With so much happening, we appreciated having a convenient option close to our school and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. I arrived early, as usual, and the team was already preparing our order. One employee greeted me warmly before connecting me with Jack, who was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. I watched him carefully check off each item as he packed everything, making sure nothing was missed. Jack also helped carry the order to my car and load it. Another employee, who was already off the clock, stepped in to help as well. Their thoughtfulness made me feel truly taken care of. The restaurant was also clean and well maintained. Our teachers and staff loved the food! The pork, chicken, and delicious sides gave everyone a variety of options, and everything was hot and ready to serve perfect for our busy evening. Thank you to Jack and the City Barbeque team for making the process so easy and helping us take care of our school community. I look forward to returning!

I was disappointed in the fried okra, but the potato salad was good and the brisket was very good. I like the sweet BBQ sauce but they have several different kinds. Tea is great too.... The dining room was not very clean....had to search for a clean table, but finally found one, and we came at a down time, it was not busy at all. I did not see anyone cleaning tables the whole time we were there and we sat and talked for awhile. My friends got pulled pork sandwiches and both got mac and cheese. They said it was all good and they had never been here before. The food came out quickly, but was put in take out bags and I know I said it was dine in....oh well, I did take some of mine home for later, but the other two ate all theirs. If it had not been so hot, we would have sat outside. The tables there looked nice. I would return to this location.

I tried the Big Dampf Sandwich--sliced brisket topped with pulled pork, served with a side of mac & cheese. Holy moley! The smoky, bold BBQ flavors were absolutely incredible! I loved it so much that I had to make a second trip to try the brisket sandwich with a side of beans, and once again, it did NOT disappoint. Both sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and packed with that delicious smoky BBQ taste. Try the banana pudding...so good! They're also currently taking Thanksgiving pre-orders, and the menu looks AMAZING!!!! A few tips: ORDER ONLINE! The line can get super long, and you may be waiting quite a while. Even with an online order, expect about 10-15 minutes at pickup because they literally slice the meat fresh right there for your order, which I absolutely love! They also sell merchandise, and keep in mind that they can sell out online pretty quickly. Orders open in the morning for same-day pickup, and once they're sold out, that's it for the day! Definitely worth making a stop if you're in Cary and craving some seriously good BBQ!

Today was my first visit and I knew it would be something special. The owners, brother's Nick and Bryce, have mastered the flavors of the iconic cuisine of the Lone Star State. The brisket is incredible, and when you add a sausage link, it takes it to another level. My side of Jalapeño Cream Corn tasted like it came from my grandmother's kitchen...creamy, comforting, and with just the right amount of heat. The setting adds its own magic. Located in Cary, the drive takes you through the city, but as soon as you turn onto Good Hope Church Rd and turn into Phillips Farms of Cary, you're transported straight to the country - rolling pastures, open space, and a relaxed atmosphere. The scenery alone sets the tone, but then the music kicks in. Texas' own Stevie Ray Vaughn, followed by classic country tunes. Between the landscape, the music, and the smell of barbecue in the air, I felt like I was back home like a warm Texas memory. The staff is fantastic...kind, helpful and they clearly take pride in what they do. They serve from a large food truck, but the set up feels like your at a favorite outdoor restaurant. You dine outdoors at picnic tables under a pavilion, giving the whole experience, a cozy downhome feel. And here's one of the best parts: they are opening a second brick-and-mortar location in downtown Durham in November 2026!! It's no surprise they have earned a spot in the Michelin Guide as a barbecue favorite...they are, without a doubt, Dampf Good!!!

We also had an order of Peach Chipotle boneless wings, that were also really flavorful, solid crispy beard g and quality white meat. One in our group was not really into wi gs, so we tried the Mac and cheese - good, but not the best thing we ate. We will certainly start tracking this truck and back for more. Highly recommend!!

Got the collards, baked beans and pulled pork at the rec of a sweet man who checked on us while we were waiting to order. Pulled pork is one of my most loved bbqs, and theirs might top my list in the area so far. We immediately started planning to come back for that alone. Orange crushes and sides were also absolutely on point. Everyone was incredibly sweet on staff, and the restaurant was clean and attentive. I'm looking forward to returning to try more, thanks to the team for the wonderful and friendly service + quick meal! Prices were also far more reasonable than what I expected and the quality of food was incredible.

Awful experience with this food truck, which was at the North Carolina agricultural fair at the…read morefairgrounds last month. I noticed the total ring up higher than I expected, so I asked the cashier to breakdown each charge. She did so and said "the rest is taxes." It still didn't add up right to me, but I said OK, let me pay and then I'll look at the receipt. Sure enough, the receipt has a 10% "Delivery Fee". Huh? When I asked about it, she got snippy and defensive. She called the owner over (or I assumed he was), who said it was a 10% extra charge because of the high prices that they are experiencing, including in propane. I asked why the cashier couldn't have informed me of the charge before I made the purchase, instead lying and saying it was a "tax." nor was it posted on the menu board or anywhere else. This upset the cashier who started huffing around and acting irrationally. The owner that gave me a chance to cancel the transaction, but I went ahead and ordered the food. There are a whole bunch of problems with this. First, they nowhere posted that there would be a 10% surcharge for fuel or for higher costs incurred by them, or any other reason. This is just stealing plain and simple and violates state law. Second, when I inquired about it, the cashier lied and said it was for "taxes." Third, when she brought the owner over, she started walking around throwing a fit because apparently I questioned her truthfulness. Whatever, the food was poor at any price. Coleslaw was completely tasteless. Pulled pork was dry and thin. Only thing decent was the barbecue sauce, but they gave you about a half of an ounce in a tiny container. Highly recommend you avoid this dishonest and poorly run food truck.

When you arrive parking can be a bit tricky in this area depending on what time you arrive. We parked on the side street and walked over vs. parking in the lot out front. Walking in the restaurant feels historic, unpretentious, and casual. To be seated you'll check in with the host and then be shown to your table. We opted to sit outside as the inside dining room is a bit small. To start I ordered the Cherry Poppins cocktail (cape fear frying pan bourbon, lime curd, cheerwine soda) which had a pretty heavy bourbon pour but was good. For food we ordered the Meats & the fixins sampler with chopped bbq pork, fried chicken dark, brisket, and smoked wings (tossed in lemon pepper). For sides we ordered fries and the Mac & cheese. Wow, the stand out item by far was the fried chicken as it fell apart, was super moist and wish I ordered more of it. Our server even jokingly mentioned the fried chicken was better than the fried chicken she makes at home. Overall this was a great experience and definitely check out Clyde copper's bbq if you are in the north Raleigh area.

We got brisket, dark meat fried chicken, chopped BBQ pork, and smoked wings with lemon pepper spice rub - plus mac and cheese and fries for our sides. The platter also came with pork skins and hush puppies. The brisket was unfortunately quite dry, which was not ideal given it was a $4 upcharge. I would skip that next time. Everything else was great though. The fried chicken was AMAZING. Like I would easily come back just for that. Also the hush puppies are incredible. Some of the best I've had anywhere. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was such nice weather so we sat outside. I would recommend that since the indoors is a bit more cramped. Aside from the brisket it was a solid meal.
