We are long time City Barbecue customers as we lived in Columbus, Oh where they started for a number of years. They are doing a good job of keeping the food the same at multiple locations. I love the turkey and the briskets. Their sides are consistently good as well. Many bbq places have crummy sides, not here. Oh, and the peach cobbler yumm! My only negative is, IM moving to New Albany next week, hopefully one will open in Southern, In as they have locations in the Indy suburbs. read more

Wasn't sure if this was a chain because it was so good but looked them up after, and they do have 41 locations in the region. I read that City Barbeque's culture is centered on food quality, along with "serving and creating happiness". The article also said they pay employees higher than avg and each location gives back 10% to the community. This was clear during our visit as the team was truly joyous in helping walk us through our order and then explaining the dipping sauce choices. The side salad I ordered was fresher and more gourmet than recent salads ordered at high end fine dining establishments. We will be back! read more

I needed some dinner for my family and discovered one place I drove to was already closed by 7 on Sunday. So I remembered the City BBQ offers great family meals to go or you can dine in. I ordered the pork BBQ which you get one pound of. They have two sauces spicy which is my favorite or sweet. It's good too but I like a more spicy sauce. Not sure how I missed that they have vinegar slaw, which is my personal slaw preference so I got a side of that. My daughter only eats Mac and cheese so I picked that and baked beans. I can vouch that the cornbread rolls here are the best I have ever had. Moist and slightly sweet, I would go here just to get these corn bread rolls. You'll also get 4 buns to make sandwiches as well. Its a great deal for the price. The pulled pork was very moist today and had a hint of smoke from the smoker. Fell apart and tasted great in my sandwich. The beans are homage and the sauce is great a large improvement over the canned variety I made at home earlier this week. I didn't get any of the macaroni as my son and daughter were fighting over it, so it must be good. Slaw was great to add into my sandwich too. Overall great service and food. I would highly recommend this spot if you need some great bbq. Of note they also have larger options if your having a party just get more meat and sides and you'll be ready to roll. read more

I had 2 meat plate, brisket and pulled pork. I wanted ribs but they were out. Ribs must be popular at lunch time because I arrived a little after noon and they were out. I had sides of hush puppies and collard greens. Pulled pork was excellent. The brisket could use a more smoky flavor i thought but it was good. The collard greens and hush puppies were good also read more

City Barbeque has always been favorited by many of my coworkers! Yesterday I decided to give it a try and I'd give it two thumbs up! I got the lunch combo with the shredded chicken sandwich, hush puppies, and Mac and cheese. I love that they give you options of BBQ sauce to add to your meat, or side. I just wish they had a description of hotness or flavor of the BBQ sauce. Overall it's good and you'll be very full after visiting! read more

We almost let the flustered hostess scare us away but fortunately the plates of mouthwatering food that kept going by made us stay. The restaurant is set up assembly line style - think MCL Cafeteria. The cashier was very helpful with my life or death decision between pulled pork and beef brisket. She brought out a generous sample of each - both were delicious - I opted for the beef brisket. Oh, I forgot to mention the drink scene: I was very happy to see that they carried Sun King Beer and on top of that they had several nostalgic soda options. I couldn't resist the grape Nehi - my dad has always referenced it but this was my first experience with the sweet and refreshing soda. I second Dawn's review that notes the price being a bit high. However, City Barbeque does not accept tips (I tried). They even have a sign that says it. So, in my head I tried to justify the higher prices with the absence of a tip. I accompanied my beef brisket with mac n' cheese and collard greens and pork. Both were very good. They also offered green beans and bacon, hush puppies, cornbread and quite a few other options. We didn't have dessert, but I did take note of their massively-portioned comfort style options: banana pudding and a brownie that reminded me of the crazy-huge chocolate cake forced upon Augustus in the movie Matilda (if you were born in the late 80s you'll get me). read more

Has always delivered a delicious barbecue experience for a fast food place - mac and cheese is great and tasty banana pidding too !

I have to admit, I wasn't sure what City Barbecue was all about. I drove past it for years with my nose held high, assuming it was some fast food barbecue experience. I only went upon the high recommendation of a friend. Boy, was I not disappointed. That was two weekends ago. I have since returned two more times with more friends to experience this great barbecue. The experience is great from start to finish. While ordering, receiving, and getting to eat is a fast food experience, there certainly is nothing fast food about the amazing taste and quality of what is being served. All barbecue is smoked on site. There is an array of "barbecue" friendly sides to choose from. Any combination of sides compliment the meats well. The workers and service people at this location are extremely friendly. Each time I have visited, my friends and I have sat within the restaurant for no less that three hours at a time. The restaurant is kept clean and stocked.... AT ALL TIMES! Restrooms are spotless, and more importantly, they smell clean. But it's really all about the food, and that's what makes this experience a great one. Each time I have selected the Deluxe Sampler. For just $24 and some change you get half a slab of ribs, a quarter of a chicken, a nice portion of pulled pork, and brisket, all seasoned and smoked to perfection. You also receive two sides of your choice, nice portions sizes, two large pieces of texas toast, and two mini cornbread loaves. This platter is more that enough for two hungry people. My wife and I share and have plenty to take home as well. We add a couple of regular drinks and spend $30 bucks. Great deal! You receive your food on large metal trays, then you walk around to a "fixings" areas stocked with chilled pickles, onion, lemon, butter, and you can even choose your favorite barbecue sauces that are heated. The tables are also stocked with a variety of sauces as well. I cannot express enough how great the food is and how wonderfully operated the restaurant is. My only complaint is that I can only hold so much food... but that gives me a great excuse to keep coming back. I highly recommend City Barbecue in Avon, Indiana to friends and family. read more

It be a little dry sometimes but it's very good. The Macaroni is trash but everything else is *chefs kiss*

This location's customer service is A++++. I made a mistake on my order not them, and they still fixed it. Appreciate you guys here.

This location is near my work and I know that I know I can get in and out and have time to get back to work. My order is always correct and the food is always good perfectly. I love the fries are made fresh after you order and I love all the sauces. The corn pudding is also very good and I look forward to the seasonal sides like sweet potato casserole and gumbo. read more

Normally, I'm a huge fan of City BBQ, but I wouldn't recommend this location. My husband and I have ordered take out from here a couple of times and it just has not been great. Both times the food has been cold and we've been missing items. I love City BBQ, but this particular location is not one I would recommend. read more

Wife & I had lunch here on 6/29/20. Greeted by a very friendly person, who took great pains in explaining their offerings and procedures. I had never visited a City Barbecue before. Food was outstanding. Portions generous. Atmosphere pleasing. We very much enjoyed our time there, in no small amount because of the way we were received. I highly recommend this place! Hosts like this should get big ATTABOYS! read more

We were ready for dinner and in the area when we spotted City Barbecue and decided to give it a try. Overall a pretty solid BBQ place with a variety of options. We chose the City Sampler to share, which includes turkey, sausage, brisket, pulled pork, and two sides. We chose macaroni and cheese and green beans for the sides, and added some hush puppies. You order at the counter and wait to be called. There is a small condiment bar and a wonderfully large selection of bbq sauces! I went for the sweet and "angry cherry". The cherry is a bit too cherry, and I imagine would be good if mixed with another sauce. I also tried a bit of the original and the intriguing "swine wine" - the swine wine is a spicy vinegar-type dressing that I'm sure some love, but I think I will pass on next time. I found the turkey to be soft and juicy, the pulled pork a bit dry but soft, the sausage juicy (pork, I think), and the brisket had a nice flavor and was soft. I'll probably try another sample when I come again, and try some of the other meats they have (chicken, ribs). The macaroni and cheese was average, the beans a little nicer than usual, and the hush puppies had a nice flavor but were a little small (I tend to like larger, fluffy ones). Thave a few bottled sodas as well as a machine, and a most luscious-looking chocolate cake I'm sad I didn't buy. There are a couple small TVs if you want to check in on sports. read more

My husband and I had City BBQ cater our wedding with approximately 150 guests. We chose the "All-Inclusive Reception", which included an appetizer station (ribs and vegetables), a meat carving station (brisket and pork), a mashed potato bar, a salad bar, a rustic tea/lemonade stand, a s'mores bar, and custom mason jars. We upgraded the plates and added a side of baked beans. Michelle gave us a 20% military discount to thank my husband for his service. Michelle also surprised us on our wedding day with free hot chocolate, because the weather was cooler than expected. From the first day I met Michelle, she was extremely professional and easy to work with. She let my mother pickup the mason jars early and brought me an apron to wear to make sure I didn't get bbq sauce on my wedding dress! During the reception, Michelle personally asked my immediate family if they needed anything. I quickly rattled off an order and Michelle returned to the room promptly with exactly what I asked for. I cannot say enough good things about City BBQ Catering and Michelle Hickman. We received many compliments on the food and the presentation. I highly recommend City BBQ Catering.

We decided to order City BBQ when we were passing through Avon over the weekend for a break from all the at-home meals. So glad we did! We used the app to order and pay and selected curbside for a designated time. What a smooth process! As we pulled in, our food was heading out the door to be placed in our trunk. The best part -- the food was delicious! We ordered a pound of pork, buns and two sides. We even had enough for lunch the following day. We will definitely be making the short 15 min. trip to Avon again for City BBQ in the future. Excellent service during isolation! read more

I ordered the pick two meats. I originally wanted the pulled chicken and ribs, but the Avon location didn't have anymore ribs. Due to this, I opted for the chicken breast/wings. If you see the picture below the chicken breast/wing was not fully cooked. It looks like it just came out of the package from the market. I attempted to call and get a refund, but i couldn't reach anyone so I left a voicemail. I was very dissatisfied with the quality of food I received. read more

I wish there was city barbecue where I live. Every time I come to Indianapolis I come here. I wish this chain would expand. Then again my waistline and bottom would also expand, but I digress. This is delicious. Best brisket I have ever had. The baked beans with pieces of brisket Are amazing. Corn pudding is that corn stuff Paula Deen makes. Love the sweet tea and the sauces. Come early. They sometimes run out of the wonderful brisket. That is all I come for. read more

Not a fan. The restaurant has a nice welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The quality of the two sides I had were above average, the potato salad was great. When it comes to the BBQ the brisket was dry and hard enough it broke my plastic fork they give you instead of silverware. The pulled pork was also dry and lackluster. For the price of the meal having to bus my own table felt like a Burger King whopper stop not a $27 lunch. read more

ThIs is not a Strong program of barbcue. They treaT it like an assembly line. More like faSt food thsn reAl barbecue. I had ribs and some potato salad thingy. The ribs were cut too Short and the sauce was sickly sweet. I wish i could say i lOveD it, because i lovE barbecue, and i live to discover real barbecue shacks. But this is jusT a Suburban dream of what roadside food should be. I'll give it another try Someday. Til then: 2stars. read more

Once again had an awesome meal at City Barbeque! My husband and I shared the half chicken with Mac and cheese, baked beans, and hush puppies for sides. Subbed out the Texas toast for their amazing cornbread. The chicken was perfectly cooked, had great flavor, and even the white meat was moist. And they had a new bbq sauce I had never tried - Bourbon BBQ. It was awesome! I am stuffed and so happy! The wait time for food I also very quick. read more

Love the Blues, so I was very pleased to hear it when we walked in. The meat's good. Real good. Not quite Big Hoffa good, but alright. My skinny black kitty would be face down in the Mac&Cheese if he was here. My orange tabby - mowin' down the brush fire BBQ sauce on a set of ribs. Me, I liked the potato salad. The bathrooms could be shinier. A little more service would be nice, even if it is a self serve joint. I thought the baked beans had a sour note to them, but my taster is a little off today. Over all, I'd come back, if for nothing else than meat, potato salad and Blues. I'll leave my hat on and take some Mac&Cheese back to B. read more

City Barbeque - Nekkid pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I LOVE this place. I usually go there for lunch or take friends there who have never been. I went there this past week and ordered the lunch special brisket sandwich ( a little smaller version of regular one) with 2 sides. The two sides I chose were the new Brunswick Stew and fries. The stew is to die for! It has hearty chunks of turkey, chicken and brisket with a tomato base and some other veggies. I like to add a splash of hot sauce to give it a little heat. The fries are fresh made to order and are natural cut. The "side" is easily enough for 2 people i couldn't even begin to finish mine that day. I have uploaded the pictures of my "lunch" and as you will see the portions are very generous. They also offer the option to order your brisket with no bark, extra bark if you like and/or lean. I always like no bark and lean. I have also tried the shredded pork which is good too. I just love the brisket and it is hard not to order that. But I am going to try some other menu items soon. A friend I took ordered the Chicken Breast sandwich and he said it had a very good flavor and he didn't even need any BBQ sauce. I intend on trying that perhaps next time because it did look really good and juicy. The customer service is always friendly and food is delivered pretty fast even when they are busy. They also do a good job keeping everything clean. One of my pet peeves when it comes to restaurants is the glass entry doors being dirty with finger prints etc. I have never noticed that here. Keep up the good work. read more

Always great BBQ and sides. The chicken is sneaky good and ribs always tasty and fall off the bone tender. The service right now is not up to par to where they used to be. That might have been because of a new hire working the register. This remains my go to place for Barbeque! read more

I have eaten at a LOT of BBQ places and this one is in the top 2. Its good from the moment you walk in the door. I had the Cowbell which is a brisket sandwich with provolone horseradish onions and peppers one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I had a side of ribs which wouldn't have needed any sauce by themselves. Their barbecue sauces are very good though. The corn pudding is a must! The beans were good. When you combine the good food with very friendly service it makes for a great meal experience. This place and the people deserve a 5-star rating in my opinion. read more

For some reason, Yelp keeps reprinting the same old review for each of my current visits. It is surely not my FOURTH visit...I go to either Avon or Fishers each and every Tuesday, so I've got to be pushing well over 100 or more. In addition to their ribs on Rib Tuesday, I usually get the vinegar slaw and sweet tea. Recently, I have been getting their fries covered with cheese and bacon...which reheats surprisingly well for lunch on Wednesday. We'll se if this review posts as edited or if it reverts back to my old, but accurate, review. MikeW read more
