The Scene Located on strip-mall studded Henderson Road, City Barbeque isn't all that outstanding, looks-wise: Two glass walls afford a view of the parking lot, tables and chairs are standard, and only one wall is particularly decorated. But folks don't come here for the aesthetics--it's all about the barbecue, and that's reason enough. The Food Meats are prepared in three big black smokers just beyond the restaurant. The process takes 18 hours, resulting in pink and flavorful ribs and other meats. The barbecue sauce is outstanding--mild, sweet and tasty without being full of vinegar. (The…

Not the best
by leelee1317 at Citysearch
I am a huge fan of BBQ, have tried several different BBQ joints in many different states and areas, from chains to hometown joints. Frankly, City BBQ isn't that great. Pulled pork sandwich was a good size portion for the money, but it wasn't tender. Too done. The sides were so-so, definitely not worth the price. I tried the sweet sauce, and it wasn't great. I've had a way better signature sauce at other places. I hate to critique sauces on websites like these, and the other sauces may be great, maybe I tried the wrong one....but the sweet sauce is too much like a store-bought want to be....

Love the new Westerville Store
by kkls at Citysearch
Local is great; pricing is good to high......sides really add cost and are single portion size. Enjoyed the peach cobbler too although it's more bread & less peaches....alittle different than the southern style I was raised on.
We cannot get enought of the BBQ Sandwiches; scrumptious!
Love the patio although it's right on Route 3 with lots of traffic.
Staff is kind and effecient....don't let the lines scare you, they move quickly and carry out business is brisk.
Friends who have used them for catering provide rave reviews for sure!
- Pros: Incredible BBQ Sandwiches
- Cons: Ribs were very crispy & a little too much fat for me

Best BBQ in town
by reillyef at Citysearch
This is the best quality bbq in town! It's cheap, tastey, the portions are large, and it's your choice if you smother it in their sauce. We also really enjoy their email coupons- they send them out for birthdays and anniversaries.
- Pros: rustic, focus on bbq, real smoked meat, cost, several locations
- Cons: none!

Excellent BBQ
by iamhalloween at Citysearch
This place is great! I love the atmosphere, food, value. All of it! My wife and I ate here when it opened, missed it when we moved away, and are excited to be back and living close to this great place! She always goes for the Briskit, which is quite tender. I'm a pulled pork man myself, and it is so moist and delicious. The sides are great too, try the greens! (pork in them, yum!) My sister lives in Texas and I went there to visit her recently. She took me to a BBQ place there, and let me tell you, I can't wait to get her up here to try City BBQ and put the place down there to shame!
You get so much food, you will probably have leftovers. On that note, I'm off to my fridge to devour my wife's sandwich from last night!
- Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere

One of my favorites!
by downcydeguy at Citysearch
My g/f and I visited this place pretty often for a while. She introduced me to corn pudding and I was instantly hooked! The pulled pork and chicken are both excellent! And what better than a good 'ol southern style sweet tea to wash it all down! Highly recommended!
