Best BBQ in Town! – Oh..my God! After one bite of their pulled chicken sandwich you will become a regular. I had takeout and I was waited on immediately and order was up quick. Also, the sweet potatoes are to die for.

Best BBQ in Columbus for sure – Great portions, great selection, and their BBQ sauce is the best I've ever had. Take the family and enjoy getting messy.

Not so good – I dunno, maybe it is because I was reared in Texas where BBQ is close to a religion, but, there was nothing here that resembled good BBQ. The meat was more roasted than smoked, the sauce was only so-so and the sides tasted like bad cafeteria food. The so called Texas Sheet cake was anything but. It was not so terrible that I would not stop in for a sandwich if I were in area, but not good enough to drive even a block for.

Do not be mislead - Bad BBQ! – The City BBQ is not great and cannot compare to real BBQ joints in places like Kansas City, Memphis and down east in Kinston, NC. Their chicken is dry, their brisket tough and forget about their Carolina style pulled pork - they've never been to NC.

Sloppy, crowded and absolutely delicious. – 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 ... read more

Kids love it! – After treating our kids to City Barbeque they now ask for it on a regular basis! They especially like the smoked sausage sandwich with the baked beans and mac and cheese. Corn bread is another favorite of theirs. Whether we are dining in, or I pick up dinner on the way home from work, City Barbeque is definitely a hit. I recommend it to all my friends.

It Really is That Good – After reading all the reviews before trying this place I was looking forward to it. I was not disappointed. The pulled pork sandwich practically melts in your mouth and the sauce is just about perfect. I was really not a fan of the french fries though, they were kind of soggy. I would recommend getting the macaroni or potato salad instead. Overall though, this was a great meal that I can't wait to have again.

Beans and more – We used their sides for a partee! The baked beans were terrific! By the gallon, they are a real bargain; in smaller quantities, a lttile pricey. Slaw was OK.

The Best! – City BBQ is the best in town, if not one of the nation. The food and prices are great and the service is good as well. I would defintely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good BBQ
