Sara Flowers
City Barbeque is a nice spot to grab a quick bite when you are craving BBQ food. Decently priced for what we ordered. When the lady who took our order asked for a name… I told her Sara and even spelled it out for her… She still managed to add H to my name. Smh!!!! And I must say it was a little hard understanding her. Other than that it wasn’t a terrible experience. Check the place out for yourself.

Go if you are in the mood for quick BBQ. Pricing was decent as well. Do not get the cornbread, it was the most bland cornbread I have ever had in my life.

We stopped in for late lunch. My stepson ordered a pulled pork type sandwich and I had two sausages on Texas toast with fries covered in Bacon & cheese. All hot and tasty. The boy wolfed down the sandwich and told me it was the best he’d ever had. Good price and friendly service. Highly recommend. (Also ordered cake and brought that back home, too full)

Most first of all fire places. I think I come here at least 5 times a week and I never get old of it. The service is fantastic and the food is always fresh. Can’t say I have a complaint other than the sock em robots game is broken ;( fr tho amazing prices and great food. Avg I spend $15 for a sandwich and 2 sides. Can’t ever wrong.

Food was meh. Ribs not fall off the bone, they weren’t tough but just average. Pulled pork was sort of tender, coleslaw was okay but there wasn’t much tang. Barbecue sauces were average, tasted like store-bought stuff. All in all the food was edible but absolutely no way I would ever go back or recommend this place.

Delicious food, generous portions, fast service and lovely ambiance! They have all the condiments and sauces you need too. The family pack was so much food and my favorite part was the warm cornbread. We will definitely be back!

The food is bland. I mean no seasoning at all. I asked if they had rib tips and they laughed saying I must be new. Yall must be new to cooking that’s what it is. I got my collards and it had a piece of hair in it. Nobody wore hair nets. The customer service was decent though. The price decent probably because they don’t season the food.

Actually darn good BBQ. Meat was well cooked and tender. Sides decent too. The green beans were… Ok. The bourbon sauce was my favorite. Tacos were tasty, but portion was actually small. Banana pudding was very good, corn pudding was the best side.

We got served by three guys named Adam and a gentleman named Aiden right before closing time – they were kind, courteous and super helpful! Really appreciate the good food and fun banter. Great little place to pick up
