Don't waste your time or your money. BBQ is far from quality, service and attitude of the people working there (excluding the gentleman that was clearing tables, he was very friendly and repeatedly checked on all the customers) was very unprofessional and subpar. Our ribs were tough, the brisket was dry and the pulled chicken was far too moist, it saturated the bun and causing it fall apart. If you want good BBQ go to Uncle Bo's in Elyria. Their BBQ is excellent and far above that at City BBQ. And their prices are much more in line. read more

City Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Avon, Ohio

The food and service is amazing! I absolutely love this place! I was double charged and the owner fixed it right away and was super friendly! They have this guy that walks around to the tables to ask if everything is okay and if you need anything, he even offers to remove any plates or trash you are finished with. He is SO nice! read more

I drove an extra 15 minutes to pick up barbecue tonight from City Barbeque from the drive through. The recorded message stated that they were closed even though it was over an hour before closing. I went inside to place an order and mentioned that the drive through stated that they were closed. All she said was that happens sometimes. As I was placing my order I noticed that a guy who was preparing food was eating a sandwich in the food prep area . He didn't was his hands after eating the sandwich. I mentioned this to the girl at the register with no response from her. I left without completing my order. This was my worst experience at a City Barbeque. Management seems to be lacking. The cleanliness and organization seems to be Lowe than other City Barbeques I have been to. read more

The food is great, but be prepared for awful service! Our order is missing items more often than it is correct. The wait time is also always much longer than quoted. If the food wasn't so great, we wouldn't be back. Pro-tip: If you get carry out-check your order for accuracy before you leave! read more

First off, I ordered the pull chicken sandwich and this is what I get. This chicken is burnt and comes in chunks and has no sauce on it whatsoever and still has a bone in it. Also, the service is terrible, it takes 15 minutes to get my food and it's not even close to what is advertised. The ambiance is ok that's about it. read more

City Barbeque - Hard rock pieces of chicken in my pulled chicken sandwich, it has no sauce like stated in the description of the food and is burnt. - Barbeque Near Me - Avon, Ohio

See all

Dropping my review to a 3. Our first visit when they opened was great. Went back a week or so later and huge drop off in everything. Food quality, service all very poor. They forgot all my sides and the meat was really fatty. I called and customer service sent me some rewards. Went back tonight and sadly same thing. Order was incorrect, food quality subpar. So sad because I had hopes the first mistake was a one time thing. read more

I am really surprised by they reviews being lower than I would have expected. I am a true Southern individual who loves barbecue. I can tell you. This is some of the best BBQ around. the staff is amazing. The place is very clean and the food was AWESOME. read more

Buyer beware. Service is incredibly poor. I ordered 1/2 slab of ribs and sampler platter with 2 sides. I received chicken and 4 sandwiches. How is this possible when we are the only ones in drive through. Check your order before heading out. read more

Food is great, staff super friendly and attentive. The ambiance is typical bbq restaurant. I would recommend. The homemade sweet tea and lemonade are great. read more

We went for dinner tonight. 6:00. Only two people I dining room. Once we perused the menu, we went to order It was going to be 15 minutes for sausage. I couldn't do the two meats I wanted for a sampler. I ended up doing 1/4 chicken white. Baked beans and hush puppies. Why I got baked was beyond me, as my wife had with her meal. She had brisket and pulled pork. Brisket was so lean, it was really dry. The pulled pork was ok, but not even close to being warm. The beans are way over sauced and really sweet. The chicken was ok. The skin wasn't as edible as I would have hoped. Overall, it was fairly expensive for what we actually ate. The crew, while nice seemed in disarray. To go orders seemed to have been an issue. Since there was not many people in the dining room, it was easy to notice. A young couple ordered shortly after us and it took at least 1/2 to get their food. The woman was not happy as the guy waited for a forgotten item. Recap. Menu item not available and it's one of the easier ones they have. Brisket dry and pulled pork cold equaled leftovers ( not sure why we took home) value quotient questionable. Lastly, no one was tidying up the place, especially the sauce station read more

The food was great but Tony really made it a great dining experience! So kind and helpful!

Niece ordered a pulled chicken sandwich and in her bite was some type of unknown chicken part which should have been cut away at the processing plant. Needless to say the one bite sandwich went in the garbage. Pulled pork sandwich was so-so but overall back to Chick-fil-A and good bye City BBQ.. read more

Being out of brisket and smoked pork at two in the afternoon is absolutely absurd. I understand it's a bbq joint and they sometimes run out but at two in the afternoon and they let me order a sampler plate before telling me this information. There's way better non chain options that I will take my business to instead. read more

Open for about 3 weeks when I visited. Ordered the Judges Sampler, which included brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs. The half-rack of ribs in our sampler were unacceptable and I had to take them back to the counter. They were dried out, with no meat. The manager did replace, but with brisket, as they were out of ribs. Smoke flavor across all meats was lacking. Maybe I'm spoiled because I do a lot of my owner bbq at home. Nonetheless, I was hoping for more smoke. Green bean side was very tasty. Mac and cheese was good. You get quite a bit of cornbread with this sampler. I do think pricing is a little on the high side and there may be more flavorful options in the area. read more

We have tried to get food from here twice. The first time we ordered in person. After waiting for half an hour, they tell us that they are out of ribs that we ordered. The rest of the food was good, but you don't get much. Second time:Ordered on the app and paid. Arrived to pick up and we're then told they were out of the three different meats that we ordered. And when we cancelled our order, they couldn't refund our money. We have to call somewhere else to get our money back. Too bad we won't be back. read more

My husband and I went to the drive thru at 7:50 today(May 28) we waited and waited, finally get up there and the girl said she would be right with us. We still waited for a period of time. At some point minutes later Someone gets on the speaker and says we are closed now. It would have been wonderful if we were told, the long line behind us who were there long before closing and also not to be told we will be right with you and sitting till 8:03 and then told we're closed. We thought we would try again after the first time having cold food and horrible service. There will not be a third. Get it together Let's Go Mission read more

I really wanted to like this place! It's new, they have a drive-thru, very convenient and fast service. That's all good. About the food. I wasn't impressed the first time and it was new so we tried again. But the barbecue just isn't good! The first time we had the meat sampler, it was average. The pulled pork is not pulled apart it's big chunks. The brisket was a bit dry, sausage is dry as well, and the ribs are tough but I like the smoke flavor. Just needs some more time smokin! The macaroni and cheese has no taste at all. None. We tried every side dish. They were all mediocre. Not a lot of flavor. The best thing about this place are the hush puppies. Tonight we also tried the banana pudding and it was good. All in all the ribs are so dry and tough You have to pull them off the bone and can hardly do so. Just disappointed because I really wanted to like this. read more

Was excited to see this place in Avon close to my shop. I was disappointed in my meal I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries and green beans. The pulled pork sandwich landed in the garbage after 1 bite it was full of fat and the meat was mushy. The fries where not cooked all the way thru and the cup was half full. The green beans where good and the only think I ate completely . I love bbq and this spot is way off I have eaten at the one in Strongsville and it is night and day read more

Very excited to have a new BBQ place in town; we've been longing for some smoked meats since moving out of Kansas City. The meats were phenomenal. We ordered the judges sampler so had a bit of most to try. Would definitely recommend the ribs, pulled pork and chicken. Sadly, I think there's too much bark on the brisket, not much meat to taste. We're very happy to see that the meats are not served with sauce, it's add your own. Frankly, I'd suggest stopping by McConnell meats accords the way and bringing some BBQ sauce in to add. City BBQ's sauce wasn't the best. Sadly, we had to take two stars away because of the sides. The beans and coleslaw were not it. Even the hush puppies were a bit of a let down. Perhaps the green beans and Mac and cheese were the way to go, but a good BBQ spot must have good beans. Not the case here. It was a busy night, service was responsive when asked. The self serve sauce station needed to be serviced, no soap in men's room, no sauce lids. Plenty of sweet tea and lemonade. Very friendly bussers. Table space was at high demand. Price was $45 for the judges sampler (feeds 2-3), side of hush puppies and two drinks. I think next time we'll just order the meats to go. If someone asked me where's a good spot to get some really good ribs, City BBQ is the recommendation. read more

Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. I loved every sauce. Great variety on the menu. Will definitely return to try some more items.

The food was all so good from the delicious green beans to brisket and pulled pork and the spicy sauce was soo good with a slow burn but really good flavor. And they donated to our men's Bible study which is so good to hear! read more

Awesome meal!!! Thank you for feeding theAvon Football team!!!!!!!! They loved it!!!!!!

I love that City BBQ was such a large part of our student luncheon. the food was amazing and a great opportunity and experience for our students to try new foods!! read more

I went there this past Friday for lunch. I got the pulled pork and potato salad. Both items weee excellent! I like that you get to choose which bbq sauce you want to put on your meat. The meat was tender and tasty. The potato salad reminded me of the kind my mom made. I also felt the staff was extremely attentive. Whoever is training the staff at this restaurant is excellent! read more

First time visiting. You order at the counter & they call out your name when the food is ready. The brisket , their best seller, is absolutely delicious! I also ordered the baked beans & Mac & cheese. Beans are way too sweet for my liking. Mac & cheese was very creamy & good. I enjoyed trying the different flavors of sauces which are self serve. Restaurant is very clean. They have indoor & outdoor seating. read more

Poor service, attitude of employees are horrible. We've had problems the last three times we went. Never again - they don't deserve your money. We actually like their food however they never get it right ... not even close. If you're thinking about delivery - it only gets worse. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else read more

If completely average barbecue is your thing then this is the place for you. The service is lacking as well since we ordered items online that were not available. read more

It was very busy tonight and we wanted to eat there but there were no tables. We ordered two sandwiches and fries to go. I got the Lolo and my daughter got the pulled pork. We both loved them. The ambiance is good but they need more tables there. They did not get a liquor license yet but eventually they'll offer beer. We had the sweet tea and lemonade. Very good too. The only improvement I can say on the food is that the fries get kind of smooshed together when you get them to go. Great food though! read more

Two days in a row at the most incredible barbecue experience of my life. I think i'm addicted. And on top of it the manager, Jordan stepped it up to a another level with her amazing customer service. You'd think she owned the place, as passionate as she was about taking care of my employees and I. We will always come back to City BBQ, Avon, Ohio. Thanks Jordan! read more

Ordered food for 6:15 pickup at 3pm. That's over 3 hours to prepare. Food wasnt ready on time and was wrong. Got no sauce, ordered extra bun and didnt. Will not be going back.​ read more

I tried this place for the first time. The pulled pork was amazing ! The baked beans were loaded with brisket. The corn bread was flavorful and fresh. The place had ample seating and there was plenty of parking. I will be a regular customer from now on. They also have a rib special on Tuesdays $1.79 per bone. They also had a nice selection of sauces. If you love barbecue you need to give this place a try. read more

We have been here three times. The food is great. Each visit was a different experience. It bugs me when employees are standing around yakking at in the pick up zone and tables need cleaning and sauces are low. But that's just the manager in me. I don't care for their BBQ sauces and wish they had one that is a little sweeter. In the end, it's worth the visit. read more

You may be thinking to yourself "Ooo there's that new BBQ place in Avon, maybe I'll try that today!" Let me save you the trouble. Do not try it today. Do not try it ever. Honestly the worst BBQ I have ever had, and I have had lots of BBQ in my day. If you enjoy brisket that's as dry as the Sahara desert then ignore this review because you'll love their brisket. If you like ribs that are not trimmed because you love chewing on cartilage and rib tips, this is the place for you. If you love french fries that flop more than Anderson Verajao, come on down to City BBQ. Trash. read more

Lets start with the OK. Tuesday is $1.79/bone rib night. They were tasty, skimpy on meat, there was one extra tossed in due to one being really skimpy. People in front of me commented they were running out of items but had all of mine. Brisket was very dry. Sounds weird but not cooked long enough, wrapped to keep moisture and all those good fats inside, prior to sitting out on cutting block? Sausage was not impressed. Tea marked unsweet was sweet. Nice variety of sauces to dip in. Banana pudding good. Part of this comes from someone who lived in TX for 6 years. One compliment given was by boyfriend telling me mine is better. Guess need to keep searching so I dont have to cook a whole brisket lol read more

food was great and the service was very good. servers went out of their way to ensure we had a great time

I'm really not pleased with city barbecue yet. They're new in my city Avon and I think they need some time to get it together. I tried to order takeout on Saturday night and couldn't get a pick up time because I guess they were too busy. So then I made an order Saturday evening for Sunday pick up at 1:15p curbside. We arrived at 1:05p and we sat in the car u til until 1:25p. No one came out to the car even after we notified them via the app that we were there. So my husband went in and our bags were on a rack, but no one was going to bring them to us. We get home and found out that the dessert we ordered wasn't in our bag. So I called customer service and after giving them all the information, they said that they will replace what we didn't get. I said great i will be there in about 15 minutes. Five minutes later we got a call from the restaurant and were told that the dessert wasn't in the bag because they didn't have the ingredients to make it. I said well OK but no one told us that when we picked it up and you charged me for it. So she says well you got charged for it because you paid online. OK, is that a bad thing? Then she told me that I can come in anytime and tell them that I didn't get it on this day and they'll give it to me later. I asked her should I ask for you? She said no you can't ask for me because I won't be here - I'll be opening up another location. But the manager will help you, or I could come in at a less busier time than the lunch hour that I ordered and they should have it then. So now I'm told I can't get the dessert that I ordered because I ordered my lunch at a busy time. This is a new business in our town. They're trying to get it together , but it's not together yet. Didn't live the food either. read more
