This was our first time visiting City Barbecue in Woodstock, GA. It's a good location with a convenient drive-thru option and a fairly large dining room and patio. Nick helped take our order. He was super friendly and very helpful. He gave good recommendations. When we asked about the potato salad side, he and most of the staff agreed that it was their favorite. I decided to try the two meats with two sides in lieu of the City Meal because I have never been a fan of Pepsi products. Both the pulled pork and the beef briskets tasted fresh, flavorful and tender. The meat is served without sauce, but they have a variety of choices, including Original, Sweet City, and Brush Fire. We enjoyed the Original sauce, but the Sweet City was our favorite. I did end up ordering the potato salad side based upon the staff recommendation. It tasted fresh and flavorful. I also order the mac & cheese side with one piece of Texas Toast. The mac & cheese tasted a little dry, not very creamy or cheesy. I always order mac & cheese with my barbecue so this is the primary factor behind giving four instead of five stars. We didn't try dessert this time, but I would definitely consider ordering the Banana Pudding the next time we visit. Cheers read more

Food was great! We ordered brisket, burnt ends, turkey, macaroni and cheese, collards, corn bread and cherry cobbler for our family of 6. Everyone loved it, kids can't wait to come back. Service was so friendly, employees walked around to check on our food and refill our drinks. The restaurant was very clean, music was great and everything felt good. We will definitely be back! read more

Since this place opened, I have been there six times and EVERY time my order is wrong. I went back today to give them another chance (it's been almost a year) and AGAIN it was wrong! I ordered the Not A Sloppy Joe sandwich. It was not a sandwich - it was meat slop thrown on a Kroger type hamburger bun and flattened! It was disgusting. Please don't waste your money on this place. Find another bbq place in the area. What a sad excuse for a restaurant! read more

New to City Barbeque, I placed an online order to serve a small group of ladies. The food was exceptional! Everyone enjoyed the variety and quality of the BBQ. My family and I will be back for more! read more

Brisket reminds me of oatmeal, MUSHY and from all appearances, CITY BBQ uses some sort of tenderizer to make their meat seem like it was cooked right, but it has not. Aside from that, there's more flavor in the bun of their brisket sandwich than the meat. What a letdown! read more

City Barbeque has become our regular BBQ haunt near by. This chain restaurant has consistently satisfied our craving for smoked meats. We typically get the same three meat plate that you see here and rarely swerve for any other choices. We like what we like. The chicken was the best tonight because it was the juiciest out of the three meats. The Brisket and pork were good too but slightly drier. Not a problem for my wife, but I like my brisket fatty and juicy. The flavors were there. For the sides we ALWAYS get the green beans. These are some of the best green beans I've had anywhere. Same with the cole slaw. Always excellent. The staff are always very friendly and the food comes out quickly! It's counter service and they call your name when it's ready. There was one young man who hustled and met one of the guests half way. Great service! The restaurant is clean and well maintained and stocked with a nice rustic look with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Plenty of space for large parties. Looks like they do a great catering menu as well and I wouldn't hesitate to feed a crowd with this delicious food. If you want consistency and quick service, you can't go wrong with City Barbeque. Oh and don't forget the banana pudding!! That was a nice ending and tonight we got it for free by leaving an honest review. That review got 5 Stars too! Love this place! read more

Brisket taste was ok, but the chicken was very mushy and the whole meal was cold. Also, the three meat tray was very small for $26. The fried okra was also mushy and cold. read more

City Barbeque - Beef Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Woodstock, Georgia

Amazing service and great bbq! Came in from Cali for baseball at East Cobb and will be coming back for delicious food before we head home.

Worst ribs I've every had. BBQ sauces are to desired.. coleslaw was flavorless. Won't be back.

Brisket and pulled pork were both super tender; glad we chose the family portions for two men and a pregnant lady, lol! Potato salad and mac&cheese were good, coleslaw not too crunchy, and the cornbread super moist!! Only downfall- the peach cobbler I swear was primarily crumbs, with maybe 4-5 pieces of peaches. Will not get that dessert again. Overall, fast service for an after 8pm order on a Wednesday night, and bbq was great! read more

On several occasions we have found way too much fat in the meats. We understand that a little is to be expected, but biting into a big glob of fat is not a happy experience... On a happy note: The green beans are so very good I would go there just for them! Almost as good as grandma's!!! read more

Jimmy is that bbq guy. hiring him saved city barbecue for me. i used to think it was three stars now it takes the cake everytime. thank yall. all the reviews are old and from before Jimmy started working and he turned this place around. youd be missing out not giving another try read more

My family and I stood at the counter waiting to order for five minutes. No one acknowledged us even though they walked right by us a couple of times. It appeared to be understaffed as there were more than 10 orders on the screen and two people scanning through to put orders together. I was really looking forward to having the turkey there but we got the message we weren't wanted and decided to go elsewhere. read more

We were looking forward to City BBQ finally, too bad the customer service was lacking, for some reason at 6:30 in the evening they were out of meat with the exception of turkey. Ordered the burnt ends we only got 5-7 pieces and we paid $13 for it? It has potential but needs to work on things. read more

The BBQ connoisseur is back to City BBQ for a second review. I should have read my first review, because I forgot about portion size. I'm afraid I need an EMT to come by, because I'm just about to pass out from a food coma. Dang! This place is good. Last time I had the pulled pork, so this time I asked for a 1/2 chicken - I won't do that again, because it was so good I ate it all up. My wife would have scolded me for sucking the last little bits of meat off the bone. I can hear her now saying, "Darlin, polite people just don't do that in public." I'd then reply, "Look around, I ain't the only one." I ate all but one piece of Texas toast, and now I can't get out of the chair. I had two sides - potato salad and baked beans. The potato salad was fresh, cool and simply amazing! I remembered from my last visit that I loved the baked beans. All I can say is - "Oh my gosh!" As many of you readers know I have very high standards for my BBQ restaurants - City BBQ exceeds all my expectations. I just need to remember to bring my wife, friend or a coworker next time, because literally one meat and a couple of sides would be sufficient for two people. If we did that, then there might be room for a dessert. 10/10!! And I have only given a 10/10 one time before! read more

Hush puppies and collards get this place to 2 stars. But just look at the brisket. Dry. Stiff. No smoke. It was like biting into particle board. read more

City Barbeque - I mean... look at the brisket. Look at it. It was like biting into a piece of particle board. - Barbeque Near Me - Woodstock, Georgia

Corporate BBQ with a drive through line, you can't expect this to be the best you've ever had. Chicken and turkey were decent but pretty dry. Brisket was moist with a good bark, we received the "fatty" side so I can't speak for the flat. Sides were better than the food tbh. Banana pudding and peach cobbler looked great but did not try. Food took pretty long and people that ordered in front of use were receiving there food before ours. (Only ordered a 3 meat 2 side plate) Decent prices so I guess you get what you pay for. 3.5/5 read more

3.5 Stars. I wanted to give 4 stars but the food could have used a little more seasoning and the pork was a tad dry. The prices were good for the portions. We ordered the pulled pork, corn pudding, baked beans and dinner rolls/ cornbread. The pulled pork needed a bit more seasoning and was a little dry. Good portion for the price, but would've been better if we enjoyed eating it. The baked beans were good! Cooked with meat and seasoned better than the meat. Really enjoyed the cornbread pudding. Something different rather than getting Mac and cheese. Would definitely try again to taste the brisket. read more

Great barbecue! Huge portions. Service is a little slow, but very much worth the wait. Even if you've got a very healthy appetite, you'll probably need it to go box. read more

Our son requested BBQ for his birthday dinner but we didn't have enough time to cook and prepare a large meal for him and his friends. My husband found City Barbeque through a Yelp search...apparently the Woodstock location has been open for 3+ years. Absolutely the BEST brisket ever!! Pulled pork, ribs, and sides were also delicious!! Can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be putting City Barbeque in our regular dinner rotation. read more

brisket was great! my dads pork was 95% fat so that was disappointing.. also the peach cobbler was probably the worst peach cobbler I've ever had but i will be back for the brisket and the INCREDIBLE customer service. However, I hope they can make improvements on the pork plates and look at it and see that it's all fat before serving and hopefully get a new peach cobbler recipe, in the nicest way read more

Went in to get take out. They were out of baked potatoes. Ordered anyway. While waiting the girl came over and said she had potatoes and got me what I ordered. Super duper nice!! read more

The food is just not good. Tried it a few months ago and it was pretty good definitely worth going back too. Got it last night and I won't go back. It was not good any of it. Well Texas toast was okay but the rest was just gross and didn't taste good. Curb side is a joke too sat there for over 15 minutes after telling them i was there. Had to go in and get food which was just sitting on counter. Only about 3 or 4 employees working in there. read more

I visited the Woodstock city drive-through today and don't understand why it took 15 minutes to get a pulled pork sandwich. There may have been two people in the I'm sure the pork is already made. The person took my to be my tea and walked away. The food is great, but that's crazy. read more

Everything's dry, ordered the 3 meats 2 sides platter. No flavor and dry. Fries get soft when wrapped in their paper. My beer had two inches of head. Just not a good bbq joint. read more

Wahoo!!!! A new BBQ place in town that has gluten free and other options! We saw it and stopped in ASAP! First off everyone was friendly, they knew the menu and ingredients even though it's all online if you want to plan ahead. We came on a Saturday so it was busy but the food came out hot and fast! The place is clean, lots of seating inside and outside. We got the smoked Turkey, Brisket, beans, cole slaw and potato salad and everything was delicious! Good sweet tea and good lemonade! Kids and adults were happy! This is NOT cheap fast food but real food, real ingredients and great flavor combos. I can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Met up with the family to try this place which is across the street from my sons house. Awaiting the opening and finally it came. We all ate a variety and shared with everyone. Picked out faves and will come back for them. Topped off with Banana pudding which was pretty good.(according to southern familiar that joined us) I'm a poor judge because I don't like them... forgot to take pics but got a menu in... lol read more

City Barbeque - Incredible brisket!! - Barbeque Near Me - Woodstock, Georgia

I've tried this restaurant twice before and the bbq was mostly fat. I haven't been in a loooooong time but decided to try it again today. I got the Pitmaster nachos with pork. There was very little edible meat on the nachos. It was mostly large slimy globs of fat. So gross. The service is great, but I will never go here again. I don't enjoy paying $17 for food I have to throw away. read more

Just got back home from a first time visit. I'll start with the wins. The banana pudding and apple cobbler is amazing! Chef's kiss. Do yourself a favor and grab both, get the pint of banana pudding, not the small one. It has caramel in it and it's truly yummy. Corn pudding is a must! Delicious. Mac & cheese is good and the baked beans are ok. Now for the loss and it's a big loss because it's the main attraction. The brisket. I got the half pound for $12.99. It's dry with no seasoning. I was greatly disappointed. Literally ate two slices and threw the rest away. I wasted hard earned money on that! I'll return to try the pulled pork and hopefully it's better. If you go don't get the brisket!!!!! read more

All of the food I ordered was on point for a yummy southern barbecue experience. Really enjoyed the sides, brisket and chicken.

Great food! Turkey is amazing. I have hopes of a City BBQ in Villa Rica. Brisket is super good.

Ummm .... YUM! On a whim we ordered City Barbeque tonight via DoorDash. As a fan of BBQ, it was my quest to check out how City Barbeque compares with the rest. From a packaging perspective, everything came neatly packaged, well wrapped and with plenty of sauces, utencils, and napkins. So from a service perspective, this "to go" order was on point! Fast forward to us getting out all of the food, 1/2 Chicken, 12 Wings, Baked Mac & Cheese, Fried Okra, BBQ Beans, hush puppies and sweet tea and WOW what a spread!!! Within minutes I had BBQ sauce all over my hands and was chowing down on an amazing smoked chicken breast. Tender, juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection. I had multiple sauces to try and found the original and the sweet sauce to be my favorite. Next I started munching on the baked mac & cheese, fried okra and bbq beans....the sides are all equally deserving of being the "pick one" as an add on to your entree. Like these are deserving of a prize - each one of them! The hush puppies and Texas toast were also good, however, it was hard to have room for bread after cleaning my plate. What an amazing experience, from start to finish the food was hot when it arrived, flavorful and so good! I am surprised we hadn't visited before, but we certainly will in the next week or so...and then I'll make sure I am camera ready so you can feast your eyes on what City Barbeque has to offer! read more

Great BBQ spot with great inside and outside seating and plenty parking .I like places that are nice and clean like this with an open kitchen that everyone can see. What is also nice is that they have a drive through option .Their beef brisket is amazing. read more

some of the best BBQ i have had in a while!! So so so amazing! Really good costumer service and beautiful building :)

I have ate here several times and it can be very good or just OK. Pork is normally safest bet and I order it more often. Brisket can be dry and overcooked. Ribs tend to be on smallish scale but when not too done are quite good. Specialty items that they have occasionally were really good, smoked pastrami and pork belly burnt ends. A couple of sides I enjoy are the fried okra and potato salad. read more

Best fresh barbecue in town! Drive through is a plus!! Ain't nothing like a fresh batch of smoky authentic tasty meat! My Gosh!!

Ok city barbecues food is usually amazing but this new one seems to not Have the science down. The one in Sandy springs rocks specially the peach cobbler. Maybe it's just a new team at this location I'll try again soon read more

So happy to have a City BBQ closer to our home now! The food was amazing, the service was great and so, I couldn't ask for much more. Truly, zero complaints. The atmosphere is fun, inviting, and most importantly with 2 small children- family friendly. read more

City Barbeque - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Woodstock, Georgia

Good, friendly people run this restaurant. The brisket, potato salad, and greens were very good. But why so expensive? I bought a pound of brisket to bring home. When I opened the container, I found a couple of tablespoons of clear liquid in it. I didn't have a scale to weigh the actual brisket, but I hope I was not paying for the clear water-like liquid. The interior was clean and well maintained. read more
