City Barbeque

Visited here on a Saturday evening. Every time I walk into a BBQ spot, the smoky air elevates my tastebuds. I have been to Austin, Houston and Dallas, Texas. The flavor is spot on comparable to traditional Texas-style barbecue. My entree of choice was a full 1 pound of pulled pork, sides of mac and cheese, and hush puppies. The sides were good and not too salty, which is preferred since I want the meat to shine on savoriness. Fork-playing the pork, it revealed a moist and tender texture, and upon tasting the delectable meat, I was in slow-cooked heaven. It had an excellent amount of charred outer and inner portions. Was a treat to get some fixing on this meat. Will return soon.

Got the brisket sandwich that has provolone and peppers and horseradish sauce on it. I recommend getting just the brisket sandwich the first time you go, so you can really appreciate how incredible the brisket is on its own. Better than anything I've had in Texas, Tennessee, and the entire East Coast! Their sammich with the added cheese/peppers/sauce is a real treat for a second visit. It adds some really nice elements to your sammichy experience. The bread they use is also really really good. Soft, doesn't fall apart even if you get takeout, but doesn't make you feel like your sammich is half bread. The slaw is also really good. Really mild with the right balance of sweet and bitter. Mac n cheese is pretty solid, though I prefer my fancy restaurant Mac to have some kinda crunchy breadcrumb element or some bacon.. that's just my preference though. Addicted to the brisket, and I don't need any other reasons than that to come back over and over again.. insanely tasty. No pictures for this review cuz the food is in my belly.

City Barbecue is just about one of the safest barbecue places you can go in terms of getting exactly what you came from. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and it always delivers on the craving. The only issue with this locations atmosphere was that the restaurant was awfully cold inside, and every single patron was wearing a coat while eating. I think this was due to the ongoing renovations, but I had also never been to this location in the winter before. I guess I will have to go again later this winter to see if it’s any better… darn!

Wonderful experience on Veterans Day 2023. The crew was full of life and so grateful to have a line of Veterans out the front door. They stayed in high gear and kept the food coming in very short order. The food was so tasty and plentiful. The inside and outside smelled of the wonderful smoke that was cooking and flavoring the meats.
