I went to this location because I had a taste for ribs. I went in because the drive is too much trouble. I purchased a half slab and I knew they were not equal to the ribs from the Winton Rd location as soon as I looked at them. they were not smoked well. the meat was tough...not at all the fall off the bone smoky flavor I get at the other location. I had to literally tear the mat from the bone. I didn't eat them. I won't go back to that location again. read more

Service was OK, restaurant was clean... Pork belly burnt ends: so-so. Brisket: horrible, worst I've ever had Hushpuppies: over cooked and hard Bake Beans: excellent, very very good Wings: excellent.... Nice smoke flavor Way too much for what you get. read more

City Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

I went to city BBQ yesterday in Fairfield Ohio and it was so amazing. Everything was delicious. I love this place. The BBQ sandwiches are always delicious and the baked beans are so good .The gentleman that took our order also gave me an extra 5 dollars off my order when I downloaded the app thinking that is what it said but I read it wrong it was for online orders only. So a big shout out to city BBQ for that. Especially when it was my fault. The employees there are very nice and friendly. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for Bbq. I really loved that they had paper towels on the table and it had a really nice atmosphere. read more

City Barbeque - View of the inside ordering counter. - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

Confused at the negative/neutral reviews for City BBQ! I've only had positive experiences here! The crew at the pickup window is always so kind and sweet, orders have always been correct and the food is really good! I loooooove their smoked turkey. It's moist, tender and a little bit sweet?? It's fabulous. The brisket is good & juicy too but I like it with sauce. The turkey doesn't even need sauce. They have an option to get the brisket lean, I haven't done that yet though. The meats are a bit salty but I haven't had BBQ that isn't salty lol. I'm not a pulled pork/rib person so haven't had those, and haven't tried the chicken yet. Their sides are really good. They use cavatappi for the mac & cheese, and sometimes they'll give you the burnt top. The corn pudding is incredible. I like the green beans but they come with some kind of meat in them (pork?), they are very tasty though. Haven't tried the hush puppies yet. The fries are normal fries. I haven't tried a sandwich yet because I'd rather just make my own lol I have to highlight the peach cobbler - it's actually amazing and they use almond extract (?) in it and it's so good. It's addictive. I guarantee you that no one will turn down the food here if you take it to someone's house or a gathering. When I bring it for people they absolutely love it! They seem very capable of doing big catering orders here too, super convenient. Grateful for the convenience & tastiness of City BBQ!! read more

Not the best BBQ, but somewhat acceptable for a chain. I've been carrying around a gift card in my bag for about 4 years after receiving it as a gift. No City in AZ, so waiting to use it elsewhere. Remembered I had it and made a stop. My BIG mistake was looking at the board and seeing the nacho option: bad move. This is not the place for it. Chips - Ice cold from a bag Pork - Ice cold Cheese - Didn't see much of it, not sure if there was actual cheese on it or just some squirt of cheese sauce? Overall the nachos should be a hard pass and taken off the menu. Will come back again at some point when in town to finish off the remaining balance on the gift card. Next time will go the sandwich route. read more

The food and the chocolate cake is amazing And the service at fairfield ohio store on Dixie highway is Awesome.

I love this place!! Great food at a great price. Today I wasn't starved but boy did I get fed. The nachos were my choice and wow was there a lot of BBQ on my nachos. And they tasted great with just a little extra sauce. It was my lucky day because thanks to their app, I also got a free dessert: banana pudding of course. Delish!! Man am I full!! I can't wait for my next visit. read more

I went through the drive-thru. The person that waited on me was nice. They got my order out very quickly! I just ordered a sandwich, the Lolo. No sides. No drink. They supplied the sandwich, knife, fork, three barbecue sauces, and a napkin. When I got the sandwich in my vehicle I stopped and opened it up and added barbecue and found that the sandwich was barely lukewarm. The meat had good flavor and the barbecue sauce was good I just would have liked the meat to be hot. This was my second time stopping here and probably will not give it another shot I wasn't too crazy about it last time either. read more

This is a pretty decent fast food bbq joint. Their pulled pork was pretty dry but the brisket was good! The mac and cheese was a little bland but some salt helped. Coleslaw was good. All of the employees were super nice regardless of how busy it is in there. read more

City Barbeque - Pick Two Meats - Pulled Pork and Beef Brisket Mac & Cheese, coleslaw, Banana Pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

Drive thru BBQ....out the window quicker than a Wendy's...what could go wrong?-the brisket. Just poor dry quality for upwards of an expensive price. The ribs were just a hair shy of mediocre. Pulled away with 42.00 dollars of disappointment. Only positive was speed and just a hint of smoke. read more

I have to give a huge shoutout to Nicole (manager) and this store for taking care of their customers when a mistake happened. I had an event and a snafu with picking up the order ( I received partial order and had to drive back, though mistakes happen!) , but wow did Nicole take care of us when I called and brought it to her attention. She made sure my next event had all the fixings, was hot and delicious. The folks this fed work in healthcare and raved at how delicious and well prepared everything was! From the pulled meats, to the sides and their awesome cookies, everything was amazing. I truly thank her for her diligence and phenomenal customer service. I know myself and my area business will be back! read more

I've been eating CB for years! It's some of the best bbq I've ever had. My absolute favorite is the chipotle bbq sandwich - it's amazing! I used to drive to Blue Ash, but thank God for this location. The food is great, restaurant is kid-friendly, and prices are reasonable. Permanent staple in our household. read more

The staff was nice. But to get home and open the bag and see I was charged $8.99 for this "sandwich" is disgraceful. The employees should be embarrassed with themselves. The "Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich" was inedible. read more

City Barbeque - $8.99 for this "sandwich". This is disgraceful to charge someone $9.00 for this. - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

All of the City Barbeques are good, but this might be the best location. Large parking lot, quick service.

First things first.. THEY HAVE A DRIVE THROUGH!!! However, I opted to go inside and check it out as it was a fairly new building. And enjoy the smell! :) Helpful staff. Quick order and got my food fast. The iced tea is AMAZING so you must try! I got a sampler and some sides. The brisket was a little cooked for my liking but the rest was amazing! I've had the brisket fresh before and it was wayyy better! Don't be afraid to ask for more tender or fresh cuts. They'll hook you up! They were open during some tough weather so special thanks to the team!!! read more

We have been there before but always got the sampler. This time I got the pulled chicken sandwich and baked beans. Baked beans were so much barbecue sauce it's all I could taste and my sandwich had something so hot my mouth was burning. I threw up everything in my stomach within minutes of eating. Absolutely the worst experience I've had in a long time. If the menu had and indication that the item was spicy, I would never have ordered it. But I did not know. read more

I ordered for 40 people food, over $527.00. They delivered at the scheduled time. . 11:30, without the buns or bbq sauce. I called they said they bring it right away, 45 mins later nothing came; 1.5 hours later still nothing. So I called again and they offered me a 25 dollar gift card. Then they said they give us the bbq sauce and buns for free, which was insulting, if we could pick it up. We had important customers in this was really embarrassing. I tipped over a $120.00 I have a refrigerator full of food that no one ate without the sauce and buns. Their food is good, and they sent a chocolate cake as an apology, and the guy who took the order seemed like a nice guy. read more

I posted earlier about this place serving dry brisket, unfortunately I am Tapping Out on this location. As the saying goes "if you keep doing the same thing over and over expecting things to change and they don't, you're either insane or don't want to drive 20 minutes out of your way to get excellent brisket. I'm opting for the extra drive to City Barbecue in Liberty TWP to get the juicy tender brisket. What really stinks is I work within a mile of the Fairfield location. Let me know when you figure out the brisket!! read more

Service is always good but the food is not. At least at this location. I ordered 2 days in a row and they watered down my lemonade. I been before and got ribs. They were a little tough but just ok. I got the pull pork sandwich last week and it was good but my lemonade was weak. Barely a yellow tint to it. The next day I ordered wings, salad and lemonade. I believe they are just being cheap at this location . When I walked in I seen a bag and a cup that looked like water. I told them I ordered online and he said that was mine. I said I ordered online lemonade. He said we changed our lemonade it's much sour now. I could literally see through the cup. I then turned around to the condiment station and the lemonade looked like lemonade! So I poured whatever he gave me out and got another drink. I just visited another location and asked did they recently changed their lemonade she said no. If I pay for something I expect to get what I paid for. The wings wasn't good either. So I have decided that I will not visit that location anymore. No matter which location I visit the service is always good though read more

Absolutely the worst BBQ I've ever tasted.,I ate there long ago and forgot how bad their food tasted, went back and got some ribs. They were dry and fatty. They gave me no sauces. Got home to dry fatty ribs. Just the worst. read more

Very solid bbq. The brisket is delectable. It was soft, tender and had been smoked very well. There is plenty of space to dine in. There is also a drive thru. The service was quick. Oh and don't forget to order the peach cobbler. It is a sugar rush for sure, but delicious. read more

My Nashville chicken sandwich was raw. When asked by an employee of everything was good. I asked her if it's supposed to look like this and she said it fully cooked. To be fair she offered me a replacement sandwich but I declined. Overall not a good experience. read more

Not sure if this location will last long if they don't tighten things up. Live near this location, but would rather go to West Chester. The food prep is so so and the service is spotty. read more

Food was cold. Didn't taste like is was cooked correctly. Would not recommend this place to anyone

Took mom and dad out today to treat them to some barbecue. Nicely priced clean and delicious. Everything taste fresh and you can watch them cut your meat right there in front of ya. Seasoned just right not to excessive in my opinion. Price wise for good barbecue is of average cost. Sorry for not getting any pictures crew it was a fast meal due to family dynamics today. Which is a nice way of saying you can run in get great food great service and be in and out quick. read more

Ordered carryout and was shocked at how little food they give you. $70+ on 2 samplers and it wouldn't be enough for toddlers. I suggest eating in, I've never had that problem while dining in. read more

Was really excited to try this restaurant after hearing great things but I didn't have the best experience. The cashier was very nice but all the other staff seemed to just chilling talking to each other, on their phones, and eating. The food itself was okay. They were out of ribs hours before close and I ended getting raw chicken on my sandwich. As for the desserts they are very tasty but since that's not what they specialize in I have to give them a low overall rating. read more

City Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

My 4th time hear at the Fairfield location, each time has been less of a good experience. This time I stood for a long time at the cash register to place my order while 7-8 employees seemed to make eye contact with me but nobody came over. It's not like I'm hard to see as I'm about the size of a Sasquatch and they weren't busy, nobody else waiting to order, only 3 tables occupied and one car in the drive thru. It was 12:15 on a weekday so it was a lack of good management as I'm pretty sure one of the ones that ignored me first was the manager. This was the first time the service was subpar but the food quality is sliding each time a bit more too which isn't good. Cold Mac-n-cheese from the kitchen to my table? Lukewarm baked beans and even cooler meat? That's not Texas style! I've only been to one other City BBQ on Miller Lane in Dayton and never had these issues there. On the upside this location was at least clean though one of violations listed on Yelp was improper food storage, that's a big one for me. I'll check the reviews and their violations before giving them another try. It's a newer location so I'm sure it's experiencing new employees learning curve issues but they should have that addressed by the end of February or it's probably going to slowly go downhill. C'mon man! read more

The J & J's at the West Chester, Ohio location rock! The Family Meal is a great choice for on-the-go dinners. Thank you!

It has been 19 days since I first left my review below where LeeAnn D rubber stamped a reply to my complaints. Still no further contact from this establishment which really goes to show you that they don't give a crap about their customers. I gave them a copy of my receipt which they asked for because they said they couldn't find my transaction. What a farce and what a joke of a business this is! Stay away from this so called overpriced restaurant! Lousy food and even worst customer care. It really upsets me that a restaurant can put a reply on here responding to a complaint from an Employee who just reply's with the same statement to every other customer complaint giving the impression to others that they really do care and are doing something about it! What a terrible way to run a business!! read more

8/26/2023 Service was good. Disappointed with the barbeque ribs were VERY tough, didn't finish them, brisket was dry and VERY tough, the flavor was great but I'm looking for a meat I can bite into and enjoy. The sausage was tough and didn't have that snap to it. The only thing salvagable was the GREAT pull pork, like butter in your mouth and the turkey, the potato salad, beans, coleslaw and cornbread was EXCELLENT. Would I go there again? No because I really had a taste for ribs and brisket my husband enjoyed his pulled pork. We were visiting from another state. read more

Excellent food! The ribs are delicious and tender. I also love the pulled pork and brisket. The drive thru is really convenient. I definitely recommend City Barbecue! read more

Over the years my husband and I have been fans of City Barbeque and have visited many time and different locations. I had been to the Dixie Hwy location and didn't have a good experience but he wanted to go and go we did. We had to stop the cashier from talking to a co-worker in order to ask a question. When the food came it was barley warm almost cold. We had ordered a city sampler, he said the brisket was cold and went to inform the staff they brought out more brisket but I said to the young man the entire meal is cold. He had the manager to come over. She said she would replace everything, somehow my water got tipped over in the process of giving her the unwanted meal. The big heavy man that brought out the replacement meal which looked like scraps looked at me and said "is someone cleaning that up for you" very sarcastically. The spill had been there at least 10-15 minutes, finally the manager came and cleaned the spill with paper towels. We packed up the meal which we knew we were going to throw away. The big heavy guy again sarcastically in a condescending tone said bye as we were leaving. We're done!! DR read more
