Ordered pick up. It was easy and food was fantastic we order 1/2 rack of ribs 2 hot nashville chicken tenders Queso with brisket and the Banana Pudding. Surprisingly it was all really good. Tenders had flavor and not too spicy . Ribs were falling off the bone. The brisket itself 10/10 the flavor profile amazing. I ate the brisket cold btw. Glad I decided to try it. This place has daily specials. Check them out. Sorry no photos I was starving! read more

Driving all around Indianapolis shopping for stuff for my kids dorm room, and my kid gets hangry - we decide to see what's around - barbeque with great ratings! I have to be honest, not sure this is the correct location, but I just found out its a chain...I don't care! It was GOOD! We really enjoyed all of the meats and the choices of sauces was super fun. The food was hot and came out quickly, which is good, no one wants to be around a hangry teenager. Oh we just really enjoyed it, but my son could have used an antacid afterwards lol his fried chicken bowl was delicious but spicier than he was used to. I think we ate all but two of the little corn ball thingies. Gotta' look up their name. Funny we picked a chain, but it was good - don't be a snob - come and try it! So next time I'm getting the chocolate cake. read more

Staff is welcoming, fantastic, and friendly. I ordered the city sampler meal which came with Turkey, brisket, pulled pork and Texas style-sausage and 2 sides. I definitely do not recommend ordering the sausage, try anything but the sausage. It does not taste good. The brisket has good moist pieces and then dry pieces. The Turkey was tender but a little dry. I did not enjoy the taste the pulled pork unless it was dipped in a lot of bbq sauce. I tried the green beans, baked beans, and potato salad. The potato salad is delish!! I couldn't stop eating it. If your going to try some meat, recommend ordering the brisket and turkey. Very clean inside and nice decor. read more

The pulled pork and chicken made for an outstanding meal for our family reunion. Both were meaty and flavorful with perfect complementary sauces that were sweet, savory, and spicy. read more

Came here around 7:30 on a Tuesday with my family. Clean, friendly staff. I had never been here before so I was excited to try something new. They were out of turkey and Mac n cheese. Bummer but gives us reason to go back. I ended up getting the pulled chicken with corn pudding and fries. Fries were really good. They were darker with skin on and it was a nice change from McDonald's type basic fries. Chicken was yummy but the corn pudding was missing something- maybe salt or something sweet. It was kind of bland. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My youngest- a Mac n cheese connoisseur, was disappointed about them running out but they did give us free fries for him in lieu of Mac. That was nice. read more

We have only done takeout from here so far, but it's been pretty good. The ribs were a little tough & the mac is pretty plain, but everything else was well-cooked and flavorful. Green beans, baked beans & hush puppies are my recommended sides. The Pitmaster Nachos are my favorite! I get them as my meal when we order & can't even finish them. My husband has gotten a pulled pork sandwich & a chicken sandwich before, and was happy with both. Overall, this is a quality bbq spot with reasonable prices & plenty of options. read more

Good food. People are nice and friendly. This makes our visit all the more pleasurable when the people are nice and then the food comes out correctly. read more

Smelled amazing as soon as we walked through the door. We were a group of 5 and decided to get the Motherload so we could share a bit of everything. We overestimated how hungry we were because it was a TON of food, but made for great leftovers. read more

Fantastic service, old school metal and stone atmosphere, and genuine menu offering tasty bbq and brisket, I dropped in motivated by the twenty five cent pulled pork offer on their rewards program. Had to snag another meaty sandwich to go, both lasted well packaged for my drive home, I cannot complain at twelve bucks and twenty five cents for very decent meals. This is a great chain that demands the loyalty program to balance prices. I don't get the high charges for sides or desserts, a bit odd for a basic slaw to cost as much as a Slim Chicken's shake. Parking is easy in this location, plenty of room right along the Indy to Chicago interstate. I have had much of the menu from other locations, some excellent like brisket and some below average like some sandwiches that need too much sauce to fill in the flavor gaps. Overall I'm more tempted for Chili's and local breweries when it comes to meats to maximize value however when the deal ding dongs I'm here! read more

I pulled into the lot at about 830. The open sign was turned off, and from the dark lot and low visibility in the store, I almost drove off. They were, in fact, open and in full operation, which was weird. Luckily, I frequent the chain regularly, so I knew they should be open. Minus that this location was probably the best location I've been to based on customer service alone. We were frequently checked on and asked if we were doing OK and enjoying the food. There was an extremely hospitable man in a cowboy hat, which was a really cool touch. It made it feel like a legit bbq spot! Lol. Thanks for the good first-time experience at your location. read more

Fantastic spot! Surprisingly busy even at 2pm. As it was my first visit, I previewed the menu online. To my surprise when I arrived, I didn't see the options I had picked out. Then I later noticed a TV screen on rotation advertising the chicken sandwich I had looked at online, hmm. The pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw was pretty tasty though and the sides were excellent. Would definitely come again. read more

My wife and I came here on a whim and shucks I'm glad we did. Typically I'm skeptical of barbecue joints up here in the north but City Barbecue is amazing!! We ordered the smoked sausage which comes on a delicious piece of toast and is covered in coleslaw. Next a sampler with ribs and chicken. The wife got a salad and we got colored greens and some mac'n'cheese. The food was glorious!! We also got an assortment of sauces so we could find one we liked. Turns out we liked them all but the spicy sauce was my absolute favorite! You know it's good barbecue when you feel like taking a nap afterwards. If you have a barbecue jones then City Barbecue is for you!! read more

This was a great barbeque experience. The food was fresh and tasty. I do feel that it was a bit overpriced for what we received. The service was great, however. It was a grab & go experience, which was quick and ready within 15 minutes. I will certainly try them again in the near future! read more

I have been here a couple of times traveling to Chicago. Tonight the food was not good. Mac and cheese was very poor more like cheese water than cheese sauce. Brisket dry and pulled pork bland and both meats cold. Baked beans were the best thing at dinner hot and flavorful. Staff is nice but not paying attention to the trash both were over full. For a Saturday night very few people. Other choices for dinner in the area. The food has been better but not tonight. read more

Absolutely great establishment. Came here for the first time today and wanted to try something new. What I love about this place the variety of premium items and a good array of cheaper items like your beans and rib bones. Great combos as well. Server was really nice and the service was quick. I tried their original and sweet sauce which was also good. Very clean establishment and kitchen too! Would definitely recommend! 4.5 stars! read more

This location really has their stuff together. I ordered on their app from the parking lot across the street, and I received a text message that my food was ready before I even got to their parking lot. The family meal is a great deal for a small family. We had enough leftovers for 2 more meals. read more

When you drive up behind the building, you see a guy stoking the smokers and you get your first whiff of the rich smoky meats and you say this is the real thing. I can't believe this is a chain but so glad to have a City Barbeque close by. They are located in one of the new strip malls in Whitestown. The interior is upscale barbeque decorated in pigs and cows. You order up front and sit and wait about 10 minutes or less for your food order. You can watch the chef slice the meats as you wait. The menu is broad special ingredients in pulled pork and brisket. I was pleased to see some salad options. There are a number of combination platters if you have a couple people to share your meal. The sides are interesting southern barbeque offerings including collards and cornbread. I selected the naked pulled pork and split sides of fries and cole slaw with my husband. They offer about a dozen sauces. I really like the bourbon sauce which was a sweet sauce and the spicy blackberry. The pork was generous, moist with thick smoky flavor. So delicious. The fries were fresh, crisp, five star on their own. The slaw was also fabulous. All in all, a five star barbeque meal. They do a brisk carry out. There is a line a dinner time even on a Monday. On Tuesday they have a special 40 percent off ribs. They sell the sauces for 4.99 a bottle. Unfortunately, there is no alcohol. I'll be back. Maybe tomorrow. So dang good. read more

Missing peach cobbler, bone in my pulled chicken, really pink pieces of chicken, discolored gray spots in the chicken, three out of the six smoked wings, had both human hair and hair from the chicken wing. The only redeeming quality that this location has is the lady with black hair that was doing the cash register, she quickly gave me the peach cobbler and didn't ask any questions and just provided good customer service. Unfortunately that will be the last time I will be going to city barbecue. It's sad because I used to go there as a kid and I wanted to show my fiancé how good it is, but not all locations are the same. I would say that the manager needs to be more involved and not just moving stuff around in the back. I assume that the manager wears like a gray shirt, they were just moving stuff around in the back and clearly need to be focusing on making sure that the Quality of food that is coming out is at least edible. I was doing DoorDash in the area about four or five months ago and one of the people working at night who is extremely nice guy offered me some peach cobbler because they were gonna have to throw it away. After I tried it, I was shocked because it actually tasted pretty good, I will say not as good as mine but pretty good. So I did get that again today as I mentioned, but it was missing from the bag so I had to go back in, But anyway, it tasted really good. The corn pudding was I would say seven out of 10, just needs a lot more corn. The hush puppies were a six out of 10. The moral of the story is, if you do go to this place, I would say don't but if you do end up going check to make sure all of your food is there and stick with meat that could be undercooked like brisket or beef products that they have which I think is just brisket. I have a very sensitive stomach so I will say that I don't think I ate any bad pieces because I would've been salsa dancing with some toilet paper if you catch my drift. It's sad because I personally love riding good reviews or positive reviews on businesses, but I just can't today. Like honestly y'all need to be careful because you could easily get shut down and that is not a good look. I wouldn't say that I am an expert on cleaning a whole chicken, but I get the rotisserie chicken at Costco and I debone the entire chicken and I have never had a single bone in any of the rotisserie chicken meat that I prepare because I am meticulous. Bones are disgusting. They remind us that we are eating meat or a former sentient being. Be more mindful pay better attention, this is directed at the managers. Not at all directed at the regular staff, you guys work very hard and I don't see managers work very hard at this location. read more

This is my second time getting carryout. I was quite impressed with my first visit a few weeks ago, especially with the level of customer service provided by the older woman taking my order. This last visit was a bit disappointing with the quantity of brisket which were just a couple broken end pieces. You guys can do better! read more

Well I'm from ga. The BBQ didn't amuse me. No real smoke. Seems nothing have the same seasons I look for in BBQ. My co workers from INDIANA enjoyed it. So I'll meet neutral on the ratings. read more

The food is delicious, service is great. You can eat in or take out. Very busy. Casual dining.

Pulled pork pretty much all fat and undercooked at that. Paid for cornbread but it wasn't in the bag. Green beans essentially tasteless.

We had dinner here tonight around 8pm and Noah greeted us and made appropriate suggestions. We shared the city sampler and upgraded our sides to the family size. We then added a few other sides as well. We had plenty of food and most of it came home with us. Most everything was cold but still tasted good. I did take the macaroni and cheese back and they stirred up the container and that was better. Baked beans were good as was the potato salad. Collard greens and green beans both cold. Brisket was delicious, sausage, turkey and pulled pork good but cold. Mountain Dew was not good and spewed everywhere which was not cool. read more

A nice addition to Whitestown! This place was PACKED when we went around noon on a Sunday. We waited in line for about 5-6 minutes and got our food very quickly. I was surprised to see things running so smoothly for being open less than a month. Typically I notice some kinks that need to be worked out but honestly I don't have any complaints. I'm not giving a full 5 stars because I enjoyed my food but wouldn't order what I got again. I ordered the LoLo's pulled pork with a side of potato salad. The potato salad was very good! My husband got the smokehouse turkey salad and I tried the turkey which was super good. They have a station to pick from the different BBQ sauces and an area with pickles, jalapeños and onions. Next time I go I plan on trying the brisket which I heard is delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have to give credit where it's due... I was so impressed by the new City Barbeque in Whitestown! The restaurant was packed to the max, with a line to the door but the staff just kept it moving! We waited only a few short minutes before ordering and receiving our meals. The staff was very courteous and friendly, and even though they were extremely business, the tables, drink stations and floors were nice & tidy! I ordered the chipotle pulled rib sandwich with Mac & cheese. It was so bomb! Wow! I've been thinking about it ever since, so I think I'm going to get back there this weekend. My fiancé ordered the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad, and loved it! The meat is so fresh, tender and juicy! The available sauces are delicious and I like that I have the option to get my own pickles at the toppings bar. (I like to load up on pickles & these pickles are awesome!). The Mac & cheese was pretty good, but I make a better version at home. I think I'll get the potato salad next time! Stop in and give it a go if you haven't already! read more

City Barbeque Whitestown is open for business. Not only can you see they are Open you can smell it. One thing I really like about city Barbeque is they cook on site and have it posted that they can run out of something. A great sign the food is fresh. For just opening I was impressed with the speed and friendliness of the staff. Tuesday is the day to go for 40% off rib by the bone. I love the brisket and corn pudding, Mac and cheese and banana pudding The ribs were meaty and good. Nice color, smoke ring and rub! read more

We decided to try them based on recommendations from friends. We had the pulled pork and brisket as a take out. Wow-really delicious! So if you have an hankering for something BBQ this winter season, rather than trying to grill in this dismal weather, order online and stop by to pick up or better yet, dine in. read more

Great location, quick service, good food, & appealing dining ambience were appreciated. I loved the self-service recycling area & the use of real silverware & plates! My group counter-ordered 1 kid's meal & 2 pulled pork sandwiches, 3 sides, & 2 drinks. Total cost was almost $37. The kids' meal was tasty tho the macaroni serving was small. The pork sandwiches were a bit bland until you added the wonderful sauces. Unexpectedly we paid extra for toast. We won't order it the next time as it didn't really enhance the meal much. Beware: the order-person may tell you that 2nd side is discounted but we were charged more than we thought. read more

DO NOT ORDER HERE. I ordered pickup from Doordash and opened the bag. No ribs. Half of my order. 15 dollars worth. I call City BBQ expecting to have them clear up an honest mistake. City BBQ tells me to take it up with Doordash. No consolation, no makeup, nothing. Easily the worst online ordering and customer service experience I've ever had. This happens with restaurants occasionally and I respect that, but this was the worst response I have received. I added two stars simply because the food that I did receive was good. read more

City BBQ promotes curbside takeout. I ordered and received an email telling me the food would be ready at 5:43pm. The app has an "I'm Here" button to tap to let them know you are in the curbside parking spaces. At 5:58pm, I finally gave up and walked in the restaurant and asked for a manager. I told him I had been waiting for 15 minutes past the promised carry out time, and he pointed to a bag of food and says "that's yours." I told him I asked for curbside takeout and that I hit the "I'm Here" button when I arrived. He just looked at me and said, "I was here at that time and I did not get an alarm notifying me you had arrived", in a tone that somehow this was my fault. One of three things happened: 1) either the app button doesn't work, 2) the alarm didn't go off, or 3) the manager was paying no attention, because when I hit the button in my app, the screen changed and told me the food would be right out. So by the time I got home, I had cold, mediocre BBQ. If you want a warm meal, best to eat at the restaurant, and God forbid you would dare tell the manager you experienced a problem with your order. read more

Fantastic BBQ in an easy to get to location right off Interstate 65. Nice parking lot, new building. Clean. When you walk in you get that BBQ smell that proves you are at the right place. We ordered the Sampler Platter with a variety of meat choices and two sides. Every item was delicious filling. Great ice tea and very good lemonade. Staff was friendly and helpful as this was our first time here. Pickles complimented the meal. Bread was included with our meal. Many different choices of BBQ sauce. Very pleased. Good value for the money. Will return. read more

Been here several times, it's an hour drive for us, and the pulled pork and brisket are always good. Only issue, and it's big one, is the meat is lukewarm at best, some of the pork yesterday on my sandwich and my wife's was cold, and this isn't the first time it's been that way for us. I suppose the meat is prepared ahead of time, frozen, then warmed up, barely? Baked beans are delicious and Bourbon sauce is very tasty. read more

First time at any City BBQ and I have admit the food was very good. The restaurant is fairly new. . . so maybe some of my negatives with improve with time. Still planning on going back even with the problems. First. . . the person taking the order totally screwed it up. We got large of everything, but ordered the smaller version. We asked for only one fry and got two. The Manager fixed the bill, but it was a bit of a hassle. Second. . . the restroom had a horrific "fix-it" smell. The air freshener in there almost made me want to get rid of my lunch. Need to tone that down a bit. However, was well stocked and clean. Food was very good. Fries were not as warm as I like and will order to have them crunchier next time. There was a bit of noise in there. All in all. . . good job and we will return. read more

Delicious barbecue in a fun, casual atmosphere! I was traveling for work and stopped in for dinner after a long day of meetings. The staff was friendly and recommended I try the ribs and pulled pork platter. They were so good! The ribs were flavorful and tender. The pulled pork had a great smoky flavor. I highly recommend the baked beans! They were amazing -- full of flavor and pieces of meat. Loved those. This place is in a newly developed part of town and it wasn't too full when we arrived around 6. It did start to get packed as the dinner hour went on so I'd recommend getting there early if you can. Check this place out if you're looking for tasty bbq at a great price. read more

I walked here from the Truckstop on the other side of the freeway. I was hoping for the best. When I got close I saw the Qdoba nearby and decided to go there instead. I knew what I would get from Qdoba and Barbeque places are so hit and miss. This Barbeque place was on the way to Qdoba, so I walked by. The smell was terrific, so I looked inside and it was doing great business. I changed my mind again, and went in. I had a half slab of ribs. They were perfect. The service was fast, even with the rush. I had a salad and baked beans as well. Very good. Their iced tea was freshly brewed. I wish all Barbeque places were this good. A definite hit. read more

Probably my favorite BBQ place in Indy. Not much competition though. Brisket, baked beans, corn pudding and good ice tea. Service was pretty good but the newness hasn't worn off and still drawing a crowd on a Sunday. Picky wife really likes the smoked turkey salad. The Unknown Diner digs it the most! read more
