Being from Kansas City, I have a high standard for smoked meat. I enjoyed the food here, it was full of flavor, prepared quickly, and served hot. You order at the counter and then they deliver your food, it was fast and the workers were friendly. The restaurant is a typical quick order restaurant with some tributes to other bbq restaurants on the wall. It had a great vibe read more

The cashier was very nice. I cannot remember his name but just know he was the bomb. The food was so good. The banana pudding was excellent. I got this city sampler everything was fire the brisket the chicken sausage I got double brisket. I love it. My anniversary was May 8, 2021 every year I've been going there on our anniversary and I cannot wait to return this year. I love city barbecue run don't walk. read more

City Barbeque - Full Cut Brisket Sandwich, Mac n Chz, & Collard Greens - Caterers Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

City bbq is decent, enjoyed most of my food. Table areas were clean! Workers there were friendly. Not my first choice but not my last either! read more

Chicken is now served on paper instead of plate. Please bring back the plates! Hate cutting chicken on paper. Very bad move on your part. Will think twice before returning because of not serving on a plate. read more

Not terrible for a fast food option. It was just very bland, I expected more flavor from the meat choices I tried. The chicken was good, but there wasn't any smoked flavor at all. The sauces are basic so it didn't help. The hushpuppies were awful but the mac n cheese was good. Lemonade tastes cheap with no distinct lemon acidity which is why I say cheap. read more

Since they have opened they were a staple for my household but since they have started deciding when they are going to be closing which is really odd hours and now them being closed wayyyy longer than necessary for THANKSGIVING being it's a Monday dec 1st and they're still closed.. this is ridiculous it's unreliable and it has very much pissed me off. I'm done TRYINGGGG to get their food. Sincerely A very hangry pissed off bitch read more

Kudos to Lisa, Mya and Nate at the Miller Lane City Barbecue. For their excellent customer service in response to our catering emergency. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made for an outstanding experience. read more

Ordered delivery from City Barbeque Miller Lane. I've never been to a City BBQ, so this was a new-to-me restaurant. I got a few kids meals so that I could try several things. Made for left overs for a couple of days too. The chicken fingers were really good. I preferred the pulled chicken to the turkey. I got several sauces to try and liked them all but one. Not sure which one, because I didn't understand the abbreviations that they put on the cups. ‍ I was missing the drinks from two of the kids meals. I contacted the restaurant and they made it right! A few things got a little smashed in the bag the way that it was packed, but it was still tasty. read more

I don't think this is a bbq place, it's called that but the food is trash, the employees are disrespectful and hanging around in the back being loud, I don't recommend coming here. Maybe a better staff will fix the food and the place. I had an issue with my order, and a guy came at me like he wants to fight me for saying anything. Never again!! read more

Good ribs and brisket my wife liked the 1/4 chicken and turkey hushpuppies are good. Service was friendly and quick. Mac n cheese wasn't good it was bland should have got fries. read more

Ran across City BBQ after striking out on several Dayton area restaurants that were not accommodating dine-in services. Happy to see it open and also COVID friendly. Specially constructed plastic dividers were placed between each set of tables. There also was a high-top bar-type area, but no plastic dividers there. First impressions: nicely decorated and clean. I had beef brisket which was excellent, tender, nice crispy fat layer not too greasy but just right. Meats are all served dry, you choose your BBQ sauce and it is packed on the side. I picked "original". For sides I had creamy slaw and mac and cheese. Both sides fresh and home-made tasting. Mac and cheese sauce was smooth and good cheesiness. BF's sides were hush puppies which were nicely fried, again, not gross and greasy, and an excellent corn pudding. In the world of portion-distortion, portion sizes appeared small initially, but upon finishing my meal, I was perfectly satisfied, not grossly full, not starving for more. I wish I had room for dessert, will come back and try that next time. Overall, one of the best beef briskets I have ever had! I will certainly come back for more. read more

I had a very bad experience there with one of the workers I believe her name was Mackenzie she had a terrible attitude towards me and a couple other costumers, hopefully that changes but other then that, that food there is delicious i had the Nashville hot chicken absolutely amazing!! Definitely recommend read more

I had the brisket and my wife hat the pulled pork. It was delicious. We brought home a piece of chocolate cake and it hit the spot. Can't wait to return. read more

Hass to be the worst excuse for a barbecue spot ever the meat has absolutely no flavor. Customer service is horrible. The employees would much rather stand around and talk in the back to where your food comes out code $65 for absolute trash. read more

Food was nasty ribs was dry and tough and burnt I will never go back macaroni and cheese had no seasoning

This place is awesome and Sara took care of us like we were family. It's rare anymore that people care about customer service . She deserves a pat on the back. Great food Great service. Hit them up. You won't regret it. Thank You Sara!!!!!! read more

Stopped in on Tuesday for their rib special. Everything was delicious. Ribs could have spent some more time in the smoker to make them a little more tender, but flavor was great. read more

City Barbeque - Ribs, chicken tenders, bbq beans and mac n cheese. Delicious! - Caterers Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

City Barbecue is one of my Ohio favorites when I am in the state. They rarely disappoint (except the fact that they rarely if ever sell roasted wings anymore which were exceptionally good). The corn pudding is some of the best in the business, and the chicken and ribs are always tasty (albeit the ribs could have more meat on the bones. The pleasant surprise was the grilled bologna sandwich. I tried is as something different and it was quite good. I will definitely get it again. I might not want to see how bologna is made, but I definitely want this super thick slab topped with pickles and onions again! read more

Food was good but it was so crowded with the line out the door. A lot of other rude patrons from children running around and fighting to sneezing without covering their mouths. The cashier wasn't very nice or helpful. The soda fountain was out of a lot of different drinks and they also had not stocked straws or lids. On a Friday night I'll think twice about going back here. read more

Had Hubby walk in, order and pick up a carryout ( not drive thru). Got what appeared to be a family enough for 2-3 people 3 meat foil pan order of brisket, ribs and chicken with sides of Mac and cheese and potato salad. Also had corn bread and slice of Texas toast style bread for ea serving. Requested mild sweet bbq sauce on the side also included Rub on ribs just a little too spicy for me ( but bbq sauce helped). Ribs could have had more meat? Brisket very good! Chicken very good Potato salad very good Mac and cheese just add a little salt and very good Texas toast not really toasted much Corn bread I could somewhat taste the baking powder? Hubby said inside service was friendly, quick and accurate. read more

City barbecue is a great place to grab some flavorful food. I haven't tried their ribs yet (they run out quick!) but everything else is amazing. Pulled chicken, pulled pork, chicken thighs, divine. Skip the greens and the Mac n cheese, they're just okay. Corn bread pudding and potato salad is really tasty. read more

Food is horrible. Beef Brisket Sandwich was 90% fat. Mac and cheese is bland. Bread is good. read more

Great place for dinner, amazing staff great food recommend corn pudding and if you're not sure they are happy to help you pick your dinner

OK-The Food at City BBQ is always top notch. So, if you have never been there-go! It's excellent BBQ!!! This review is only on the staff at the Miller Rd. location, and I hope that the manager reads and shares this with them. We stopped yesterday, dined in. The girl that took our order was completely lackluster, bored, and talked so softly we had to ask her twice to please speak up (between the mask, plastic and room noise it was just impossible to hear her). We said thank you, she didn't say a word back. The young man that brought our food to the table simply sat it down and walked away. Again, completely lackluster, bored and no social skills at all. We like City BBQ. We would also like to be treated like our business matters to you! read more

The service was a joke. Wanted the Motherload, but they were supposedly out of turkey and wouldn't substitute. The lady got an attitude and said her manager wouldn't let them substitute. If you do not have all the food required either substitute or let people know before they order. The food really isn't that good anyway. Too expensive and staff attitude have destroyed what once was a great place. I average three to four days a week getting food there, but never again. read more

It was good BBQ, not great. The Mac and cheese was a little bland and the brisket sandwich I ordered was lukewarm. Maybe adding some sauce would have helped? read more

Best brisket in town. Ribs flavorful and tender. Highly recommend this place. Service is fairly quick also.

Stopped for carry out and was really impressed. Especially since they just opened and I expected they might still be learning, if they can continue to have the service and quality that we had on this trip they will do very well. Smoked chicken and also the pulled pork was awesome! My wife loved the pumpkin dessert. We will be back soon! read more

I had the chicken breast and ribs.The meat did not have much flavor. Looks good but was not that great. The cornbread was probably the best item I had read more

Get the pick 2 meats. The ribs and the brisket are fantastic especially with the hot BBQ sauce. Once again City Barbecue does not disappoint. We went to one in Lexington, KY and had our first experience there. Same great quality here, plus good service from the staff cleaning and taking away trays. So glad to be visiting a state that is open for business! Can't wait for our next trip to visit again! read more

Reminder to customers: ALWAYS check to make sure your order is correct. It's apparently too hard to hire workers that can actually read. I ordered the Lola pork sandwich and paid extra for the Texas toast instead of a regular bun. BUT STILL ONLY GOT THE REGULAR BUN. NO TEXAS TOAST ON THE SANDWICH OR THE SIDE. Was travelling so not worth turning around after getting 10 miles down the road. The customer shouldn't be burdened to double check but apparently that's the case these days. read more

Food is generally pretty good only thing is, is when you call and you get somebody that doesn't speak American very well and does not understand any of your questions so therefore trying to order by phone is impossible. So with that being said if I had never been there before I wouldn't even bother. Their brisket is very good. read more

the food has to be the worst tasting food I have ever got from a so called bbq place I wasted $70 if anyone says it's good eats has low vibration taste buds Mac and cheese was like eating baby food greens had lots of stems and tasted horrible brisket sandwich was nothing but fat only thing I ordered that was remotely pleasant to eat was the potato salad read more

We have gone to City BBQ on Henderson Rd, for many years. We also have bought gift cards very easily online for years for our family there. The food is fantastic, and even bought their sauce for gifts, BUT impossible to get a $100 gift card online after trying for 2 hours. We even called City BBQ Corporate, and she said we have to change out computer settings to change my address and credit card...no luck! Every time we tried it, added another $100 (now to $500!) and could not change it After many years as a loyal customer from N. Illinois we will not be purchasing anything this year and will not return! read more

Menu was higher than the website stated. Not worth the price. Won't go back. Terrible service.

Curbside service was appropriate. For a restaurant that exclaims smoked meat the half rack of ribs lacked a smoke cured taste. The peach cobbler obviously stuck to the bottom of the cooking sheet. Never mind the fact that it burned, it was served anyway. Nothing like partially burned peach cobbler. read more

Last 3 visits at the drive thru, an item missing each time, a significant item. Double chipotle last time, peach cobbler and cream before that, a frigging basket of hushpuppies before that! This never happened when "rastaman" was at the window (20s, cool attitude, itLian looking). Always perfect service, every order 100% correct. He is gone, that is gone. This never, ever happened in Columbus in 20 years of going to thier locations. WTH. read more

I'm picky about my barbecue. This place never fails to impress. We ordered online and waited 3 minutes when we got there. Good job everyone this family is pleasently plump. read more

Newly opened and I cannot say enough good things about this place. Located on Miller Lane, Dayton, Ohio, where the Steak and Shake previously stood (I miss them too) with plenty of well lit parking, friendly service, especially Jane who took my order, and some of the best tasting food I've ever had. I started with a beef brisket sandwich with regular bbq sauce (they have 3 or 4 sauces to choose from), which was out of this world tasty, loaded onto the perfectly chosen freshly toasted bun, which did not taste like a lot of bread. So tender, hot, and plentiful for $8.99. The cole slaw was mouth watering and fresh, as was the 3 cheese Mac and cheese. For desert I enjoyed the banana pudding which was excellent. Fast service inside, nicely packaged, and still warm when I arrived home. Nice to know that there is still a restaurant that obviously cares about their business and tries hard to meet the appreciative public standards. I'm sold on this place!! read more
