Place is clean. Staff was nice. I got the 2 meats and 2 sides and added a rib bone. The turkey is my favorite season well and juicy. I got the pulled chicken, which is very flavorful. I wanted to get the brisket but they do it up charge so I decided to try a red bone instead that was one of my disappointments. It's not as flavorful and seasoned as the rest of the proteins so instead of paying two dollars for a ribbon I should've just got the brisket The green beans are pretty good I'm surprisingly but mac & cheese is decent too. My other slight disappointment is the variety of barbecue sauces but I think that comes down to a preference thing I like mine is more tan than sweet so I'm usually a Carolina barbecue sauce girl they didn't have that but they did have more tangy vinegar sauce, but it's very thin . I also like that they do a hero discount because I am a firefighter so it's nice to be acknowledged . Overall, I would definitely come back here. read more

City Barbeque - 2 meats, 2 sides with an added rib bone - Barbeque Near Me - Solon, Ohio

City BBQ is another one of those restaurants I have a love/hate relationship with. I have to agree with another review that stated they were great when they first opened, but have gone downhill as the time has passed. My first experience was an online order and I my food was not ready for an hour, even though I was quoted 28 minutes through the app. I sat for over 30 minutes in the parking spot and finally a worker coming back from her break asked me if I'd been helped yet. So, I decided on the drive through from there on out. I had a few good experiences through drive through. One where I get home and have to come back because items were missing. I come back through after calling to complain and no apology from the drive-through worker (who was the one who originally fudged the order), just a "here you go". So, this time I leave work to get there a little after 7p, let's say 7:10p. I now have become accustomed to asking what they have left, but usually closer to close which is 9p. This day I ask if they have brisket and they say no. The disappoint hit me. Mentally, I'm like, ...what? Why? You don't close for almost 2 hours. Why is a restaurant known for its brisket, out of brisket so early? They actually tried to cross sell me on ribs, but there's no pork on my fork. Who responsible for the amount of food prepped each day? Do they not care about losing the business? I pulled off and who knows if I'll be back. It's a toxic relationship. read more

The brisket my lady and order was order cooked. Plus seasoned too heavy. Not good. Not even . I will never shop again, this is my second bad experience with city bbq read more

Not going to go too much into this one. City BBQ is a chain as most would know. I have had good food their in the past. This last time was was just okay. I ordered the City Sampler. All meats were pretty tasty, but for 25 bucks, it was no doubt lacking in portion size. That's where most of this review comes from. I ordered hush puppies for a side. That was a mistake. They were the worst hush puppies I could imagine. I felt as though I was eating overcooked chalk. The mac and cheese is decent. I do like the cavatappi noodles (that's what I use in my own), and the sauce was creamy. Taste was a little off to me, but I wouldn't turn it down. Also got their spicy sauce. That stuff is awesome! Just got take out this time, so service was fine. Would I go again? Probably, but it won't be for a while. read more

Bad service. I paid for sides I didn't get. As I drove 30 min to get there, I wasn't going to come back. Very dissapointed, this will influence my decision whether or not I return. read more

Excellent BBQ. Very tasty and moist. The sauce was perfectly baked into the meat. Pleasant service and clean tables available to eat inside. read more

Drove 30 minutes to get here. Arrived at 6:45 pm Restaurant closes at nine Kitchen staff advised they only had turkey. Disappointed that they're open till nine and nothing available to order. read more

Not great, wasn't terrible but leaves a lot to be desired. I tried my husbands brisket because he didn't want it and that folks is all you need to know. read more

Quick BBQ spot to go or can eat inside. We got a combo meat meal and split it. We enjoyed it and got to try ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, two sides and corn bread. I Liked the brisket the best, corn bread was tasty with honey and the potato salad and frys were also good. Variety of sauces available to try. I'm a sauce person so I'm all for that. Sauce area could be tended to a little more. Good for a quick meal. Would come back again. read more

City Barbeque - Combo - Barbeque Near Me - Solon, Ohio

Everytime I went (2). Once thru drive thru, once for take out. Both times something was missing! I thought I checked the bags thoroughly.... Guess not. Being that I stay over an hour away, & would go when I was in town. I won't be wasting any gas going that way! read more

Ordered takeout for 30 people. Order was ready on time. The hot food was packaged in foil pans, perfect for the chafing dishes I had. All cold sides were in sturdy containers. The order came with plates, plasticware and serving utensils. The food was enough to serve 30 people and was quite delicious. read more

We were very disappointed with our order of 2 pulled chicken sandwiches. The chicken was tasteless and soupy which made the buns soggy causing them to fall apart. We reported the issue to the manager but were not offered a refund or a replacement order. read more

The barbeque pork ribs and pulled pork sandwich were tough. Not the tenderest or best BBQ. You had to really use your teeth to bite into the pork ribs. The mac & cheese was dry with just the coloring of cheese. The coleslaw was fresh. Their original sauce was good. The restaurant was clean. I would personally wave people elsewhere for BBQ. read more

CITY BBPEW, COUNT YOUR DAYS, COUNT YOUR DAYS!! Came here with the family after shopping for a little snack, nothing crazy. Got 2 kids meals and the wings. Both kids meals was brisket sandwiches, side of fries and sweet tea. Only giving 2 stars for the kids meals and the sweet tea. Sweet tea tastes like a teenager made it whose parents are from the south. It's has potential! The invisible 3 stars are due to the frozen Tyson wings baked in the "smoker" oven on 350. I'm upset I was lied to about these wings being smoked when they are clearly baked. Not only am I upset, I'm offended! Sweet city Bbq sauce tastes like Dr Pepper, garbage! They might have something with the ranch, it tastes okay! Overall experience, appalled! Taste buds, let down! Money, wasted! City bbq ruined my day! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. We typically love coming here and have amazing food and service. We arrived a half hour before close only to be LAUGHED AT by staff because they were closed? Pointed at and laughed at by employees who closed early and physically went up to windows just to laugh obnoxiously and point. Absolutely disgusted by this behavior. I pray they have cameras that are reviewed because thats no way to treat another person regardless of any situation. read more

Excellent barbecue! I ordered 2 beef brisket sandwiches, fries and macaroni and cheese. It was absolutely delicious!! Everything was fresh and hot. The restaurant was well-lit and CLEAN! It was lunch time, so all of the employees were working like busy bees. They were all friendly and helpful since it was my first time there. They were doing so many pick up orders, and now I know why. I will be back. read more

The food is great! This establishment has been In Solon for a while now, but for some reason it just never even occurred to me to check out the location and I've been going there ever since I realized how much food you get on your ribs, their wings is incredible! The prices are very reasonable. The best part is that I can order a slab of ribs and have it wrapped and ready to go in a few minutes. Instead of having to drive to 'nearby cites when shave a taste for Down Home Cooking", where I am waiting 30 minutes 45 minutes in my car because the inside of that location is run down and totally not professional looking inside. Nor is there anywhere to sit, even if you wanted to sit inside and wait for your order. The city barbecue restaurant has inside and outside sitting, the music is very uplifting and relaxing and I am so looking forward to going there during this summer months and having a nice meal and a clean professional environment. It is not very often that I give reviews, but I wanted people to know the food here is incredible, and it's important to support our businesses here in Solon! 'City B B Q' has it going on!

The family and I went here to grab a bite to eat. Fast-casual restaurant.. I really wanted to try the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, but alas, they were sold out for the day. So instead I tried the Chipotle BBQ sandwich which was a pork, brisket, rib meat sandwich on in a hot dog bun. It was rather tasty. I also love me some Collard Greens and some Hush Puppies. The greens were way over salted for my taste, and the hush puppies were crispy, tender, and delicious. Myself and the family loved the hush puppies. The wife's normal is the Turkey and she enjoyed that. The boy loves pulled chicken and was really blown away by it. I normally get a Meh, but I got he loved it. Service was quick and the food was good. The wife and son really loved the BBQ sauce, I thought it was meh :-). I wish the BBQ sauce was a little more accessible, I would have loved to try them all. read more

4 times in a year - i ask them to double check the order and they claim they did. wrong. - items missing, some food is ice cold. thats the fourth and last time. (its not like they were busy, i was the only customer in the the store) never again. seems to be the solon location only. read more

Nice ambiance, surprisingly wasn't busy! Very friendly staff just waiting for someone to walk through the door. I ordered ribs by the piece (4), Mac & cheese, baked beans & coleslaw. For my sauce I ordered the original bbq & mustard sauce. The mustard sauce was good, I didn't care much about the original bbq sauce. The baked beans were AMAZING it's a must have! Coleslaw was good! They should rethink that Mac & cheese recipe and throw some seasoning in it. The ribs were good as well. I will definitely recommend this place. Gave 4 stars because I was disappointed with the mac & cheese. read more

Best smoked chicken and turkey! Moist and flavorful. The sauces are great! We also enjoy the creamy coleslaw and cornbread. I waited a while before posting this review, and the quality of the food and service is staying high. read more

Oh my... so delicious, I'm picky when it comes to BBQ.. everything was on point down to the banana pudding which is pretty hard to find that is amazing, but they seemed to make it amazing! We tried the Judges sampler with Mac n cheese and potato salad, and a small side of green beans. Luckily I work close, so can grab it to take home sometimes! read more

The food was good. The servers were nice! The turkey might have been the best roast turkey I've had in a restaurant. The smoke sausage was very tasty as well. Their pull pork and brisket were both very fatty. I think Mission Barbecue is better but this place is still pretty good. They also have individual ribs for $1.79 per bone on Tuesdays. read more

The Solon store never has food. I've been there between 5:30 and 7::00 at least 3 times and each time they had only a limited menu because they had run out of food. Isn't it the managers job to make sure that there is enough food ordered to last while the store is opened?? Rude clerk says they close at 8. Why is there no food before 7? Don't waste your time driving there! read more

Met a friend for lunch. We both had seen some negative reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent--tender and flavorful. The service was prompt and friendly. The only negative for us was they had the AC cranked up full blast, and it was uncomfortably chilly inside, but too hot out that day for the patio. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars. read more

This was my first visit here and it was a great experience. I ordered take out online and it was an easy, no hassle process.... walked in and the order was waiting for me near the register. We got the brisket, ribs and chicken along with a few sides. The food was well-prepared and delicious. I'm so glad that there's another great place for take out in Solon besides my other go-to's, Simply Greek and Imperial Wok. read more

Great food. Just went through the drivethru but hush puppies were excellent. So was the chicken.

Amazing tasty bbq and sides here, wonderfully friendly service and great value for the cost. Our family absolutely loved the convenience of the drive through as well. Highly recommend. read more

I have gone to the city barbecue in Beachwood before and it was always good but the one in Solon...soooooo good. I ordered online and it was ready right on time! The food was delicious! We had the brisket, macaroni and cheese, green beans and hush puppies. I will definitely be returning to this location!! read more

The brisket sandwich was hot, fresh and tender! Very convenient and quick with the drive through at night. I have to mention Kyree's service he was very kind and ensured the food came out quickly with everything I needed, he's the man! Will definitely be back. read more

Restaurant is constantly out of ribs, Side dishes greens and green beans very very salty consistently.

Don't bother ordering online! They say it saves time but I arrived at the appointed 8:30 after ordering online at 8:09. Waited and waited. Finally received my order at 8:50... all while watching people walk in, order & receive their food before me. Food was ok. Basically room temp. Ribs didn't have much meat. Pulled pork had pieces of bone & gristle to pick out. Staff seemed friendly but no one seemed to have a sense of urgency. I'll give it one more try but there's other excellent bbq places around. read more

This place is clean and nice, I had half chicken, and the chicken was half cooked, the chicken had blood inside and I could even tear it with my fork, NOT GOOD. Bring a steak knife if you want to eat it, I asked for the manager and he ignored me, and just kept bullshitting with one of the workers, I did talk to someone else and she says that's how the chicken is all the time. I would never go back except the baked beans were amazing. The best I ever had! read more

Amazing! Great food! Wonderful staff! Highly recommend you try this restaurant. Worth the drive from Beachwood to Solon. read more

I placed an order in the app and when we arrived for pickup they informed us that they didn't have anything available that we ordered. With a bad attitude they gave us a refund. We will not be going back to the Solon location! read more

when I walked in the employee kind of yelled at me do you wanna pick up. She had the worst attitude that I've ever had at a restaurant. Then to top of all they had run out of brisket which is what I came for. Why not put a sign on the door that ran out of brisket I will never go back to this place again. It is just as bad as the beach with location. read more

Have had poor service and mediocre food in the past but thought would try it again... place order for curbside, waited 30 minutes until had to go in to get it. When I told the girl I had been waiting outside for 1/2 hour, she said "Oh, we must not have seen the light notification"! When got it home the Sampler we got was hardly enough food for 1person let alone 2! Of course the order was not correct as usual! read more

I was put in charge of feeding 60 middle schoolers and City Barbeque came through! The food was delicious, and they included everything we needed--serving utensils, plates, cutlery, etc. Everything was finished on time and they helped me create a menu that was in budget. Best of all, the kids were happy too! Would definitely use them again! read more

We like the food and there are plenty of options on the menu. A good selection of tasty sides. However, we've ordered takeout twice now and neither order was prepared correctly. So I recommend that you either eat in, or check your bag carefully before leaving the restaurant. read more
