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!

I wanted to try something new and was in the area, so I gave this restaurant a try. The Mac n cheese and fried okra photos drew me in. The wings were tasty. The ranch so yummy! I mixed the lemonade with the sweet tea (chef’s kiss). The okra could have been fried a little harder. Other than that, money well spent.

First time ever coming here. Flew to North Carolina from Pennsylvania for my best friend's wedding and he had nothing but awesome things to say about it...it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! From the moment we opened the door, the smells were absolutely mouth watering. The atmosphere was nice and laid back, ice cold delicious sodas in wooden bins as soon as you walk in and ready to be picked up to accompany your food, staff was very delightful and service oriented, quality of food, price and portions are more than reasonable/affordable, seating area is great for small and big groups as well as individuals/couples. We are here for 3 more days and believe me when I say that, we WILL DEFINITELY be back to dine before heading back home to PA. Do yourself a favor and fill your stomach and senses with the amazing food from this establishment! You won't regret it!

I ordered from UberEats. I got the 1 pound Chipotle BBQ which came with 2 sides, 4 hamburger buns, and cornbread. In the app, it also comes with 4 oz of sauce. For my sides, I ordered slaw and baked beans. It came with cornbread and 4 hamburger buns. I am constantly searching for a good peach cobbler so I ordered that too. That came with whipped cream and it served 2. The slaw and baked beans were good. The brisket in the beans, however, was tough. As was the BBQ. No sauce was included. The BBQ could have been saved had it come with that container of sauce. The peach cobbler - didn't eat it. I'm not a huge fan of biscuit type cobbler. That's what this was. I prefer pie crust type cobbler. But the type of crust wasn't the issue. The issue was the big blob of BURNED cobbler in the 1 pint container. See photo. I tasted it just to see if it would be *candied*. Nope. It was burned. It tasted burnt. It smelled burnt. Unfortunately, I'm a super taster so every part of the dish that the burned parts touched also tasted burned. And it wasn't on top. It was wedged in there. Wasted $6 plus tax and 15% tip. Overall, not pleased.

Got some brisket, collards, mac and cheese, etc. My usual, because this place has great food. Opened my bag - there was cornbread. I didn't order cornbread because I don't really like cornbread. I prefer rolls. Anyway, I got home and decided to give one a try. OMG That.Was.The.Best. No more rolls.
