    Burnt ends in the sampler means 3 - mostly gristle
    Ron M.

    The samplers are shockingly small. Overall the sides are very good as is the bbq sauce. The sausage was the best of the bunch, but the brisket was pretty bad IMHO. However I come from Texas and am a BBQ snob. The burnt ends were just burned gristle so they got us on that one. One rib was amazing but the other two were not good. The ambience was a nice traditional BBQ feel and the IBC root beer was good. Good soft drink choices but poor beer choices.

    The pulled chicken sandwich and the corn pudding were amazing! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Alex took our order at the front and was SUPER friendly! Amazing service! Everything was clean and spacious too.

    Cheap Mac taste like dish water

    New to area so we went hoping for greatness. Disclaimer, we are from the south and are Sonny's bbq fans. First , waited in line and we were next to Oder. Then we heard the cook yell up to order taker that they were out of ribs. 7 pm and out of ribs? Really? What bbq joint is out of ribs? So I ordered Mac and cheese to be completely shocked that they are serving really low end JTM cheap Mac and cheese. Taste like dish water. I mean come on, at least buy a premium Mac and cheese. Sysco has several different price ranges. This is worse than school lunch. My wife ordered 2 meat plate. Brisket had no smoke ring and tasted bland without any smoke flavor. It was moist but no flavor. Collards we salty and tasted like they were directly out of an Allen's can of collards. Delicious metallic flavor City BBQ! Very disappointing!

    I've been to city BBQ quite a few times over the years and today was one of the better experiences I have had. It seems as though the Powell location is managed well. The service was quick and friendly. The brisket was absolutely amazing. Also, I highly recommend the corn pudding.

    Pathetic hot chicken sandwich

    Amazing food as always but what made this a not so great experience was them letting people walk in without a mask.

    Good service but the ribs. Ribs meat should fall off the bone, this one is so rubbery and dry.

This is a very bright lighted and well taken care of establishment with nice clean bathrooms as well. We received decent service, and received our food in a timely manner. We started with the Burnt Ends Poutine, which is a shareable sized loaded French fries with Smoked Brisket, Cheese Curds, Beef Gravy and perfectly pickle red onion on top. For 15$ I Never had fries this way but it certainly didn't disappoint and was very interesting. Everyone decided on burgers. Two of us got the French onion burger and two of us got the All American Burger. The French onion burger consisted of very very caramelized onions, three different cheeses, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and a toasted bun with butter accompanied by french fries. The caramelized onions were so creamy and tasty. It really brought the whole burger together. The All-American Burger consisted of grilled onions, American cheese, a special sauce, bacon, lettuce, tomato on a buttered toasted bun with fries. The burgers were pretty big in patty size and we all finished our food with no problems. I'm glad we came here instead of spending over 100$ on 3 meals at the zoo!!

I walk in to two teenage boys who do not greet me at the register for over two minutes. When one finally does, he gets confused by the first sandwich order which he then needs to correct.

It then took nearly 30 minutes to fill the order, and when they finally got it done two of the four sandwiched were wrong, with one being literally the completely wrong type of sandwich. If a business was trying to lose customers they would run it exactly like this. I would give them 0 stars if I could.

The last time we went was a prime example. For one thing, when you ask a patron whether their gluten-free option is an allergy or a preference, it can come off very rude the way it is ask. If someone wants something gluten-free, then it should just be made gluten-free. No questions asked as that is rather intrusive. The second thing is we were eating lunch and there were about eight other people in there. It was 2:05. We didn't realize what time it was. They could've simply said. "Hey we're closing in the dining room" and we would have left. Instead they started putting up chairs and mopping the floor. There was an elderly couple in there, and I am on crutches due to A knee surgery. We all had to leave over wet floors and they seemed to care less. Even locking the front door and asking us to walk down the wet hallway with no rugs to leave. It was merely 2:10pm. They were downright rude and could've cared less for the patrons safety.

You grab your own table and order at the counter. Food is brought to you. The lunch menu was decent, though the breakfast menu looked even better, and I expected a few more coffee options. I had the smoked turkey club, super fresh and really good! Overall, good food and a cute spot. I'd come back and try breakfast next time!
