“ I love this place! They are like family . They know my order and can even suggest new menu items that I might want to try based on what my likes are. This location is kinda like going to the cheers bar. It’s a place where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came, highly recommended by David and Carmen Allen. ”
“ This place does not disappoint. However I do miss their old fries.. don’t like the new ones. They send me good offers though and I love the ribs and pulled pork sandwich.i love this place so much I tried to get a part time job there. ”
“ the best BBQ in the Columbus area, their customer service is amazing and the food is just out of this world. Thank you City BBQ ”
“ If you're looking for an authentic American bar in town, Gahanna's is a textbook restaurant! From the crispy fried chicken with its secret sauce to the hearty side dish platters that are a must at every table, every bite hits the “comfort food” spot. At 20 per person, the restaurant manages to combine portion size with quality - the 24 Neil's Set Meal is big enough for two. The team led by veteran Agar is the highlight, with Kesha and Monty serving like old friends, and even the placement of the sauce bottles showing the tacit understanding of a decade of experience. The cornbread is a little dry, but in the air of wall-to-wall photos of regulars and blues music, this regret instantly melts away as part of the rugged American flavor! ”
“ Cozy, casual atmosphere with great great food. This was the second year that we’ve decided to integrate City Barbeque into our thanksgiving festivities this year we chose nachos and tacos, pulled pork with chicken and all the fixings. ”
“ I shared my experience at this location because I visited on a Sunday afternoon after church with a senior citizen and all of the young men working there were exceptional in their customer service skills with us! It's not about the food this time, but the patience and kindness of every young man working that day had with this senior citizen who decided to stop in and buy dinner for her son who had been in a car accident recuperating at home. It spoke volumes about each of their character and City Barbeque should be proud of their staff! ”
“ Had a fantastic experience here with Barry at the counter. He was kind and explained the menu well. He even knew the artist on my shirt. The restaurant was clean, food was hot, fresh, and a good value. I much preferred the regular size sides with extra sides. The collards were perfect as well as the gluten-free french fries! My meat was not too fatty and the sausage was one of the best I’ve had! ”
“ We had a long day at the James Cancer Center for my testing and treatment , so I was unable to eat all day. when I left the James on Google Maps and it brought me to the city barbecue here. I will tell you what, this has to be one of the best places that I have ever eaten for the quality of the food for the amount of the food you get the atmosphere and the Comfort Within. you're going to average 20 per person but you will be well satisfied 20. that Neil in the picture there cost 24. ”
