    My fiancée was treating me to a post-birthday dinner, and I specifically wanted City Barbeque because I had it a couple of months ago and was absolutely floored by how good it was. Unfortunately, this visit was a major letdown. We chose this location over the Blackmon Dr. one solely based on the health score -- this location was showing a 100 while the other had an 86. In hindsight, I wish we had gone back to the original spot. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt off. Every employee we encountered looked at us with visible disinterest, almost like our presence was an inconvenience -- and this was well before closing. We stood at the counter for about five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. The employee who eventually took our order was patient while we decided, but she spoke so quietly that it was hard to hear her. The biggest disappointment, though, was the food. It came out cold, which was surprising and frustrating. I know and love BBQ, and temperature plays a huge role in flavor. Even assuming all locations receive food from the same distributor, this meal tasted noticeably different -- and not in a good way. The cold temperature absolutely impacted the experience. To make matters worse, the condiment station was messy and unclean. When I picked up our food, I thanked the employee and wished him a good day, only to be completely ignored. That small interaction really summed up the overall lack of hospitality. We walked away extremely disappointed, especially given that this was meant to be a celebratory post-birthday meal. I will absolutely have City Barbeque again -- just not at this location.

    I'm typically weary of chain barbecue restaurants and now confirmed for good reason. Barbecue is a cooking technique and cuisine that requires attention and dare I say, "love". I didn't get any of that in the three meat combo that I ordered. The brisket and chicken really weren't notable at all and lacked memorable flavor. The turkey was perfectly and stood out between the three meats. I'll admit, the crispy baked potato was one of the best I've ever had.

    Food: So good that I picked up some for my Xmas dinner Service: Very friendly older gentleman serviced me Ambiance: BBQ style restaurant Parking is right in front & they also offer have curbside pick up via app check-in

    Okay-bbq. My husband was craving bbq and wanted to try this place out. We ordered pulled pork, pulled chicken, and chicken thigh with leg. For our sides, we tried the mac &cheese and corn pudding. We've definitely have had better bbq. The flavors were not there. The buttered toast was really good though. Probably what was most disappointing to me was the banana pudding and chocolate cake. Usually, chocolate cake recipes call for a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of all the other ingredients. This chocolate cake tastes like it contained a cup of salt. All I could taste was the salt. I think my friends would be shocked to hear that I threw away my favorite dessert.

    Mac n cheese, fries, brisket, turkey, and Texas toast!

    Walked in at prime time on a weeknight, and there were a few customers dinning in but a whole lot of to go orders. The inside has plenty of seating, there's also a large patio, and it has the overall look and feel of a chain bbq place. Took a while to order at the counter, as the person ahead of us had a lot questions. Would have been nice if they'd added a cashier to speed us along, but once we ordered the food came quickly. The fries were cold but were quickly exchanged with an apology with some fresh ones. The brisket was ok, chicken good, and the turkey surprisingly my favorite. Mac and cheese was also top notch, rich with a cheesy crust. Everything was a good sized portion too.

    What the heck happened to the menu??!!! There is no family meal, and the single serving meats are incredibly small. The side item containers are now super small too--- literally one scoop. Everything is now an upsize for additional money. Not only that, but they squeeze all the meats in one container with a piece of toast. :( Buns and cornbread is extra. This used to be my favorite spot to pickup a family meal. Today was my last visit. $22 for an itty-bitty single serve meal. I was so disappointed. On top of it all, they had no peach cobbler!!! This was my kids' school cheer squad's go-to place for meals before games and my family's favorite dinner spot for bbq and brisket. Goodbye forever City Barbecue. sobsob...

    Great food at City BBQ! My review is based on catering order for 20 people. They did a great job with the food and set up. We had brisket, chicken, baked beans, green beans, corn bread, and cookies. See pic. Nice layout on plastic sheet with each item labeled including the three different types of sauces. The food. My choice was sandwich with brisket, chicken, and spicy BBQ sauce. With side of green beans and baked beans. Very tasty. All the other folks enjoyed their food and more than enough to go around. My next task is to visit the restaurant which is conveniently located in large shopping complex with lots of free parking. Got to try the ribs too. Enjoy!

I took literally one minute to take a photo of my food and by the time I started eating it, it was already getting cold. I got the one protein plate and of course went for the smoked and grilled wings because I had been dreaming about them since 2021. They were still very tasty and I love the variety of sauces that get served with it. My favorite was the cilantro sauce, but the lemon pepper was really good too. The brussell sprouts flavor was good but they seemed old though, like they had sat for a long time and then been reheated. Also, we got there at about 8:15 PM and they closed at 9pm. I had been traveling all day and this was the first place we went after leaving the airport. We ordered the craft sodas and were very excited about them but pretty much as soon as our food came out the gentleman from the counter informed us that they were closing down the soda machine. I was pretty annoyed because those sodas are close to $5 apiece and I was hoping to try a couple flavors. I get that they wanna get out of there, but we were paying customers. If they were gonna close the soda machine as soon as they got our food, they should've told us that when we were ordering.

The sausage was ok, it had cheese inside of it. All of the sides were average to good. I like that the platter was served with onions, good pickles, and white bread. That part reminded me of bbq at home. It's pretty easy to order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty. I'm guessing they have more lunchtime traffic. I do plan to come back a little earlier so that I can try their wings before they're sold out.
