City Barbeque

"I was visiting Raleigh from Maryland this week and my daughters took me to this wonderful barbecue restaurant twice in one week. We loved the chicken wings, so delicious. My daughters ordered the pork ribs and the pulled pork. They enjoyed the ribs. The side dishes were delicious. We had the mac and cheese, coleslaw, hush puppies, the green beans, the baked beans, fries, hush puppies, and fried okra. All the sides were authentic country style.The friendliness of the owner and the staff was the icing on the cake. When we left, the owner asked what we loved most so he gifted us a bag with more chicken wings, coleslaw, and banana pudding, since I told him they were my favorite.I have never been to a restaurant where the owner sends an entire free meal home with us. His hospitality made me want to return to Raleigh for mmore barbecue!"

"Best BBQ in the Capitol city of a dedicated BBQ state?-how ironic. This national chain that started in Ohio offers great Q at a good value. An oddity of getting great BBQ in Raleigh is how hard it is to find. Lots of mediocre stuff. We avoided this place for a long time because of origins and the fact that it is a chain. Now it's our go to spot for Q. Great smoky flavor. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Hand cut fries, tender and thin batter around fried okra. Highly recommended."

"Not what we expected regarding flavor, customer attentiveness nor uniqueness. Mac&Cheese as simple as beginners class, sausage was lacking flavor as well as soggy Texas toast with just a dash of cole slaw, I must say the baked beans were truly on the level! We'll just have to compare with Prime BBQ and see where is that true Texas smoke!"

"This brisket place is an absolute gem! Definitely one of the best in Raleigh. The brisket is incredibly tender, bursting with smoky flavor, and the sides are a perfect complement. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance make it a top-notch dining experience. A must-visit for barbecue lovers!"
