Love this place! This location is one of there best! Friendly and Fast Service. Food is always great! Pulled Pork Sandwich is what I got this past weekend. This place is so good, it is hard to know what to pick on the menu, because it all very good. read more

We eat here about once a quarter. We come for the food. Only service is when you pay for your order - everything else is self serve. Ample seating, inside and outside. Enjoy the warm barbecue sauce available (all you want) to add after you've ordered your food. Sweet tea is good. Daughter enjoys their green beans and potato salad. Big hit for the entire family. read more

All City BBQs are awesome but this one is my FAVORITE... Great patio, stellar grub and the employees are super friendly.. Check out Cornhole boards on the patio and Icecream next door provided you have room after plowing down some of this angelic food!!! Mmmmm read more

I go quite often, so think a review is in order. Very good Texas style Barbeque Joint (except no 3-4 slices of bread with the Que). Love the corn "pudding" side dish. Service is better than other reviewers state - but some confusion about the frequent diner card and the coupons (wish they couild just use phone number).. They have a good take out service as well. I will go there about twice a month. read more

Top notch fried catfish. It's on their secret menu during Lent. We paired it with fries and a side salad and it couldn't get better than that! The fish was nicely cooked and the batter was quite tasty. The salad greens were quite fresh. Thanks for a great meal! read more

It was our first time here and it did not disappoint. We were able to split the judges sampler between 3 of us and still had plenty to take home. We especially enjoyed the pulled pork and hush puppies. read more

The decor here is roadhouse inspired with the typical roll of paper towels at your table. Clean with classic blues music playing as you enjoy your meal. The City Sampler Platter was an excellent choice for two people to sample all the meats; two of you may not even finish it! Make sure to include the brisket as one of your meat choices. Also you are committing a crime if you come here and don't get the collards. The Bush Fire sauce (kept heated at the side the of the restaurant) is also a must try (note: it's quite spicy!) Pass on the Mac and cheese, it's bland and not worth the space in your stomach. The open cooler of bottled beer (mostly micros) is a nice touch. read more

Happy 4th of July! I just had the best meal at City Barbeque! We got the Judge's Sampler with chicken, ribs, pulled pork, full cut brisket, corn bread, Texas toast & 2 sides of our choice. We ordered mac and cheese, and potato salad. As first timer's our drinks were free. The meats were moist, tender and full of smokey, yummy goodness. The mac and cheese was ooey gooey and very tasty. The potato salad was the best I've had in a very long while. Their iced tea is fresh brewed and the lemonade is homemade and tart/sweet. The staff is friendly and helpful. By the way, I love the music! Can't wait to come back! read more

City Barbeque - Judge's Sampler. The menu says "enough for 2"... you could really feed 3 to 4! - Barbeque Near Me - Powell, Ohio

The pulled pork and brisket are my favorite meats here, always legit. I only recently found out about the vinegar sauce which I didn't think I'd like but now can't live without. The turkey is great but I tend to be a turkey guy only around the holidays. The pulled chicken sounded boring to me, but tasting a bite made me see otherwise. If I had to only pick two sides I'd have to go with the beans and potato salad. The beans have brisket in them, so there's that. Potato salad is usually a really boring thing, but not here. I think it might be the egg in it, or something else, but I could eat a pound of it and I tend to dislike the potato salad at many stores and sandwich places. If you really like the salty/smokey outside of a smoked brisket or pork, ask for "extra bark". Once I started doing that I haven't gone back. Oh, and ask for a sample of something you haven't tried before, I would never have tried their potato salad before, or tried a rib before on a buck a bone night. Worth it. read more

Team is ALWAYS friendly and genuinely concerned with ensuring we have a great experience while we're there. On a side note..... you've recently made a change to your ribs (I believe the rub recipe is ever so slightly different is what an employee told me) and while I can't taste the difference, the tenderness of the ribs themselves is awesome!!!! Use to avoid eating the ends as they were usually tough and chewy but not anymore. Didn't know what I was missing til I tried the new ones and they are GREAT. Thanks for always looking for ways to improve your product. We are "customers for life" Shane read more

It tends to be a little overpriced and this one didn't even have trays or plates for our food. I also ordered the beef brisket but the meat was not warm. The Gumbo was excellent but the serving size was at least half the size of the last one I had. The best part of the meal was definitely my delicious French fries! Overall everything is good but nothing is really spectacular read more

One of our "go to" places when we don't want to eat dinner in. We can't choose just one item as we all have our favorites. Staff is very friendly. We always leave there satisfied. read more

My husband and I choose this location every time because it is so much cleaner and well maintained than the Henderson Road location next to our house. Usually we have friendly service, but tonight we had the most kind cashier and I hope they see this review! I did not catch his name but he had the most beautiful long black hair and the kindest personality. He graciously took our order, accepted my many birthday gift cards, and then immediately after telling us we had a remaining $0.70 balance, he let us know that he would like to cover that remaining cost. It was so unexpected and truly made our days. We will continue returning to this location for years to come. Thank you for always being so kind to us! read more

Ana was the cashier taking the order and she was very helpful with suggesting things for myself and my son to try. Offered a sampling of the potato salad which was delicious. Brisket was amazing. We'll definitely be coming back. Big portions and great food. Enough for a couple more meals. read more

The corn bread has a funny after taste - like too much baking powder in it. The pulled pork/sauces were fine. The staff was efficient but not engaging. read more

Way overpriced for what you get, in my humble opinion. We had a couple simple platters of food with simple but tasty iced tea. Total was $33.00. Food was good but in no way great. We left saying, "overall value and amount of food fell well below the cost." read more

Went there tonight looking for brisket only to find a sign on the door saying they were out of brisket. What kind of Barbecue joint runs out of brisket. Got pulled pork. Meat was good. Sand which bun was mushed and a bit soggy. Overall food was good. What turned me off was the trash can was overflowing as was the bus tub for plates and silverware. Leaves me to question cleanliness behind the counter. I worked in restaurants long enough to to know if it's dirty out front, chances are it's dirty in the back. read more

In spite of the crowd they took the time to greet me, ensure the order was correct, and thank me. Well Done. The food, as always, was great. read more

Love this location. The staff is always friendly and helpful, never any complaints about the staff. Got the 2 meats dinner tonight, ribs, beef brisket and mac and cheese. Loved it all. My husband got pulled pork and chicken with greens and mac & cheese, my grandson got ribs and fries. The fries are fresh cut, and super good. The ribs were perfect, they are perfect with just the rub they use, so I eat half just like they are served, and then rest with the sweet bbq sauce, because I love the sauce. My husband prefers the hot & spicy sauce, they also have a mustard base sauce, so between the 3, there's one for every taste. The peach cobbler is really good, with fresh whipped creme, doesn't get any better. read more

Excellent food. Great service. One of the few takeout places that never forgets a part of my order. Especially love their corn bread and desserts are good too! read more

Eileen here numerous times. Always very friendly. Quick to deliver your meal. Has our meal correct 95% of the time. Great place good quality for the food and the value. read more

We ordered City Barbeque for our combined graduation party yesterday and the crew at City Barbeque did an OUTSTANDING job for us. We had ordered 8 Party Packs which is a lot of food. The crew kept accurate track of the order, called to clarify details as we wanted sides to be made vegetarian, and they called to make sure we had all the plates, flatware and utensils for our large party. The food and all the accompanying items were prepared and ready at the scheduled time and completely accurate. The crew helped to load it in our vehicle and it was so easy to set up at the party. Everyone at the party LOVED the food and we had very little left at the end of the party. I cannot say enough good things about our experience ordering food for our graduation party from this City Barbeque! read more

Hands down, the best City BBQ location around. Great portions, amazing food and the staff are always a pleasure to be around. I tend to eat here at least once a week while at work and never regret it. read more

I really enjoy eating here...whenever family is in town, we always take them here and they LOVE IT! The corn pudding is excellent and all the meats are tender and full of flavor. Best place for BBQ with a homestyle tatse here in Columbus. read more

Complete garbage dinner again, 2nd time in a. Row. Ribs were drier than a slab of leather and the chicken fingers were like trying to chew rubber. Won't be visiting there again. read more

Always enjoy going here: great friendly service and the food is so good. Lately I have been enjoying the smoked turkey, so tasty and very mouth watering lean. Don't forget the hush puppis either! read more

Superb barbecue. Ask for the brisket with extra "bark" (the black stuff with all the flavor.) Also the turkeys and turkey breasts are great. When you compare the price to buying the raw turkey and cooking it, City BBQ is the better value. read more

Had a awesome first experience at this BBQ JOINT...I had never eaten bbq up north as I'm on vacation from Florida. Neat concept with no wait staff. It is pricey but so worth it. You walk up order and sit with your food and clean up yourself so if your a snobby type don't bother. I had the ribs and collard greens and green beans cooked with pork. FANTASTIC and fall off the bone ribs,nice and juicy. They have excellent sauces I loved the mustard sauce and the one they call Swine wine so good. My fiancé ordered the fried pickles(huge portion) they were perfect overall great experience. Just don't go if your running low on money it's pricey. read more

This place is a farce.When they first opened many years ago they were very good but as they have expanded the bbq has gotten worse.The last several times i have eaten at various locations the ribs were dry and had a crust on top that was hard to chew.my wwife and i keep saying we are not going to go back and we mean it this time. read more

I'm sure this won't be a popular review but I've got to keep it real. I go to the one in Powell as my husband loves the BBQ but I am a vegetarian and mainly eat healthy and there really are no options if you're going with a meat-eating group. Two kinds of green beans...both with meat. I fully appreciate it is NOT meant to be a vegetarian place or healthy but even one option would be nice. Service is great and my husband loves it but I wish they had a least one healthy and/or vegetarian option for those of us going with the family :) read more

we had our company Christmas lunch today.....20-24 people.........the meal was amazing and the amount of food was plenty enough to feed everyone twice....i appreciate the crew and the Manager Kevin was extremely pleasant to work with and i highly recommend this service to anyone hosting a party for family and/or business functions.......our gang just loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the peach cobbler is incredible) thanks City Barbeque/Kevin Mike read more

I love this place. We eat here almost on a weekly basis. The food tastes greatI. t's always clean.The staff is always friendly, helpful and provide great service. read more

The team was friendly, pointed out what the specials were, advised me that I had a reward on my City BBQ Card and provided great food and excellent service. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Not sure what happened to this restaurant...anymore when we visit it seems the food is just ok...the service is just ok - at times it feels like we are hustled thru the line to get our orders in and paid for by someone who clearly doesn't want to be working there. Our food is sometimes less than what we used to get on the same exact order..not sure why. Perhaps the person cutting up the food is holding back, or perhaps they are trying to maximize their profit by limiting the quantity of food...who knows. The brisket is either good or ok at times...used to be consistant with the quality but anymore there is usually mashed up beef brisket mixed in. Who wants to eat mashed up beef brisket? They were also out of ribs...what BBQ establishment runs out of ribs?? Their mac and cheese is creamy and their vinegar slaw is killer, I could just eat a half gallon of that alone. Overall our experience here is a hit or miss...so we will likely visit other bbq places in the area next time. read more
