"Central City endures as one of New Orleans’s best barbecue joints, thanks partly to a trio of custom-built cookers for smoking meats and an eye for pushing boundaries. The restaurant’s Hogs for the Cause award-winning smoked wings are another reason. These local favorites are slathered with white barbecue sauce and topped with a light dusting of cotija cheese, adding just enough tanginess to take them to the next level without overpowering their smokey goodness." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"This Central City spot housed in a corrugated metal building opened in late 2016 with a trio of custom-built cookers for smoking meats and an eye for pushing boundaries. Burnt ends, which even come on a salad, are one specialty, Hogs for the Cause award-winning smoked wings are another. Also check out the spoon bread, meat pies, and Brussels sprouts." - Eater Staff, Clair Lorell

"As if the fun, vivacious atmosphere and excellent barbecue weren’t enough, Central City BBQ also counts a huge, covered patio with hanging heaters as one of its draws. This spot is great for spaced-out, dog-friendly dining with friends — it’s also good for games." - Clair Lorell
