We did carry out. The flavor was awesome of the brisket!!! However, to pay that kind of money and have to cut it with a knife & fork, I was disappointed. It was not that tender. Probably won't be back. Way too expensive as the meat was not exceptional. read more

City Barbeque - Burnt Texas toast - Caterers Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

The service was terrific! This was first time here, son just moved into the area. Not very impressed. Mac and cheese a little too thick Potato salad was excellent We tried the city sampler. Sausage was very good, and the chicken was very very good. VERY moist and tasty. No sauce was needed. Pulled pork and brisket was so dry it was pretty much inedible without sauce. VERY very dry. Perhaps being new to the area and this restaurant, my son and I ordered the wrong meal. One would think a "sampler" would showcase the best. I will give it another shot in another month or two when in the area again. read more

City Barbeque - Caterers Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

Overall they've been wonderful. My only issue is that I always order lean because their brisket is too fatty for me, and I now check the meat before going home because they've not read the order carefully in the kitchen. Overall, wonderful read more

Great food and excellent smoke flavor! I like how the pulled meat sandwiches are plain, so that you can add the right amount of your favorite bbq sauces yourself. Their sides are good, with perfect seasonings. I'm picky when it comes to greens, and theirs are absolutely delicious! Their deserts are very tasty and plentiful as well. They have a good price on their lunch special. The ambiance is nice and the location is right off of the interstate. read more

It good, not great bbq. (And twice there messed up my carryout order. Check before you leave.

I have been to several locations of City Barbecue and the Fishers location is my favorite of all. The food and the service is always top notch . My go to is the Brisket sandwich with collard greens and potato salad. During COVID we stopped in and the collard greens weren't on the menu and I was talking to the manager and told him I really missed them , and he explained that there was an issue at the time and they would be back soon . I sat down to finish my meal and the manager came out a few minutes later with a cup of greens, that is the kind of service that you can expect from this location and staff. I will only visit this location because of the commitment to customer care.Sorry for the lack of pictures, always start eating. read more

I'm going to give it four stars today you know how I roll things change and not all restaurants are consistent. So they get points for friendliness. It was amazingly quick fast and efficient the place was spotless from what I could see! Love the industrial vibe they have going on plus fact that they use brown paper bags. The lady that waited on me was patient and understanding as I have never been there before and they have a up beat down to earth personalities which is what I prefer.. it beats stuffy any day! I just grabbed a lunch sandwich pulled pork and collard greens to go. The greens were tasty! couple minor tweaks and they would be excellent suggestion.. make them a little more tender and hold back a bit on the salt and vinegar. I do like a little chew on my greens but some people don't, they would be too tough for some people's liking. The pulled pork was tasty it could've been a little more juicy I had to travel with mine so I did mine van on the side so I could build it when I got home I needed some sauce I don't like my pulled pork saturated in sauce and I don't like soggy buns!The hot sauce was really hot! I liked it.. but I mixed the hot with the sweet for balance.. it was a good bite! They've got more stars than famous Dave's has been getting from me lately it may be well worth the trip to go back to city barbecue in fishers. read more

This is our usual bbq spot in the neighborhood. Decent menu and quality BBQ. We always order a pretty diverse mixture and the sides are always pretty good. The fries are best In person but the Mac and cheese travels well. My wife enjoys the banana dessert, and my father in law likes the collard greens. I stick to the brisket. My single word of caution is to double check your order if it is to go, especially during their busy dinner service. read more

One of the best BBQ places I've ever eaten at! The meats are tender, juicy, and full of flavor. There's a good variety of meats as well as side dishes. Portions are a good size too...you'll definitely be full after your meal. Cole slaw was not your typical creamy kind. It was much lighter and tasted great. Potato salad and baked beans were amazing too. You get your food fairly fast, and they have everything out for you to get yourself...utensils, sauces, condiments, even to-go boxes...very convenient! Service was great, and the staff was nice. After we ordered our food, our 2yr old wanted milk. We went back to the register to order it. The lady asked if it was for our baby, we said Yes and she gave it to us at no charge. I know it's just a small bottle of milk, but it's the little things that can make your experience that much better. Thank you! read more

I often order City BBQ for different events. I order it for work catering, we had it for my wedding reception, and we have ordered it for countless other get togethers. It's always delicious! It's always a top request! I recently ordered for work, and because of COVID, I took everyone's individual orders. The impressive part: they got EVERY SINGLE order correct and also bagged AND labeled each meal with the persons name. WOW!!! You guys seriously never disappoint! read more

Went to City BBQ today. Hadn't been there for a while. Very inconsistent. Food was good, but not as good in previous times. Sides were at room temperature. Pork was luke warm. BBQ sauce was not available at the table, but ketchup, salt, pepper, and napkins were at table. Not observing social distancing as posted. read more

It had been nearly 15 years since I partook of City Barbeque (in Toledo, Ohio). Today with a locale in lil' ole Fishers the times have changed. I can still remember when they only had 5 locations (up to 10 cities now with multiples!) and glad they are doing well. We ordered lunch in the office today for customers. It's really remarkable how familiar everything tasted. The bark on the pulled pork (and the pork in general) is ridiculously good. All three sauces have varying flavors of awesome. I did not like the pulled chicken...too salty. Speaking of salty...green beans. Holy hell bring the water. Potato salad is great. The mac and cheese was great as well...creamy and delicious. Overall for a to go order it was really good and I can't wait to go sit down and eat soon. Glad to have you in Fishers City Barbeque...it's been a long time! read more

The food is really good. I've never had anything here that I didn't enjoy. However, I will visit as early as 7:30 bearing in mind that you're closing at 9:00 and my only options will be pulled chicken, sausage and pulled pork. I've only been able to have ribs one time in my last seven visits. Kind of disappointing. Being out of a bunch of things 10 minutes before you close, ok. But an hour? read more

I am a huge bbq fan. I like the atmosphere of this place and how they treat their customers. The food is really good and there are plenty of selections to choose from. I really like the turkey. The only improvement is the cost of sides bs what you get. They are small. Regardless. The food is good and they give veterans a military discount! Really recommend this place. It also sits next to Graeters Ice Cream so you can get dessert right after. read more

So here's the thing... I can't decide between 4 and 5 stars here. I've eaten 5-star barbecue and this isn't quite that. However, it's the best chain barbecue I've ever had. It's 4 stars on the "barbecue" scale, but 5 stars on the "chain" scale. It's all good here, but the sneaky surprise is the barbecue chicken, which is among the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, juicy, great flavors. Just perfection. The ribs and pulled pork are great and the sliced brisket is excellent. The smoked turkey is also pretty good. I wasn't bowled over by their sausages, but they were okay. The sides are great. The mac and cheese is very good. I'm a big fan of collard greens, and these are excellent and chock full of pork hunks. The green beans also come with those tasty pork bits. The slaw is good but not exceptional. Be sure to sample their various sauces, as several are quite good. They had a seasonal bourbon flavored one that was out of this world, but has since disappeared. One of the great features of where we live in Fishers is that City is just a five minute drive away. If you want really good, but not top of the line, barbecue or if you want as good a chain experience as you can have, this is the place. read more

I've been a loyal customer since City BBQ opened their first store in Ohio. But the order I picked up at the Fishers store before Christmas had CHIPS OF BONE in the chicken and hunks of cartilage in the pork. It's so sad to see a great restaurant go down hill. read more

I was so satisfied and full when I left this restaurant, I even had leftovers for lunch, win! Make sure you try to corn pudding, it's so amazing. I also had the hush puppies as a side and a sandwich with Texas toast and onions and peppers! It was all so good! Of course I had to get sweet tea to go with all the BBQ flavors! Yum! Will definitely be back! The employees were so helpful with suggestions! read more

If you're looking for a lunch spot in the area, this is the spot. The Lite Lunch Combo is probably the value lunch deal you can get north of Indy that's not fast food. It's basically a full sandwich with two side for $9. I got the LoLo with baked beans and fries, and it was probably the most food I've ever gotten at lunch for under $10. So many fries. A thick cup of baked beans. A good quality BBQ sandwich with all the fixins, what's not to love? They have a full sauce bar (I recommend the Bourbon and the Brushfire) and a full fixins bar. The atmospheres great, they futbol on the television and just a good group of patrons hanging out and enjoying the Lord's gift of BBQ. 10/10 will go back, likely multiple times a week. read more

City Barbecue...yummy!! This is a great casual, quick place when you want to have really good barbecue. My family loves barbecue and for years since some of the other barbecue places around town have closed this has become a favorite. Service was good and the server came around a couple times to make sure we had enough to drink and to clear empty plates. The food was so good, as usual. I had the pulled chicken sandwich with sides of green beans and mac n cheese, which were delicious! The chicken was a tiny bit dry alone (not a frequent occurrence) but after I drizzled some of my favorite mustard barbecue sauce over it, it was delicious. The mac n cheese was soft, cheesy and had great flavor, and the beans were so flavorful and juicy. My dad had pulled pork, green beans and a side salad and he really enjoyed all of it. My mom had plain (no sandwich) pulled pork and mac n cheese and thought it was good too. The only downer about this recent visit was that about halfway through our meal a group of what seemed to be high school students and parents from a local athletic team came in and overtook the enclosed patio area where we were sitting. They were pretty loud and excited although not out of control--it just makes it hard to have conversation at one's own table with so much background noise. We understand that this isn't something the restaurant can really control and we were about to leave anyway so it wasn't too big of a deal. Overall this is a great place to eat and offers very quick, good service and great food. read more

Reliably delicious every time. Reid the chocolate cake for the first time and it was very moist and rich, not too sweet. Tasted like MORE!

We've driven by and pointed to City Barbeque in Columbus, OH a few times when I went to school there. Never got the chance to try it until the chain spread like wildfire across Indiana. This BBQ concept was completely new to me (I haven't ventured to Kansas City, Texas, Tennessee...). Upon walking in, there's the order line to your left and dining room to your right. It's kind of like Panera Bread, where you order, pick up your food, and choose your own table. So if you're a first timer, they give you a tiny meat sample as you hop into the line to order. The cashiers are really willing to help you figure out what you want if you've got a million questions. To save the hassle, we ended up ordering the Deluxe City Sampler. It's the whole shabam complete with 1/4 chicken (breast/wing or leg/thigh), 1/2 slab ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, 2 sides, 2 cornbreads and Texas toast. More than enough for two! For the 2 sides we chose the fries and green beans with bacon. We also got 2 fountain drinks - typical sodas, sweet/unsweetened tea, and lemonade (free refills). They've got a condiment table (pickles/sauces), wet naps, to-go boxes/bbq sauce containers right next to the fountain sodas. The food? I believe it's better than Squealers, Famous Dave's, and all those other chain BBQs in Indy. City BBQ's ribs were fall of the bone good, pulled pork was juicy, brisket was tender, and chicken was nothing special. Drench those meats and sop up a mixture of mustard and brushfire BBQ sauce with your cornbread/Texas toast. Shake up that spiced vinegrette right into your fries and pulled pork for a bit of zing. Normally I hate cooked to death green beans, but the bacon makes everything better. The sampler's the best way to go if you've got a friend to share with. It's a real meal deal vs. the a la carte. You'll even have leftovers for lunch the next day. Don't forget to pack a few sauce cups in your box as well! It's our new fave BBQ hotspot, so we'll definitely be returning! read more

BBQ-yum! Order up front and wait for your food, easy concept and the nice lady taking our order made some suggestions which were on point! We got the burnt ends, a brisket sandwich and several sides. Corn pudding, which was out of this world, hush puppies with some chipotle dipping sauce, and mac and cheese. All delicious sides and the brisket was fall apart good. I like a BBQ place that offers a lot of sides options outside of the typical ones, so this is my new favorite BBQ joint! read more

The best barbeque in the county is at...a chain? *audible gasp* It's true. I didn't want to believe it, either, but City Barbeque just hits the ticket every time if you're in a BBQ-craving rut. This place is quick and cheap, and the food...not just the sandwiches and other meats, but most of the sides as well (something barbeque places seem to forget needs to be good also). Aaaaand...it's conveniently located right next to Graeter's ice cream...if only it was possible to have room for Graeter's after a meal at City Barbeque. read more

I always thought you couldn't make good barbecue at a chain restaurant, well I was wrong. I got the sampler plater to fast a variety of items. Meats: Brisket - It had a nice smoke ring and was very tasteful. I was sold on this place when I tasted it. I judge barbecue with brisket like I judge Italian with there lasagna. Turkey & Pulled Pork - they were both very good and juicy. It is very hard to keep smoked turkey juicy but some how they have managed to do it. Sausage - When I cut into the sausage I was expecting a lot of grease like all the other places, I was wrong it was juicy but not grease. It has a very good peppered flavor that stays with you for a minute. Sides: Greens, Green Beans and Texas Toast - they were all good but I was pretty full from all that meat listed above. Mac & Cheese - I thought it was creamy and very good. It was not dry or grease like you get at other locations. My father in law thinks it is the best thing on earth. Try it and make your own decision. read more

Never again...... I went there and ordered a pulled chicken. It was wet, it was thrown together, it looked disgusting. I tried to take a picture, but the picture does no justice to how bad it was. I am giving it two stars for the service at the counter. The girls were very sweet and friendly. I really enjoyed that portion of my visit. However, none of that distracts from the fact that the food that I was served will ensure that I never go back there again. read more

I frequent City Barbecue as often as I can when I'm in the Indianapolis area (I've been to all 3). This is truly my go to place for smoked meats. Most recently I visited on 06/19/18 and as usual, the food was fantastically phenomenal Not only is the meat mouthwatering good, but they have really tasty sides. I especially love when they offer the seasonal sweet potato casserole! I will continue to visit City Barbecue. Just wish they would open one in Lafayette!!!!!! read more

I've been here 1,000,027 times, but apparently I have never done a review. I have all these pictures in my phone that have been backing up and now it's time to post them! You know how that goes.......always putting the review off until later!!! Well, let me tell you what the best kept secret is at this place. It's the smoked turkey! OMG!!!!!! ‼ The servings are by weight. So every time I see the turkey on my plate I think to myself, "this is not enough. "And every single time I can barely finish it!! It's so juicy and moist but the trick is to eat it quick! Once it starts cooling off, it is not as good as before. However, if you warm it up later on it is still pretty good. What I like to do is get the two meets with two sides. One of my sides is always a salad with ranch. The salads are just OK nothing big. But you do get a free piece of bread with your meal. I go and grab free pickles, onions and mayo from the condiment section and make myself a sandwich. Yummy! My husband consistently gets ribs and chicken. I believe we have tried everything, and it's all good. But the turkey is definitely worth the trip. You should go gobble some up! read more

This location has the Blues too!! Joy!!!! BBQ was great. I had the beef brisket and it had great flavor. The rest of the food's good, though the green beans don't seem fresh, I could be wrong, but they seem canned. Atmosphere is pleasantly blues filled. Service has always been good the two times I've been here. Just wish the floor was cleaner- it's 4:30 in the afternoon, and it obviously hasn't been swept since the lunch rush. I'm really touchy about that sort of thing. All in all, I would definitely return. read more

I spent over $200 on food and all I wanted to eat was the salad I ordered. Party salad for over $30 and my order was delivered without it there at all. How it that?

City Barbeque will always be a favorite of mine. They catered my wedding and did an absolutely amazing job! The Barbeque - If you love bbq then you should make this your next stop. Their meats are all tender, full of flavor and fall apart. I recommend the pulled pork, but I may be bias, it is my all time favorite! They have their own sauces and a wide variety so there is something for everyone. The atmosphere - very casual, laid back and rustic. I love the picnic feel even when you are sitting at a table. They have rolls of paper towels instead of napkins as well, which comes in handy when dealing with bbq. The service is always quick and friendly, the price is very affordable and even more so for large groups or families. The sides - GET ALL THE SIDES. This might be due to my lack of decisiveness, but I seriously love all of their side options. The macaroni and cheese and the hush puppies are the shining stars. read more

These folks do a great job. The service is excellent, the ribs and everything else are terrific. It's a good place to meet up with friends.

Not bad at all. I saw the sign and remembered I had this place bookmarked from my fellow Yelpers and stopped in. I'm a big to-go woman so I picked up the 3 sides plate w/ an extra side and Texas toast for $10 which was great price for quantity. I tried the mac, sweet tatters casserole, corn pudding and greens. Greens were boss! Corn pudding I would have wanted sweeter but still good. The mac was not as flavorful as I like my mac to be. When you are making mac n cheese, it has to be boss... period! and it must make you role your eyes to the back of the head with a hard table bang because it's so damn good! I didn't get that here but it was creamy which I like but my soul had to search for flavor opposed to my taste buds being drowned in flavor. Sweet tatters weren't bad, I liked the Wally nuts included. The ambiance was BBQ restaurant for sure nothing cute or special about it. Staff was not friendly considering the manager stood there talking to a friend/customer to the point he could not or did not acknowledge anyone but the woman he was talking to. The guy who cashed me out just pointed at me indicating I was next. Regardless of there integrity, I would still go back to try the peach cobbler :) read more

Would give zero stars if I could. Booked Mother's Day meal 3 DAYS earlier. Got there, food wouldn't be ready for 2 hours. What's the point of pre ordering?! I'm in the Seinfeld episode... you can TAKE the reservation, you just can't HOLD the reservation. Received a call later that night with barely an apology, wasn't even offered a gift card for the problem, and asked if I'd like a refund. Uhhhh, yes, I didn't get any food. read more
