Reviews for City Barbeque in Powell, OH
This has to be my favorite City BBQ location. The staff are largely friendly, if not exceptionally friendly. The food has been... fresh and well made every time I've come. The staff is pretty speedy, tho it can get pretty busy here. There's outside seating,covered and open, which is nice to enjoy in good weather. The parking lot is a good size and easy to get into and out of.Overall, I think this is a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner. Read more
Walked in and ordered two things. A pound of Brisket and a gallon of sweet tea. Took over 35 minutes to receive the two items... for takeout. The absurd wait time might have been worth it had the food been adequate. The brisket was about the worst thingI've ever allowed to cross my lips. The overwhelming majority of the "meat" was pure fat. I've had brisket more times than Icare to count and this was by far the FARTHEST thing from brisket. By any standards. It was so bad that we ended up throwing theentire "pound" of Brisket in the trash because it was inedible. My family and I have written off this location for good and willnever return. Either find a different location or go down to Ray Ray's down the street at Nocterra. Far better food out of afood truck than this place. Read more
I met the new (to me) manager Emily Smith. She took my order and arranged our sides with our sandwiches to save us a couple of... dollars, which was very thoughtful. She was very friendly and personable when I asked her when the sweet potato casserole willcome back. Emily made sure we had some extra sauce and called me by name twice, which I doesn't often happen at a business.We've been going to the Powell City BBQ since it opened about 20 years ago and have met many great managers. Emily is definitelya memorable one. The Powell City is in good hands with her!!! I hope to see her again when we visit next. Read more
We ordered a party pack to feed 16 with extra meat and sauce. The food was hot, and the delivery was on time. But our dozen... cornbread was missing and we only received 4 small single serve containers of sauce for 6 lb. of meat. The store said it wouldtake 45 minutes to deliver the missing items. I asked if they would add a few extra pieces of cornbread for our inconvenience.They said they could only offer a refund or extra rewards. I had a hungry crowd so we took the refund and luckily I had somesauce at home. Disappointed that they couldn?t accommodate a simple request. I won?t order here again. Read more
City BBQ went above and beyond and donated food so that the Olentangy HS band could have dinner last night at band camp.... Everything was hot and fresh- and delicious. Thank you so much for your generosity- City BBQ is the best! Read more
The food has always been good. We don't live in Ohio so, we only go to City BBQ when we are visiing family. It's a sure bet... that the family will choose City BBQ. The only thing I miss when there is a chopped beef sandwich. They apparently don't dochopped beef sandwiches in Ohio. I do love that they offer a choice of sauces, though! Read more
Very little communication when you go to pick up items. We got the soggiest food we've had in a while as items came out first... that likely should not have. The worst, soggiest fried pickles I have ever seen came with our order, as shown. Read more
Absolutely horrible. Ordered to take home meal, judges sampler, made for 2-3 peoppe and was told they ran out of chicken. Ok,... understand it was at 7pm, so we asked if we could double up the meat of something else since they were out of chicken. 1. Thegirl at register was extremely rude and didn't even know her own menu. 2. Said they would double up meat since they could notgive us the completed meal from the menu. Picture: that was what we got. Looks like we got about half of what we paidfor. Please, spend your hard earned money somewhere else. Not here where they obviously have 0 customer service or can't evengive you what you paid for. Read more
