City Barbeque

I deleted my first review, that was three stars because they deserve better! I went back a second time, I tried the food again and it was much much better. This time I didn't eat the chicken or chocolate cake. The pulled pork, ribs (recommended) and brisket were good and juicy 👍 The cole slaw and hush puppies were my favorite 😍

I first came across City BBQ in NC and fell in love. Here in Louisville, I had brisket and sausage with green beans and mac. Everything was amazing and I say that realizing I've become selective about my BBQ. The meats were juicy and hot with that wonderful smoky smell. They had great flavor without sauce (I always test that first) - the first bites were perfectly savory, smoky and juicy. This place makes world class BBQ! I tried three dipping sauces (I just touch the fork down - not baptizing it and overriding the authentic meat flavors): each had a distinct character, one with a mild heat, one with a sweeter tang, and the original. All three sauces had the thicker consistency I prefer and pleasant composition hinting of molasses, garlic, paprika, etc - I couldn't resist dipping the Texa

Had an appointment during my lunch break near the City BBQ on Hurstborne Lane and decided I wanted some brisket for lunch. I should preempt this by saying, I'm a huge BBQ snob, especially brisket. If someone trims too much fat off of it, I'm not eating that jerky. To my delight, this was some of the most tender and flavorful brisket I've had in my 42 years. I would definitely go back for lunch again based on the brisket! Good thing I live a few miles away😋

The food was fresh, the taste was delicious, and the presentation was great. Customer service was absolutely good and the food was ready in seconds. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Our boys just finished a 3-day conference where the food was “buns” (their words). When I scooped them from the event and asked whether they were hungry, “City BBQ” was their first choice. We all love it here! Happy & kind employees, fun music and atmosphere, and the food is always “chef’s kiss” incredible!! Don’t change a thing!
