I’m not a fan of brisket but I wanted to try it. It was amazing and if I wanted to eat it again it would ONLY be from City. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance was amazing. It was people friendly and welcoming. My food was hot and the plating was even better than I thought it would be. This was my first time going and I’d return again.

Delicious meal! Stopped for lunch and my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our selection. Highly recommend the banana pudding. It is one of the best I have had! Hush puppies were yummy, too!
It was a little pricey for lunch, but we enjoyed our food and ate outside on the patio.

Ordered Cowbell sandwich and it was delicious, highly recommend this. Collard greens had a little too much vinegar in it for my taste. But not bad at all.Service was very fast and atmosphere was typical for a BBQ restaurant. Men’s bathroom was clean also.

Stopped in while I was out running errands on Saturday and I was quite surprised! The bbq was really really good and fresh . I got baked beans and Mac cheese, and both were good. I was most impressed with the staff, it’s hard to find quality help. They were friendly and the restaurant was inviting and clean, I’ll be back!

City has the best beans around, with brisket in them. The turkey is respectable, the the brisket is reliably excellent. I hear the ribs are good too. I also get Mac ‘n Cheese, hush puppies, banana pudding, and the wonderful peach cobbler laced with a subtle spice- mace?

Good experience overall. The online ordering and Self serve station was good. Cleanliness could have been little more, as we had to clean the table by ourselves to seat the kids. Food items are slightly pricier than for the taste and quantity.

I visited City BBQ on my way back home to Burlington. LaLinda offered me a sample of the brisket which was PHENOMENAL and she told me about their online survey! Service was fantastic, restaurant was clean and well maintained! Loved it! Fantastic first visit! Will definitely return soon!!

We ordered takeout for a family holiday dinner and WOW.....the food was amazing. The brisket was probably the best I've ever had. I like brisket when it is a little more done so its a little drier and the fat has been more rendered and this was perfect. Then the apple cobbler was really good. Even the coleslaw was top notch.

Food was fast and hot. They do a very good job on flavor and offer a good selection of different sauces. However cleanliness needs some work, specifically the self service drink and condiments station was sticky and the bathroom was horrible.

Everything was really great, we were 4 of us from work. The pulled pork, BBQ chicken, the brisket and ribs were off the charts. The others on the monster platter were great too.

They say don't go to a BBQ Joint that doesn't have a woodpile out back, but they're the exception to the rule. Very good for a chain, and they give most independents a run for their money. Meats are excellent and some of the best collards I've had in a while (mixed with their corn pudding.)

Each time I think I have seen the very best at this restaurant, the next time I come back, something tops that previous best.
Employees are kind & attentive, food is always good.
Never had anything I did not like on my plate.
It has always been good.
It is a bit if a ride from my place to City BBQ but I come as often as I can to eat there.
Thanks for having such a nice, clean place with friendly workers & talented cooks!
