This location has a hands down A+ for excellent customer service. Ordered carry out with a friend only to find out after we had gotten home already that the barbecue part was missing. Huge shout to Ashley who was so kind to not only offer a refund on our carry out order that was messed up but also to throw in two additional sides, and dessert after we decided to drive back to pick up the missing part of our order. Thanks to their generosity we went from hangry to more than satisfied and pleased. Give em' try, if not for the food then for the service. read more

Well I've been there many times for good food but just went tonight at 8:30 and they were out of pork, brisket, etc. So we left and took our business elsewhere. read more

Had the sandwiches with regular barbecue sauce. Came with cole slaw and beans. Did pickup for my dad's birthday. Pretty good.

Best restaurant ever!!! You can't get this much quality food for the price anywhere. We come once a week for friendly family-friendly service, casual atmosphere, and a home style meal. We are rewards members, too, so we reap additional savings from the frequent visits. read more

Thier beef brisket used to be outstanding, but it just is not consistent anymore. Especially when you ask for it lean. We always get it to go. Great smoky flavor and is very tender. However, we always ask for it lean. Sometimes after driving across town we discover a significant portion of the pound purchased is fatty and I would not give it to our dog. I will miss going there, but it is worth it to drive up to Tipp City and get it at Hickory River Smokehouse. While it does not have that smoky flavor as much, it is consistently lean and about $5.00 per pound less. Also, Dorothy Lane Market (a premium supermarket) has good brisket and roast beef and if you want it lean, that is the way you get it. In conclusion, if you like a lot of fat with your brisket, City Barbeque is great, otherwise, you might want to pass. read more

I love City BBQ. I get a pulled pork sandwich. And I usually cut it up and use almost every sauce. I like the vinegar Cole slaw and fries. My husband gets the sample platter. I don't get meat at a lot of places so when I come and don't get fatty pieces I'm in heaven. read more

We've eaten here a few times and never been too impressed. Every meat tastes the same having an overwhelming smoky flavor. They don't offer gumbo unless it's "in season" which is a real disappointment. The corn bread is what my kids like from here. The macaroni and cheese tastes like Stouffers so it's good! The collard greens are good as well as the corn pudding. Overall it's average. read more

Probably the best BBQ you'll find in the area. I'm from the south and I KNOW good BBQ. I've never had such a consistently satisfying experience with every visit. You know you're getting good BBQ when it comes wrapped in greasy brown paper. Their beef brisket is juicy and melts in your mouth. The smoked sausage has a great snap and a fragrant smoky flavor. The pulled pork is expertly cooked. And their sides are nothing to scoff at, either. It's hard to find good hush puppies just about anywhere. But the ones at CB are to die for. And the peach cobbler is hot and sweet and delicious. But the real takeaway is the sauces. Whether it's the sweet, the hot, or the traditional, you can't possibly go wrong. I even get it delivered via DoorDash and it still manages to get to me tasty and delicious. I can't possibly recommend CB enough. read more

OMG WHY IS THIS PLACE SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!!!! I could eat here every day. I also recommend getting the banana pudding in the quart size because the pint size just isn't enough This is the most amazing BBQ place on earth. The prices are great and the people who work there are so awesome! Thirty thumbs up for City Bbq! read more

Rating BBQ joints is all about geography. Depending on where you find yourself in the United States determines what kind of review one might write. So, if you're talking about a BBQ restaurant in KC, you're going to be critiquing that place against a very competitive backdrop. That being said, Ohio isn't exactly a BBQ Mecca. Save some decent BBQ in Cincinnati, you'll mostly have to settle for very average offerings. That's not to say City Barbeque isn't finger-licking worthy. With what is available in the Dayton-Columbus market, it's certainly worth your time. City Barbeque has your typical barbecue offerings - nice slow cooked meats such as beef brisket or pulled pork served either "naked" or on a bun. The sauces are decent with a good selection including their traditional, a spicy offering, and a nice mustard-based. The real experience beyond the meat is the sides of which City Barbeque has a good number of traditional offerings including amazing fries. All that said, this place isn't going to blow your mind with life-changing BBQ. It's fairly predictable in that respect. The biggest downside is the price - for just the meat you're paying $6-8 not includes sides. If you just looking to scratch your BBQ itch, City Barbeque will definitely deliver. But, if you want soul-bending meats and sauces, you'd best take a road trip to other more famous locales. read more

Great BBQ at a reasonable price. Service is usually pretty quick and portion sizes are large. The pulled chicken, pulled pork, and chicken breast sandwiches are always great. The brisket is also good. They have a nice selection of sauces: sweet bbq, mustard bbq, a spicy bbq, and a few others. I've tried them all and love them. They have a great selection of sides, as well. The bbq baked beans are good, but sometimes the beans tend to be 'hard.' The green beans, mac n' cheese fries, and corn bread are all very good. They have good sweet tea (the real southern stuff...) and also offer a variety of bottled soft drinks. The salads are decent, but lets be honest, that's probably not why you're visiting. :) read more

Got the judges sampler. This used to be $29.99 and fed 4-6 people. Not it is $34.99 and feeds 2-3 people. This is the only reason it is a 4 and not a 5. Food was delicious still read more

City Barbeque. I believe this started in Columbus. Whenever I think BBQ I think City Barbeque. The choice in BBQ sauces are thee bomb, as well as being able to use as much of it as possible because they have them available on each table. Pulled pork, Beef Brisket, Pulled pork, Beef Brisket. Its hard to choose so I just alternate each time I go. make yourself an arnold palmer and enjoy. compare it to anywhere else and this is the place to go and be. read more

Wow. Finding good barbeque in Dayton is like finding a good cheesesteak outside of Philly. Color me happy. Ribs: Memphis style, meat is tender, pulls right off the bone, not too fatty, not too lean. Pulled pork: supposedly Carolina style. I've never been there, so I'll take their word for it. Brisket: Texas style, and they nailed it. meat is moist, tender, and tasty. Sausage: Pork, not beef, which is the way it should be. Pork sausage holds in the moisture, while beef lets it all drain out and ends up mealy. Plus, after the smoker, they throw the sausage on the grill to give the casing a little char. Turkey breast: I'm not a big fan of smoked turkey, but it was moist, at the very least. Sides: the greens were tasty and not bitter, the pickles are fresh and not too dill/sour/garlicky. Other sides? Please, I can only eat so much. Maybe after tomorrow's dinner I'll update this. read more

I've been here several times and am very impressed overall. The smoked turkey and chicken are excellent, and the pulled pork and brisket are very good. They also have some decent choices for sides and I think that the potato salad, corn bread, and green beans are the ones that I consider the strongest. Most of the help is friendly and helpful. I certainly recommend for lunch, dinner, or to go. read more

Great food and service and thanks to the cashier, Kyle for making Craig's birthday special!

Yumm Yummmm.. I am in town for the weekend and told my friend I want to try some of the better BBQ around here, find it.. We ended up here for dinner last night. The food is reasonably priced with a pulled pork sandwich running about $6. The atomosphere is typical BBQ, but clean and friendly with some tv's to keep up on ESPN. Their pork was VERY good.. it comes sauceless which I'm a fan of as I like to sample different sauces. It was cooked very well, with a good chunk of bark and just a little 'pink' left. It was succulent and flavored very well with hickory smoke and other joyous flavors. Their BBQ sauces are well thought out and prepared as they compliment the BBQ. I didn't care for their sweet sauce, but I rarely do. Their Dalton Gang and Brush Fire was excellent.. Almost took some home, but remembered I have enough stuff in my fridge. Their sauces had excellent flavor with a vinegar base, great flavor. My only complaint and reason they didn't get a 5 star review was our fried dill pickle chips... The wife and I love these, but no place can seem to match how they do them back home in Indy. These were battered well, but undercooked and subsequently super greasy. Cook them a bit longer so they are crispy and let them dry out just a touch under the lamp before serving them.. then they'd be 10 x better! read more

I can't remember who sent me here, but years ago City Barbeque was recommended to me by a friend. I was hooked from the first visit. I love the chicken. I love the mac and cheese. I love the beans. I especially love the sweet tea. I buy a gallon to take home on every visit. The décor is fun. The wall signs are funny. I like how they offer paper towel rolls at each table and the use of a tool box at the condiment station is cute. Staff are friendly and service is timely. City Barbeque is one of my favorite places to dine in the Dayton area. read more

This is one of my favorite bar-b-que places and is 1,000 times better than Eli's which I recently tried. I'm from TX and used to the best bar-b-que. I would say City Barbeque ranks as one to the top places even compared to Rudy's in TX. Their smoked chicken is delicious and always consistent, with flavorful Smokey taste and always juices -never dry. They also have great sides. read more

The ribs were good and moist, as was the turkey breast. They have really good mac n cheese. Everything is good.

This is by far my favorite BBQ place in Ohio. They have great food and great service. My favorite is probably their pulled pork sandwich. They have terrific hush puppies and mac n' cheese. The sweet tea offers the perfect amount of sweetness. Go in knowing that this is a little more expensive then some of the other fast casual restaurants but well worth the price for the amount of food you reserve. read more

Our all time favorite BBQ restaurant! The beef brisket is amazing ~ full of flavor. We always get it without the bun and it's amazing!! The quality is consistent, which is a huge plus. We moved from the area several years ago, but fly back home to eat at all our fav places ~ City Barbeque is always on the list :) read more

I would give it three thumbs up if God had given me more than two!! Coleslaw is the best bet...and definitely More Cow Bell!!

Best Barbeque! Their pulled pork and turkey are both so good. Sides are amazing as well. Friendly service every time I've been in!

Small portions and very overpriced.it's not Montgomery inn .great side dishes and good food you just don't get much for your money

The quality is consistent with all the other City Barbeque locations I've been to: excellent. I tried the smoked sausage today and I discovered two things: 1. The sausage is delicious. 2. The sausage comes with a side of vinegar slaw... which is perfect because then I don't need to order the slaw and I get to eat a sausage as a side to my pulled pork sandwich. I need to hit the gym after typing that out. read more

I've had some BBQ in Dallas and I am kind of ashamed to admit, but I like this place better. I used to frequent City BBQ when I spent time in Columbus (so yes, there are several locations), so I was happy to see one near me in the Dayton area. My favorite item has to be the brisket, so moist and tender. It really falls apart in your mouth. I also like the pulled pork and smoked turkey, which they managed to keep from drying out. The ribs are a safe bet too, fall off the bone tender. Sides are pretty standard, mac and cheese, greens, baked beans, etc. Nothing to go out of your way for, but still pretty good. read more

My wife went for takeout with a friend to City Barbecue and brought back a sampler platter, which had brisket, pulled pork, sausage and turkey, as well as side dishes of corn pudding and green beans (two of my favorites). The brisket and pulled pork were excellent, as usual, and the sausage was very good. Then I tried the turkey breast, thinking it would be the usual dry tasteless cardboard I normally get - but no... it was as juicy and tasty as I've ever had! Great job, City Barbecue! read more

Ordered a party pack for a birthday. They did a fantastic job. The order was correct and exactly on time. Thanks, City BBQ Centerville, for making our party a success! read more

This BBQ place was well reported in Yelp! and the reviews were accurate. Fresh, tasty and detailed food here. You'll order first as you come in the door - then take your food to the dining area. Excellent portion sizes. The fries are crispy with skin on, and the single order is enough for two people. I had the pulled pork on Texas Toast with fries and a bowl of gumbo on rice. The gumbo was more like casserole, but thick with pulled pork, sausage, celery, peppers and ocra (not really alot of rice actually). The Texas Toast was perfect to hold the sandwich together. There are sauces in squeeze bottles on the table - but take advantage of the heated sauces over by the drink machines. Better for dipping and pouring over your meats. I found a mix of the regular sauce and the Brush Fire sauce was just right. There is an awesome ice cream place right next door to settle your dinner. Just sayin' read more

Super good Especially the CORN PUDDING omg you have to try it super nice workers also

Simply amazing! Great flavor. Friendly staff. Fast service even when busy (seem to be very popular and they know it) line of about 10 people was gone in about 5 minutes! Don't worry! The food is anything but rushed! read more

This is UNBELIEVABLE but Steve, the manager, was kind enough to send to me, in the MAIL!!!, a delicious piece of their FAMOUS chocolate cake. I now live in San Diego, CA but frequented City Barbecue regularly when I lived in Kettering. I was about to lose my points that I accumulated. When I spoke to Steve, he had no problem mailing me a piece of cake. I couldn't believe it. He's the GREATEST as is all the staff. I have NEVER had a bad experience there. And this was over the top! Best food, service, atmosphere and CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! I am praying that they open a place in San Diego some day! THANK YOU STEVE!!! FYI: I ate that cake in one day! Umm. read more

This is my "Go To" BBQ joint! Need a fix?? Boom... City BBQ will not let you down.The full cut brisket is amazing!! Melts in your mouth!! They have added more sauces, which i haven't had a chance to try them all as of yet. But the ones I have had... they're awesome. Brush Fire is my fave! UPDATE... they have Peach Habernero bbq sauce... AMAZING!! A must try! read more

The food here is awesome. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Generally crowded because of its popularity. I would highly suggest you stop by and grab some BBQ. Be back soon. read more
