This is a wonderful BBQ place with a very casual atmosphere and friendly service. My favorite is the pulled pork but my husband always goes for the brisket. There are several delicious side dishes as well, including the gumbo and hush puppies. If you enjoy BBQ, this is a place you should make sure to visit.

Locally-owned, City Barbeque might be easy to miss, but they have the very best BBQ in town and very affordable. They do a lot of catering around Columbus, to.

some delicious bbq, very casual atmosphere, I have had better bbq in my lifetime in Memphis, and florida but the place is quick and convenient and the food is certainly better than some of the other Columbus bbq chains. if you need to get your bbq fix fast I think this is an acceptable choice.

You enter and are met with the aromatic barbecue smoke smell, then you place your order (very difficult to decide from the luscious options offered!), and you get your food. Fresh! Flavor-rich! They prepare the food exactly as we enjoy, but had never experienced anywhere commercially! For a fleeting moment, we thought we were "back home on the farm" decades... More

Unfortunately, it was just average. the pulled pork was bland, and the sauces were just OK. Their hand cut fries are good, as are their baked beans, but everything else we had was just average. The service was good and had no waiting. I'll have to try somewhere else next time.

This restaurant is consistent and excellent . On football Saturadays, if you don't call ahead for an order, you will have a LONG wait for food. Ribs and pulled pork are my favorites as well as their baked beans. Several locations throughput the city and the county.

So I am from the South and have lived out West a number of years. That being said I have tried a few BBQ plages when the craving arose but I have typically been disappointed. I tried City BBQ on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the pulled pork, liked the brisket and the ribs were... More

Excellent food, easy atmosphere to navigate with children. They have a pleasant outdoor patio area that adjoins the ice cream shop next door which is great fun. I recommend the Smoked Sausage and pulled pork in particular. Not a huge fan personally of the corn pudding, but it seems like everyone else loves it.
