City Barbeque

Always wanted to try their barbecue ribs... yummy 😋. The last time when I went with my friends, I only tried the BBQ chicken. Their sides are so good... we had fried Okra and Mac&Cheese. We also tried their triple chocolate cake... the best chocolate cake I ever tasted!!! Very helpful service and people are so nice. We sat outdoors and was checked on a few times!!

This place was overall mediocre. Not bad, just acceptable. The brisket was really good. But other than that everything was just okay. We got the collared greens and corn bread both were just okay. (Not worth an upcharge) Very disappointed with their original barbecue sauce. In my opinion the suace makes the restaurant and I have had better sauce out of a bottle. We will probably go somewhere else for barbecue next time. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick though so that is a plus.

My first visit, service was quick, and the staff was very helpful in helping pick a sampler to try several items. We chose the Judges Sampler, and it was a perfect pick. Pulled pork, brisket, chicken (we chose dark meat), and ribs. This came with corn bread and 2 sides, we chose mac and cheese and baked beans, and also upgraded to pints (really unneeded, as the amount of meat was plenty). The food was amazing, even the brisket was on point. I will certainly be back next time I'm in the area.

Great NC BBQ experience! Flew in from IL and wanted to sample some local BBQ. City BBQ delivered. Was excited to try the More Cowbell (brisket, cheese, grilled onions, horseradish mayo sauce, and Texas toast). It was good but a little underwhelming. Oddly enough, the 1/4 chicken was utterly fantastic!! The skin was cooked to perfection. Also, the hush puppies were some of the best I've had in a looooong time. And check out the wet naps...look how large they are!

Yes, tasty, but *BEWARE DELIVERY* I don’t know if this order was poorly packaged because it was ordered through Uber Eats, but; there was BBQ sauce spilled all over the bag because it wasn’t sealed well, Hot chicken sandwich looked like it was put together with no care, they have no containers for sandwiches and hush puppies, so they were all crushed. Poor delivery quality control standards, fries were cold and delivery address is a 10 minute drive away.

The call center was really nice and good at up-selling items... I was really excited about my order. The wait time was reasonable, and they are in a great location. All I can say is, the food was not on par with the service. I was very disappointed...and this was my first time at this restaurant. The brisket was dry, the pulled pork lacked flavor, and the ribs were also bland (although they did fall off the bone)... almost tasted like they were boiled and then slathered in sauce. Really unfortunate, as this place is close to my house...oh well. They were really busy, but I don't think I will be going back.

UPDATED REVIEW A credit to the City BBQ for reaching out to try and rectify the issues from last time I was here. I am grateful for that because I don't know many places that would see a negative review like mine and try to fix things. I have added updated photos as well. Photos 1-4 are from original review, 5-8 are new. This time it was just my husband and I, and we ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, Smoked Sausage in Texas Toast, hush puppies, cornbread, drinks and the cake dessert. I can say this eating experience was so much better! The chicken sandwich was really good, the right level of spicy for my husband (too spicy for me!). My sausage was AWESOME; it had pepper flakes throughout, the wrap had a good snap, and just WOW what a delicious flavor. Probably one of the best sausages I have ever had. Our hushpuppies looked like they were going to be burnt again but I was pleasantly surprised to eat them and realize they weren't burnt at all. The cornbread was way better too. The cake is good. Not great, not bad, just good. It's a rather large slice too so I was happy with that. This time around cost $15 a person. The biggest compliment I can give: I went from never wanting to come here again to I will be coming back for more! ------------------ ORIGINAL REVIEW: 2 star ------------------ Unfortunately, we didn't really enjoy City BBQ in Cary @citybbq 😢 I never like leaving a bad review but I have to be honest and fair. We went there with a larger group. The orders were messed up, it wasn't even super busy but the staff acted like it was the busiest night of their lives, and the food was lackluster, slapped together, and the meat was rather dry. Cost: $10-$12 each Kid-friendly: yes We had a missing item or wrong item in each meal someone ordered. The crew was able to quickly replace items but the replacements weren't good. I ordered the Smoked Turkey Sandwich, which even though it is directly written that way on the menu, my cashier had no idea what I was talking about. It is quite literally just smoked turkey slices on an untoated bun. There was a good start to flavor in the turkey but the meat was dry, and with nothing else on it, I wasn't even sure it was considered a sandwich. A high price of $8 for this meal. Jason's More Cowbell is what my turkey sandwich should have been. It had cheese and veggies and sauce. But I still wouldn't call it good. It was roughly layered up on something I would NOT call Texas Toast. The girls chicken strips looked good, and they didn't seem coated in deep-fry mix, which was nice. And they both are then with gusto! All the sides were pretty bad. The fries were limp, the hush puppies burnt, and the corn bread very crumbly and dry. Overall... Price per meal was a little lower than comparable places, but in this case the low price brought low quality. An ok place to bring the kids, but we won't be coming back.
