Bought the pick 3 meats with brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. The brisket was moist and good, the pork was dry and felt like it wasn't smoked to the correct temp because it was really stringy, and sausage was okay. The Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were good but the bread was dry and tasted old. It was in a good location for traffic and the staff was pleasant while we were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant definitely needed a good deep cleaning though. You could see the build up on the baseboards by the bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

City Barbeque - 3 meat meal- Pork, sausage, brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We came for lunch. They had great food, friendly staff, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]a clean open dining area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The first thing that I noticed when the walked in was the deep smell of wood smoke. It kicks up your appetite a notch[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. You order at the front counter using the menu board, with a surprising amount of bbq choices. You receive a receipt with your number on it. After a surprisingly short time, your order is called and you pick a table. Soft drinks and condiments are self serve and well laid out. I had pulled pork and potato salad. The pork had a good smoke taste to it, and the potatoe salad tasted home made. read more

The food, as always, was amazing!! We had leftovers to last a couple more days and a treat for our spoiled rotten Sheltie Penny. The service was great too - we were greeted and helped with our order by the considerate staff on the counter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was just as you would expect - people enjoying great BBQ and having conversations over fantastic food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Of course, we had to take a couple banana puddings for later - needed just a little more banana in mine - only one small piece in my pudding - less the banana, it was still delicious The Finneytown location is a regular stop for us - read more

Well, still most convenient, but not my favorite location. The pastrami sandwich I tried when available was good... the recent pulled pork was ok, a lil dry and the peach cobbler was dry and doughy and didn't seem like the regular recipe. After I went back and had banana pudding that must have been old. The bananas were very ripe and it wasn't good. read more

It's very nice to have somewhere that offers gallon containers of drinks to accompany your orders. Unfortunately, (literally) 4 out of 5 times what is labeled as unsweet is actually sweet tea. Which gives their customers two options. 1). Dump it 2). Drive back to exchange it. Very inconvenient. Frustrating We give up. read more

City Barbeque - Ribs what's left anyway. - Barbeque Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This was a pickup order. Purchased a City Sampler, light weight on all meats compared to earlier visits. Received the tail end of brisket that should have been used for flavoring green or baked beans. A half edible brisket, half potion of pulled pork sandwich (was able to use 1 piece of Texas Toast to make this), 2 medium slices of turkey and a smoked sausage. Sides as individual were fine as green beans and potato salad. Not worth the expense spent. read more

Best brisket I've had at any city bbq!!service was friendly and helpful! Food was AWESOME!! read more

The food, staff ,manger was amazing, we will be back and will bring our grang children

Got turkey Mac coleslaw and baked beans All the food was good and hot. Nice size portions as well. It would be great if the staff could suggest meals and ask would you like to add a drink to your order. There are kids working in here a lot of laughing and horse playing going on. Please offer them more training. This is a very nice establishment and I would hate to see it go down because of the staff read more

Got a family pack and the pulled pork was mostly greasy fat. The very small portion that was not was just burnt meat. Disappointing.

Fast ordering, it took a minute to for the sampler's plater but both the pickles and the collard greens were good The pulled pork and chicken where very juicy. But there brush fire sauce was a little mild. But they have a great range of America Barbecue read more

I've tried this drive through several times and half the time no one takes my order or it takes 10 min to hear from someone (they are never busy). Also it's a total crapshoot if you get actual pork or just a slab of fat. I love city bbq so it's a big dissapoint, if every city bbq was like this one they would all go out of business. Sadly I won't be going back to this location, I have then too many opportunities. read more

I went thru the drive this evening I am truly upset about the money I spent here! The pulled chicken was ok but it had so many onions in it I couldn't eat it. The Mac and cheese was so bad I could not eat it and the greens were salty I had to throw them away . So please don't waste your time or hard money eating here. Oh the banana pudding was very old and was not tolerable at all . I'm so up set that I ate here read more

My friend and I have gone twice. Both experiences were great- food was delicious, service was fast. I really recommend the brisket and corn pudding. Chocolate cake was amazing! read more

3 dinners. $60 bucks for mostly fat. Don't waste YOUR money like I did. Not first time here, but last.

Instead of sliced or chopped beef my sandwich consisted of one big hunk of inedible fat and gristle that should have been dumped in the trash which is exactly what I did. read more

I absolutly LOVE city bbq. If there was a city bbq fan club I would be in it EXCEPT they don't have mashed potatoes. Come on! add those to your menu and I will buy all of the merch and start a fan club read more

The portion sizes compared to other City BBQ that I have been to was significantly smaller. Spoke to the manager and he said that's how we do it. Won't be back to this location. read more

I wanted to love this restaurant. It is close to my house and I love barbecue! I've tried this location several times and I can only say it is inconsistent. One order was good and the next order of pork had so much bark on it it was just one big hard bite of pepper. It seems like the employees don't understand what pieces should go into a sandwich. read more

First visit at City Barbeque oat the newly open location on Winton Ave. I tried their half slab ribs with greens and pork. The food was ok, the meat wasn't tender enough but chewable. Hated I had to put on my own sauce, but the selection was good, I tried all the flavors, and each one was great. The greens weren't seasoned enough, kind of bland. The atmosphere was nice and peaceful with medium traffic. The part of visiting this restaurant was the generous staff who smiles when they see, ask if you're ok, and assist you volunteer. I felt comfortable and relaxed eating lunch here while looking over some emails and homework. I will be returning soon for a family night out. read more

City Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Service here is so bad. Went to pick up some food online- sat in my car for over 15 min, while employees looked ay my car while sitting there doing nothing. The whole time, I had called the number (after a few min) to let them know I had arrived for curbside pickup- and was stuck in an infinite phone loop. (I don't want to install your app! I have enough apps!) So I finally went in the store and the employees were mostly standing around - took about 2 minutes for someone to meet me at the register so I could tell them I was there for curbside pickup. Finally, now about 20 min in, I finally spotted my food, which had been sitting there the whole time, getting cold. Lastly my order was missing a side and I was told I had to call a number on the receipt to get my money back. read more

Definitely recommend! Always enjoy the turkey and pulled pork naked. The side salad is a nice portion as well. Good healthy option for eating out. Love the outdoor dining option. Employees are always friendly and the know our names (since we seem to go once a week!) read more

If you want mediocre at best barbecue, cold meat and sides, and an abnormal amount of attitude from cashier staff, this is the place for you. Not sure how everything comes out cold when dining in, nor why you'd have someone with no customer service running the cashier. If you have someone waiting 20 minutes after getting their food for their drink, say you're going to bring it to the table and another 15 minutes pass, don't be rude af when they come to ask for the third time. It's not hard to be nice, especially when the customer is already doing so. read more

Stop by this store for quick bite to eat should have kept on moving ! I was served a thin slice of turkey on a bun my fries were a mixture of cold mostly with a few hot fries on top pretty tricky move ! The tea dispensers had light colored tea in them that tasted flat and stale ! I had to choose an alternative drink of mountain dew which I don't drink ! read more

First time here. This location just opened but the service was great, like they all had been working together for a long time. They paid attention when we placed our order and made sure that it was correct. The lady that was checking on the restaurant was on top of making sure everyone had everything that they needed. read more

We, in the neighborhood, were all very excited for City Barbecue! I think it has been three visits so far and I must say I had expected the opening kinks to be worked out by now. The service is hit or miss; some of the employees are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful while others do not even know how to use the cash register let alone make any changes to the menu. I was expecting this to be overcome by the quality of the food, but it can only be described as hit or miss. I'm not sure if my last order came from the bottom of the smoker but my pulled pork sandwich was just several pieces of overcooked "bark". I would love for this location to be a reliable and quick go-to, but unless things improve I cannot confidently recommend. read more

We placed a large order ($170) and there were a few things missing.. minor. All the meat was there. I called to let them know.. and how do we make this right? The regional manager herself drove out our items.. plus much more! A lot more. I have never experienced such great customer service. Thank you Finneytown City BBQ! read more

sandwich was very salty, kinda on the burnt side, fries were decent. sorry to say but as I'm eating this mediocre sandwich I am deciding to never come back to this establishment. I usually don't write reviews like this but this food was not righteous. I couldn't even pour one up for the gtf on this one read more
