My husband and I were in town for our Anniversary and my birthday and decided to give City Barbecue a try! I got the smoked and fried wings, banana pudding, and a side salad. My husband tried the Cowboy and said that it was great!The wings were amazing!!! The salad was super fresh and the banana pudding was almost as good as mine! Lol The ambiance was quiet and enjoyable and the sauce variety was great! Will definitely be back!

The team members clearly care to get every order correct. They were able to get a large order done during lunch time and everyone at the company I picked up the food for, loved it. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken and it was crispyyy. Will definitely be going more often. Thank you!

I live in Kansas City (and have lived there most of my life) and I'm a bit of a BBQ afficianado, so I know a thing or two about BBQ joints. As such, this place is not anywhere near my home. It's north of Chicago.
Considering the finite capacity of my stomach, I haven't been able to sample much from this place yet. But I have found the pork belly burnt ends to be delicious. Also, I had never heard of corn pudding before, so I was feeling adventurous...
