This was my first time trying Korean BBQ, and overall it was a cool and fun experience, but the food was just okay to me. It's all-you-can-eat for about $32, which I thought was pretty affordable. We selected a number of meats to try, and I enjoyed the bulgogi and the beef short rib the most. I also got the cheese corn, which was okay -- it was literally just corn with a lot of melted cheese on top. The staff did a good job making sure to constantly check the grill temperature and change out the plates often, which I appreciated. We were also seated pretty quickly, and the restaurant is pretty huge, so it didn't feel crowded. I also think it's in a great location. My friend has had Korean BBQ before and mentioned it wasn't as good as other places she's been to, and I would agree. It wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was amazing.

So happy they are opening this new location in Kennesaw. We had the $32.99 AYCE, I think it's a great deal for the meat quality, even the beef tartare is unlimited. My personal favorite cut was the thin sliced beef short plate.

These wings are smoked and then fried before being tossed in the flavor of your choosing. They are huge and always perfected cooked. I absolutely love the atmosphere and old school feel of JDs. A small bar and massive dining hall with lots of fun art on the walls. The place always smells fantastic from the smoker too. Service is alway the best. All of the servers are super friendly and quick with taking orders and getting drinks. Aside from the wings we have tackled all the apps, sides, and some of the bbq. So far we have been impressed with just about everything. The hush puppies, fried jalapeno, and collard greens are among my favorites. Honestly one of my favorite spots! Definitely worth checking out.

I actually ended up getting there early at 4:45, but my order wasn't ready until 6:10--over an hour and a half after placing it and well past closing time. When I finally got home, I discovered the main part of our family meal--3 lbs of pulled pork--was missing. I called immediately, and the initial response was that they would "put a credit in the book," but since they were closed, nothing could be done until the next day. This was a meal meant to feed 12 people, so that wasn't acceptable. After pushing back, I was finally told I could come back and pick it up. When I arrived, instead of an apology, I was questioned about whether I checked the pint containers because the kitchen was "100% positive" the pork was in the order. I explained again that I went through every bag and container, yet I was met with more insistence that they were sure it had been packed. The apology I eventually received was half-hearted at best. Between the long wait, the missing main course, the inconvenience of driving back, and being made to feel like I was the one mistaken, this was extremely disappointing. We will not be returning

Thankfully it wasn't too busy and they were happy to push a couple of tables together in the add-on dining room. The staff worked together as a team to bring out the food quickly and they regularly checked in with us to clear empty plates and ensure we had everything we needed. I ordered the sampler and thought the ribs were the best. I also really like the Mac-n-cheese side dish and almost wished I'd order a second serving. Their version of coleslaw favors the vinegar while I'm more in the creamy sweet camp, but it was still nice. Their BBQ sauce has a noticeable heat, and they offer a selection of sauces to suit other tastes. The sausage is a mild variety with a mealy texture, and garnished with sautéed onions and bell peppers. The chicken, pulled pork, and brisket I would have preferred in a wetter style (they were NOT dry, just toward the dry side of the wet/dry scale) and the brisket was nicely marbled with a good crust. Plates were served with a thick slice of bread, pats of butter, and crunchy dill pickles slices.

Amazing brisket!!! I got the brisket platter, which comes with 2 sides, and my man got the bowl…read morewith meat & beans & fritos. The collards were good but the only thing that needs much work is the mac & cheese (very bland). They offer a great variety of sauces as well.

We typically get the same three meat plate that you see here and rarely swerve for any other choices. We like what we like. The chicken was the best tonight because it was the juiciest out of the three meats. The Brisket and pork were good too but slightly drier. Not a problem for my wife, but I like my brisket fatty and juicy. The flavors were there. For the sides we ALWAYS get the green beans. These are some of the best green beans I've had anywhere. Same with the cole slaw. Always excellent. The staff are always very friendly and the food comes out quickly! It's counter service and they call your name when it's ready. There was one young man who hustled and met one of the guests half way. Great service! The restaurant is clean and well maintained and stocked with a nice rustic look with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Plenty of space for large parties. Looks like they do a great catering menu as well and I wouldn't hesitate to feed a crowd with this delicious food. If you want consistency and quick service, you can't go wrong with City Barbeque. Oh and don't forget the banana pudding!! That was a nice ending and tonight we got it for free by leaving an honest review. That review got 5 Stars too! Love this place!

Now, I never write reviews, but this brisket was just so bad I had to warn other barbecue lovers not to let themselves down. The meat had no bark on most of the pieces, and also there was no smoke ring. Not sure if it was made in an oven or what. Overall it lacked that delicious salty smokey flavor that makes brisket so amazing. On top of that it was quite chewy and just an unpleasant texture overall. That said, the restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. I just hope they can improve their smoking technique to make the food worthwhile.

The outside of the building looks a little rundown and it kind of continued on the inside. I know it's supposed to look like a jail or prison on the inside, but everything just look kind of old.

As we got our drinks, we sampled some of the barbecue sauces that they have. There is a huge selection of all different types. We sat outside on the back porch, which was nice. The meal was pretty good. I enjoyed the barbecue the coleslaw is standard coleslaw. Nothing special . We did not get any desserts. I would go back again and try the pulled pork or the burnt ends.

There was trash left on tables, and the floors were noticeably sticky, which made the whole environment uncomfortable right away. One of the tables was also in very poor condition -- it was damaged to the point where it almost cut me and my friend. That's not just unpleasant, it's a safety issue that really needs to be addressed. The service made things even worse. The staff came off as rude and unorganized, and it didn't feel like there was any real effort to provide good customer service. Our order wasn't handled properly -- items were missing, and things were just thrown together without care. For example, we didn't get utensils organized properly, knives were just tossed into the bag, and my friend's gravy was completely forgotten. On top of that, the posted hours didn't seem accurate, which added to the confusion and frustration. As for the food, it was just as disappointing. The barbecue was dry and lacked flavor, and the mac & cheese was especially bad -- dry, clumpy, and clearly not fresh. It tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. Overall, between the dirty environment, safety concerns, rude and unorganized service, incorrect hours, and poor food quality, this was a very bad experience. I would not recommend this location and definitely won't be coming back.
