    Beef Brisket Sandwich combo.
    Niccole A.

    We decided to place a carry out order for City Barbecue. I opted for the Brisket Sandwich with two sides and a drink. I chose Mac + Cheese and Greens for my sides, and a lemonade for the drink. Everything tasted good, warm, flavorful. The Mac + Cheese is never baked, and I honestly feel like if they threw it in the oven for about 2 minutes on broil to get that baked brown toppings, they would really have a winner on their hands with that Mac + Cheese. My family member opted for the 1/2 slab of ribs, and made it meal which included Texas Toast, Two Sides, and a Drink. We get all the way home only to find out they forgot the Texas Toast. This is the reason for the 3 stars, because forgetting the Texas toast was a big disappointment to us. Not only that, but trying to reach someone at their restaurant is impossible. I attempted to call the restaurant twice. The first time someone picked up and then hung up. The second call I placed, I held for 20 minutes waiting for someone to eventually take the call, but they never did. ‍I'm a bit disappointed because my family member really wanted that Texas toast and we paid for it.‍ I ended up sending a message through their app in hopes that someone will eventually bother to respond one day. Nevertheless, if you like barbecue and you're not too picky, City BBQ is always good enough, in my opinion, to hit the spot. UPDATE: City Barbecue got back to my email and not only apologized, but added a $5 credit for them forgetting our Texas Toast. WAY TO GO CITY BARBECUE!!!! For that reason, I can now give them 4 stars.

    The environment was fun and the music was good. But the food was delicious and they gave so much we couldn't even finish it.

    This place is awesome. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. Andrew took my order and was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped me select what I ordered. Andrew was very friendly and super nice. Would recommend coming here

    Potato salad, baked beans, corn bread, Texas toast, brisket, and ribs. So MUCH FOOD!!

    I ordered the two meat sampler and it came with two sides and a piece of Texas toast. I didn't know that it came with Texas toast and I ordered a piece of cornbread. It was way too much bread and the cornbread was just okay. The Texas toast however, was delicious. I got the potato salad and baked beans and unfortunately I didn't care for either. The potato salad was too creamy and lacking in flavor and the baked beans were just a tad too sweet. Next time I'll try something different. The meat made up for all the shortcomings. I got the brisket and the ribs- for a charge up. I preferred the original bbq sauce over the others. All in all I enjoyed this meal and will be giving this another shot.

    Family member had ribs and greens w/ bread.

    First time here w/my family. Good family atmosphere, looks very clean, very friendly service and Rep was very knowledgeable of their products. Food was a 4 Star. Overall experience was a 4 Star! They have a kid friendly menu too....Ty City BBQ Polaris- Columbus, Ohio

    Parking: I have been here several times and never had a problem finding a parking spot. They have ample parking. Staff: There was no wait when I arrived around 1:30pm on Thursday, I walked right to the front and was greeted by 3 employees who were very friendly and willing to help. I placed my order and was handed a cup for my drink. By the time I had filled my drink, a staff member let me know my food was ready and waiting for me to picked up. I was surprised by how fast the employees prepared my food. Food: The temperature of the food was just right, the taste of the food was excellent. I ordered the Pick 2 Meat Sampler with pulled pork, brisket, fries, and corn bread. Delicious meal. Ambiance: This place is perfect for casual Lunch/Dinner with friends or even a first date during lunch. Very casual lighting and ambiance. Well done. Well done. 5 stars.

    Chicken Leg & Thigh with Two Sides Pick Two Meats with Two Sides

    Tried City Barbeque when I was craving some comfort food. As far as the main food, the meats, the chicken leg & thigh and beef brisket were very tasty. I love that they have all the sauce choices from sweet to spicy to choose on your own. We loved the spicy bushfire sauce most. I ordered the chicken leg & thigh which came with texas toast and my husband ordered the two meats, choosing the beef brisket and chicken leg & thigh. We then got the 3 side sampler as our side dish to share. It was definitely enough for 2 people. We got the hush puppies, corn pudding, and mac & cheese. The corn pudding was by far my favorite, so good! The hush puppies were crunchy and warm, perfectly savory. The mac & cheese had to be the worst part of the meal. It did not have a good cheese flavor nor did I care for the sauce and pasta combination, it was also a bit cold. I would definitely not get the mac & cheese again. I'll definitely give this place another try when we are looking for barbeque.

    Both of our orders were made incorrectly and the staff was rather rude about it so we asked for a refund and left.

    This is some very yummy food. Small business big taste…read more You could almost miss it driving by. It's a little back from the street, a little closed down for winter. You walk in the door and it smells just like heaven if heaven was an amazing barbecue place. Keep walking forward and you can enjoy the historic walls and wood floors and when you get to the counter, they know all the stuff. You can try your stuff, but if you need some advice, they got some good ones. We got a sampler, drums, and a brisket sandwich. They have some delicious barbecue options from spicy to very velvet, smooth and sweet to the Kansas City mustard style. The people were friendly they were efficient. They got us exactly what we ordered, the service was great. The price wasn't too bad either Certainly willing to return here. This is some yummy stuff.

I visited with a friend for lunch, purchased the recommended selection, and we sat down to eat. and boy did we eat! But, despite my best efforts, I was not able to vanquish all the food that was on my plate. Wow. I placed all the leftovers in it to go box and it made two meals for later, I was quite surprised. The food here is delicious and I found it to be quite the bargain. Definitely coming back for more. There are lots of barbecue restaurants in Columbus, but Smoked On High truly stands out as exceptional.
