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
Alan P.

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.

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. You can't go wrong at southern roots.

However, if you want an enjoyable experience, you should look elsewhere. I think our main concern is poor communication - starting with not including my fiancée on all the emails. I mean, my fiancée is doing all the communicating and coordinating. Plus, she paid for the tasting with money coming out of her checking account. Then, why am I the only one they email? Why do I have to forward my fiancée her receipt for the meals that she paid for? I wish their sales coordinator would click Reply All to include both the bride and the groom on email threads. Another communication faux pas - it's a seemingly little thing - they keep spelling my name wrong. I wouldn't bring this up except for the fact that my email address is my name. It's an open book test. And if they miss that level of detail, I worry about what else they're missing. Anyway, after much correspondence and forwarding multiple emails, we finally made it to the tasting. The tasting was delicious! However, our concerns about their poor communication remain. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good your chef is if your sales coordinator is chasing people away.

If you're looking for a solid caterer in the Piedmont Triad region, I recommend Pepper Moon. Pepper Moon catered heavy hors d'oeuvres at the event. It was a simple setup: one long self-serve buffet of small bites. No passed trays, action stations, or anything like that. For us, it got the job done. From what I recall, we had teriyaki chicken skewers with sweet chili sauce, meatballs with marinara, biscuits (I think they were cheddar biscuits), black bean cakes with a yogurt sauce; a cubed cheese display with cheddar, Swiss, and pepper jack cheeses, grapes, berries, and assorted crackers; and a fresh fruit display with cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, grapes, and berries. There may have been a dessert/sweet as well, but I don't remember. We had a special reunion cake, but I'm not sure if it was provided by Pepper Moon. Just under 100 guests were expected, but only about half that showed up, so we had a lot of leftovers. There were boxes for us to take leftovers home. In general, the menu served was safe with several crowd-pleasers. My wife really enjoyed the food and went back for seconds. Her favorites were the meatballs (soft and moist) and black bean cakes. My go-to was the teriyaki chicken skewers. The chicken was tender and appetizing and I've been a fan of that sweet Thai chili sauce for chicken since I was little. There was a cash bar for drinks. I'm not sure if that was Pepper Moon, Congdon Yards, or another vendor. The Pepper Moon staff were formally dressed (the event was dressy casual), polite, and attentive. One of the employees was very nice to me and really made sure I was taken care of as I made my way down the buffet line the first time. I think they were expecting more guests, so they may have been a bit overstaffed. Whatever the case, they did a good job. Pepper Moon's offices and facilities building is located just south of the airport on the Greensboro-High Point city border.
