    Inside eating area
    Manuel G.

    Cozy place with good barbecue! They have a lot of items so you have high chance to find something to satisfy your palate. Brisket was my favorite with some corn bread to reset the delicious saltiness of the meat. Also sauces were tasty! Hot, original and sweet. Lastly, cashiers were really welcoming to us, being our first time here they guided us through the menu!

    This was my first time dining in but I have ordered catering and delivery many times. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the decor was very rustic and woodsy. We ordered and got our order quickly even though it was pretty busy. The food was good. I just started eating mine and forgot to take a photo. The cornbread was my favorite part. I also love the swine wine, vinegar based sauce. After you order, they have a drink station and a very well-stocked condiment station. They also have plenty of to-go containers easily available if you can't finish your food. Overall it was a pretty good lunch stop while I was out shopping with my brother.

    The City Sampler. A little bit of everything: pork, brisket, turkey, sausage, with two sides. We regret nothing.

    What a stellar introduction to Hoosien barbecue. The City Sampler and those smoked and fried wings - we had a ball with this seven or so restaurant chain. Everything tasted like it took some time in the smoker. My wife couldn't care less about turkey from any barbecue joint and she happily tolerated this version. The corn pudding also gets an upvote from her. It was her first time having some, but a bad batch of it would still make for a striking first impression. My absolute favorites were the sausage and the wings. The pork casing and seasoned beef filling - think I could eat the sausage consecutively for a long time without getting tired of it. And the wings...that brine made for such a satisfyingly tangy bite to the well-done exterior of the chicken. All of the meal elements were quite indicative of a place that has actual smokers onsite and pitmasters in place to make sure the quality of the meats they serve taste mighty close to the neighborhood spot I pray you've had the pleasure of knowing at one point in your life. The kind of place that's only open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which makes visiting such a trek because of the hours long wait it takes to get a plate of anything. City feels like the best restaurant version of that. Clean presentation. Genuine smoked flavoring. Coming from the land of LA, there can be a lot of half-stepping with the pretense of authentic barbecue. CB will for sure be a regional chain worth the visit every time I happen to make my way to Indiana.

    Smokehouse Salad with chicken
    Yvette A.

    Came here Saturday after a workout since my friend was craving barbecue. Not my first pick after an ab punching work out but I figured I'd get something light. I was tempted to get some hearty barbecue after walking in as the scent of meat just smacked me in the face but I stuck to my guns. So many wonderful options on the menu, I decided to go with the smoke house salad with smoked chicken, ranch dressing. It was amazing! The portion was huge that I shared with my friend and she shared her beef brisket. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful. They offer a variety of barbecue sauces that is self serve when you dine in. The barbecue sauces are on the sweeter side, I liked all of them but the more runny vinegar based was my fave. I'm of a fan of their sweet tea too!! They have non sweet tea which is what my friend drank and she loved it. For a busy Saturday, service was great!

    Meh .... Brisket was dry and wings were extensively overcooked and dry. Long wait for food after ordering too. Pastrami sandwich turned out good though. Restaurant was pretty much clean. Trays removed from tables along with trash but not wiped off

    Three Rib Bones and a side of Green Beans with Bacon.
    Richard Walton C.

    This was my first visit to a City Barbecue. One would think based on the size of the building from the outside they might have table service but it is all self serve meaning your order from the counter and pick up from the counter. The line starts immediately to your right upon entering through the main door. There is a sign hanging from the ceiling with this indication. I arrived just five minutes after 12 noon and there was no waiting in line. In fact, there weren't more than three people in line at any one time from what I could see. I was very happy to see the number of calories listed up on the big menu sign. It caused me to change my side from Potato Salad at 450 calories to Green Beans with Bacon at only 90 calories. And the green beans were superb, just like grandma used to slow cook them too. I think there were the best restaurant green beans I've had in the last two or three years! I was also very pleased you could order Ribs by the Bone. I can't finish a half rack and left overs never taste as good as they do the first time in the restaurant, right? So I ordered three bones. They come "dry" which is fine. There are eight different sauces available. I went with the Sweet that included chunks of onion according to the little sign. I wanted to try the Original and should have got both in hindsight. But the Sweet BBQ sauce worked great for me! I wish the people manufacturing plastic cups for sauces would make them bigger or even in the shape of a rib bone. It would make things simpler. That goes for the little ketchup cups at other places too. I also loved that there were several Diet Soda selections instead of the usual one. Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Mountain Dew or Zero, were available as well as the cola one. Just so long as there are diet soda choices instead of just one so Kudos for that in of itself. Plenty of parking is available at this location. I did not hit the restroom so can't speak to it's condition. But all tables were clean and wiped down and the paper towel racks on each table were stocked. I should have ordered the chocolate cake though! What does Arnold say? "I'll Be Back!"

It does not look as though you are entering a restaurant when you approach, but you are. I think they are configured more for takeout, but they have access to the large event area with cafeteria-style seating. So there is plenty of room to eat in if you'd prefer (which we did). The hours seem a little limited so be sure to check before you go. The menu, including the specials, is on a white board as you walk in. The selection is streamlined, BBQ-dominated and carnivore-oriented (other than the sides). The system is a walk-up and order from the kitchen doorway. My wife chose the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Baked Beans while I opted for the Chopped Chicken Sandwich with Kickin Coleslaw. The food was very good. The proprietors were very friendly and engaging, and that was a plus. The prices were quite reasonable. With drinks and tip, it was about $14 each. My wife actually took enough away from hers for another meal, so it was a good deal. Our daughter and son-in-law live close, so we hope to try this place again when we visit.

You can order the meat only or get a dinner that includes 2 sides and your choice of bread (white, wheat, or cornbread). They provide very generous portion sizes. The rib tips are the best that I have had in Indy thus far. They are tender and the seasoning they use is delicious. You could eat them without any sauce. However, the sauce is what takes it over the top for me. They offer sweet, medium, hot, or they will mix the sauces for you. The hot has a pretty good kick as a warning if you are sensitive to spice. I recently tried the Bar B Q bun, which is essentially a pulled pork sandwich. The pork is finely shredded and the sauce is poured on top of the pork. It's almost a fork and knife sandwich, as the bottom bun gets soaked in the sauce. Their sides have definitely reduced in quality over the years. I recently tried the mac and cheese and greens. As a note, they only have greens Friday - Sunday and they often times run out on Sunday if you do not get there early. The mac and cheese was dry and had little flavor. The greens, which used to be my favorite in the city, reminded me of cooked spinach and weren't seasoned. The service remains great. With the amount of people waiting while I was there, they were friendly and efficient. I wanted to order chess pie and there were not any readily available behind the counter. They told me they had some coming out of the oven in the kitchen if I was willing to wait and they brought it over once done. It is carry-out only, so be prepared to take it elsewhere to eat. You can call ahead to place your order as well.
