City Barbecue goes all out to make your experience. I caused a glitch with my order by phoning and asking for an earlier time. The manager was so kind, prioritized my order that was lost, and I received it so fast my party never even knew there had been any issues. Delicious food. Great variety. Wonderful people. I highly recommend this location and restaurant.

First time trying City Barbecue! My cashier Quintin was very helpful and let me taste whatever I wanted!! My server Nicole was amazing!! She was so friendly and knowledgeable!! Her smile made my day!!

Unfornately, my food was less satisfying. The brisket was hard and dry (despite asking for the full cut). Fries were hot, pork belly was tender, tasty and juicy and my salad was robust and refreshing. Maybe it was an off day for brisket?

They catered the meats for my daughter's graduation party and most of it was devoured. So many people went back for seconds and thirds. The sides were a huge hit too. I recommend getting more Mac n cheese than you think you'll need.
