First time being there and I thought it was pretty tasty. They have a rewards policy. So if you spend 10 hours it’s 10 points. So every dollar amount is a point so that’s good and the food was good. They have a section that has five or so different sauces. You could put in a little cup for yourself for your food to try out

Wanted something different for a change! Different place. Different food. Different taste. So came here for 1st time and so glad we did. A totally different taste and experience from the same old same old places. Great food. Staff friendly. Santi the manager was great! Introduced himself. Other staff very nice. Clean too. Really enjoyed the difference. A new place for us to come back again next week and thereafter. Highly recommended!

Abysmal. Ordered catering for our wedding. Caterer was 20 minutes late. They got the meat right, that’s it. Wrong amount of sides were brought, the bbq sauce was just served out of plastic cups even though we paid for serving pumps. The tray of cobbler we ordered was given to us 1/3 full because they had served the rest to local customers and had just brought what was left to our wedding. Pathetic. BTW in order to make up for that they brought banana pudding without asking when most of my side of the wedding has an allergy to bananas. And they brought a cheap chocolate cake. To a wedding. We paid upwards of 300 for our own cake that day so they cake they brought was insulting. They didn’t bring the drinks we ordered. The food was lukewarm by the time they set it up. Can you imagine thinking its a good idea to set up a 1/3 full tray of cobbler (they also forgot the whipped cream) at a WEDDING. I would be disappointed if they messed up this much for a normal birthday party but this was a wedding and they screwed the pooch. 1000 dollars down the drain. My wife cried at the wedding cause of the horrible service.

So I had visited many BBQ restaurants, only reviewed a few from Tennessee, Kentucky and other. There is a good amount in Ohio and by my Greater Cleveland area. I had some friends dined in along with my wife and said you should visit this place you will like it. So I love food and BBQ so I visited the place. The outside decor is nice and so is the inside, first impression I loved it. Menu is simple and I went straight for the full rack of ribs. Sauce was original, sweet or spicy, I had the sweet and was very good. The other order was pulled chicken and pork and it was also good, I didn’t try the brisket and it’s one of my favorites but I will come back for that a later time. My side was potato salad and hush puppies, good. My wife got the baked beans and side of fries which I didn’t try but sure it’s good. Ribs was very tender and soft and I had plenty of it for later. Portions given is great for the value and I recommend you visiting.

First time here and what a great place! I went in literally at 10 minutes until closing, never would I normally do that but our BBQ dinner was ruined and had to go last minute. The staff was amazing! They went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of …gave me samples since this was my first experience. Everything was already cleaned up getting ready to close and they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and were happy, not upset, that they had to do it. I havent been anywhere lately where the staff was as sweet as they were and were truly accommodating! Highly recommend them.

My husband and I had brought our two boys there for lunch one day well over a year ago, maybe 2. We had a less than good experience, but my place of work had your catering a month or so back and the food was amazing! So we decided to give you another chance. This time was a completely different experience. Since we were basically new customers again and didn’t know what to order we asked for advice. Robert the manager came out to talk to us! Talk about awesome experience. He was so knowledgeable and helpful and everything he recommended we ordered and it was stellar. You won us back! Thank you so much City BBQ and Robert, you definitely redeemed yourselves! It’s so rare to get good service anymore, and you knocked it out of the park for this family!

Went on 5/20/23 around 6 pm and ordered takeout. Rob was there was he helped immensely with my menu indecision. I decided on some brisket and it didn’t disappoint. The serving was generous and the meat was tender and flavorful. Rob was friendly and passionate about his job. I’ll definitely return – this was a good experience.
