All the staff here are super friendly! Zion at the counter MY GUY! I like going here more and more. I like all the sides and how they have daily specials read more

The food at this location in Greenville at Woodruff Rd. was great! It was actually what the food tasted like when they opened in Buford, Ga. The food was fresh and the brisket was cooked just right. The customer service was great. They have plenty of dining space. It was packed when we came, but we were able to grab seating (two tables) for nine people. read more

This is a nice, clean establishment.. But the flavor and temperature of their food could use some enhancements. I really enjoyed the hushpuppies and fresh cut fries. However, our mac and cheese and collard greens were cold (which is interesting because it took our food a while to come out)! I probably won't return any time soon, but I'm glad I finally decided to give it a try after riding by so many times. read more

It was raining, so I placed a curbside order online. I would have put drive thru pickup but I wasn't sure if they'd have a line. As it turned out, they weren't busy. I waited 15 mins in my car for my order before I walked in to check. Sure enough, my order was on the counter, getting cold. The receipt was clearly marked curbside, and when I questioned it I was told it had just been put there, but not so as the fries were already chewy. If you don't want to service curbside, don't offer it. Oh, and the Not a Sloppy Joe sandwich was nothing like it was when I ordered it previously when dining in. Just very disappointed with the whole experience. Beware. read more

Was passing through on the way to Florida and was craving BBQ. City BBQ was near our hotel so decided to check it out. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. I ordered Texas toast and that was missing from my order. No napkins or utensils. I ordered ranch on the side and I got another sauce. Both the corn pudding and okra were okay. I wish I had ordered collared greens. The one thing I was impressed was the brisket and pulled pork. That was delicious! read more

Half pound brisket came out barely warm. Ok flavor. Sauces were uninspired. Slaw was lackluster. Came here bc there's no parking at Lewis. Next time I'll just walk a couple of blocks. This place is a bit cheaper but drastic contrast in quality. read more

This place is expensive for what it is imo. If you have a coupon it really isn't that bad. Their sides are good and it's nice to have all the options. They also have a lot of options for bbq sauce. My favorite is the sausage and the brisket. read more

We order delivery from City BBQ often and are always pleased with portions & great flavors. Yesterday I made a mistake on my order & selected the "more bark" option on the brisket sandwich. I fully expected a couple of slices of brisket including the bark, but I received only pieces & strings of bark with not one slice of brisket :( Don't make the same mistake I did, as the brisket is sooo good and you will be so disappointed. read more

City Barbeque - Brisket sandwich w "more bark" - Barbeque Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

We stopped here for lunch and enjoyed a brisket sandwich on a toasted bun. Service was fast and friendly, and the brisket was tasty although it needed a dab of barbecue sauce. They were plenty of tables for both indoor and outdoor seating. This is fast food barbecue! read more

We didn't even get the chance to order. As soon as we walked in, a woman behind the counter came over and immediately started barking at my kids for climbing on the small rail in front of the counter. I fully understand that kids shouldn't be climbing, but there's a respectful way to handle situations like that. Her tone was harsh, rude, and completely unnecessary. First impressions matter, and this one was enough for us to turn around and walk right back out. If this is how customers (and children) are treated before even ordering, I can only imagine how the rest of the experience would have gone. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Great brisket. Solid service. Great looking place. Awesome fried okra. Serving size was fair and sufficient. Good iced tea and lemonade. read more

Paid $50 for cold, flavorless meat. The staff looked miserable and were not very nice, and all of the tables were dirty. Probably the worst BBQ place Ive ever had. read more

The restaurant is amazing and very clean, and the food is excellent. Customer service, however, is not so good. This was my first visit, and I waited 10 to 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged me; only one worker did until Brenda took my order. Brenda was fantastic. Brenda is an example of fine customer service. Brenda thank you for your amazing service. Brenda is amazing read more

Poorly managed! Entered and closed after we ordered at 3:00pm. Posted hours are 11-9 and watched potential customers drive up and leave. What a way to loss future business. Food is just average and the staff needs to learn to interact with customers. read more

I have had City BBQ 4-5 times since they arrived. It always is very tasty and I think price/value is outstanding. Standouts for me RIBS, Cole Slaw, Collards, but everything else is more than fine, including a great selection of sauces! They have an outstanding Store Manager. We had a carryout order that went slightly awry and he more than made up for the error. That went a long way with me. One tiny criticism, the traffic flow directions around the building are a little confusing, but hardly a problem considering the quality of the food. read more

This is our favorite bbq restaurant but there seems to be quality control and expediting issues for take out and delivery. We have been regular, long-term customers since their opening. The last 3 orders have been missing items, and on Valentine's Day, the food was about the worst, a $3.99 cornbread that should have been discarded instead of being sold, which looked as though it had been stepped on, reheated and overcooked and was flat, nothing like their normal cornbread, which is excellent. Each of the 3 banana puddings were different unto themselves, the individual banana pudding weighed 7 ounces, with 4.5 ounces being bananas with a slight coating of pudding, which was nothing but a bowl of bananas. The second quart weighed 10 ounces, and had been dumped from something else as the whip cream was on the bottom. The third banana pudding weighed 13 ounces and looked a hot mess with no topping or butter drizzle. The last I checked, a quart is 32 ounces, not 23 ounces. The banana puddings used to arrive packed to the lid, not half full and today were missing the stickers on the lids. The flavor was off and was too sweet. I feel they have the best pudding in town. Presentation was terrible, quality was fair. cornbread was inedible. The chocolate cake was smashed on the top corner and missing icing. We have been ordering from City BBQ since their opening, but we have become disheartened by the past few orders. read more

We have gone to the restaurant early evening to find that they are out of baked potatoes and turkey. This has happeNed to us several times. How can this continue to happen? read more

With all the bbq competition in this area this one is greatly lacking at least for my taste. Plenty of folks like it but the pork was tasteless and the brisket was too as well as fatty. Brisket chili was nothing special either. The collards were okay and the fried okra was good. Very attractive restaurant and great service but the food misses the mark for my taste buds. read more

Worst web site. I wanted to see the menu. What beers do they have? No. Not available. Rude

Repeat customer here. That alone should say something in a place like Greenville where you could eat at a different place for weeks on end. I had their burnt ends offering today and the strawberries and cream cobbler. Both were great tasting options. My wife had the turkey sandwich. She loves how thick the slices of turkey are. The sweet tea / unsweetened tea combo (self serve) always hits the spot. The Lo Co (yellow BBQ sauce) is the sauce of choice for my wife. I like the Original. The service was friendly as always and the ambiance was relaxed. Great music playing overhead is great. Would love to have some live music at this place but really no spot for that I guess. Conveniently located right off the highway too. read more

Very very good!! Clean, friendly (Bailey), good ambiance, but limited parking. It's very busy so come early. read more

Ok Folks went to City Barbeque for the First Time and wasn't impressed by the Food. Our choice was the Judge's Platter, and it was not in the Top Tier. First the Meats were cold and the sides (mac and cheese were like cement. Collards were all stems and Potatoe salad had no mustard. Now the Okra and Hushpuppies were very good. Not Banana Pudding either. Really thought it being Saturday around 7pm might be hot and tasty. I can only hope things improve and I think they will. Nobody likes to receive bad reviews, but I have to be Honest. I have visited the Cary NC location several times and have always been very Happy!!!Stop by and Judge for Yourself. read more

The atmosphere was inviting, clean and thoughtfully designed. Everything we ordered was so perfect. I got a smoked turkey sandwich with Mac and cheese and it was perfection. The hush puppies were the best I've ever had. Even their to go boxes are cute. We will be back for sure. read more

Went to city BBQ today. Got a two meat plate included one side. I got brisket and pulled pork with Mac and cheese and a Pepsi for 25.35 including tax. The brisket had a great smoke ring and smoke flavor ,the pork was ok not much a smoke flavor, and the Mac and cheese was very good and their Texas toast was awesome extremly fresh . Be aware they have limited parking but you can park over in the northern tools parking lot if you can't find a spot. Met one of the managers Mike and he was very cordial and explained a lot of the history. They have 5 different sauces brush fire (hot) Low country mustard sauce with some heat, original bbq sauce,sweet city, and swine wine vinagar based sauce. I'll be back for more brisket for sure!!!!!!! read more

We love their ribs & sides. Fall off the bone tender & so flavorful that we don't even like to add any of their tasty sauces!

the brisket in many previous visits has been good. the last 2 times it has been extremely dry. I always make a point to be there at 11-11:30 to get fresh brisket. Last 2 visits it's like it was reheated from previous day, also I always ask for fatty-it could not have been leaner!! I doubt I'll be back read more

I gave a 4, only because there is little bit of consistency missing. This place was a staple when they first opened, then they went through a tough patch...but my last visit there last week was back at 5 stars. All of the meats were cooked perfectly and happy they went back to the original fries. All the sides are on point. A few more visits like the one last week and the rating will be back at 5 stars. Keep it up. read more

Let me start by saying I went here when it first opened and the food was absolutely amazing. Visited yesterday and we were totally disappointed. Brisket was dry and tough,okra really had no okra it was mostly the skin crust off the okra, and the corn pudding was dry as ever. My feelings were hurt badly. I usually go to NC location where there has never been an issue with the food. Service was good the tea was absolutely great and the restaurant was really clean. read more

This is the second time that I have ordered a brisket sandwich and asked to hold the peppers and onions. And the sandwich came with NOTHING BUT BREAD AND BRISKET. I will add that its was not even 4oz of brisket. In the past it has had SO much that I had to take some off to fit it in my mouth! I am done. read more

Stopped in for a quick tasty bite at lunchtime with my daughter. We weren't starving but we craved some bbq The kids platters hit the spot and did not disappoint! The portion size was just enough, the price was right, the flavor was delish, and the service was on par We enjoyed our meal out on the patio. No complaints. Loved the selection of sauces and the self serve drink area. Great bbq pit stop read more

When this place first opened, it was great. Now quality control is just awful! Ordered a bbq sandwich, got home and it was a hunk of fat only not chipped up pork. This is too expensive to have to deal with this and then have to throw it away! Then they forget to put things in the bag. Will never go back. read more

Order taker was nice and professional. Gave good suggestions on menu items. Tested a bit of the brisket which had the smoke and the flavor I expected. I decided on pulled pork with a side of fried okra. The okra was the star of my meal. The pork was really fatty but had good taste. My dining partner had the ribs and said they were nice and tender with good flavor. He said he'd come back again. Food could have come out hotter. That could have Gaines them another star. I'll try it again just for the okra! read more

City Bbq catered a wedding at my venue this past Saturday and I can best describe the experience and food as perfection! The catering staff took care of hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour which was a beautiful charcuterie setup. They also took care of the dinner. Their service was 5+ star. The food was the perfect temperature and taste was outstanding! As a venue owner I was pleased to see how courteous they were. They left the catering area clean and even left a care package for the bride and groom. I look for to having City BBQ back to the venue! read more

Hi City Barbeque Management, If you are not going to bother to have a manager actually run your restaurant, don't open it. I am standing in the place right and there are at least 30 people waiting for their orders. Not a single manager is taking charge to show their first-time-in-the-workforce employees what to do and how to act with any urgency. Oh, and put your "pretend" wood inside before it rains. Otherwise we definitely know it's just for show. read more

First time here, Start with parking, very strange lot design. Hard to figure out where to turn, about have to go around the building and back. Came a little before 2 pm, about 10 people in the dining room and 1 person bussing tables. Wasn't sure how they had servers or not so decided I would just get to go. Person taking order while nice was very frantic- She was doing drive through window and front counter. Would really have wanted to find out more about the food and place- Could tell she really needed to get back to drive window. Ordered BBQ sandwich and Baked Beans Meat on sandwich was quite good, maybe to much bark for an individual sandwich- over all happy with quality for the price, Bun doesn't hold up very well to take home to eat. Nice if they were toasted in m a griddle. Baked Beans- now , these were horrible, all I taste is a lot of sugar . Like they add some bbq sauce to sugar water- The brisket inside was so over cooked and tasteless- They should after creating a new recipe for the bakes beans take the brisket scraps and fold in after beans are cooked- Looks like brisket scraps were cooked or reheated with whatever bean procedure they have. I will be back next week to try another sandwich and a different side. read more

Stopped here after work because I was craving bbq and this was a winning choice. The Lolo's sandwich was amazing (make sure you ask for the sauce you want). The corn pudding is a win. Very fresh and crispy hush puppies. The banana pudding was delicious. Their lemonade is tart and pairs perfectly. The drive thru around mid afternoon was super speedy. Friendly service. Looks very clean. Will definitely visit again. read more

Food is okay. Portion size does not match price. Very disappointed. Will not be back.

Food is decent but expensive. Go to one of the local BBQ places in town for better food at a better price. The cornbread was the most bland cornbread I'd ever tasted. Parking is also an issue. There's only an handful of spots available for a building that can hold more than parking allows for. The restaurant was very clean with staff working around the beverage area to keep things clean and organized. Local barbecue in the Carolina's just sets a high bar and City's greasy pulled pork just didn't measure up. read more
