Had a great experience picking up the food we had catered for my husband’s surprise birthday party here this past weekend and I was even a little early! Tasted delicious as always and we had just a little bit leftover. Everyone kept commenting on how tasty everything was! Got the party pack - feeds 20-24 people. Pulled chicken, smoked sausage, jumbo salad with dressing and the mac n’ cheese. Thank you all for an awesome memory again! Highly recommend!

The experience has been terrible. The one and only time we have came into any City BBQ. The store is scheduled to close at 8pm and the staff attempted to close an hour early while patrons were dining and coming into place orders. They made no attempts to accommodate multiple patrons’ (not just mine) or express the closing or out of stock items in a professional or kind manner. After ordering (what we could), paying and waiting for our order - the young woman who took our order came up to us to tell us more of the items already paid for were no longer available. At that time we requested to get our money back and cancel the order and the reversal of the transaction took longer than ordering and waiting. Unfortunately- we will not be returning.

I recently moved back to Cbus and wanted to give City Barbeque a try since it’s been over 10 years since I’ve dine with the company. The restaurant has been fully remodeled and is beautiful inside. Music was playing and it was definitely busy. I ordered a half slab of ribs and two sides (Mac and green beans). The ribs were tender and fell off the bone. However, that sides were basic and really didn’t have a lot of flavor. I think brussels sprouts and baked beans would be a great addition to the old menu. I asked to have a sample of the brisket to try. I was told they could not give me a sample because they were “low”. The manager was a young black guy. Since then I’ve gone to the restaurant three times and the last time I decided to ask about the sample. The cashier said “of course we

I don’t leave many reviews, but I absolutely have to for this city barbecue. I walked in to take my lunch break and was instantly greeted with a smile. Francis and his team are amazing! Everyone was super kind, and food was phenomenal as always!
