City BBQ appears to be a popular spot so I decided to order online with curbside to go pickup .
The mobile app was easy to maneuver ended up indulging on 2 combo meals with one side each and one pulled pork sandwich with fries .
Arrived at City BBQ Matthews at 8:25 , waited outside at one of the curb side pickup spots until about 8:35 . No one came out , they appeared busy so I called and stated no one has come out to bring us our order yet . The young lady that came out to greet us told us they didn't have receipt of our order . 3-2-1 , 1-2-3 ... this is my on the go method of calming down before I spit out Hangry remarks . I showed the employee our email receipt . After waiting 10 more minutes she comes back out with a large bag , apologizing and offering a few extra treats for the inconvenience. (unfortunately I can't comment on them bc I'm not eating yummy chocolate cake or banana pudding right now)
Now, the food ... the reason behind my 3star rating
BRISKET : plenty in our servings but a lil too dry for my liking . I don't want to have to slather it with bbq sauce
SAUSAGE: it was good , I actually ate this more than the brisket , but nothing I'm salivating to come back for
PULLED CHICKEN : Dry ... that's all
PULLED PORK : Dry... I'm sure paired with the coleslaw it would be a little better but I'm more of a Carolina bbq kinda gal with mayo inspired slaw and a vinegar base bbq pork... sooooo you get my drift .
COLLARDS: The winner of this entire dinner. Yummy to my southern girl tummy .
Overall, I'm sure City BBQ will continue to receive lots of traffic , the food isn't bad , the service was really nice, but it's just not my cup of tea for bbq.
