    Beef Brisket Mac & Cheese

    Came here last minute with my boyfriend. Everyone was so sweet once we came in and they brought our food to our table. We each got the brisket sandwich, which was delicious. There's a section where you can choose your BBQ sauce, which I thought was super cool. I had to try the mac and cheese, it did not disappoint! I wish I could eat more of it. Overall it was a chill environment with good company.

    Horrible! Moldy food and managers who can't even bother dealing with it! We called for a refund and although the lady who answered the phone was fine the managers couldn't bother come and talk to me

    We have eaten at many City Barbecue locations across northern Illinois (still waiting for one in McHenry county), you will never see me give it less than five stars. We've never had a bad meal or a rough piece of meat. The servings are always worth the price you pay and the service is always great. This location is my second favorite ... never too loud, never too crowded and always clean.

    Beef brisket sandwich

    One of the best brisket that i had.... The flavor was savory and beefy, with just the right amount of smoky kick. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned.

    This review is for the catering service of city BBQ. Please consider city BBQ as a catering option for your next family get together, business occasion, or any need to host a large meal. City barbecue made it very easy to order and the process was seamless. Delivery also included set up, which if you order catering often like I do, this tends to be hit or miss with places offering this extra step of service at no charge. The food itself was great and portions were substantial. The meats were tender, the cornbread is a must buy, and the banana pudding was fantastic. Thanks, City BBQ for great service and great food!

    Great tasting pastrami, for a limited time. Baked Mac and ice tea combo $15 in rewards

    So bummed the Downers Grove location closed. It was 4 miles away from home and a 9 minute drive. Today's journey north was 19 miles and nearly 45 minutes. I wanted to try their pastrami. It was fantastic and I enjoyed the new baked Mac and cheese. Cashing in some rewards made the trip seem worth it that much more. Friendly staff and everything was kept clean. I might need to plan another trip up north and stop at their location in Deerfield.

    Judges Sampler

    The first time we stopped in they were out of almost everything except sausage. Not a great first impression and we left to find something else to eat. I was determined to get some barbecue though so we tried again. On the second visit we shared the Judge's Sampler. The chicken had a nice sweet sauce. Pulled pork was nicely cooked with a good bark. She loved the brisket, I liked it okay. The ribs were meaty and had a fantastic bark. I loved them but she wasn't as impressed because of a piece of gristle. Picky. The tater salad was pretty good and the collard greens were delicious and perfectly seasoned. They even made me homesick for the south. The cornbread was bland but perfectly baked. The place is bright and open and everyone is friendly. The tables were sticky though and she found some silverware that was still greasy. Some of the food was hot and some of it was cold, like it wasn't all cooked at the same time. Five stars for the meats, six stars for the ribs. Ten stars for the greens. Minus points for the sticky tables and dirty silverware. Another minus for not having any hot sauce on the tables. What kind of self-respecting BBQ joint doesn't have Crystal or Tabasco on the tables? A great one has both, plus a bottle of pepper sauce.

    Pick Two Meats Chipotle BBQ and smoked sausage with a side of collard greens and potato salad
    Tasha M.

    We did pickup and we didn't know we could pull up to the side for curbside pickup whoops but they were nice and let us know for next time. Food was delicious, not our first time ordering from this location. We have been to one other location and the quality is consistent. We didn't dine in but it was empty from the outside on a Sunday evening. This has become our go-to take away for BBQ close to home.
