I’d give this place more stars if I could. There’s nothing I don’t like about it, from the rustic décor with long tables for large parties to the delicious food and fantastic staff. Service was excellent! They actually appear to enjoy their jobs, and keep busy helping customers with a smile and cleaning and tidying up. But, the food! It makes you feel like you’re having an indoor picnic. Options include ¼ or ½ chicken, pulled pork, ribs, etc. Very generous side portions. The fries with skins rock! So do the baked beans which have a rich flavor. There are paper towels at the tables along with ketchup and assorted bbq sauces. There is an area where you can get condiments and take home boxes without having to ask the server. Next to that are gallons of lemonade, iced tea, and pop selections. For all that you’re getting, the prices are reasonable.

First time at this restaurant. The City Sampler is delicious, and the service quick and with a smile. I’ll defiantly come by next time I am in town.

Stopped in to place a to-go order and was greeted by friendly staff and they were helpful. I ordered the sampler that way we could try a little of everything. Better then I thought it was going to be. Not a big BBQ person but my husband and son will be back. Thought it was a little on the high side.

I’m giving this place a 2 because the last time my family went there, we experienced moldy bread that some of us halfway consumed before we realized it. The only reason why I give it an extra star is because the server was so kind and apologized for the inconvenience. Then he gave us a few free desserts which was very nice of him. Although the service was excellent and attentive, the food is a major factor to consider. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not do it for us to ever go back again.

I have eaten at this location one time before and both times ordered the same thing. Their chicken is excellent. This time I did the ½ chicken plate with corn pudding and baked beans. First the chicken. It was a huge half of a bird that looked beautiful on the plate. It was very juicy and flavorful. In other words perfect. The baked beans were great and the corn pudding is something I could eat every day. With the two pieces of toasted bread that came with it the meal was a belly buster. City BBQ has as good of chicken as anywhere that I have eaten. I look forward to my trips to Ohio to east this dish. In my opinion, this is as good as it gets. It’s a little pricey but well worth it.

Most of the food was worth eating. We had the pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich, cole slaw, corn bread and hush puppies. The Cornbread was dry and had a piece of black plastic coating stuck to the top of it. Hush puppies were burnt and cooked in old oil. Floors had trash on them, water sitting under pop machine, bugs flying near our food and tea dispensers. Restroom filthy. Tables and bottles of bbq grossly dirty. The place had just a few people in there and it was close to 5 pm. Won’t go back because of the lack of cleanliness..

Great food. Pretty nice staff. Decent priced. Love their bbq sauces. Favorite side is the corn cake type thing… yum! Definitely worth eating. It’s all BBQ type meats but they don’t put bbq sauce on it so you can decide if you want bbq sauce and what kind.

Technically, I didn’t eat at the restaurant. I was attending an Ohio Child Conservation League conference in Findlay and they had food delivered. I am not a big bbq beef or pork fan, I make it occasionally for my husband from leftover roasts. But at the conference I had the beef and added just the original bbq sauce and I must say, it was delicious! I also loved their green beans with bacon. Sometime when I’m in Findlay again, I will definitely have to check out the restaurant :)

I would agree with Jon’s assessment of the barbecue not being as good as something you’d find in the South. In fact, the Eastern Carolinian sauce was headed in the right direction, but not really correct. Sorry guys, drink Coke, play again. The big question is: can you have a decent meal there? I would say yes. It’s not the top pick of a barbecue connoisseur, but you’ll more than likely enjoy your meal and won’t ask for a refund. The service was friendly, and that does count. Overall, it’s a good place to put into the rotation for lunch.

I’ve had City BBQ several times. Usually for free(at work), and it’s either been the pulled pork or ribs. They are both fine in the own right, but far from the best I’ve ever had. Frankly, I don’t expect the BBQ to match the quality of the south, so by that standard, it’s pretty good. Everything changed though when I tried the beef brisket. Holy cow, it was amazing. I topped it of with brush fire sauce and it was perfect. I’ll never have anything else, unless it’s free at work. The sides were average, mac ‘n cheese was as expected, thick and cheesy, but nothing you haven’t had before and the corn bread was a nice finish. Bottom line… get the brisket! Hopefully the Columbus locations can match the expectation set forth by the Findlay location.
