| - Grand opening day is understandably chaotic. However, there were some definite hits and misses.
First up, the hits:
The brisket is melt in your mouth, fork tender. No knife needed for this treat. Great flavor that doesn't need sauce to detract from it!
The chicken is equally tender and flavorful. Definitely worth trying.
The ribs are fabulous. Again, melt in your mouth tender.
The cornbread would be a awesome compliment to a brisket chili when the weather cools off a bit more (hint! Hint!)
The banana pudding is a-ma-zing! Tastes homemade and perfectly sweetened by the fresh bananas and caramel.
Now for the misses...
The door to the patio is awkwardly placed. On a busy day who wants to squeeze back and forth through the line to get drink refills, condiments, etc. This could have been better thought out.
The texas toast was just okay. Toasted bread, no real flavor. Moving on...
The mac 'n cheese. What can I say, I'm biased when it comes to mac 'n cheese. The mac 'n cheese at Mac's Speed Shop is the gold standard by which all other mac 'n cheese is judged. Sadly City Barbecue's version is nothing to write home about. It's pasta and cheese sauce but that's about it.
Overall, we enjoyed our visit to City Barbecue and will probably come back. Next time we will try some other menu items like the sausage, turkey and some of the other side options. The banana pudding will definitely be part if that visit, too.
