City Barbeque

Flavourful, moist smoked meats. Friendly service. Good value. 4.5/5. I'd go again. Yes, it's chain bbq. With that context and commensurate expectations, I quite enjoyed most of the food. It's not cheap, but I think the quality is worth the cost. The gentleman at the counter recommend the City Sampler for trying a few different meats, and I quite enjoyed it. Overall, I was most impressed by how all of the smoked meats were full of flavour while remaining sufficiently moist. Pulled pork, 4/5; good flavour, but not the best I've had. Pulled chicken, 5.5/5; this may be the best I've had. Flavourful and incredibly moist. Yum. Beef brisket, 4/5; solid flavour, but not as much marbling as I prefer. Smoked turkey, 5/5; plenty of delicious smoked flavour yet still moist. Collars greens, 2/5. Wayyy too much salt for my taste. Green beans, 4/5. Chocolate fudge cake, 4/5. The icing is Rich and fudgy. The cake is just a tad dry for me, but still enjoyable. Recommendation: moisten the cake up some, perhaps by doing a brief microwave. Also, I added pecans to mine and that was a delicious pairing.

I recently had an experience with City Barbecue, and unfortunately, it left me disappointed. This was the second time that my order was missing an important item—the hush puppies. While I understand that mistakes can happen, it's disheartening when the same issue occurs repeatedly. The food quality at City Barbecue is generally good, and I appreciate the flavors and variety they offer. However, the consistent oversight of forgetting items in the order is a significant drawback. It undermines the overall experience and leaves a customer feeling unsatisfied. Customer service plays a vital role in any restaurant experience, and it is where City Barbecue fell short in my case. Dealing with the missing hush puppies was inconvenient and required additional effort on my part to rectify the situation. As a customer, I expect a certain level of attention to detail and reliability when it comes to fulfilling orders. While City Barbecue has its merits, such as the delicious barbecue offerings, it is crucial for them to address the recurring issue of missing items promptly. Taking steps to improve order accuracy and providing solutions to customers who have experienced such problems would significantly enhance the overall dining experience. I hope that City Barbecue takes this feedback constructively and works towards ensuring a consistent and reliable service for its customers. Attention to detail and prompt resolution of issues are vital aspects that can truly elevate the dining experience and build customer loyalty.

Went last week while visiting my youngest child last week from Texas. You already know how Texans feel about their barbecue and let me tell you this place did not disappoint. We got the 4 meat platter with baked beans with pulled pork(soooo good!), potato salad (taste like my mom’s) and mac n cheese.The meat was so tender and smoked just right. But what I was most impressed with was by far the customer service. The lady at the front was so warm and welcoming. This will always be my first stop when we come to visit.
