    City Sampler, pulled pork, Beef Briske, Texas toast, Mac & Cheese, Potato Salad, Banana Pudding
    Tommy M.

    I love City Barbecue, let me tell you I am being dead serious when I say they have the best potato salad anywhere, it's SO GOOD! The pork and brisket were so nice and tender and had so much flavor. I'm a fan of the bushfire bbq sauce, it has a good kick to it. The banana pudding was so tasty! I came with a friend and she got the same thing and she was also raving about it. The service was amazing, the people who took my order were very nice, the wait time for the food was very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the place was very clean and seemed very organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the overall vibe of the place, it is very modern and up to date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It very much matches the vibe of a bbq Restaraunt. If you haven't been to City Barbecue yet this is your sign to stop by, for sure!

    A boy at city barbecue. This is how he felt about the food!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, great ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barbecue was barbecueing, the cooks were cooking, and the food was fooding. Thank you!!

    Pulled pork and shredded bbq chicken
    Ben J.

    Stopped by City BBQ for lunch. Unfortunately, didn't see a lunch menu so I went with a combo pulled pork and bbq chicken, cole slaw and potato salad. The pulled pork was moist and tasted ok. The bbq chicken was dry and really lacked taste. I had to pour bbq sauce on it to eat it. Potato salad, cole slaw, and toast were good. I think the pulled pork would have been better between two slices of bread. I should have gotten ribs instead of the chicken. A lot of food for lunch. Would not try this combo again.

    LOVE this place!! So fresh and delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We always come here for the great service!

    Order food usually about once a week. Ordered kids pulled chicken sandwich. This is what I wound up with when I opened it. Seems pretty skimpy. The kid involved would rather have more sandwich rather that the free drink included

    You can't go wrong with city bbq!

    Got the smoked wings and hush puppies I thought the wings were just okay. The service was okay. Restaurant could have been cleaner . It was just okay. It was just okay. Wings were just okay, I've had better. All I can say is it was just okay....

    City BBQ Brisket!

They promptly provided quotes, answered all of our questions, and made the planning process seamless. One of the biggest conveniences was being able to purchase our beer and wine wholesale directly through Hoggy's, which eliminated the need to coordinate with an additional vendor. On the day of the picnic, the setup crew arrived on time, was friendly and professional, and handled the entire setup process for us. They even brought extra "emergency" supplies that came in handy when we realized we had forgotten some of our own items. The food was delicious - especially the corn muffins with honey butter! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and we received many positive comments throughout the event. Thank you, Hoggy's, for helping make our summer picnic such a success. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

    WOW! I remember…read moreHoggys under their origional owner with locations all over town. Well, the owner's son is bringing the brand back and today's lunch was total nostalgia! Meat is smoked onsite, sides are all house made using the original recipies. What's new is their "chipotle syle" service ( My words not theirs). Pick your meat (pork, brisket, chicken or turkey). Available as 4 ounce or 8 ounce, your base: (salad. Sandwhich bun, on a plate (bulk) or with Mac (I assume that is mac & cheese. Then they had a case of sides. We had the green beans, corn bread, mac and cheese, cole slaw and pickles. I dont know what sides we skipped. This felt like a lot. Oh and we added a wings. 5 for $5 bucks is a deal! I ordered the wingss with BBQ dry rub. The BBQ sauce selection was also part of the process. Do you want mustard based? Vinegar? Brown Sugar? We chose brown sugar and had 2 choices: one was sweet like a Sweet Baby Rays - Cincinnati style, Ithink and the other was sweet and tangy. We each got one of each of the briwn sugar options. Hubs went with tangy BBQ sauce pulled pork sandwhich topped with slaw and pickles. And a side of mac & cheese I ordered the lean brisket (had the option for a fatty cut of meat too) with the sweet BBQ sauce Once we paid at the counter we walked our loaded trays to the table of our choice and then got our drinks from the soda machine. Also available is their origional recipe for iced tea, sweet tea and lemonade. The lemonade was phenomenal! I know I've used that adjective twice in this review. It is well deserved.) We both ordered a cornbread muffin with cinamon honey butter. I have lots to say. First too many choices especially for the BBQ sauce. Tiny samples need to be part of the experience. Im thinking a popsicle stick dipped in the sauce for me to lick would be enough to decide. My salad base included a paper boat of iceburg lettuce topped with shredded cheddar cheese and pickled red onions. I ordered it with Ranch dressing. When I added a little of that Cincinnati sweet brown sugar sauce to the salad - it elevated the salad. Next time I will ask them to chop the brisket. Today it was served as 3 large chucks that I needed to cut to eat. My husbands pulled pork sandwhich started with a freshly buttered and toasted bun. The meat was chopped, and basted with the sweet and tangy brown sugar bbq sauce. They also addded a little pork render (fat) that was chopped into the pork befire piling it on the bun. Hubs put the cole slaw and pickles on the side because he doesnt like them but I do. There were a few other topping options but at the end of the day Hubs like just sauce, meat and bun. The sandwhich was phenomenal! We both loved it. My brisket was equally delicious. Neither of us can say which one was our favorite; pulled pork or brisket. The mac and cheese was a penne type noodle tossed in a cheese sauce but this was dryer. If you want gloopy cheese sauce then this is not for you. As it was, the cheese clung to each noodle. My husband LOVED it; I prefer more of a liquid cheese sauce. The green beans were salty. I wiuld like to see less salt used in the preparation. The corn beead was exceptional! Moist with cinamon in it. Hubs said if you dont like cinnamon then this is not for you. Im not sure I tasted the cinsmon but I only had one bite. Each muffin is served with a side of honey butter. I brought mine home for my son. If he doesnt like it, hubs and I will duke it out. LOL. Update: kiddo liked it Finally the ambience. It was very apparent from signage in the parking lot that the owner saved the Hoggy's restaurant decor. Inside art work was prominently displayed a large Mona Lisa, Girl with a pearl earring and American Gothic replicas each sporting pig noses. You too can pig up your own snout for just $3 from the display table when you walk in. (See what I did there? Pig up a snout LOL). High top seats at the bar are super comfy. The restaurant also had low tops and booths. Larger tables are perfect for families or friend groups. Utensils and napkins are available table side. The utensils look to be plastic but are actually metal - do not throw them away when you clear your table. Hoghys is an absolute 5restaurant. Im so glad we went back!

It's very small, and most people appeared to get take out. Per usual, we ordered A LOT... and all at one time. That was our mistake. I recommend ordering your food a few skewers at a time so the food doesn't have time to get cold. They offer a warming grate, but it doesn't do much. Initially, I loved the skewers. However, they use the same seasonings on everything... which gets a little overwhelming. I really enjoyed the green beans, chicken, wings, potatoes,and beef; my husband enjoyed the prawns and lamb (I don't like either meat, so I didn't try those). The hotdog was 'ok'. It has been a while since I have been here, so I am open to going back and trying more items.
