This is the best quality bbq in town! It's cheap, tastey, the portions are large, and it's your choice if you smother it in their sauce. We also really enjoy their email coupons...

Not the best 8/8/2010

I am a huge fan of BBQ, have tried several different BBQ joints in many different states and areas, from chains to hometown joints. Frankly, City BBQ isn't that great. Pulled pork sandwich was a good size portion for the money, but it wasn't tender. Too done. The sides were so-so, definitely not worth the price. I tried the sweet sauce, and it wasn't great. I've had a way better signature sauce at other places. I hate to critique sauces on websites like these, and the other sauces may be great, maybe I tried the wrong one....but the sweet sauce is too much like a store-bought want to be.... more

Love the new Westerville Store 6/30/2009

Local is great; pricing is good to high......sides really add cost and are single portion size. Enjoyed the peach cobbler too although it's more bread & less peaches....alittle different than the southern style I was raised on. Pros: Incredible BBQ Sandwiches Cons: Ribs were very crispy & a little too much fat for me more

Best BBQ in town 9/2/2007

This is the best quality bbq in town! It's cheap, tastey, the portions are large, and it's your choice if you smother it in their sauce. We also really enjoy their email coupons- they send them out for birthdays and anniversaries. Pros: rustic, focus on bbq, real smoked meat, cost, several locations Cons: none! more

Excellent BBQ 8/26/2006

This place is great! I love the atmosphere, food, value. All of it! My wife and I ate here when it opened, missed it when we moved away, and are excited to be back and living close to this great place! She always goes for the Briskit, which is quite tender. I'm a pulled pork man myself, and it is so moist and delicious. The sides are great too, try the greens! (pork in them, yum!) My sister lives in Texas and I went there to visit her recently. She took me to a BBQ place there, and let me tell you, I can't wait to get her up here to try City BBQ and put the place down there to shame! Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere more

One of my favorites! 2/7/2006

My g/f and I visited this place pretty often for a while. She introduced me to corn pudding and I was instantly hooked! The pulled pork and chicken are both excellent! And what better than a good 'ol southern style sweet tea to wash it all down! Highly recommended! more

Best BBQ in Town! 10/11/2005

Oh..my God! After one bite of their pulled chicken sandwich you will become a regular. I had takeout and I was waited on immediately and order was up quick. Also, the sweet potatoes are to die for. Pros: Excellent food, fast service more

Not so good 3/4/2004

I dunno, maybe it is because I was reared in Texas where BBQ is close to a religion, but, there was nothing here that resembled good BBQ. The meat was more roasted than smoked, the sauce was only so-so and the sides tasted like bad cafeteria food. The so called Texas Sheet cake was anything but. It was not so terrible that I would not stop in for a sandwich if I were in area, but not good enough to drive even a block for. Cons: , sides, desserts more

Do not be mislead - Bad BBQ! 2/18/2004

The City BBQ is not great and cannot compare to real BBQ joints in places like Kansas City, Memphis and down east in Kinston, NC. Their chicken is dry, their brisket tough and forget about their Carolina style pulled pork - they've never been to NC. Pros: Relatively cheap, Casual Cons: , Greasy, Not very clean more

Kids love it! 10/27/2002

After treating our kids to City Barbeque they now ask for it on a regular basis! They especially like the smoked sausage sandwich with the baked beans and mac and cheese. Corn bread is another favorite of theirs. Whether we are dining in, or I pick up dinner on the way home from work, City Barbeque is definitely a hit. I recommend it to all my friends. more

It Really is That Good 8/21/2002

After reading all the reviews before trying this place I was looking forward to it. I was not disappointed. The pulled pork sandwich practically melts in your mouth and the sauce is just about perfect. I was really not a fan of the french fries though, they were kind of soggy. I would recommend getting the macaroni or potato salad instead. Overall though, this was a great meal that I can't wait to have again. more

Beans and more 7/12/2002

We used their sides for a partee! The baked beans were terrific! By the gallon, they are a real bargain; in smaller quantities, a lttile pricey. Slaw was OK. more

The Best! 6/28/2002

City BBQ is the best in town, if not one of the nation. The food and prices are great and the service is good as well. I would defintely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good BBQ more
