Visiting City Barbeque was not just a culinary journey for me – it was like walking into a bustling hive dedicated to producing some of the world's best BBQ. Their dogged dedication, zest for maintaining high standards, and the clear sight of a progressive mindset not only resonates within their restaurants across the US but also drives them toward winning some of the world's most notable BBQ competitions.
A whiff of the perfect cut of meat, detected the unique type of wood, and watch the flame sear the meat in precisely the right way. It's not every day that you encounter a restaurant that places such care into their craft.
You should definitely learn more about City Barbeque as their flavor-town journey expands across the country. Check them out at http://www.citybbq.com/.
As of yet, based on their fiery ambition and growth plan, you can find City Barbeque in any of the eight states like Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Alert your taste buds because they are cooking up a storm and widening their reach quickly in the BBQ industry.
On a side note, their focus on expanding locally means they are yet to venture into international waters. But considering the standards they maintain, I can bet that it won't be a long time before they do.
What sets City Barbeque apart?
The BBQ battlefield is vast, and to conquer the hearts (or rather, stomachs) of consumers, you need your unique flag. City Barbeque sits on a rapidly expanding territory, and it's not an accident. They've earned this through their:
- Established presence of 20 years, a timeline that attests their genius BBQ concept works.
- Their uncompromising commitment to producing competition-quality barbeque.
- Success in capturing the local flavor and offering a delightful city sampler
- An arduous process of smoking the meat over 18 hours, which builds anticipation and rewards patience with a rewarding feast.
Believe me when I say this - the triple threat "smokers" you see at every City Barbeque location are operational round the clock, dishing out some of the best barbeque in the US (and surely beyond)
So, is City Barbeque spicy?
Well, just like every other BBQ joint, it all falls back to your order and the type of sauce you prefer. Almost every other sauce at City Barbeque screams originality. All of them, starting from the Brush Fire sauce (which brings just the right amount of heat to your brisket without burning your mouth), the LOWCO (perfect for chicken, sausage, and so much more), up to Kansas City's smoky flavor with the right balance of sweet and sour, give you both spicy and non-spicy options.
Prepare your appetite for the BBQ that has clinched victory time and again at competitions. You have the 'Sample The City', a sampler that embodies its local flavor based on the location you're visiting. Going classic? Grab the familiar BBQ sandwich or go all out and buy your BBQ meat by the pound - a popular choice for families and get-togethers. Accompanying these are sides that elevate the meal and desserts that will make your mouth water. Suffice to say, every item on the menu rings the bell of homecooked meals.
They have one of the most extensive kids’ menus I've seen amongst BBQ joints. Your little ones can choose from several hearty choices. Each kid’s meal at City Barbeque comes with a choice of one side and a drink (with free refills!). All in all, a night out here would make every m ember of the family satisfied.
