Mac and cheese
Mike V.

Stopped by city BBQ to pick up a pound of pulled pork. It has become a bit of a tradition over the last 5 years to make Brunswick stew on New Years Eve, and City BBQ has become our go to spot to get the pulled pork from. Staff is always friendly, and quick to get orders out. They are open 7 days a week, sell meat by pound and have fair pricing. On top of that, their food, and sides are always delicious. Stopping in on New Year's Eve day, it was a very quiet, so they were quick to help me and quick to get my order out. The cashier was friendly, and when ringing me up, noticed I still had birthday reward on my account, and asked if I wanted to add it. I came in for a pound of pulled pork , and left with the pork and a bonus apple cobbler! As far as BBQ, although it's a chain, City BBQ is probably my favorite BBQ spot in the area. I'm not big on Lexington style BBQ, so discovering City BBQ was a great find. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good BBQ

Pretty good grub. The Mac n cheese was great and gooey. I ordered the bama pulled chicken sandwich. Ample amount of chicken, the type of bama sauce threw me off a little. I've had Alabama White Sauce multiple times before. Sandwich was still good though. Only thing, a better check of the pulled meat. I had a 2-3 inch bone in my sandwich when I was chewing my food. My son said the brisket was pretty good and the slices were thick.

The 3 meat trio gave me a choice of several good meats to choose from. Everything is good so I finally chose the turkey, brisket and chicken. They all had Awesome flavor. I selected the green beans with meat and the delicious corn bread as my sides. It was all just Good! I was served with a smile. They let you taste items too. I was so impressed and happy.

City Sampler
Bill V.

The BBQ was on point. We had it all. The smoked wings and the brisket were our favorites, but honestly it was all very good. The service was excellent! The restaurant was clean and seating was comfortable. Highly recommend City BBQ.

Judge's Sampler

I love this place. The barbecue is excellent. All the choices of different sauces. Makes it easy to fit. Individual taste french fries for good mac & cheese was delicious. I in fact I don't think I've had any side dishes there. I did not like. The brisket was to die for and I really liked the chicken.

Brisket Chili.
John R.

We stopped by for a couple bowls of Brisket Chili. Very tasty! We received top notch customer service from Rian. This was our first visit to this location and we're very satisfied. Clean restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We'll be back!

Sliced turkey, corn pudding, Cup of Brisket Chili and collard greens.
Gina D.

I was excited to try the brisket chili! Well, flavor is great! BUT, I had 1 piece of brisket in the whole bowl!!! It was a bowl! NOT a cup! Geez! Also, not many beans either. It was more like a soup that didn't come with crackers or cornbread. My husband purchased a "side" cornbread for $3+ which is crazy expensive in my opinion. I was very disappointed. I guess I have high standards that "chili" is going to be thick and hearty. For the price I would go for a sandwich next time where I know it will have enough protein on it. Thankfully my husband shared a slice of his turkey with me and it was very good. Service was quick and courteous. Space is adequate to sit down and dine. I like the outdoor space when the weather is nice. Overall I will return but skip the "chili."

Interior

Having spent a good amount of time in the Lone Star state of Texas, I've been exposed to some amazing BBQ Texas-style. City BBQ kinda reminds me of some BBQ places I'd eat at in Fort Worth or down towards Waco. Good smoke and good meats. I'm not going to downvote them for it being hot inside, hey Texas gets hot, you just deal with it. You come to a place like this for pork burnt ends, for BBQ chicken, for smoked turkey breasts. And City BBQ delivers. Bring your hand fan if it's summer and you are heat sensitive :) I highly recommend it! YMMV

Today was my first in-store experience! I had previously tried their food via catering when I had another job located right around the corner from this one. I really liked the interior of the store and thought it was quite impressive; they had numerous interesting decorations that made the space unique. Today, I got the Texas-style hot dog, which was more of a smoked sausage with slaw. I liked it; I wasn't particularly hungry today due to the extreme heat, and this was nice and reasonably light. The slaw gave the dog a nice crunch and freshness. The sausage had an excellent smoked and pork flavor, and it was done, as the casing had a nice crunch when I bit into it. I also got the fried okra, which was a bit disappointing, as it wasn't super crispy, even though it looked like it should be. Other than that, everything was fine. I didn't really try the sauce, because I didn't get a menu item that needed sauce. I will be coming back and trying something else next time!

Chicken nachos and strawberry cobbler
Dub H.

Not the greatest City BBQ franchise out there. They do have smokers with wood onsite, some of their locations get their BBQ from centralized kitchens or other restaurants so that means they actually have a real pitmaster on site. The BBQ is just average as far as BBQ goes...I like to think of this place as the fast food of BBQ...kind of like a Panera, just a bit more upscale than other fast food restaurants but not as good as a locally owned unique restaurant. Their chicken nachos were pathetic....it was mostly chips and sauce, very little toppings almost no meat. They did not hit the spot. The strawberry cobbler was huge and a lot of food and decent, but it was more of some type of moist cake versus a real cobbler. I like the fact that the restaurant uses reusable plates and dishes but the cobbler comes in a thick one-time-use plastic container which is a shame. Service was a bit slow for a restaurant that was at maybe 25% capacity.

2 Meat Sampler with Texas Toast.
Linda A.

After a long day of travel we just wanted to grab something quick and get back to the hotel. BBQ seemed like a good choice. Well, at City BBQ good quickly turned into great. You walk in and order, then get your drink and find a seat until your food is ready. The interior was cute and clean. The cashier who took our order was very friendly and helpful. We decided to split a 2 meat, 2 sides and garlic bread sampler. The portions were large and the garlic toast was huge. The $15.99 price was very reasonable especially considering it was enough for 2. The brisket was good, but the pork was fabulous and SO moist. Some of the best I've ever had. The green beans and corn pudding were excellent. I'd definitely eat here again.

Side of fries
Krisdena R.

I ordered a family meal (4-6 ppl) for carryout on Valentine's Day. Sliced brisket, pulled pork, mac n cheese, and brisket beans. I added a qt of banana pudding. I picked up my ordered to notice individual serving sized banana puddings, not a qt. When I arrived home, it turns out the banana puddings have caramel as an ingredient. No where on the website nor my order did it indicate caramel. My family didn't mind, however, if you are going to substitute an item, it should have been brought to my attention at time of pickup (write on receipt or bag as a reminder). The mac n cheese was unusually salty, not sure if the cheese or a heavy hand with the salt shaker is to blame. Everything else was as expected.

Unfortunately when I arrived at 5:30 both were already sold out. I went with sliced brisket, collard greens and Gouda Mac & Cheese. Everything was excellent!

All of the BBQ sauces were excellent as well. The atmosphere was awesome, loved the old vintage hometown feel. Can't wait for my next visit, I will arrive earlier to try and get the daily specials!

Overall a great stop for anyone wanting to try Barbecue in the Triad area.

Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.

Between excellent service, from the host to the kitchen staff, and being a bright, cheery place decorated in a modern farmhouse feel (only complaint is the HARD seating), we love this place. The food is always delicious and seasoned perfectly with FLAVOR. For the appetizer, the Salad Pizza is absolutely scrumptious and was recommended by our server our first visit here last year. Honestly, it keeps bringing us back. The flavors are incredible. It has feta, mozzarella, topped with organic greens, shaved onions, tossed in a lemon/dijon dressing with shaved parmesan. It's a flavor bomb in the mouth. The meatloaf, is to die for. If you're a meatloaf eater this is for you. It's so tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Melts in your mouth and the sauce on top is the perfect blend of sweet and savory to top it off. For my two sides this time I chose the fried brussels sprouts and the greens. The greens are always seasoned perfectly and the brussels sprouts were crispy and full of flavor. They tasted even better dipped in my meatloaf sauce so that was a win-win. My boyfriend had the special which was short ribs. For his two sides, he had greens and green beans. The short rib was perfectly tender and absolutely delicious full of flavor and moist for him. The green beans and the greens were also perfect as well full of flavor, just enough fat and butter. It's a great little date spot or a family dinner. They also have outdoor seating covered with umbrellas. There's a bar inside with a TV if you choose to go watch sports and the food here is always on point full of flavor and makes you want to come back and try more things on the menu.
