Great food and service. The pork was very tender and the green beans tasty. Had the baker potatoe for the first time and it was great.

My son and I love city bbq! The staff is friendly, tthe food is always delish, and we love the chocolate cake for dessert. You won't be disappointed! Great service all around, especially Amber and Griffin! We highly recommend! read more

My fiancée was treating me to a post-birthday dinner, and I specifically wanted City Barbeque because I had it a couple of months ago and was absolutely floored by how good it was. Unfortunately, this visit was a major letdown. We chose this location over the Blackmon Dr. one solely based on the health score -- this location was showing a 100 while the other had an 86. In hindsight, I wish we had gone back to the original spot. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt off. Every employee we encountered looked at us with visible disinterest, almost like our presence was an inconvenience -- and this was well before closing. We stood at the counter for about five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. The employee who eventually took our order was patient while we decided, but she spoke so quietly that it was hard to hear her. The biggest disappointment, though, was the food. It came out cold, which was surprising and frustrating. I know and love BBQ, and temperature plays a huge role in flavor. Even assuming all locations receive food from the same distributor, this meal tasted noticeably different -- and not in a good way. The cold temperature absolutely impacted the experience. To make matters worse, the condiment station was messy and unclean. When I picked up our food, I thanked the employee and wished him a good day, only to be completely ignored. That small interaction really summed up the overall lack of hospitality. We walked away extremely disappointed, especially given that this was meant to be a celebratory post-birthday meal. I will absolutely have City Barbeque again -- just not at this location. read more

I'm typically weary of chain barbecue restaurants and now confirmed for good reason. Barbecue is a cooking technique and cuisine that requires attention and dare I say, "love". I didn't get any of that in the three meat combo that I ordered. The brisket and chicken really weren't notable at all and lacked memorable flavor. The turkey was perfectly and stood out between the three meats. I'll admit, the crispy baked potato was one of the best I've ever had. read more

Cold meat, out of several sides without notification, good potential but could be so much better

Zahna gave great service and food is always amazing! I Love coming here to eat with family and getting some awesome bbq

It was mediocre. I probably would not try it again. Service & cleanliness was the best part.

Food: So good that I picked up some for my Xmas dinner Service: Very friendly older gentleman serviced me Ambiance: BBQ style restaurant Parking is right in front & they also offer have curbside pick up via app check-in read more

City BBQ has the worst customer service ever. I will never go back there. I'm talking about the one in Sandy Springs. The manager sucks. We've been going for over four years, but after today, I will never go back. read more

I have visited this store a few times over the past couple of years when visiting family. The food has always been incredible; brisket is my favorite. The one thing I notice when visiting, is one worker who seems to always be there working. Her name is Jessica and she is super friendly, very helpful. We look forward to our next visit! read more

Great food, good service,takeout has improved. Love the turkey and banana pudding! Always adding new dishes!

Okay-bbq. My husband was craving bbq and wanted to try this place out. We ordered pulled pork, pulled chicken, and chicken thigh with leg. For our sides, we tried the mac &cheese and corn pudding. We've definitely have had better bbq. The flavors were not there. The buttered toast was really good though. Probably what was most disappointing to me was the banana pudding and chocolate cake. Usually, chocolate cake recipes call for a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of all the other ingredients. This chocolate cake tastes like it contained a cup of salt. All I could taste was the salt. I think my friends would be shocked to hear that I threw away my favorite dessert. read more

Walked in at prime time on a weeknight, and there were a few customers dinning in but a whole lot of to go orders. The inside has plenty of seating, there's also a large patio, and it has the overall look and feel of a chain bbq place. Took a while to order at the counter, as the person ahead of us had a lot questions. Would have been nice if they'd added a cashier to speed us along, but once we ordered the food came quickly. The fries were cold but were quickly exchanged with an apology with some fresh ones. The brisket was ok, chicken good, and the turkey surprisingly my favorite. Mac and cheese was also top notch, rich with a cheesy crust. Everything was a good sized portion too. read more

Focus on your service not your app subscribers. The first contact is the most important for a restaurant and your counter guy midday yesterday (larger guy in diff color shirt) was not a welcoming experience. By the time I ordered he had asked twice if I wanted to be in the club then was pushing re: whether I signed up yet. No interest in service or making sure the lunch I was there for was actually good. The bbq in my sampler was about an ice cream scoop sized portion. Always loved this place and the ribs and most everything. Do better please before this crushes your business. read more

What the heck happened to the menu??!!! There is no family meal, and the single serving meats are incredibly small. The side item containers are now super small too--- literally one scoop. Everything is now an upsize for additional money. Not only that, but they squeeze all the meats in one container with a piece of toast. :( Buns and cornbread is extra. This used to be my favorite spot to pickup a family meal. Today was my last visit. $22 for an itty-bitty single serve meal. I was so disappointed. On top of it all, they had no peach cobbler!!! This was my kids' school cheer squad's go-to place for meals before games and my family's favorite dinner spot for bbq and brisket. Goodbye forever City Barbecue. sobsob... read more

Always so good, my husband says this is the best bbq hands down. Tried their cornbread for the first time recently and it was hard, went and told the front and they brought me the most fluffiest and fresh cornbread I've ever had, delicious. I always get the brisket sandwich and baked beans, can't go wrong with those and my husband gets the ribs with cornbread and mac. I really like their mac and cheese, I always steal some of his lol. read more

For the third time, I visited this location and they were out of ribs. Sunday night 545 no ribs. Third time it's happened. To this day it's the only barbecue place. I've been to in my 60+ years that has ever been out of ribs. They care more about saving a few bucks on ribs that don't get sold then to making sure they have ribs when a customer comes in on a Sunday night before 6 PM. Pathetic think twice before bothering to go because they're likely to not have ribs at city Barbecue Roswell Rd., Sandy Springs. read more

Great food at City BBQ! My review is based on catering order for 20 people. They did a great job with the food and set up. We had brisket, chicken, baked beans, green beans, corn bread, and cookies. See pic. Nice layout on plastic sheet with each item labeled including the three different types of sauces. The food. My choice was sandwich with brisket, chicken, and spicy BBQ sauce. With side of green beans and baked beans. Very tasty. All the other folks enjoyed their food and more than enough to go around. My next task is to visit the restaurant which is conveniently located in large shopping complex with lots of free parking. Got to try the ribs too. Enjoy! read more

I'm a big fan of City Barbeque. The BBQ meats are great but I'm also a big fan of their sides. Their fried okra is really very good as is their corn pudding. I often get 4 side plates as an entree. Their banana pudding is also pretty decadent. read more

Quality of food way below average. I ordered through Grubhub the 2 meat 2 sides. And a lemonade. I did not receive my lemonade. The pulled pork was full of fat. I maybe was able to get three bites from it. After dissecting the meat. The greens were bad, just bad. Not good at all. The best thing surprising was the Texas toast. Which I wasn't even planning on eating. The turkey was dry. It needed the packaged bbq sauce. And yes I said packaged bbq sauce. Never again will I order. read more

This location is my new favorite in the metro area. This location has a huge dining room and plenty of parking. The menu is overwhelming with many great bbq/sides selection. I was disappointed in the lack of combo options - ordered à la carte. 1/2 rack of ribs, corn pudding, fried okra, and potatoes salad. The ribs were tender and juicy. The sides were as expected. Sweet tea - perfect. As a casual spot, I appreciated the staff walked around and ensured guest were satisfied and had what they needed. Highly recommend. read more

I had a taste for bbq, so I stopped by this location. This particular one happens to be my favorite due to the easy ample parking & service. There's also a good bit of seating and its always kept clean! This time around, I ordered the sampler with ribs, pulled pork, green beans, and baked beans. The ribs literally fell off the bone... and my pulled pork with the vinegar sauce was so good! The sides were also fresh as my green beans and baked tasted amazing. To top it off, the toast... soaking up the remainder of the bbq sauce. I'd definitely give this place a visit if you're looking for solid bbq in the area! read more

I got a bad case of food poisoning after ordering takeout here recently and the lack of cleanliness would seem to be a likely culprit. When I picked up my to go order, I noticed a large pan of uncooked chicken near my to go order, with flies hovering overhead. In other instances I've picked up from here, I've seen large buckets of unknown/unsanitary-looking liquids near the to go area. read more

Was always curious about this one.... And it's nothing special. Somewhat pricy for what it's worth. We have yet to find exciting BBQ in ATL metro tbh. The staff was very friendly and the space was clean. But overall, you can probably skip on this place . read more

Not too shabby! We were greeted at the counter with smiles. It wasn't overly packed and the vibe was relatively calm and quiet. The ribs were very good. Smoked nicely and the signature sauces were tasty. I took off one star because I have to be honest about the sides. The collards were good but very very salty. I couldn't finish the okra due to the amount of hard stems and strings. But the peach cobbler took their place and stole the show. It was excellent. Just the right amount of bread/peach ratio. Would I return? Absolutely. read more

First time here and I was impressed. there was plenty of seating and weather was greta for the patio. We got Smoked Chicken Wings and Pork Ribs with collard greens and potato salad. The staff was very friendly and kind, especially to my 2 year old son. they have about 5 different BBQ sauces to choose from. I tried all of them and to be honest they have very similar tastes; but they are all very good. The ribs on a scale of 1-10 were an 8. the bark was perfect but the ribs were a little bit tough. even though I say tough; they were super tender. If they literally had fallen off the bone when I pick them up they would be a 10. I make ribs all the time and this is very easy to do especially if you dont serve the ribs when they are at there best. The collard greens were not very good in my opinion, they needed to be cooked longer and could have used some more flavor. the potato salad was great and the wings on a scale of 1-10 were a 7. I really dont go to BBQ restaurants because I spent $500 on a smoker and make great ribs at home but I would definitely recommend this restaurant tp anyone looking for great BBQ. read more

I have had 2 good dinners here recently. First, I went and got the chicken sandwich and chicken tenders, mac and cheese and fries. All delicious. Next I came back for the chicken sandwich again. While the line is sometimes slow (not due to the restaurant but people taking a very long time to order), the food comes quick and good. There is a sauce bar that you can choose all your sauces from while you're waiting and even take them for your to go orders. There's an option to order online but there's sometime about being able to order in person, though I'd do online next time maybe because the people were slow in front of us. If you download the app and do loyalty, seems to be a good rewards program and I already got some discounts emailed to me as well! My one tip is to not upgrade your sandwich to the texas toast, it wasn't necessary! read more

Quality ingredients. Ample portions. Great recipes. Killer desserts - Banana Pudding and Peach Cobbler are my favorites. Excellent sides. Obviously, a high degree of quality control. Fast and friendly service. read more

I decided to try it on a random Monday around 2 pm. The restaurant was very clean and there was not a long wait. I was instantly greeted. The customer service was top tier and the people were really friendly. I ordered the nachos and replaced the pulled pork with brisket, smoked wings, okra, and banana pudding. The nachos serving was huge. I wish it had a little more meat, but overall it was well worth the $11. It comes with queso, meat, onions, and bbq sauce. The bbq sauce was a nice touch. The smoked wings were very flavorful. It paired well with the chipotle ranch, which tasted home made. I dipped the okra in the chipotle ranch is well. No complaints there. The food was very flavorful. For delicious, I chose the banana pudding. It's different than a traditional banana pudding as it has caramel in it. Overall it was good, but I wish it had some more wafers in it and less caramel. It was very sweet. I definitely enjoyed my visit and will be back. read more

R and I came here for dinner in early November on a Tuesday night, and we thought it was all good. Parking was easy to get in the very large and free parking lot that is shared by all of the nearby businesses in the long shopping center. City Barbeque is physically attached to a separate group of shops that are close to the intersection of Abernathy and Roswell Roads. City Barbeque's main entrance is at the front corner of the restaurant. Customers need to keep walking until they get to the order counter, where, after viewing the posted menu, they can place their order. The self serve beverage dispenser is nearby. This restaurant has lots of tables, both in the indoor dining areas and the outdoor patio, and it's well lit and clean. R and I went to the order counter. The employee there was very helpful and answered all of our questions. I was interested in getting the ribs, and the employee told me that, since it was Tuesday, ribs were at a special lower price, at $1.99 per rib. I ordered a half rack of (6) ribs at the Tuesday special price, and a potato salad. R ordered a pulled pork sandwich with hush puppies. We chose a table in a section where we were able to see the outdoor patio and Roswell Road. I went back to the counter near the pick up area. The employees were quick and efficient, and our food was ready for me to pick up. I got a container of brush fire sauce for a little added spiciness. City Barbeque has solid bbq, and its smoking process give the meats a very nice flavor - good enough flavor to not require bbq sauce. However, any bbq sauce put on the meats only enhance the smoked flavor. City Barbeque isn't the best bbq I've had, but it's certainly nowhere near the worst. The ribs were on the cusp of being fall-off-the-bone, and had a very good flavor. The potato salad was also good; I liked the firmness of the potatoes and the crunchiness of the onions. R said that his meal was good too. This was a good dining experience for us. read more

My friend and I came in for lunch and everything besides the hush puppies were cold. The bread was so hard and stale we couldn't even break it up to eat. The pulled pork was incredibly dry Save your money and go elsewhere We each spent over 25 bucks per meal and it was a big let down The managers were sitting in the dining room and I was tempted to show them how bad the food was but they didn't seem very friendly. Only positive was the friendly cashier read more

The okra, collard greens, and banana pudding are to die for. The meats unfortunately we're not my favorite. The brisket was very dry and tough. And so was the pulled pork sandwich. The okra is so crispy and flavorful. Same with the Collie greens. The banana pudding really was the start of all the items that we got. I honestly wish we had more. The banana flavor was delicious, did not taste artificial. And it had some kind of crumble on top of the whip cream. Oh my gosh I wish I would've gotten another one. The service was quick. Honestly, the customer service was exceptional. From the moment we walked in through the door, everyone was greeting us and very kind. I love seeing how the employees interacted with one another. The food here was a little better. I am referring to the meat, we would definitely be back read more

I love city bbq. I used to go to the one in Decatur and suwanee. But this one in sandy springs is close to my job. The service here is amazing and so is the food.

First time dining here, I met a friend for lunch. It was early afternoon and not very busy. I had no one in line before me and it seems that my order was ready 3 seconds after my payment was processed. I almost ordered one of the meat sampler platters but decided to go with a half rack of ribs and the collard greens. The ribs were pretty good, I enjoyed them without additional bbq sauce. The collard greens were ok. I would order the ribs again-- either the rack or part of a sampler -- but would try a different side. Overall my experience was good and I would definitely go back. read more

A bit hot and cold. What's good: Mac&cheese and greens - Cheese and an amazingly creamy balance for the Mac&Cheese. - Greens were perfectly done, great balance of salty and the herbal green taste. Pieces of pulled pork in the greens added a nice touch!! What was ehh: The fried stuff... like fried pickles or chicken tenders. It was either slightly overly done or not battered enough. Could be that they're busy. Not sure... but I would stick to the non-fried stuff! read more

Ordered a 2 meat plate to go. Pluses were 2 orders of bread and plastic ware. Pulled pork was good. Chicken was very salty not a hint of barbecue sauce, the greens were not seasoned at all and the okra was not cooked in hot enough grease. This is my second and last time. I go out to eat every other week they didn't offer barbecue sauce or desserts. I'm done. read more
