    City sampler (sub triple que instead of turkey) with Mac and cheese and cornbread
    Michelle L.

    We were bringing a out-of-country family member here to try out American barbeque so we ordered a city sampler to share, which normally comes with brisket, sausage, pulled pork, and turkey along with a choice of two sides and Texas toast. The cashier warned us the mac and cheese was not the best that day, so that was appreciated. He stated it was less saucy than normal and even offered to show us the look of it. We ended up ordering it still for the experience, but it could've used a little more sauce/cheese. For our second side, we got the cornbread, but it was just okay, a little dry in some parts. They also were out of a few meats, which was reasonable since we came near the end of day. We substituted the turkey for the triple que which was a mix meat combo including the rib meat. The triple que was nice that it came already sauced, and it was my favorite of the meats. The brisket was a bit dry, but the tables have four sauces from which you can choose. It was disappointing that the city sampler states that brisket is included, but we had to pay $3.20 extra for it, especially since it was just okay. The tables were nice and clean and had plenty of napkins.

    Great bbq, easy parking, friendly service! Located by full sail at university and Semoran, this is a great bbq spot. You can smell the bbq from a block away! I've had the loaded potato and it was fantastic. Most recently I got the brisket sandwich and it was terrific. They have a station to add onion, jalapeños, etc so you can make it the way you like it with their selection of bbq sauces. They also have amazing French fries! The type you get at the fair that requires malt vinegar. Plenty of parking and super friendly staff! I've you're looking for good bbq this is definitely worth a try!

    The service here was awesome. I told the cashier it was my first time and after I ordered he brought me a sample of beans to try. I normally don't like beans but I decided to give them a try and I'll definitely get them next time. I believe the cashiers name was Hector. He was super kind and helped with all of my questions. I got the turkey sandwich which was really good and moist. The fries I would probably skip next time, same with the collard's. There was a bit too much vinegar taste to the collard's for my liking. I liked how nice and clean inside is. It definitely feels like a bbq restaurant. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be stopping here again. It was so good I forgot to take pictures of my food.

    Ok so first of all it's pretty expensive but it was a lot of food so I get it. Plus ... BRISKET. The brisket was ok. The fries were soggy but I know it was our fault since we got there like 20 or so minutes after the pick up time. We didn't go inside but the outside is well kept. Looks clean and well maintained. The fried okra was good and the Mac and cheese too. I LOOOVVVEEE the collard greens. I just wish it didn't have pork. I will be back but I don't know how often. I didn't really like the chicken not gonna lie. The brisket was decent but not what I was expecting. The brush fire sauce is soooooo yummy. I'm glad I tried it. Like I said I'll probably be back but I just don't know when.

    I can't believe I have slept on this place so long. IT IS AMAZING! The BBQ here is something that my husband literally wanted the next day. The employees here are so wonderful and helpful when I was trying to navigate the menu for the first time and suggested I pick the three meat platter so we could try a bit of everything. My husband and I split it as there was so much food! Sitting inside I loved the vibe. Very open with lots of seating and it was a busy day I can see this place being very lively in a positive way. The condiment bar had pickles which always is a bonus for me. You can also get real plates and silverware to sit down with which was great! My favorite is the corn pudding. SO SO SO good just like my mom makes. the brisket was incredible too. The beans actually have that brisket mixed in which was a bonus. Love it here. Will be back. Join the rewards program and wrack up some free grub pretty quickly!

    New favorite BBQ restaurant, finally able to visit city bbq and have a great experince. Casual family friendly atmosphere. Has inside and outside seating and a drive -thu. Great variety of meats and plates. I got the 3 meat platter with turkey, brisket and chicken and two sides baked beans, fried okra and a corn bread. Everything was so delicious and meat are so juicy and tender and flavorful. Great variety of bbq sauces to a Excellent customer service, staff is so welcoming and friendly. They else have a rewards program,when you first sign up you get a $5off your order.

    2 sampler with pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, and green beans
    Ash W.

    Unfortunately, I did not have a good meal here. I don't live nearby, but I'm in the area every couple of months. I will start off saying that all of the employees were friendly and helpful. It's my first time here, I got the pulled pork and brisket with Mac and cheese and green beans. I was excited, the place is busy and clean, great way to start. My food came out fairly quickly and grabbed it and sat down. I took two bites of the pulled pork and almost coughed b/c of how salty it was. Not just a little bit, but it was overpowering. So I just moved on yo the brisket. It was pretty good, but I was still tasting overwhelming salt from the pork. The Mac and cheese didn't have much cheese. The green beans were fine. When I got up to leave, a manager or someone who was checking on customers, asked if I needed a box. I politely declined and explained how salty it all was. He said it was just their seasoning. Then he offered to replace it with something, again, I declined. I was just tired and ready to leave at that point. The manager was very nice and concerned that I wasn't happy with it. Seeing everyone else enjoying everything in a very busy restaurant made me realize that either I just happened to get an overly seasoned part of pork, or I'm just getting more sensitive to salt after some medical stuff. Overall, I will probably try it again to be fair.

    Our first time to visit this place: Monty at the register was extremely detailed, helpful, and kind. He gave us recommendations and took his time to explain the menu. The restaurant is casual and very fun, with lively music playing thru the speakers The food? The ribs were extremely tender... even the thicker cuts, I was very surprised that they were so tender. The brisket was also a major highlight... slap either the regular, sweet, or tangy sauces on this and it's absolutely wonderful. I liked the potato salad also, but wasn't a huge fan of the cornbread (very nice texture, but the taste was a little awkward for me.) We will definitely be back with our girls though. This is a definite one to revisit!! Ps... we're about to do the chocolate cake for dessert. If it's even half as good as it looks, that'll be another highlight :)

    I've literally been here enough times that they know me by name, so I don't know why I haven't left a review yet. I love City Barbecue so much, and for a place that looks like a regular fast food joint, they have some of the best barbecue I've ever had in Orlando! They recently brought out their pork tips, which are slow roasted and then like glazed with ambrosia or something, I don't know. But we should've ordered five orders of that! It was amazing. I've gone to other barbecue spots all over Orlando, but City Barbecue is the closest to what you would get if you were at someone's house and they had a BBQ master barbecuing in the backyard. Hands-down, the best place ever if you're one of those people who thinks 4 Rivers or even Sonny's barbecue is a good place, please come here and have your mind blown.

    Sampler!

    Omg! I was blown away by the customer service here everyone was so kind especially T & David! They helped me so much since it was me and my husband's first time getting BBQ here! The food was absolutely amazing! I will be coming back here ASAP! The best for me was the brisket, the baked beans, and the corn casserole!! Everything was 10/10!!!

    What I loved: hush puppies, baked beans, and Texas Pete Pepper Sauce (which weren't just refilled with vinegar-- it was actually fresh and new!). I appreciated: the variety of soda options, place was clean (but some of the utensils were not clean and had to pick it out), staff were friendly when encountered (placing order/picking up food), to-go containers were nice. Now the bbq: they were ok. Unfortunately, my ribs were dry but edible. I tasted the husby's brisket and pork, for me they lacked in flavor and also dry (in comparison to other bbq places). We made a plate of all the sauces, but none of them made me want more after trying (*shock, this is coming from a sauce girly; plus husby agreed too)-- this made me appreciate the availability of the Texas Pete Pepper Sauce even more. Would I choose to come back-- probably not, only because there are other bbq joints in the area that actually have me craving for their bbq. I wouldn't make my choice based on sides. If someone else really wanted to go here and invited me along, would I join? Sure. This was my first time trying City Bbq and maybe it was just an off day.

    Pitmaster Nachos
    Madison L.

    We came in for lunch and had a solid experience! You order at the counter and seat yourself, which I prefer at BBQ spots. Service was fast. I got the Dirty Bird sandwich with a side of fries. I asked for no bacon, but got my order with bacon on top. I didn't mind because it's just a preference for me and I could take it off, but for people with dietary restrictions that would be problematic. The portion size is good and I loved the flavor. I wish the chicken itself was a bit more moist, but the flavor and construction of the sandwich was great. The fries were fresh. I also loved the pitmaster nachos and fried pickles. My coworkers loved their greens, okra, and brisket. All the sauces were solid. The atmosphere was nice, but loud. I wish they used pagers instead of shouting your name. If you don't mind it though, the energy is nice. Overall, this is a good barbecue place with a fun menu.

    Stopped in for dinner, a fast food style bbq place but delicious. Sadly this meal started off a bit disappointing as they released a new pastrami but we're already sold out for the day. I ordered the Brisket sandwich instead and it was moist, but definitely could have been smokier in flavor. Not bad for a chain restaurant. We ordered 3-Cheese Baked Mac, Baked Beans with Brisket, and Coleslaw for the sides. The baked beans were good and just the right amount of sweet. The Mac and cheese was great as it was cheesy and not too dry as most of these places tend to be. The coleslaw was nothing special. You order at the counter and then pick up your order. Prices were very reasonable and a good cheaper option in the area for lunch or dinner.

I was unable to make a reservation for this night, but walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. There are two hostess stands at this location. The first stand is at the door next to the Valet Parking stand and is for confirmed reservation seating. You are directed to walk further down the hallway towards the bar area for another separate hostess stand for walk-ins. We were seated at a nice two-top table close to the brewery room. (Note: we noticed a separate table inside the brewery which appeared to accommodate a small group and most likely requires a reservation to be seated there.) Kelly was our server and she was efficient, fun and very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered all of our questions, including explaining the ingredients of some of our selections. Our drink selections consisted of the frozen Getaway Car (vodka, sour cherry and maraschino liqueur) and the Woe Is Me martini (herb-infused Grey Goose with a pickled cherry tomato). The tomato made this martini stand out! The presentation of both drinks was memorable as was the taste of each. For our appetizers, we shared the Gatherer Salad (a zesty combination of baby greens, avocado, pickled beets, radish, goat, cheese and walnut granola with a herb vinaigrette dressing-outstanding!) and the Mushroom and Gruyère Beignets, set off by the pecorino cheese and the truffle aioli sauce. We easily could've had a second round of the beignets, but decided to go ahead and order our second course. For the second course, we shared the Pan Seared Redfish with summer vegetables, and the Steak Frites. The fish was delicate, light and the fennel broth made this dish a winner. The Steak Frites consisted of rubbed prime flat iron steak, garlic aïoli and bordelaise sauce-SO GOOD! The truffle fries were plentiful and, when combined with the sauce, resulted in a perfect accompaniment to this meal. For the final course, we shared the Black Forest Cake and the Peaches & Cream (caramelized puff pastry with peach jam, and mascarpone custard). Both desserts were the explanation points of the evening. At the end of the night, we told Kelly that we loved the combination of the "naughty and nice" pairings for this magical dining experience. (For example, the beignets and the salad, plus the redfish and the steak, allow you to both eat healthy and eat decadent.) A final shout out to the General Manager, Scott, who gave me an excellent tour of the outside beer garden (not occupied due to the rain that evening) and the major beer brewery facility next to it. TV screens are available in the garden, and would be an excellent party place for watching football this Fall. I think I have my next visit to The Ravenous Pig planned in the coming weeks. Great service and great food made this easily a 5-star evening.

They even have a brewery!! It's incredible and a testament to how good they are. I was re-reading my old review and was impressed with how they've kept up with obtaining and working with local growers and butchers. I'm sure that's been a big reason behind their continued success. Our waiter Billy was excellent. We were a group of 5 having a girl's dinner. He was great at answering all our questions and recommending certain items to us. We all chose from the magical dinning menu, what a deal! We all ordered different things and they were all excellent. The gatherer salad and the beignets were our favorites for the appetizers. For the entrees; The Red fish was so delicious, but I also tried a piece of the steak frites and that was fantastic as well. The Steak was super tender. That house made pasta linguine with shrimp was incredible as well. The black forest cake dessert was really good. I like that it wasn't too sweet. I love that they continuously update their menu in accordance to what is seasonal. The only critique I have is that when we first arrived, they had trouble finding our reservation. I had to pull up the email confirmation (Which I did confirm) A confirmation that they had actually sent me the previous day. The hostess lady seemed annoyed and asked us to sit and wait while they got a table ready. We waited around 15 minutes. No big deal, but a little nerve wracking when she said: "I don't see your name here." It's a good thing I kept that email confirmation. I'm actually really looking forward to coming back and trying other things from their menu, as well as their house-brewed beer.

You order at the counter. Everyone we encountered was super friendly. We got help with the menu and some suggestions on options. I opted for the rib dog and side of mac and cheese. I also got a sweet tea. My husband got the brisket with fries and a (canned) Diet Coke. The rib dog was pretty impossible to pick up and eat, but was very tasty. The mac and cheese maybe top 3 I have ever had. The brisket my husband ordered was quite tasty, pretty smokey (not my fave, but he loved it). Meat was moist and tender. It was about $42 total before a tip for the two of us and we both had leftovers for another meal. This place is a little out of our way, but we would definitely stop in again if we were in the area. If I was really craving good mac and cheese might even make a special trip (being honest - I love bbq places for the sides. Its shameful but true.)

Today, though, I noticed them selling Japanese Wagyu as: Sake Infused Dry Aged A9 Kobe Strip. This is a very scammy way of selling a product. First, meat is graded broadly on three scales - USDA (choice, prime), BMS (beef marbling scale - common in Aus), and the Japanese grading scale. (A1-A5, with most high end steaks being A4 or the gold standard, A5). https://meatnbone.com/blogs/the-clever-cleaver/meat-beef-grading-system-understanding A9 doesn't exist. A BMS 9 could be an A5. But this is mislabeled. They have also used the term A11 in their instagram account. Maybe they are confusing BMS for A-scale, or maybe they are intentionally trying to make their product seem better than competitors. Furthermore, not all Japanese Wagyu is Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Japan. The export of this beef is highly regulated to only certain restaurants and purveyors, who will display a seal and certificate certifying the origin of the beef. It is rare, expensive, and most importantly, Bush Brothers (Local Butcher's wholesale purveyor) is not certified to sell, nor do they use in any way, the term Kobe Beef. So it is incredibly likely that this product is mislabeled. This isn't illegal (Kobe beef doesn't have a TM in the US), but it is disingenuous. https://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/certification/index.html https://instagram.com/bushbros Next, "sake infused"is incredibly confusing. Is it referring to the myth that Kobe cattle are massaged with sake? Is it referred to the use of koji (fermented cooked rice) which is often used as an aging accelerant? Or did they really take Japanese Wagyu and infuse (inject, soak?) with sake? And why on earth would you do that!? It would be like making sangria with a bottle of DRC. This product is likely a A5 strip loin (which Bush Bros. does carry) that has been aged. Market price would be somewhere around $175-185/lb. (An unaged cut would be around $150/lb.) When I asked for more information on the most expensive cut of meat in their shop, I was treated with disdain and a dismissive attitude. Neither member of the staff could answer my questions other than to say "It's the highest grade of Kobe beef." To charge $215 dollars for a grade that doesn't exist, for a steak that isn't from Kobe, with an aging method that seems dubious at best, is disingenuous and plays on a lack of consumer knowledge. If The Local Butcher themselves don't know the differences here, they shouldn't sell this product. If they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.

    Supporting local businesses should be a law, as this gourmet market chain known for meats, also…read moreoffering seafood, produce, groceries and prepared foods clearly has it all. While strolling the streets of Winter Park, we stopped in and looked at all the goods from meats to prepared foods. With a large selection of aged beef, it cannot be missed. There are two restaurants inside that are Swines and Sons as well as a poké bowl booth. There is also always an employee around to help. With that being said, customer service here is top notch, as they are super helpful with every question you could ever ask. Some renovation has been done, in other words, remodeling and having seating and more restaurant food brings everything together.

    Coming back from New Orleans is tough, especially when this foodie ate his fill of fried chicken…read moreand gumbo. But I had an urge to find some fried chicken that is lightly battered and this place hit the spot. Located just off of Park Avenue and Fairbanks is The Hen & Hog. Got a 6 piece fried chicken anf a few sides which consisted of mac and cheese, fries and a pickled slaw. Juicy freshly fried and ever so gently battered chicken that was crisp with every bite. Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

    My friend and I stopped in over a weekend for lunch. We were greeted by the friendliest guy who…read morecame up to the front who explained everything on the menus we saw upfront on the screens, about specials, and how to order at the counter. We took our time scanning through all the options and I settled upon the cuban sandwich and my friend had a burger. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The inside of the restaurant was cute. I really enjoyed the live stream of the cows grazing in the fields. The rustic vibe fit the brand great. It only took a short while to get our food. My cuban was great. The bread was nicely toasted. The meat was extremely juicy on the sandwich. My friend enjoyed the taste of her burger. We both thought the fries had nice crispiness. There were several families enjoying lunch inside while we were in here. I saw they had a brunch menu and think in my next visit I want to experience the chicken and waffles I keep hearing about.

    This place was great! Who would've thought to combine barbecue and donuts in one spot, but it…read moretotally works. We got the big sampler platter with brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and several sides, and everything was really good. Of course, we also had to sample the donuts, and they did not disappoint. Great barbecue, great donuts, and definitely a place we'd go back to! Please note I could see where seating may be an issue based on size and popularity. We went in an off time and it was very full, but we were seated immediately.

    We've been here before but haven't reviewed it so decided to go back to write a proper review…read more Space is a bit tight as it is on the smaller side, and parking is also limited due to this. We however were able to find a parking spot on a Thursday early evening. Was surprised to see that this place has table service; I think when we went a couple years ago it was ordering at the counter but I understand as they now have a well-earned Michelin designation. We ordered the Smoked Belly Banh Mi, pit sampler (brisket, pulled pork, pork belly), and a side of brussel sprouts and fries. All the meats were tender and flavorful, I enjoyed the pork belly the most while my husband enjoyed the brisket. We will definitely come back during their special Friday BBQ Ramen nights to try their ramen and also their brunch on weekends
