The brisket sandwich was utterly delicious, very tender and flavored brisket with a nice squishy bun to tie it all together. Paired with sauce it made a superb start to my meal. The Mac and cheese wasn't bad at all, kind of tasted like the Whole Foods Mac and cheese but wasn't that terrible, 7/10. Now the banana pudding, wow, some of the best banana pudding I've had from places around here. If you ever nearby please stop at this city barbeque, I can't speak for all of them but this one sure did the trick! - Daquan out

While visiting Hilliard from Texas for work, I wanted to experience how other states do barbecue,…read moreso I decided to try Smoke Licked Barbecue. First impressions were great. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. They even allowed me to sample a few items before ordering, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, I arrived just before 5 PM and they were already out of ribs, which was disappointing. I ordered the brisket, pulled pork tacos, street corn, and coleslaw. The brisket was very tender and moist, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning. The pulled pork tacos had excellent texture and were enjoyable to eat, but the flavor was mild enough that, if I'd closed my eyes, I'm not sure I would have identified it as pulled pork. The coleslaw was also a bit lackluster for my taste and could have benefited from more seasoning. The standout side for me was the smoked street corn, which was flavorful and easily one my favorite parts of the meal. Overall, the service and cleanliness were excellent, and the food quality was solid. I just personally prefer a bolder, more seasoned barbecue flavor profile.

We've been here a couple of times & both times the food & service were wonderful. The brisket…read moresandwich & beef ribs (Saturday special) are seasoned well & tender. The brisket sandwich is simple but tasty. I love the selection of sauces as well. The two sides we tried were the smoked Mac & cheese & tex mex corn - enjoyed both. My favorite is their bread pudding. We get it without bacon but normally it has that. They also have delicious banana pudding. There is plenty of seating inside and outside on rooftop or patio. It's in downtown Hilliard so it's a nice area to be able to walk around & explore after as well. The price for just the beef brisket is $30.00 a pound however my husband & I shared this, a beef brisket sandwich, two sides & a dessert. We were full after for sure. I would even Come back just for the dessert but all the food we tried is delicious. They also have sliders.

The local group also were very excited to be getting their food, so sounds like definitely a winner to those in the know. I opted for the 2 meat and 2 side lunch. I went with the pulled pork and smoked turkey with regular bbq sauce plus collard greens and potato salad. The pork and the turkey were both rock solid. Not necessarily a ton of smoky flavor from either, but both were tender, juicy, and delicious. Unfortunately, the collards were not to my liking. I hail from western NY and I can count on one hand how many times I've had them before and only once from a true southern/soul food joint. In this instance, I found them slightly bitter with the stems still quite crunchy and the juices on the less than pleasant side. I very rarely don't finish food and I couldn't do it. However, my coworker who also got the collards said they were fantastic, so I guess it's a preference thing. The potato salad honestly wasn't my favorite either. It had like almost an acidity to it that was different and slightly interesting, but almost a little overpowering for what I normally find to be a pretty low key side (for mayo-based potato salads, anyways). This one I did finish despite it not being my all-time favorite. Overall, a pretty solid experience, especially in the meat department. Maybe I just had bad luck with the sides and need to try others next time, but that part is holding me back from this being a really solid culinary experience.

BBQ food is usually a sure winner and popular at these types of occasions. City Barbecue is a reliable caterer and the quality is consistent. The side dishes are always well cooked and the meats are moist, the spices are apparent without being overwhelming.

Catering does take some advanced planning of course, knowing the numbers of people and budget. City Barbecue can help navigate all of these questions and help make an event successful.

The bologna was cooked perfectly with a great tasting outside char on it to add flavor. I absolutely loved this sandwich. The beef brisket sandwich was also delicious. The sandwich comes with one side and costs $13. The sandwich was really good and the BBQ sauce was perfect on it. I only wish this sandwich was a little bigger. The service was fast and very friendly. I can see this food truck being a popular attraction in the Columbus area.

I ordered the Brisket Sandwich with Macaroni and cheese, smoked cabbage and baked beans. The Macaroni and cheese was a creamy cheese version that was really good. The baked beans had a really good smooth taste to them. Good stuff. One of the stars was the smoked cabbage, this definitely a must if you're ordering from them. I could have ordered several of these. Delicious!! On to the star of the show. The Brisket, OMG!!! This has to be in top echelon of Briskets I've ever had. It was super moist with a nice tasty pepper crust. It was phenomenal all by itself but you do have some bbq sauce included to add a little more flavor IF you want. Mike is use 3 different smokers for different options for making his products. He is using cherry, maple and hickory for smoking his products.

The star of the show was the sweet and spicy garlic chicken - nice and crispy with an excellent sauce. The Mac salad is reminiscent of my time in Hawaii so they get two thumbs way up to that. Will definitely be back to try their katsu!

There are many broth options to choose from and several of those are vegetarian, so I can get something different every time. You can even switch out broths if you want to try something else. I've tried a lot of the broths but my favorites are miso, mushroom, and spicy kimchi. Once you choose your broth, you have a variety of veggies, meats, and noodles to choose from to add to your pot. It's great that I can come with meat eaters and we are not committed to the same experience as we each get our own pots. Some of my favorite add ins are tofu, cauliflower, mushrooms, water cress, sweet potato, taro, and fried tofu. There are also several good meat add ins, as other people I've been there with love it too. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is kind and helpful. You also get a QR code at your table so if you want more add ins you can request them without bothering anyone. You can also customize your experience by grabbing some things from the self service bar. I like to add scallions, garlic, and red pepper flakes. I've been with a group of six and also with one other person and have enjoyed it every time. Not only is it tasty but it is also a really fun activity.

There was a recent change in ownership. The new owners are still getting their feet on the ground,…read morebut for us the service change has been excellent. I go semi-regularly with my daughter and they always treat her like a queen. Just recently, we had a meal on Halloween and one of the staff brought out a free brownie for my daughter just to celebrate the holiday. The restaurant was already providing a free meal for Halloween, so more was completely unnecessary, but also appreciated and brought a lot of joy. The new owners have had nothing but trouble with the soda machine. When they bought in, there was one of those fancy touch-screen machines where you pick from a million flavors you don't want. It broke, so they replaced it with a traditional soda machine. That one broke and it has been broken for a while. I was told on Halloween that it is finally fixed and now they are just restocking supplies for the machine, so it should be ready to go soon. The vibe of the place has moved from kind of corporate-standard "this is Texas" decor, to more of a country biker bar vibe. There are a lot of personal touches that I really enjoy including some interesting toys scattered around the place and a station where you order your food where you can play sudoku or do a word find while you wait for the server to take your order. There are some rough edges to smooth out yet. On our last visit, there was no plasticware available at the drink station, so I had to go and ask for it. The soda-machine, as mentioned, was still broken, but that is on the mend. I didn't really talk about the food. Seems like some reviewers have had trouble in that area, but I haven't. I don't exactly exercise the whole menu, but my westerner combo with brisket and jalapeno sausage is always delicious and the portion is plentiful. I like several of the sides including the baked beans, potato casserole, and green beans. There are several sauces to choose from and I like the regular well enough. Sometimes I mix it with the spicy for a bit more kick. Many BBQ restaurants can't maintain reasonable meat quality when there isn't enough volume to support it, but I think Dickey's has that mostly figured out. It isn't going to beat the best restaurants in the country, but it is going to provide a decent, consistent product that is worthy of your business and definitely holds up to other places in the area.
