    Chicken parmigiana sandwich and tomato basil  soup
    Diane W.

    Update from last reviews: got a personal message from the owner, wanting to make things right. We are traveling and won't be back for several months, but this is excellent management and wanting to improve. Looking forward to another great experience upon our return.

    What a cute place! The service was great, when we went it was a great day to sit outside. The food was excellent. 10/10 recommend!

    Gramma's breakfast
    Diane D.

    My sister and I enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the Washington Square Cafe patio today. It was a delightful experience; the place was jam packed with locals. We were immediately seated and both ordered the Gramma's breakfast. Two eggs, bacon or sausage, biscuits and sausage gravy and home fries. The potatoes were especially delicious, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Sausage gravy was very tasty and filling. Couldn't have asked for a better start to the morning.

    Stopped in for lunch at Washington Square, and we were blown away! From the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated in their cozy outdoor tent area, which was so inviting and comfortable. The service was nothing short of amazing--friendly, attentive, and quick. Speaking of quick, the food came out so fast we could hardly keep up! The menu is incredible, with so many delicious options it was hard to decide. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. We're already planning our next visit to try more of their great dishes! Highly recommend this spot if you're in Burlington.

    Great lunch/brunch place with cozy seating and kind service! My favorite place to stop when visiting Florence/Burlington area. They have TVs and heaters and the coffee never stops coming!

    What a fun spot to get bloody Marys and breakfast on a Saturday morning. So glad we stopped by. Got to sit outside and enjoy he beautiful spring weather on Mother's Day weekend. I started with a spicy Bloody Mary and since I'm vegan I had the fresh fruit bowl, sliced tomatoes and unbuttered toast. It was delicious and filling. Service was quick and efficient. I would recommend and come back again.

    I'm up in Florence for work and my group decided to try Smokin' This and That for lunch. The…read morereviews were solid but when we went on a Tuesday, we were a bit concerned because there was nobody there... Peak lunch hour. So either it's just not popular for lunch or it was just an off day. Our group ordered and we were relieved as 4 more patrons walked in... But even during our stay, no more people came in. Well... Our group ate our words and stuffed our faces with some really good barbecue. We all mostly got sandwiches but these sandwiches were huge honking sandwiches. I think our waitress said it was half a pound. I ordered the brisket sandwich and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese was creamy and warm. I was hoping for a sharper bite of cheese flavor but it was still good nonetheless. The brisket sandwich was really really good. It wasn't sliced brisket but was more "pulled" consistency, like pulled pork. It was moist and tender (not dry at all). The sauce was perfectly sweet and complimented the smoky, rich brisket. My colleagues couldn't finish theirs but one ordered the chicken sandwich and another a pork. All of them were pulled consistency and had excellent flavor of their respective meat (chicken and pork) but I preferred the brisket. Do yourself a favor if your craving barbecue and come to Smokin' This and That!

    My family was excited to try a new family owned BBQ spot. We left extremely disappointed. We found…read morethe overall experience below average, we won't return. Overall atmosphere is a bit over the top. Pros: The ribs were meaty, the pork sandwich was piled high. Cons: The coleslaw was mushy and tasteless, the Mac and cheese was inedible, 2 different beers we tried were flat, we did not like the BBQ sauce.

    We visited for some Kentucky BBQ. Here's what we found. Good selection and reasonable prices for…read moretraditional bbq meats. The pulled pork was better than the brisket IMO. For me the brisket was too well cooked and left dry. The sides were all delicious to include the collards, hushpuppies and potato salad. The sweet tea was spot on for southern flair as were the sauces. Being from NC originally I am particularly fond of a vinegar based sauce and City BBQ delivered. They also had a spicy sweet sauce that was more spicy than usual and for me that was great. So I would indeed recommend city bbq and glad we stopped in while visiting The Creation Museum and Ark coming out from California, where the taxes are high, the weather isn't as good as they say, the food may be better for you, but you only live once,... and yes it's still the land of fruits and nuts and not the type you eat! Ha ... who am I kidding I gotta get back to the south where the food is delicious, the people are friendly and the women are far more attractive.

    I hadn't been to a City Barbecue in quite some time. It was just as I remembered with a few menu…read morechanges. They have really good iced tea which I like to do 1/4 sweet and 3/4 unsweet. The hush puppies and corn pudding are probably my favorite sides. And you can't go wrong with the brisket. Whether you have a big appetite or just want a little bit of something, they've got you covered. Don't forget to try the yummy barbecue sauces. And if you aren't too full, they have a wonderful peach cobbler most of the year, but right now they have a pretty amazing apple cobbler. Definitely a laid-back family friendly atmosphere. The fact that they serve real butter is a major plus! And if you can't decide on just one meat, you can always choose a combination of things depending on which meal you go with.
