    Pickles

    I visited City BBQ before and enjoyed their barbecue and friendly staff. However, this time I was dissatisfied with how frustrating and time consuming trying to place an order online became. My goal was to order delivery and not come into the store. I first tried ordering with the City BBQ app. I followed the steps to select the items to order, add to my bag, check out, add my credit card, and then place the order. After selecting the place order button, the app would just close completely. I repeated all of these steps 2 more times with the same result. I checked my account and there was no record of an order. I then called the store but didn't get ahold of anyone. So I opened my laptop and tried ordering using the City BBQ website. I followed the same steps as with the app and after placing order it wouldn't process on the website either. I logged in and saw no record of an order placed. I tried this 2 more times with the same result so called the store again to place an order, but didn't reach anyone. I understand businesses may not always answer the phone because they could be on a call with another customer, but this is why you have the convenience of online ordering when it works. I had a reward and needed to use it before leaving town. I ended up having to drive to the restaurant to order in person. I mentioned the online issues to a staff member and he said other customers also mentioned the same issues yesterday and he will email IT. The staff were friendly. They have free pickles and sauces upon request. The staff recommended I try all 3 sauces (original, fire, and sweet) and gave me a to-go packet of each. The pork sandwich was good with a generous portion and the green beans and mac & cheese were great sides for the dish. Overall, the food is good, but was frustrating when the online ordering option didn't work and I couldn't reach anyone by phone so had to drive to the restaurant which I wasn't anticipating with my schedule!

    First time here so was curious to see what the food was like. This is an order at the counter first and then it's delivered to you at your table kind of place. Large confusing menu so it's better to be prepared before going here. No alcohol here so forget a brueski before you eat. We got a three meat combo with Mac and cheese and coleslaw for sides. All were ok but not great. The brisket was cooked perfectly but too salty for us. Pulled pork average and pulled chicken had a mix of onions in it and we were not a fan of it. There is a selection of sauces that was good and we had a corn muffin that was excellent. The music was nice and the dining room was warm and comfortable. Counter guy was great and helpful. It's a little difficult to get into the parking area if heading East but easy if heading west on Mineral point so try to go that way. It's an ok place but not a favorite of ours.

    Lord knows I enjoy the franchise as I was introduced in Charlotte, NC almost a decade ago. This location has a guy that went from the front register dealing with a customer to the grill and pulled ribs WITHOUT EVER changing gloves. Y'all gloves cost nothing. Gloves are to protect people you serve not the human wearing them in the food industry. Now, the gloves are definitely for the protection of workers in the medical field. My point change the gloves or just opt out.

    What can I say? Another trip to gastronomic heaven. The aroma once you walk into this joint is just a mere tease compared to the smokehouse-Barbeque nirvana that awaits you. The meat falls off the bones. The chicken sandwich was crunchy, tasty, and just a joy to consume. The pulled pork sandwich is tender and moist. The fries alone are so so good. Just the right amount of saltiness. The skin-on adds to the texture and flavor. Heck, even the slice of buttery toasted bread makes you go 'Mmmmm!' Just writing this review is making my mouth water. I can't wait to go back for more. I should also mention that the entire staff is super helpful and they all seem to really enjoy their work.

    Stopped in today for some lunch. This was my first time here and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They were patient with our ordering as we do have some allergies. They were very accommodating. It's a large space with lots of tables. Right where you get your soda there are the different barbecue sauces to choose from including a vinegar one called swine wine. Just for the name alone they get points. Great place for barbecued items. I will definitely be back.

    I came to City Barbecue for my brother in law's birthday. I was pleasantly surprised how awesome this place is! City Barbecue is a delicious casual counter serve BBQ smokehouse with a variety of bbq meats, sandwiches, salads, side dishes, and scrumptious dessert options with nice size portions at affordable prices! There were lots of amazing smoked meat options such as pulled pork, chicken, brisket, ribs, turkey, sausage, etc! The real star of the show was their brisket which was very flavorful, smokey, and super tender! If you would like to try more than one meat you could try the sampler platter served with a side of buttery Texas toast! I love that there were many sides to choose from such as their collard greens, fresh hot hush puppies, green beans, potato salad, and more! Complete your meal with a satisfying drink like lemonade or iced sweet tea! They offer a huge unique variety of bbq sauces to choose from everything from tangy, sweet, spicy, and smokey bbq sauces which you pick out yourself which is super fun because you can serve yourself and try all the different bbq sauces! The service was super fast, efficient, and friendly! The ambiance was very comfortable with lots of family and kids there! Make sure to try their comforting heavenly desserts like the triple chocolate cake, banana pudding, and peach cobbler to satisfy your sweet tooth! My husband devoured the chocolate cake! He loved their cake! City Barbecue is a delicious, casual bbq smokehouse to enjoy with friends and family that is great value!

    I was there for dinner on a weekday. The place had plenty of seats available. Nashville chicken sandwich was my favorite. It had good flavors. My other item was brisket sandwich. Definitely add some barbeque sauce to it. I added original sauce. It was good too. For dessert peach cobbler was my favorite item. It came hot. One order of peach cobbler was enough for 2 people. Banana pudding was just ok. I should have skipped it. Kids chicken tenders was good.

    We ordered takeout to split between 2 people - the Judge's Sampler with 2 pint sides - brisket, pulled pork, chicken breast & wing, half slab ribs, and sides of 3-cheese baked mac and baked beans with brisket. We were supposed to get Texas toast but they forgot it. Pros: had enough food leftover for us both to eat another meal (which for being $50 was nice). Would come back for the brisket (savory), mac (cheesy), and baked beans (saucy). Cons: our takeout order only included 1 sauce for all of the meat, which was nowhere near enough. Would not come back for the pulled pork (dry), ribs (dry), or the cornbread (bland, tbh boxed Jiffy's or Zatarain's is better). Overall it was alright, but we were not impressed.

    We had first tried City Barbecue a few years ago in Florence, KY when we lived in Northern Kentucky. It was a frequent spot we ate ate. We were pleased to see the franchise had made its way up to Wisconsin. This location was just as satisfying as our previous experiences at the other location. Lot's of options to choose from as far as meats and sides go. They offer all of the major BBQ styles and meats. They also offer many southern sides to choose from and desserts. My usual used to be the "More Cowbell" sandwich but this time I tried the limited time sandwich, the "Carolina Goldmine". It consisted of smoked sausage and pulled pork on a sandwich. It was tasty but a bit more complicated to eat with the sausage as part of the sandwich. They also offer a variety of BBQ sauces/styles from areas around the U.S. Nice, clean restaurant with outdoor seating area as well. Service was friendly and quick. Would recommend this place for any BBQ lover.

    Catered an all-ages picnic for 56 but I ordered for 50 heads because a dozen were young kids…read more Ordered brisket, chicken, BBQ sauce, beans, slaw, and mac & cheese. There was plenty left over. The food was delivered 21 minutes away, arriving exactly at the promised time, 100% complete, with some trays still too hot to touch. I included bread & supplies with the order, and the delivery included plenty of serving spoons & tongs, utensils, plates, & napkins. Brisket and sauce were fantastic. The chicken needs work--dry and low flavor. The hamburger buns were very bready and big, too big for many. The sides were fun and interesting new flavors. The slaw was tasty-tangy but very white--challenging those who like their vegetables green. Sorry folks. The beans were super popular. I would get them again, all of those sides. But the chicken...you might go in and taste-test it first. On the front end, it was so easy to arrange for this catering through the website and email. The communication was prompt and accurate. Changes, inquiries, and payment were handled seamlessly. I arranged for this food from long distance, and Beef&Butter really came through. It's a little more expensive than some other Madison options but in the end I was really happy to support this business and the people running it. I wish them great success in the future.

    Nice place. Ambience is typical BBQ joint vibe and was clean…read more Had the brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, coleslaw and baked beans. The sausage is a rock star - it was fantastic. Sides were pretty good too. However, I have to say the brisket was a bit of a disappointment - it was way overcooked, like it had been smoked at too high of a temperature. It was edible but really dry. Just overcooked or held too long. Had to douse it in sauce to eat it which is a total shame. Would have been a 5 star rating if not for the brisket. I'd come back again, maybe when they were busier.

    Ordered pickup from here on a Friday night before the rush. We ended up getting there early enough…read morethat we decided to stay and eat there, as tables were open. Online ordering was very easy and the food was ready right on time! We got the smoked pork shoulder sandwich platter with coleslaw and corn bread bites and the spicy chicken breast sandwich platter with baked beans and Mac & Cheese. The buns they use for these sandwiches are a great texture and hold up well to the amount of meat and sauce that you want on a BBQ sandwich. It never felt soggy, which is rare around the area. The pork was flavorful with a very fine shred. I wouldn't say the chicken was spicy as said on the menu, but more peppered. The real star is the bbq sauce because it comes out warm and is thin enough to pour but has enough texture to stick to the meat. Went well with everything from the meats, to the Mac & Cheese, to the corn bread bites. The corn bread bites were the stand out side, kind of like a hush puppy. Would recommend at least one person in your group gets them. I even liked them topped with the baked beans. Overall, very tasty food and nice people working. After hearing so many great things about this place over the years, it's about time I got there. Lived up to all the hype!

    First I should say I judge a barbecue joint by its ribs. That's it. I have had barbecue all over…read morethe country and smoke a mean rib myself. These ribs were as good as any I've had around the country, and better than most. Some places brag about "fall of the bone tender." To me that is overcooked. Ribs should be "fairly easily coaxed off the bone tender. The need a little bit of chew to them or the are too dry. Smokey Jon's ribs were just right. Now the rest. The barbecue beans were very good. I put a little brisket burnt ends in when I make them. That would have improved these to top notch. I usually shy away from barbecue joint mac and cheese but I ordered it here. Hey, I'm in Wisconsin. It's got to be at least ok. It was better than just ok. It had a generous amount of cheese and the symtickiness that good Mac and cheese must have. For my taste, it had too much garlic. I'm a big garlic fan. When I see a recipe that says "one clove of garlic," I figure it's a misprint and they meant "one head of garlic." Here, they used powdered garlic, and I feel like the amount they used covered up the natural sweetness of the cheese. The ambiance of the place was spot on. I am visiting Madison, from Oregon (Go Ducks!) Driving by the place it looks like they've got to have at least passible 'cue. Inside it was classic back woods barbecue chic. "Log cabin" looking interior walls, red and white checkered plastic table cloths, and great old school blues on the sound system. Is this place perfect? No, won't get that until you pass through the Pearly Gates. But it's about as good as your going to get anywhere else, unless you come over to my back yard on 4th of July.

The first thing we noticed was that the restaurant seemed brighter. I don't know if they turned up the lights. Also, there seemed to be fewer tables and slightly more spacious. The second thing that changed was the menu. It was a lot shorter, missing were several Korean entrees since our visit in July. It no longer had Korean BBQ offerings that they show on their website. My daughter was disappointed that they didn't have any soups on their new menu and settled for Fried Chicken. My wife ordered Jop Chae, a noodle stir fry which she had on our last visit but she said that it didn't seem to have the same favor. My son also ordered fried chicken although I don't recall the name but it had 5 different types of spiciness, rated from 1 being mild to 5 which the waitress warned was very hot and recommended 3. Seeing that he likes spicy, he opted for 5, which my son found to be incredibly hot, to the point where couldn't finish eating it. I ordered Loaded Fries with Cali sauce, which was basically a plate of fries topped with sliced up chicken tenders and had a creamy saucy that you might find on Sushi. The meals didn't come with the traditional Banchan which is a side of few different Korean style vegetables that is usually placed on the center of the table for everyone to share. Although my wife's dish did come with a side of diced sweet white radishes. I later ordered Kim Chi which came in a small cup. After our meal, my wife went to the counter to pay and asked the cashier if the restaurant was under a different management. The cashier said that they had reopened and that they had a "soft opening" with the new management and a condensed menu. She also said that they welcomed feedback. Although we left disappointed with the changes, we will be back to give them another chance and hope they offer more of a Korean BBQ style menu.
