    Stopped by CityBBQ as I had a yelp coupon for two free sides. Always check your "check in" offers!  Took 5 off my bill!

    Was lazy tonight, so we stopped by City BBQ. So good! Staff was friendly and provided great service as usual. Grabbed some chicken, some sauce and water, then chilled on their patio. The only thing I dislike is the contactless curbside pickup is directly adjacent to the patio so -- You get to eat a side of unwanted exhaust fumes.

    Very delicious salad with pulled pork. Had tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese and assorted greens and a hearty portion of pulled pork. I also had a order of hush puppies. Hubby ordered the same but had brisket instead, for a additional $3. Very yummy lunch and a covered patio.

    Longtime customer first time in New Albany. CB has always been great and I'm happy they came out of Covid the same. Had my usual; leg/thigh, one side, and an Arnie Palmer. Everything was great, bright environment, and smiling staff. Thank you for your consistency!

    Two meats, ribs, chicken and hush puppies. The fries came later as they're making them fresh.

    Very nice new location with a much more modern atmosphere. We were the only ones there but ate in the very nice patio. Great digital menu by the way. You order and wait for your food as before. They also have you your metal silverware and however much sauce you want. If you want any more sauce any variety just ask. If you want a drink refill you ask them for a new cup. Service was extreme helpfully, the food was excellent and hot. We got the pick 2 meats. One with ribs, chicken (pictured) and two sides the other with ribs and pulled pork with 3 sides. Great smoky flavor, the fries were off the drier, the hush puppies were amazing. It's good to be out again and enjoy a nice meal on a hot day. Love the new location. Will definitely return.

    I always leave City BBQ thinking it was just okay but wasn't offensive and this new location isn't much different. I recently tried something different as I've ordered the same thing for many many years and I regretted it. I tried the pulled chicken sandwich and was really let down by this. Firstly it was really wet and not from any kind of sauce. Like maybe it was pulled early in the day and sitting in broth or something to keep it warm, I'm not sure. I also didn't love the flavor and it didn't mesh well with BBQ sauce. I'll definitely be sticking to my pulled pork going forward, or the turkey which I've also tried and enjoyed. I also always forget I don't like their green beans so this is my note to myself - don't order the green beans, you don't like them. The fries and the mac and cheese are the best sides in my opinion. Their lemonade is a real winner but I miss when they used to have warm BBQ sauce at the condiment bar as well as pickles. I'm sure I'll keep having standard meals here but I've never been blown away.

It actually had meat to eat. Yum. There was tons of seating it had super high ceilings. The only thing that I did not like was they started to pre-close. they had had chairs on top of the tables that you had to walk by and as you sat at a table to eat your dinner, you had to look at this so it felt a little unwelcoming. Other thanFaux pas, we really enjoyed our dinner and would come back

The same thing happened to the next two people who came in after me as well. The sandwich was good and at a fair price. 11" Godfather on multigrain bread, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers topped off with provolone cheese and grilled. Nice. Plenty of parking and seating for a Sunday around noon. Without the line mixup it would be a 4 of 5.

My usual order is the Reuben on rye with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and Russian dressing. It's always my go-to and never disappoints. I also recently tried the State & Main on rye with corned beef, pastrami, and coleslaw, which was another solid choice. I've heard great things about the Paesano on an Italian sub bun with ham, hot capicola, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and Italian dressing (can be served hot or cold). A friend's favorite is the Figaboudit on grilled ciabatta with prosciutto, fig jam, goat cheese, and arugula. If you go, don't skip the homemade chips with the house-made sour cream and onion dip--it's easily my favorite thing on the menu and worth ordering as a side or appetizer.

    ROTATION REVIEW: CRUNCHICK (First Visit)…read more Rotation Rating: Stays in Rotation -- Craving-Specific *When this place makes sense: When you're specifically craving fried chicken with real crunch and sauce-forward flavor and don't want to overthink it. This is a lean-in, two-hands kind of meal. *What I ordered: The SoyPapa Chicken Sandwich -- brioche bun, fried chicken thighs, soy garlic sauce, Swiss cheese, scallions, serrano. *Texture + cook: The chicken is very crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside -- passes the tender-ism check easily. The fry is spot-on and cooked exactly how you want fried chicken to be. *Flavor reality (clear comparison): The chicken itself isn't heavily seasoned -- if it's seasoned at all, it's subtle. Think Raising Cane's logic in that sense. The difference is execution. This is better than Cane's because the cook is excellent, the texture holds, and once the sauce is added, everything comes together in a more intentional way. *Sauce + build: The sauce is balanced, pleasant, and flavorful -- not overpowering. The ingredients actually complement each other instead of competing. *Bread check: The brioche bun is a chef's-kiss touch. It holds the sandwich together and maintains the integrity of the build without falling apart, which matters with a sandwich like this. *Portion check: The portion size is fair and satisfying -- generous without crossing into Good Burger-level Mondo Burger territory. Enough for one very hungry person, or easily shareable between two, in my opinion. Ambience + setup: Located inside Bubbly Hall, the space is casual and food-focused -- easy pickup or a quick dine-in without fuss. Would I order it again? Yes. And I'd be open to trying other sauces or menu items now that I know how their chicken eats. ‍ Bottom line: Crunchick does texture and fry quality very well. The chicken is neutral by design, the sauce brings the flavor, and the brioche bun ties it all together. Know what you're craving going in, and it earns its place in rotation.

Decided to try one. Took it and walked back to get my boba. The sample was so excellent I got my boba and returned back to shamefully get another sample. I know... thats not nice taking two... but the second sample was even better as I used a different sauce and decided this fried chicken was worth the calories and ordered the OG original crunchick sandwich. This sandwich was huge. Its menu write up say it is to have two fried chicken thighs but I found it to have a bit more. The chicken itself had a creat light crunch to it. The breading was perfect. Not too greasy, either. He said it had a secret sauce (that was like Cane's -but I didnt taste it as I doused it with the white garlic sauce... uh, YUM!). Plus pickle and lettuce were also on it. Delish! The owner takes pride in constructing the perfect sandwich, so it's wrapped nicely and the lettuce is placed so it adds to the presentation. I really liked the owner. Its always a plus that its a locally owned business. It seemed to be the busiest booth is the Bubbly Hall. I hope Crunchick does well as I feel the hall hasn't been embraced by the community, which is weird. Tbo. The hall just has a odd aesthetic, but not a bad one, just a weird use of space. It lacks something. However dont let that deter you as Crunchick will not disappoint you. Parking is free... park on the side closest to the hardware store as that is the side of the hall Crunchick is closest to. Ps: They have fries too... I didn't get them but when I saw them I wish I had. Next time!

I love trying new restaurants instead of the same old chain spots, and we happened to come across Café Zupas. Their sign said "Soup, Salad & Sandwich Kitchen," and since those are three of my favorite things, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was bright, clean, and very welcoming. The menu boards had beautiful photos of the food, which definitely caught our attention. My only small complaint is that the menu doesn't include descriptions of what's on each sandwich or salad. Thankfully, the young lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. She even shared her two favorite menu items and explained them in detail. She recommended the Brisket Grilled Cheese with smoked brisket, provolone and Muenster cheese, sliced tomato, BBQ sauce, all served on ciabatta bread, along with the Chicken Chipotle Salad loaded with fresh mixed greens, roasted chicken, red onions, tomatoes, fire-roasted corn, black beans, tri-colored peppers, cheddar cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, chipotle ranch, and a honey cilantro glaze. Both sounded too good to pass up, so I ordered the "Try Two" combo, which includes a full sandwich and your choice of a half soup or half salad. Let me tell you... these are NOT normal half portions! My meal was enormous. As an added bonus, every meal came with a warm roll and a complimentary chocolate-dipped strawberry. I also grabbed a lemonade to wash everything down. The presentation was fantastic, and as a former chef, it takes a lot to impress me. But wow... I was genuinely surprised. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, with layers of flavor in every bite. The brisket grilled cheese was outstanding, and the Chicken Chipotle Salad was packed with fresh ingredients and had just the right amount of kick. The warm roll and chocolate-covered strawberry were such thoughtful finishing touches that made the experience feel even more special. My wife ordered the Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich with the Tomato Bisque, and she loved every bite. Before we left, the manager mentioned that everything is made from scratch in their open-concept kitchen, which made perfect sense after tasting the food. It's not often we discover a restaurant that checks every box--friendly staff, fresh made-from-scratch food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere--but Café Zupas absolutely did. We may have just found our new favorite lunch spot, and I can honestly say I'll be back again and again. Highly recommended!
