Reviews for City Barbeque in Charlotte, NC
We stopped by around 5 after a long day of travel. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and we loved the variety of options... available. Pricing seemed really good considering the portions - no one in our party eas able to eat the entire plate regardlessof what was ordered. Pulled pork was long pieces rather than chopped structure of other places. It added a variety to thesandwich and makes their meal stand out when compared to other pulled pork sandwiches at other places. There's a variety ofsauces, and we enjoyed trying multiples and seeing what we liked. Chicken was more of a chopped consistency (ordered a plate,not a sandwich), and it had a white sauce on it. I'm not sure what it was, but it had a good flavor and it apparently prettystandard of BBQ in the area. Sides are wonderful. I'm talking cooked like grandmas at church did it back in the day, so go onand get the green beans, macaroni and cheese, collards, and banana pudding. While it may not be the healthiest option, it isthe kind that's the absolute best and more than work an extra lap in the run. Or not. I'll be wearing these caloriesproudly. Pro tip: If your party orders different sides, you'll get to try them all. Read more
I drive truck all over the east coast. When I say I've had BBQ everywhere, I mean it. When I say this was the best I've had... I... mean it! All the way down to the Texas toast. You will not be disappointed Read more
Leaving a two star because they brisket was so dry and fell apart. Was over smoked and over cooked. I try to visit any bbq... restaurant that is near my hotel when I travel, 300 days a year both in US and Canada. I?m from Tn and I also smoke my own meatso I?m well aware of what?s done right and not done right. No smoke ring although not a bad thing but not a good thing either.Smoke ring is just a chemical reaction when cooking but the smoke was overwhelmingly present. Meats were all over cooked ormaybe held in a higher temp warmer cause it to dry out. Mac was good, corn pudding was a little dry as well. Just wanted a goodmeal and thought I would have in this place. Was a steady line so I guess that?s good for the locals. Read more
Decent BBQ. Their sauce was amazing! Great Mac n cheese! Corn pudding was good. Lemonade is to die for! Great, fast, friendly... service. Read more
This location used to be amazing but these last couple times have been horrible. These ribs are so THIN, DRY and TOUGH. Barely... could eat any of it. For them to offer pretty much everything on the menu separately without actual combo options, I would thinkpaying $18 for half rack of ribs that don?t include any sides would be better then this. They used to be meaty and fall off thebone. I don?t know what has happened but I?m certainly not impressed anymore. Least the cornbread was good which only reasongiving 2 stars. Read more
I ordered 3 bones. I understand that it is a cut of a rib, but do you HAVE to give me one that someone has ALREADY started... eating??? That is really sad. At almost $3 a rib, I should get more than just someone else?s leftovers!! This is sad anddisgusting! (And no, I didn?t start eating it and then take a picture. This is what I was SERVED!) Read more
I ordered a full slab of ribs with a 3 side plate, which I chose collard greens with pork, green beans with bacon, and corn... pudding. My wife had the 1/2 slab of ribs a 3 side plate, which she chose mac n cheese, collards greens with pork, andcornbread. For dessert was peach cobbler. The ribs were good I always order mine dry, with the sauce on the side. They werecooked good and had a nice flavor and was tender with no over cooked hard spots, their original sauce to me was good but had toomuch smokey flavor. The strings beans were good, the corn pudding was good, I think it should be just a little sweeter. Thecollard greens were to hard and the pork was dry and had no flavor. The mac n cheese was really good. The cornbread was good.The peach cobbler was good. Customer service was good. This place is definitely worth another visit. I recommend it. Read more
Stopped by to get lunch, The guy that is at the register was rude no help for a first timer at City Barbecue. The place was easy... to find and is surrounded by many other options for lunch. All the food selections are alicart so everything is purchasedseparately Good way to make money but makes getting a plate with all the fixings costly. I got the Chipotle bbq sandwich andbaked beans and Mac and Cheese. The sandwich was on Texas toast and it was delicious to say the least. The beans were good buthad a gritty texture to them. The Mac and cheese was really good. I would say if you like BBQ this is one place you should stopby and try. They have many locations here in Charlotte! If you go tell them Brian Sent ya!
