, I chose ribs and brisket that came with two sides, collards and corn pudding, plus cornbread. I enjoyed the Brush Fire bbq sauce which had a great kick to it and went really well with the smokiness of the meats. The meats were nicely cooked, the 3 ribs were a decent size but not real meaty. The brisket wasn't fatty at all, nicely smoky and tender. The collards were pretty darn good for North of the Mason Dixon Line, not mushy at all, with a nice tanginess to them, perfect to dunk cornbread into. The corn pudding was slightly sweet with kernels of corn and cornbread, I'd eat corn pudding for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could. The cornbread had a nice deep corn flavor and crumbled like good cornbread does. My Pick Two plate at City Barbeque was definitely worth it in my opinion and would be strong competition for some Southern BBQ places I've eaten at.

    This is the receipt, showing what I ordered and the upcharge

    I'm in the army and have to fly to the area once a month from Colorado Springs, and I stopped here for dinner, I got their two meat plate with two sides for 14.99. chose the brisket and ribs. The guy that took my order didn't tell me that it would be $3 more for each of what I chose, when he told me it would be 22.63 I was shocked. Portions were not big for this choice. I would've thought since a $6 uncharge was applied the portions would have been bigger. But I was wrong. The flavor wasn't bad. The brisket was a little dry. I was hungry so I just ate it. Probably won't revisit. I don't know the area so I guess I'll try the other local restaurants next time I visit. They should really mark their menu that it's a $3 up charge for brisket and ribs

    Local bbq with exceptional service especially our cashier who helped us find a good match on the menu. Poor is especially good. Tried one of their speciality sandwiches that featured the pig with some pig wine and tasty vinegar bbq. It was divine. Chicken is noteworthy too.

    Not good if you are from the South and used to good BBQ but a sold pick for the Cincinnati Area. I like their pulled pork the best.

This place has tons of parking which is free. The pricing for mini golf was really good better than anywhere else - unlimited and two different 18-hole courses (I will say the courses itself could use an upgrade - new paint or adding some objects to the course to make the established holes a bit more challenging. We paid 9 dollars per person. The driving range was also pretty cheap for buckets of balls - it would be a fun afternoon to bring the dads for driving range, the kids for mini golf and the moms can eat food and hang or enjoy the range as well. The food looked good, but we did not partake - the drinks were decently well priced - a can of beer 3.50 - a sway was 6 bucks. They have free concerts every now and then at their art installation, which is pretty cool, I also think it's cool how they do 5 buck Mondays. The staff was nice enough, my only complaint is the grass was a little overgrown, so we got ate up with chiggers and skeeters.

One friend got the buffalo mac, the other got the teriyaki chicken with rice and broccoli. Both were very happy with their orders!! I ordered the teriyaki salmon with a side house salad with raspberry vinaigrette and mac n cheese. I'm not a big vinaigrette girly, so I'm not sure what came over me to order it, but it was DELICIOUS. 0% bitter and the slightest hint of sweetness - I was in love. The salmon was cooked wonderfully and the glaze had a sweet hint of something that I couldn't fully pinpoint (pineapple chunks, perhaps?) The mac n cheese was the low point of my meal and not even because it was bad...just because it wasn't anything to write home about. I totally will go back and it was very much worth the visit!! **can't remember how allergy friendly conditions were for the meals. Double check their menu before you go!
