I hadn't been to City Barbecue in quite a long time - since before they moved to this location, when they used to be in a plaza on Big Beaver. I'm still in their e-club though, And recently they've been sending me a lot of deals, including this week, when they sent me a free two meat, two side plate, which was too much to resist, so I stopped by for lunch today.
They have curbside which was excellent. When I pulled up, I clicked a button on my phone, on their website, and my food came out very quickly. I believe they also offer this on their app.
I ordered brisket, which normally is a $3 upcharge; pulled pork; hush puppies; and corn pudding. It also comes with Texas toast.
The brisket was really, really good and a lot better than I had remembered. The pulled pork was decent but did have a lot of fatty pieces, which is not my preference. The hush puppies were also very good, which I remembered from the last time I did take out, but the corn pudding was a little more mushy than I would like.
Overall they've made me a new fan and I will stop by this location again when I'm in the area. They also have a drive-thru, which is super convenient. I don't remember what was there before but my guess is it was a fast food place.
