| - As someone who eats barbecue fairly often, I was excited to hear that a City Barbeque would be opening in my area. I had never eaten at a City Barbeque prior to this, but I had heard stories of their legendary fare, so I had to check it out. After having eaten from this place twice now, once for free before they opened, and once more recently, I'd say they mostly live up to the expectations I had... mostly.
The first time we went for our free meal, they gave us each a bag with a pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese and a coupon for free sides next time. I thought the pulled pork was a little dry, but I may have not used enough sauce since I was eating as we went down the road. The Mac and cheese was pretty good. The pasta was cooked well, and it had just the right amount of creamy cheesiness I like in Mac and cheese. I liked the barbecue sauce they gave me quite a bit ( the original sauce, I assume) but not as much as the spicy sauce I tried on our next visit.
The next time we visited, I decided to get the pick two with sausage and pulled chicken. I also got a side of baked beans and hush puppies. When I first got my plate, I was a little Leery of the pulled chicken... it looked kind of like a mystery meat that would come out of a cafeteria at a small school. Despite the suspicious look, the taste was nothing short of great. When I ordered it, I was expecting what you get at any other barbecue restaurant which would be just some plane pulled chicken with maybe a little sauce. This seems like more of a casserole too me, but it's definitely the best pulled chicken casserole you'll ever eat! The sausage was about average based on other restaurants I've tried. I don't think they offered a spicy variation of the sausage, but I think a spicy sausage would really add to the overall flavor. I feel as if the current sausage is too heavily reliant on the sauce. I'd say the highlight of my meal was definitely the baked beans with brisket. It's not easy to find barbecue restaurants around here that make that kind of baked beans, and I wish more would. They were packed with flavor, and cooked perfectly with an amazing texture. The hush puppies were good, but about the same as you'll find at any other place like old Carolina.
I hope as they go on, they get a little more organized in the dining room. Many of the sauces were messy and empty. Other than that though, everything appeared generally clean. We'll definitely be returning here in the near future!
