This location is just as impressive as all the others I've been to. Very friendly and fast service and good food! On busy evenings, you might find a line beginning to wrap around past the door. But it usually moves fast. In this case, you might prefer calling ahead and getting your order to-go. We love coming here with friends and the kiddos because the patio is perfect! The kids can be wrestlers and not use inside voices and we don't worry about disturbing anyone. Yay! Be sure to visit on a Tuesday because that rib day - you can buy per bone and it's so cheap! I recommend the brisket. Request fatty and moist because it's so much better than lean! Two ways to save 1. Download their app and earn points for every dollar you spend. Plus receive occasional coupons. 2. Military discount! They're great friends to us at Wright Patt. And we love them for it! read more

Today was our first experience with City BBQ, and although there was a small hiccup with our order, I would call the experience a great success and we will be back again. We ordered online for us and some out of town guests, each of us getting something a little different. Everyone really enjoyed their choices and ate well (with a few leftovers for later). The hiccup was that one item did not get in our take away bag, and I had to run back to the store to get it. They made it right without hesitation. This is the sort of customer service (with a smile) that will bring us back every time. Great looking store, nice people, great service, and great food. Go check it out. I don't think that there is any way that you won't walk out happy. read more

When I come home to Ohio there are certain places I have to go before I leave. Us Midwest girls love us some meat and City BBQ always satisfies my craving for grilled goodness. On my most recent visit home I had to come and get me some good old City BBQ before I headed back to the south. From ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork and turkey, whatever your carnivorous palette desires, City BBQ has. I was craving a little bit of everything so I went with the pick two and got the ribs and pulled pork. My ribs were juicy, mesquite flavored and fall off the bone delicious. The pulled pork was moist and succulent. My favorite sauce is the City Sweet, which I happily drenched all over my meat. The sides are the perfect compliment to the smoked entrees. I went with the green beans and collard greens. Both had chunks of grilled meat throughout and were perfectly seasoned. I normally get the potato salad and baked beans, which are just as yummy. Be sure to download the City BBQ app before you go. You will save $5 off your meal just for downloading the app and get discounts and deals for future purchases. So grab your cell phone and head to City BBQ to suffice your longing for some good BBQ! read more

City BBQ is a local staple. They have a great selection of your normal bbq's. It isn't my favorite but just because i'm not a fan of their sauces and for me the sauce makes the BBQ. The meat is just okay. The pulled pork is very watery. Overall this location is very clean and I love the decor. I also love that they have a children's table to color at with coloring books, big brown paper and coloring books! They do do a 10% military discount so don't forget to ask! They also cater and you can call ahead orders which is super nice! Give them a try they may just be your favorite local BBQ joint! read more

My granddaughter was married a year ago and City Barbeque did the food for the reception. They did a phenomenal job and the food was delicious. All the employees that worked were extremely nice and professional. The food was hot and excellent. I would recommend them highly. read more

I have never had a bad meal here. Although some of the dishes have a lot of fat, the savory taste fills my mouth and ignores the squishy Texture of the shaved fat. Incredible food and I'll ALWAYS be coming back. read more

I stopped at the City BBQ in Cincinnati. It was very good. I had the brisket and it was cooked to perfection. They sell their bbq sauce so I bought some. There fries are good too! read more

I love this place but last night's takeout was not up to par. I got a pulled pork sandwich that was dry and had very little meat on it. My husband got the brisket sandwich and it was the same. Our sides were smaller in size as well. A single banana pudding was $8 and the container was half full. We get the price increase but are not sure what's going on with the quality and quantity. It was a disappointment for sure. read more

Although the bbq is the best we have tasted since living in SC, sometimes the employees can make you wish you had chosen pizza. Knowing we were going to grill out last evening, I stopped by city bbq in Centerville oh to pick up two bottles of their sauce. The inside order line had approximately 14 people in line and the take-out register had ZERO. I asked Sean if I could make my purchase at the take out register and he advised I would need to go to the inside order register. I looked at the line and when I looked at him again, he shrugged his shoulders like he was in 2nd grade. I went to the other line, and guess who was the person at THAT register when it was my turn to pay? Sean. He started with his lame excuse when I told him I could have called in from outside and he would have had to check me out at the take out register. SMH read more

Cannot say enough good things about City... Burnt ends are my favorite. Mobile orders are always ready to go and the staff is helpful.

Always friendly service, good food, decent prices and have points on the app to save money.

Fantastic food. The corn bread is actually some of the best I've had outside of the state of Texas. Homemade barbecue sauce was delicious. Not a very big menu but what they do offer is good. Brisket was a little dry but after saucing it up it was good as well read more

Not really sure who/why/how this place has four stars...the only option I had was five. I tried to give 5,000. Didn't work. The worst thing about this place is how when you leave and go to sleep you don't wake up here. I'm generally a health conscience person. A salad here, a meatless meal there, a smoothie breakfast , amongst other boring things that helps one stay healthy, lean, and live longer but makes your tongue say WTF.... So when I eat BBQ I'm picky. Last time I had it I was in Texas went to a legendary smokehouse where people grow a decade waiting in line for it Bc its that good. They have the line here. Less the wait. All the flavor. Just. Come. Eat. Here. read more

City Barbeque - Brisket w bread and half rack of ribs. God bless this place. - Barbeque Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

Overall the definition of a family friendly establishment! Best City Barbeque in Ohio by far!

We've tried a few places in this area but hands down, city bbq is the best in the area. He parking lot is super tiny, they're always crazy packed. It's definitely best to order ahead and pick up your order. Even in a pinch you can wait out their line as its very fast moving. Their staff is incredibly friendly. We've tried just about everything on the menu and it's fantastic. Really delicious!! read more

We ordered food for our company Christmas party from City Barbeque. The ordering process was easy and the receipt was emailed promptly after payment. All good so far.. The food was supposed to be delivered at 3pm and did not arrive until 3:30. The driver said that she could not find our building. Nice thing was that she set everything up for us - including paper tablecloth to protect the surface of the tables. We had cornbread, green beans, BBQ chicken and pulled pork. Chocolate cake for desert. The food was really good but: Didn't agree with me and my tummy started hurting shortly after I ate.. bummer... I don't think I personally will eat at this restaurant again- not because the service was poor or food was nasty, bad but simply because I got sick after I ate. read more

I have had bbq all over the country in my travels. Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Carolina and Texas brisket. As far as chain bbq restaurants this is right near the top. I always judge by the brisket. Theirs is very tender, good bark and great flavor. The ribs are excellent as well. What sets this place apart is the sauce. They have 5-6 different sauces. Mostly tomato based. My favorite is the spicy brushfire sauce. If I'm out eating lunch I always consider eating here. Highly recommend. read more

Very accommodating and quick with friendly service. Tony was great and so helpful for our very large order.

BBQ North of Texas? . Yep.. and absolutely as good if not better. Pefect burnt ends, huge sides of greens and corn pudding. Had to top it off with chocolate cake. All in all a filling meal that I enjoyed every bite of. Will be back whenever I am in area.. read more

City Barbeque - Brisket, green and corn pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

I've never had a bad meal here. If you order the same thing each time you go, it will taste the same. The staff is friendly too! -I wish the mac and cheese were not so bland, but that's just me. I still like it. -The banana pudding dessert is so worth getting by the way! read more

This place used to be easy to order from. Now you have to talk to someone in another country instead of the store. Their call center options are confusing and terrible. I'll NEVER order from City Barbeque anywhere again. read more

Fantastic pork barbecue! The Mac & cheese, baked beans and hush puppies were delicious!

Definitely a go-to restaurant for good service, fair prices, clean establishment, somewhere you can come-as-you-are, and quite decent bbq. I've had the sampler platter of a pulled pork sandwich with sides of vinegar cole slaw and corn pudding, then added cornbread on top of that (yeah, I realized after I ordered that this was a heck of a lot of bread. Ha!). I also have had the ribs. Again, I ordered too much bread by ordering cornbread not realizing the ribs came with Texas Toast. Drat! I ate both. Both offerings I thought were good. I tried their city sweet bbq sauce, which is my preference. Growing up in Louisville, KY, it's the kind of bbq I expect -- I want my sauce to be sweet and sticky. Having travelled, I realize not everyplace thinks of bbq in the same way. Shame! The staff is polite and efficient, offering samples of their sides to help you choose. And they're often seen cleaning up around the place, a nice touch. read more

I still love the City BBQ! Over my past few years in the DAY, we've had multiple family holiday meals catered by City. They never disappoint. The smoked turkey is always delicious and perfectly prepared, never dry. My sister says, "I don't know why anyone would ever cook their own turkey. This is so much easier, and tastes so much better!" The sides are killer. My favorite is the corn pudding. I think they must put crack in it because it is so addicting! The green beans go over great too. This year I had 2 Thanksgivings and 2 City turkeys. There was plenty of food, but not much for leftovers because everyone loved the bird so much. Pick-up for holiday meals is super streamlined for fast and efficient service. As my beau said, "They've got this system down pat!" I've ordered smaller meals for days when I know people need fed, but I don't have the time to deal with food prep. (ex. moving day!). I've never heard a complaint from anyone after we've catered. City BBQ is always a huge success with my family and friends. If you haven't given it a try, please do for your next family event! read more

Sooo very good! We've tried the pork and brisket - both are absolutely mouth watering! Employees are friendly! We definitely have become regulars. read more

They have the best corn bread I have ever had. The BBQ is also so amazing. Always good food.

Feel like their good use to be amazing! Lately it's ehhh, okay. I truly love BBQ! But I crave true BBQ with the amazing sides to go with!

It was good. The sauce wasn't labeled in the takeout so wasn't sure which was which. We tried both pulled porks only difference I think is one comes with coleslaw read more

Excellent Food, Excellent Service! We had the Ribs, Brisket, Green Beans and Potato Salad. Yum Yum Yum ! read more

Food was absolutely delicious and customer service was even better! Came in for the first time and I had some questions about the brisket and instead of just telling me it was good I was given a sample to try it myself (it was amazing) As I was ordering my sides the gentlemen who was off to the side preparing the food could tell I was indecisive and when I got my food he added samples of all their sides so I could try them all myself. It made the experience just so much better. Real southern hospitality! As for the food I'm not that great at providing details all I can say isThe brisket, ribs and sauces are very well made and smoked perfectly! I've enjoyed this place more than any other place I've been in Dayton. I just want say thank you to all the staff for being so kind, patient and generous read more

So I placed my phone over the phone the accommodated my needs and allergies. Staff kind and the food is amazing. I love it all- especially the fried pickles. This location is my favorite. A+ times a million. read more

Definitely consider them for catering!!!!! They did a phenomenal job with set up, tear down, and communication prior to and during the event. Food tasted as good at the event as it does in stores. The lemonade stand was awesome-they will do custom mason jars that you can engrave what you want on them and then they have raspberries for the lemonade. Everything was hot/cold as it should have been and neat/clean. Impressed with the orofessionalism of the staff. Well done! Recommend smoked turkey breast! Favorite sides are baked beans and potato salad. read more

I ordered a large DoorDash order this past weekend. 1lb pulled pork and 4 large sides. Mac and cheese, corn pudding, potato salad and green beans. The sides were excellent. But the pork was very very dry. We ended up not eating the pork. I've had them at catered events before and the pork was edible and tasty. This time it was disappointing. read more
