Everything was good except the pickles. They had no batter idk if it was an off night but definitely a huge miss on those!! That’s the main reason I came 🙁 but the desserts and sweet tea were delicious!!

I wish we had City Barbeque where I lived I would drive an hour for this food. The service was great the restaurant was clean and well maintained. The food was delicious. Like everything. Everything we ate was cooked well, seasoned well, and hot and fresh. This fast casual restaurant was well worth the money and is a do not miss!

I was visiting from Kansas City when I was told I HAD to try the bbq here. It smelled amazing from the second we opened the door and tasted even better! The staff was friendly and had great recommendations! Can’t wait to visit again so I can come back!

Made my first visit to the popular level location today. $85 for 2 chicken halls, one pound of brisket, sausage and turkey. It’s an hour round trip. Get home and open our bag…NO BRISKET…. the most expensive thing I ordered…. you k ow what they say about first impressions. They missed the mark on this one. Follow up on this review. City BBQ sent a gift card to cover the expenses, even though my pic didn’t show the order number. I upgrades my review to 4 star because of this

First time here and will be back! Stopped in to try this place out and was pretty happy with it. Service was great, the young lady taking my order was very upbeat and happy. I got my meal and it was very good! I recommend the Nashville hot chicken (I’m from Nashville). I also tried the brisket, it had no sauce on it on my first bite. It was good, a little dry, but good. The next few bites I tried with their different bbq sauces. The green beans are delicious! With great food and great staff you won’t be disappointed eating here.

Delicious pulled pork sandwich. Pretty good green beans. Sides need to be slightly bigger. Tasty sauces for the sandwich. Sadly the tea isn’t brewed. No biggie. I’ll definitely go back.

So excited for this location! We ordered the judge’s sampler a few extra sides and a Nashville hot chicken sandwich! Delicious!! The amount of food fed 3 adults and my husband had leftovers to take for work lunch! The young lady at the window was friendly and service for our large order was very quick! Looking for to trying more menu items

The best BBQ we have had! I got the pulled pork sandwich – it was juicy and the flavor was amazing. My husband got the brisket sandwich. He said that it was everything he was looking for, thick sliced brisket, juicy and the flavor was fantastic. Both sandwiches were generously filled with deliciousness!! We will definitely be going back.

The restaurant was clean and well lit. Staff members were efficient and courteous. The decor was cozy and interesting, with names and mileage to other barbecue restaurants in different cities and states. I would recommend this place highly. The two meat sampler plate and green beans with bacon, not to mention the coleslaw, was very good.
