Great always! I have eaten here several times and each time I have been pleased. The food is seasoned and prepared well. Everything was perfect. The customer service is always welcoming and attentive. The service is always one were they have no problem explaining anything. The ambience is one of a basic bbq spot. Overall always plesant 4.11.26 read more

City Barbeque - Ribs and chicken. With Mac and cheese and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

This was kind of a strange setup. It's almost like going to a Viva Chicken or a Chipotle but for barbecue. You simply go and place your order at the counter, pay, and pick up your order. You seat yourself here. No front of house. I ordered the pulled pork with a side of cole slaw. The portion size was just right for one person. I really liked that you can help yourself to what were delicious dill pickles and that there was lemon for the iced tea. All in all it was solid barbecue. I've had better, but it works for when you just gotta have some 'cue. read more

City Barbeque - Pulled pork with slaw - Barbeque Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Even though barbecue isn't necessarily my favorite, I do usually enjoy it when it's the group pick! I have been to a couple others and they are all solid locations. I came to this one for a work lunch with some colleagues and enjoyed a couple meats, collard greens and mac and cheese. Service was fast and friendly and everything tasted great. The pulled pork and chicken are my favorite, especially with one of the spicier sauces. The sides are a good portion too. Also love the condiment/sauce bar- endless pickles and jalapeños! My coworkers enjoyed their dishes too and we had a good quick lunch here. This location is larger and a lot more decorated, has a nice unique feel to it that makes me feel less chain-like. Sadly their rib bone Tuesday is now $2 instead of $1.8, thanks inflation :') Other than that, this is a solid spot! @azfitfoodfun read more

Door dashed, order came hot and packaged well. For a chain this is decent bbq. Have say some of the best sides ever! The brisket was well cooked and seasoned. Also tried the smoked sausage, again was very good. Loved the corn pudding and the potato salad absolutely delicious. Baked beans and cole slaw again was good. The hush puppies were over cooked for my liking. But finished it off with some peach cobbler and gallon of sweet tea! read more

Casual eating, order at the counter...kind of like fast food bbq. It was pretty good and an option when you have less time!

I'm always looking for a place to eat after church on Sunday that's not packed. This was it since we arrived at noon. It started filling up by 12:30 and by 1pm there were just high top tables left. It's great for groups. If you're traveling and want real food but short on time, great spot. After ordering, I got our drinks, silverware and bbq sauces. About 2 minutes later our food was ready. Printed Menus are available while waiting in line, unfortunately the prices are not on them. The cashier was helpful helping me put together our order. $19.99 for brisket, 3 sides. My mom walks with a walker and I was able to get her seated in a booth before ordering. Dining area is also spacious enough for a wheelchair. There's patio seating as well. When you walk in pickup orders are to the left all others are to the right. Spacious dining area, clean. Napkins, ketchup, salt and pepper are on the tables. Parking is shared as it's located in a plaza. If you're the non meat eater in your party, minimal options. Many of the sides have meat in it. The side salad is good and has good lettuce, tomato, cucumber and red onion. I also ordered the peach cobbler since I remember it being delicious. It was also at a different location. Not sure if the recipe changed but I'm no longer fond of it. Next time it'll be back to banana pudding. Hopefully that's the same. My mom loved her food as she devoured everything. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Brisket was fall apart fabulous. Lots of choices for sides. Turkey and pork bellies were good. Three different sauces from mild to hotter with a sweet sauce in the middle. Staff was great and its dog friendly. We'll be back read more

It has been a hot minute since have eaten here so we decided to have supper here Sunday night 3/22/26. We ordered and shared a city sampler which included a sausage link, smoked turkey, pulled pork and brisket. It was more than enough for us to share and included two sides and Texas toast. The wife got fried okra and I got baked beans because there is plenty of brisket mixed in with the beans. Service however was awful on this visit. When we arrived around 5:50 pm we were the only ones in line and yet the girl that was supposed to be taking orders was at the far end of the counter talking to some young guy. I know she had to see us but it was quite obvious that her conversation with him was more important than waiting on customers as she let us stand there several minutes before ending the conversation and coming to take our order. Then when my name was called to come pick up our order, a girl just handed my tray to me and turned around and walked away, no thank you, hope you enjoy it, nothing. How do you enteract with customers and not even speak to them?? The dining room was not clean. My wife had to clean off the table we sat at and there were napkins and a recipient laying on the floor in front of one of the trash cans. There wasn't that many diners at the time and too many employee's standing around for the dining room not to have been kept clean. The food would have been good if it had been served much warmer than it was and the service sucked!! We have had many good experiences here at City Barbeque in the past but the wife and I agreed after being served lukewarm food and the beyond crappy customer service we will no longer spend our hard earned money here so a return visit will not be happening. read more

Excellent food and great service. The brisket is always great, best in the area. I have visited several times with team members from work.

Great food. Came here for lunch and it was great. The customer service was great as well!

Up visiting family and they suggested we all go here because it was close to the rehab facility. First impression the parking lot was empty for a Sunday. It's a small town so I guess it's to be expected. I noticed a lot of people pulling up with take out orders. It looks like a typical barbecue restaurant. The staff was friendly. My meal came up to $30 which I felt it was a bit much. The brisket was decent. My sides were actually pretty good. The chicken was okay. The cornbread was good. Overall it was decent not a fan fav read more

i use to frequent this location, but i haven't been there in probably 5 mos. wow what a difference a few months make. the service was horrible no smile and attitude from the moment i walked in and it didn't get any better! don't think i will be going back ever!!! read more

Very disappointed at the decline of this location. Service was VERY slow- 45 min wait on food and then everything was cold. Fries were inedible they had been sitting out so long, hush puppies, pulled pork, chicken sandwich- all came cold. Not enough employees to accommodate or fix the issues. Waste of money and not likely to return. read more

Service and ambience were good. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the food seriously missed the mark. Very overpriced given the quality. Specifically the brisket. I've never had dryer brisket in my life. It lacked a smoke ring, aside from one burnt end, and was mostly flavorless. The sides were ok, nothing to brag about. Best thing were their hush puppies. These are done very well. Unfortunately if you are looking for brisket, look elsewhere. You can do better at the local Lowes Foods grocery store. read more

food and people were wonderful Paytin was great and the atmosphere was clean and quiet

We got a family pack to feed 8 adults and there was plenty of meat for everyone. The pulled pork was fantastic- moist and flavorful. The brisket reviews were mixed- a bit dry but flavorful. The Mac and Cheese was fantastic, everyone went back for seconds. The collards had a bit of a kick and not really the depth and richness of flavor we were hoping for. The Cole slaw was crisp and tasty, perfect with the pulled pork.. We all agreed we would order from them again, but stick with the pork, Mac and Cheese and slaw. read more

Best barbecue in all of Huntersville! Ribs on Tuesdays are only $1.99 for bone? That's Ludacris!! sooo good!!

I needed a brisket fix IMMEDIATELY and City Barbecue hit the spot and delivered right to my door. The mac and cheese and beans were delish but the banana pudding was not. I'd order again when the next craving comes around. read more

Excellent BBQ and fixing. This is my 4th time here and will be coming back again and again. I highly recommend it.

City Barbecue is my local fav. DO NOT PASS UP THE WINGS!!! They are so good! But honestly it's all good. I absolutely love the meal options for various size families and dinners. We love to get one of those meal options so we get all of the meats! I could literally go on forever about their corn pudding and collard greens, but the baked beans are also amazing and so are the green beans. I have never had anything here that is bad and it is my go to when I don't know what to do for dinner. And the banana pudding, it. Is. The. Best banana pudding you will ever have in your life and I'm not just saying that it is so good. I have actually purchased whole pans of them so I had them for events! Hauled one down to GA for a party! Salivating just writing this so CB may be dinner tonight lol Go. And if you're just traveling through town,... it's quick, clean, and has seating too! read more

The food was delicious and the service was fast! The staff was very pleasant. I will definitely visit this place again!!!! P.S. The peach cobbler was surprisingly reasonably for such a large container! $4.00 and the pulled chicken was so flavorful!!!! read more

This was a delivery. Everything in the delivery was terribly dry and some was inedible particularly the mac and cheese. The sausage was dry, hard and tasteless. The BBQ was dry and did not deserve the label. The brisket was dry, without flavor and cold. This was a total disaster. In the land of great BBQ this was criminal. Never again. Jerry read more

We love the food at City Barbeque, Huntersville, but this is the second time we went to have dinner there and they were out of Brisket and ribs. I understand these are the main sellers but I would expect them to have these for at least 90% of the time. read more

City Barbeque - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Food is heavily and unnecessary greasy. Puts you to sleep every time. Wings were the worst I've had. Chewy skin. Rub tasted mostly of salt. Bbq sauce is high fructose corn syrup. Ribs were burnt, hard, dry, and smaller than competitors. Hushpuppies are big and crunchy. Peach cobbler is one of the best. 1/5 wings 2/5 ribs 4/5 Hushpuppies 5/5 peach cobbler I've been here 5 times. Quality was better a few years back but I think I'm tapped out here. Maybe I came on a bad day where their wings and ribs were really poor. I'll go elsewhere for bbq but will definitely return for that peach cobbler. read more

City Barbeque - Smoked wings - Barbeque Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

I really like their baked beans... they are one of best that I've had...they have a lot of brisket pieces in them. Love the brisket sandwich. I tried the French fries and they are the best! Price is reasonable for barbecue and the service is fast. I joined their club app deal and I have gotten a $5 off discount a couple of times. They have a Tuesday rib deal $1.99 ea . Would highly recommend this place. read more

I visited this location on 1/30/2025 at approx. 6:45 pm. I placed my to go order and a group of people came in behind me to dine in. I waited on my food for over 20 minutes to be prepared and bagged, where as the group behind me received their food and seated in 10 minutes. The cashier had placed my side dishes on the counter waiting for my meat. The young lady bagging orders and placing dine in orders on the trays took my sides and my meat and gave it to the dine in people that came after me. It was definitely a case of rasicm. I am disappointed of how I was serviced and I am a regular customer. I do not think I want to go back there again as a result of how I was treated. read more

Excellent!!!!!! We will be coming back! Brisket pulled pork sandwich, 3 cheese Mac and cheese! Fried okra with Ranch don't get me started on the peach cobbler read more

WOW! They have great brisket! Also, don't miss the pastrami. Nice friendly staff and clean cheerful atmosphere. BBQ beans are tasty and so is the Mac and cheese. I would choose the corn bread with my sides. I can't wait to go back. Easy parking and it was not crowded when I went for lunch. read more

Came have dinner with my kids a couple of weeks back. We got a lot of food for about $35! They give military discount so AD & Vets don't forget to ask! The food was delicious & there were lots of sitting space. I wish I would have taken pictures of the food because there were lots. I highly recommend the ribs! read more

Always great ! The Turkey is my fave and all the sides and the chocolate cake is fabulous

Everyone was very nice the bbq was good the Tacos were amazing and I loved the swine wine sauce

Went in person for a date night! Place is so good. I loved the bbq and the ribs. Mac and cheese is amazing and fries and cornbread was good too. I wanted so badly to love the strawberry and cream cobbler but the cook went way to heave on the almond extract. Really took away from the strawberry flavor. But other than that this place is delicious! read more

Happened to be on that side of town and wanted to see how they are doing!!!! First off - fantastic staff! Everyone had great attitudes and smiles, very refreshing!!! Second, the manager checked on us and wanted to know how they did. I answered that the meal was awesome. $14.99 two meat plate - perfect for keto/paleo!!!! I order brisket and smoked turkey. First off, I am a brisket snob, seriously - there is some excellent spots, dare I say - legendary spots!!!! Midwood Smokehouse in CLT and Noble Smoke have some of the best brisket I have ever had........ I ordered fatty cut and honestly did not expect the cuts to be fatty or even just okay..... Big mistake, first off - check out my pic - that bark!!!! Thick, with a flavor explosion. Seriously epic. The slices, while not the fattiest I have ever had, were fatty enough to have them dissolve on your tongue, like melt. Holy crap, very impressive.......... The smoked turkey was juicy, tender and had a subtle smoke flavor, awesomeness. I am so happy I stopped by and this might be my go to for this miserable diet I am on!!!! Good job City BBQ, keep up the great work! read more

Food was pretty good. People were nice. Indoor seating for adequate. No major frills here. Just average BBQ. I'll be back. read more

The best barbecue in the Charlotte area and I should know cause I've tried so many! The ribs, chicken and brisket are all fantastic. I didn't try the turkey breast. On special occasions they also serve burnt ends. The sides are fantastic and house made. I especially like the potato salad, the corn bread and their wonderful baked beans. This time I took it home for s late dinner so I didn't indulge with the fries and green beans which partnered with my last meal. The service is wonderful and although it is kind of pricey especially by North Carolina standards, the portions are large and well worth the price considering the quality. read more
