    2 sampler with pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, and green beans
    Ash W.

    Unfortunately, I did not have a good meal here. I don't live nearby, but I'm in the area every couple of months. I will start off saying that all of the employees were friendly and helpful. It's my first time here, I got the pulled pork and brisket with Mac and cheese and green beans. I was excited, the place is busy and clean, great way to start. My food came out fairly quickly and grabbed it and sat down. I took two bites of the pulled pork and almost coughed b/c of how salty it was. Not just a little bit, but it was overpowering. So I just moved on yo the brisket. It was pretty good, but I was still tasting overwhelming salt from the pork. The Mac and cheese didn't have much cheese. The green beans were fine. When I got up to leave, a manager or someone who was checking on customers, asked if I needed a box. I politely declined and explained how salty it all was. He said it was just their seasoning. Then he offered to replace it with something, again, I declined. I was just tired and ready to leave at that point. The manager was very nice and concerned that I wasn't happy with it. Seeing everyone else enjoying everything in a very busy restaurant made me realize that either I just happened to get an overly seasoned part of pork, or I'm just getting more sensitive to salt after some medical stuff. Overall, I will probably try it again to be fair.

    This was my first time trying City Barbeque and I decided to do drive thru. The person who took my order was nice and patient with answering all my questions. I ordered the LoLo's Pulled Pork sandwich with Loaded Cheesey Bacon Fries. The sandwich had pulled pork with coleslaw and was a very good combination of salty and sweet. The bread of the sandwich was super soft as well. The cheese fries had plenty of cheese which is always a plus in my book and the bacon was crisp. Since I ate in my car I don't really know what the inside of City BBQ looks like. Overall for drive thru bbq it was really good and if you're in a rush for a good bbq sandwich without dining in a restaurant City Bbq is the perfect place to go.

    Lunch today was such a great. First time here and the menu was easy to read choices plus server was extra helpful. Chose 2 meat sampler with turkey and brisket with fried okra (best ever had) and collards with sweet tea hubby had smoked chicken meal with creamy coleslaw and okra We both felt we were sitting in my momma's Alabama kitchen. So so good will return many times.

    New favorite BBQ restaurant, finally able to visit city bbq and have a great experince. Casual family friendly atmosphere. Has inside and outside seating and a drive -thu. Great variety of meats and plates. I got the 3 meat platter with turkey, brisket and chicken and two sides baked beans, fried okra and a corn bread. Everything was so delicious and meat are so juicy and tender and flavorful. Great variety of bbq sauces to a Excellent customer service, staff is so welcoming and friendly. They else have a rewards program,when you first sign up you get a $5off your order.

    Our first time to visit this place: Monty at the register was extremely detailed, helpful, and kind. He gave us recommendations and took his time to explain the menu. The restaurant is casual and very fun, with lively music playing thru the speakers The food? The ribs were extremely tender... even the thicker cuts, I was very surprised that they were so tender. The brisket was also a major highlight... slap either the regular, sweet, or tangy sauces on this and it's absolutely wonderful. I liked the potato salad also, but wasn't a huge fan of the cornbread (very nice texture, but the taste was a little awkward for me.) We will definitely be back with our girls though. This is a definite one to revisit!! Ps... we're about to do the chocolate cake for dessert. If it's even half as good as it looks, that'll be another highlight :)

    I've literally been here enough times that they know me by name, so I don't know why I haven't left a review yet. I love City Barbecue so much, and for a place that looks like a regular fast food joint, they have some of the best barbecue I've ever had in Orlando! They recently brought out their pork tips, which are slow roasted and then like glazed with ambrosia or something, I don't know. But we should've ordered five orders of that! It was amazing. I've gone to other barbecue spots all over Orlando, but City Barbecue is the closest to what you would get if you were at someone's house and they had a BBQ master barbecuing in the backyard. Hands-down, the best place ever if you're one of those people who thinks 4 Rivers or even Sonny's barbecue is a good place, please come here and have your mind blown.

    What I loved: hush puppies, baked beans, and Texas Pete Pepper Sauce (which weren't just refilled with vinegar-- it was actually fresh and new!). I appreciated: the variety of soda options, place was clean (but some of the utensils were not clean and had to pick it out), staff were friendly when encountered (placing order/picking up food), to-go containers were nice. Now the bbq: they were ok. Unfortunately, my ribs were dry but edible. I tasted the husby's brisket and pork, for me they lacked in flavor and also dry (in comparison to other bbq places). We made a plate of all the sauces, but none of them made me want more after trying (*shock, this is coming from a sauce girly; plus husby agreed too)-- this made me appreciate the availability of the Texas Pete Pepper Sauce even more. Would I choose to come back-- probably not, only because there are other bbq joints in the area that actually have me craving for their bbq. I wouldn't make my choice based on sides. If someone else really wanted to go here and invited me along, would I join? Sure. This was my first time trying City Bbq and maybe it was just an off day.

    Loveee this place!!!! Don't know if they have other locations in Orlando but this has to be the best one hands down. Exceptional service, China is the best cashier, hostess, honestly she always gives the best customer service. My dad loves coming to eat here because of her and the ribs and cornbread

    We came in for lunch and had a solid experience! You order at the counter and seat yourself, which I prefer at BBQ spots. Service was fast. I got the Dirty Bird sandwich with a side of fries. I asked for no bacon, but got my order with bacon on top. I didn't mind because it's just a preference for me and I could take it off, but for people with dietary restrictions that would be problematic. The portion size is good and I loved the flavor. I wish the chicken itself was a bit more moist, but the flavor and construction of the sandwich was great. The fries were fresh. I also loved the pitmaster nachos and fried pickles. My coworkers loved their greens, okra, and brisket. All the sauces were solid. The atmosphere was nice, but loud. I wish they used pagers instead of shouting your name. If you don't mind it though, the energy is nice. Overall, this is a good barbecue place with a fun menu.

    Stopped in for dinner, a fast food style bbq place but delicious. Sadly this meal started off a bit disappointing as they released a new pastrami but we're already sold out for the day. I ordered the Brisket sandwich instead and it was moist, but definitely could have been smokier in flavor. Not bad for a chain restaurant. We ordered 3-Cheese Baked Mac, Baked Beans with Brisket, and Coleslaw for the sides. The baked beans were good and just the right amount of sweet. The Mac and cheese was great as it was cheesy and not too dry as most of these places tend to be. The coleslaw was nothing special. You order at the counter and then pick up your order. Prices were very reasonable and a good cheaper option in the area for lunch or dinner.

    Solid 4.5 stars for some tasty BBQ. We came here on the recommendation of a friend who has dined here previously. We arrived around 7pm and the restaurant was empty but we were greeted warmly by everyone. I love the open kitchen concept and the seating area was nice and clean. I originally wanted a Pick 2 with Ribs and brisket but there is a $3 up charge for each of those items. Our cashier who I believe was named Leanny, was super helpful and suggested we order the City Sampler and then add ribs on the side as a combo since they aren't a part of the sampler. Ordering this way saved a few dollars. We headed over to the sauce bar to choose our sauces which they have everything from original to spicy. I got a little bit of the original, sweet and swine sauce which is a vinegar based sauce. The city sampler comes with 4 meats. We chose brisket, chicken, sausage and pulled pork with a side salad and 3 cheese baked mac. For the rib combo we ordered half rack St Louis ribs with potato salad and collard greens. Whatever you do get the pulled pork and pair it with the Swine Sauce at the sauce bar. It was delicious! Everything had a good flavor. My only disappointment was that the brisket and ribs were a little dry in my opinion. I usually ask for the fatty brisket when I visit a BBQ restaurant but I forgot to ask for that. The sausage, chicken and pulled pork were the stars of the show. All were cooked perfectly. The sides were all good too! The mac n cheese was so good as well as the potato salad and collard greens. We ended up bringing left overs home as expected. I can't wait to visit again and check out other items on the menu.

    I finally had the opportunity to dine here. I wanted to get some BBQ ribs so I went with a friend, and we chose to dine-in. Even though I knew that I wanted ribs, it still took us a minute to decide on our final orders. I still decided to order the ribs with no sauce, so that I could choose the sauce(s) that I wanted at the sauce bar. The ribs were very tender, easy to get off of the bone and delicious. I was quite happy with this choice, so happy that I had forgot to take photos before digging in. I definitely will be coming back here for the ribs. It wasn't very busy inside so dining inside was a nice experience. There was plenty of available tables to choose from and it wasn't too loud. The tables were clean and the sauce/fountain drink/napkin area was clean and organized.

    The Rundown: efficient and flavorful BBQ chain with a friendly team who focuses on cooked meets. The Review: I first encountered City BBQ at an expo and the samples were fantastic. I was surprised how open the location is, with nice outdoor seating. I was met by Jaylene who walked me through the offerings with patience and offered a great first impression. Kudos to her! I was given my cup and was glad to see lemonade was offered. The food arrived shortly after (fried okra, Mac N cheese, pulled pork sandwich) First impression: what unique fried okra! And wow is that bun shiny. The okra was phenomenal. I've never had it with breading like this and it was wonderfully crispy and okra tasted refreshing. The Mac and cheese was pretty standard, nothing to necessarily wow. The sandwich was very oily, which I guess comes with the territory. They offer a variety of sauces which is handy, and allows you to season to your liking. Overall, the food was pretty good but I was surprised how oily the sandwich was and it made a big mess. But it's BBQ, so gotta expect that! I've just never really had this oily an experience before so that was kind of odd. Between the service, atmosphere (open and clean with variety of seating options), if you're in the mood for quick BBQ this place will likely satisfy. Pricing is a bit above average, bordering on full service prices, but need to realize the attention put into the meat processes to understand it is rather reasonable. Just likely not something you'll be eating at often. Also - They offer drive thru but I definitely recommend if eating in is an option to go that route. You'll still get your food served quick but can appreciate the sit down experience. And the app is worth downloading to get in on their rewards!

Everything about this…read moreplace was phenomenal (aside from their tiny parking lot).The parking is a little tricky but well worth trying to get a spot because the food is delicious here. Tiny hole in the wall but once you're inside there is a very nice amount of seating, both tables and a barstool area to sit at. I placed an order and proceeded to sit at the bar area and wait for my food. Once it came out (super fast despite how many people were there), I understood why the sandwiches here are a little on the pricier side. The Ya-Mon which is jerk chicken, sweet plantains, pork rinds, jalapeno pesto, mango jam, gouda, jerk lime mayo, was heavenly. All the flavors blended in perfectly and the bread was so soft. The lime mayo was outstanding! It was about $16 and we'll worth every penny. The staff was super friendly and got everything cooked and sent out to each table very quickly. I will say if you come here during peak times, be ready to take the order to eat in your car or somewhere else because the tables filled up insanely fast while I was here!

The sandwiches are really creative and actually taste good which says a lot - I feel like most places with this style over-do it. Kind of reminds me of New York City bodega subs but with a twist.

I do wish their patio had more coverage though, great little outside seating area but often the sun is beating down on you and that sucks.
