    Wings and fries
    Kelly T.

    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.

    Ordered the 2 meat and two sides meal. I paid for Texas toast and I didn't get it

    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!

    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.

    Brisket sandwich w "more bark"
    Crystal C.

    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.

    Comfortable seating

    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!

    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.

    Brisket chili combo

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

    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.

Right away, the service stands out. We were greeted and immediately offered a sample of brisket, which set the tone. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the ordering process has a really smooth, well thought out flow that keeps things moving without feeling rushed. We sat on the covered patio, which was clean, comfortable, and a great place to enjoy a meal. Now, the food. This is where it really shines. I'm a bit of a BBQ aficionado, so I'll be a little nitpicky, but none of this takes away from how great it was overall. The brisket was phenomenal. We tried both lean and fatty--both were excellent. If I had to critique anything, it leaned slightly salty, but the bark, smoke, and overall flavor were outstanding. The pulled pork was just as impressive. Tener, moist, and packed with flavor, with no wasted bits. The Texas sausage was incredibly flavorful, though slightly on the mealy side texturally. That said, the green chile cheddar sausage was an absolute standout. Loaded with flavor, chiles, and cheese. A must-order. The sides were the only area that didn't quite keep pace with the meats. The beans were a bit undercooked and lacking depth of flavor. The slaw was fresh and well-balanced, but not particularly memorable. The corn pudding was solid, but again, nothing that stood out. The sauces also deserve some recognition. All four were fantastic, each with its own unique profile. Honestly, I could've just sat there sampling them on their own. They paired perfectly with different meats and added another layer to the experience. Overall, this is an incredible BBQ spot. While it may not quite reach the level of some top tier Texas joints, it absolutely rivals them and stands out as one of the best you'll find outside of Texas.

I sampled a burnt end piece and fell in love lol The brisket was so juicy, tender and well seasoned. It had a nice crispy crust and just melts in your mouth. The pork ribs were also very good! The crust was so good. The meat didn't quite fall off the bone but was still delicious! The fries were also perfectly crispy, hot, and balanced out the bbq well. They have plenty of seating bunch of picnic tables outside and quite a few tables inside. They also have a bar inside. I wish I lived closer so I could come back more lol I'll definitely have to shop by again next time I'm in the area.

It was lunch time and I wanted to try a few different things to see what they were doing here. I got a brisket sandwich, which was ok (I did not discern any smoked flavor) but the portioning was underwhelming. The cheese did not add anything to the sandwich. I also ordered a hot link and I ended up adding several slices of the link to the underwhelming sandwich to give it some substance. And lastly, I ordered a mac & cheese eggroll - ok, but nothing special. This was a take out order and I got the hot BBQ sauce, which was pretty good. Overall, the BBQ here is just middling and I've had much better. Maybe some of the other menu options would change my mind, but doubtful I'll return. One other item of note - this business will add on a 2% hospitality tax, a 2.5% take out tax and a 2.99% credit card surcharge to your bill (if you pay by credit card). I don't know if these additional taxes are manditory state or local taxes, but I would presume so. When the anti-tax morons scream and cry about property taxes and income taxes, this is what you end up with. And everyone is adding credit card surcharges now, so no surprise there. There is of course an additional sales tax added on the order, which I presume is the standard state sales tax. For those of you who are mathematically challenged, there is also an handy Suggested Additional Tip chart at the bottom of your receipt, if you are so inclined. It's based on check price before discounts and taxes and will tell you so.

The answer is a resounding "yep" and my favorite is Bobby's BBQ. On a recent visit to Greenville my wife and I made a side trip here, SO worth the stop. This is truly great brisket! Seasoned, wood-smoked, moist and flavorful. So tender it can be cut with a fork. Meat candy goodness. Is it supposed to be so dark? Absolutely, the servings are NOT burnt. There's a wonderful bark on this brisket which comes from a generous seasoned rub, low heat and a lot of TLC. Is it supposed to be fatty? You bet. Brisket is a tough cut of meat and fat provides tenderness, moisture and flavor. This ain't fine dinin' but the service from the counter is always welcoming and helpful.
