My boyfriend and I visit this location frequently, and the employees, food, and experience is always AMAZING! But, today was a little different. We stopped by around 12:40 and we were met with the nicest employee, Tim! Tim insisted on checking our bag of food to make sure everything was perfect before handing it over to us. He even gave us complimentary cookies! You can tell that he genuinely cares so much about his customers! Our sandwiches also tasted phenomenal, and the cornbread??? So yummy!!!! This location is THE BEST!

Had the naked brisket here with 2 sides. The brisket has great texture and flavor. I really enjoyed the barbecue sauce and friendly service.

Pulled pork was good but had a lot of fat within it compared to previous visit.

The food was genuinely spectacular, their are many City BBQs around Cincinnati but the one in Alexandria right off of 27 has the best BBQ I’ve tasted in the entire city of Cincinnati, the ribs were charred perfectly and the meat was tender and the brisket was perfectly cooked and also perfectly tender

Tried City Barbeque for the 1st time this evening & it was great. I walked in and ordered take out at 8:20 & had my food, hot and fresh walked out to my car within 10 minutes. I’ll be adding this to my favorites to visit, for sure.

I suppose City BBQ in Northern Kentucky at 4:00 p.m. is not a very exciting place to work. However, for those working there I’d recommend taking a moment to make eye contact with the only customer in your store, which is me, and maybe you could not overtly display your contempt for having to wait on me, maybe you could skip the part of slapping the food on the counter as you pack it in the bag, and maybe whoever the adolescent worker was who unleashed a hot, liquid belch as I walked out the door could choose more wisely when the next customer walks in. I know none of you care too much about this review, and City BBQ won’t care about my boycott of this place anymore than Anheuser-Busch cares about Kid Rock shooting up a few cans of Bud, but manager Zachary Meyer, your name’s on the door, so is there anything you care to do about losing a long-standing customer due to the young Neanderthals running the joint?

Food was very good. I would have given 5 stars but the table was still sticky from previous customers and I got the wrong side with the order. Other than that I will definitely recommend it fir the food.

Whoever pulled the pork didn’t pull out the fat. Brisket is awesome, sides are great. Not a fan of their version of banana pudding. Friendly staff.
