★★★★★ 5.0 Peter Tierney · Mar 2026

Easy and delicious. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy. Prices were very reasonable given the quality and quantity of food. I got the two meat plate. I choose pulled pork and ribs with side of a baked potato and Mac and cheese. All of it was so good. The rib meat fell right off the bone. They have several different BBQ sauces to choose from, regular, sweet, heat and 2 others I didn't try. I found the regular best for the baked potato and the heat best for the meat. I would absolutely come back here.

I came in around lunchtime, my first time here and I work in the area so I decided to give them a try. I really regret wasting almost $25 on this food. Young lady, working in the counter was extremely friendly and nice. Customer service was great. The person that gave me. My food was also very pleasant. I ordered the to meet two sides deal the waitress suggested the brisket. The brisket was buried thin very dry and tasted cold the sausage was extremely tough. My hush puppies also were cold. My green beans had zero flavor. Ribs were tough I’m not sure if it was because they had a nice amount of students in there or what, but I was not satisfied with my food. I was going to double back But due to how busy they got full of students, I decided just to deal with it

Great pork sandwich! Super tender pork with great flavor comes plain so you can add your flavor of sauce. Several house recipes offered. Great southern style sweet tea!

WOW. Best bbq and banana pudding we've had in ages and we've been all through the south on our travels and had damn good BBQ. We made our way back up to Madison, our home city and stopped in today. Best. Decision. Ever. Staff are super friendly. Food was amazing. Good sized portions. Everything was fresh and frankly...beyond expectations. Do not hesitate to come here. It's worth it. Wish I'd taken a Pic of the food but we devoured it. Loved the atmosphere and music, too. So stop by City BBQ! We will hit it up again on the way back out the state. It's truly worth it.

Craving BBQ and came here with my kiddo to check it out and had a very good meal. I always judge a place by its brisket and ribs, so I ended up getting the two meat platter (pulled pork & brisket - up charge of $3) along with three rib bones. I also got an extra side, so we ended up with mac & cheese, baked beans with brisket, and hush puppies. Meats were overall very good; pulled pork looked dry but was actually quite tender, ribs were definitely fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful, but the brisket was a bit of a miss. I received about 5-6 thin slices with my order and half of the slices were dry. The other half was juicy, but if you’re going to charge a premium to add on brisket to your meat sampler platter then you better make sure that item is executed consistently. The sides were
