City Barbeque

Oh. My. GOODNESS!! SO good!!! The Bama pulled chicken- GOTTA HAVE IT!! Pulled pork, Yummers!! Hush puppies and green beans and peach cobbler 🤤 You MUST try this place out! Ethan was PHENOMENAL!! Super friendly and helpful!! Thanks, Ethan!! Made our dinner a delight!!

Just drive over to Prime or Smithfield’s in Knightdale. Horrible food. It looked and tasted old as in yesterday. Hush puppies were the worse. Hard and greasy. May have been twice fried? Okra was one big blob of fried mess. Caked up together Either old or fried at a low temperature. Mac and cheese. Just pass. I just blew $37.00. Threw half of it away. The tea was pretty good.

Everything about this place was amazing. The people were so friendly. Everything we tried on the 3 meat sampler was delicious. The brisket is so good. Highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyable visit at the Wendell Falls location!! Kelly was attentive to details and made our experience simply perfect! BBQ is so dang good! We had the pit master nachos (yum-o!!!) and the cheese bacon fries (delish!!). Next time we'll try one of the meat plates. We will definitely be back soon! ☺️ Oh, and the peach cobbler was delicious as was the chocolate cake! Lol We only got a pic of the chocolate cake... Everything else was devoured before pictures were even a thought 😆😆

I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience with Jason! From the moment we walked in, everything felt easy and enjoyable. Jason made the evening so memorable with his thoughtful conversation, great sense of humor, and attention to detail. He has a way of making the whole experience feel effortless and fun, turning a simple dinner into something special. The food was fantastic, but honestly, it was Jason’s company that made the night unforgettable. He made sure the atmosphere stayed light, engaging, and comfortable from start to finish. It was the kind of evening where time just flew by, and I left already looking forward to the next one. If you ever get the chance to share a meal with Jason, you’re guaranteed a first-class experience.

Lazy night so I ordered delivery. Two meats Two Sides. Bread. It came in roughly 20 minutes. Allowed me to tip my driver on my card. 100% of tips go to the driver. Notifications every time the status of my order changed. Food was warm and delicious. 100% positive experience.

Food and service are really great. Restaurant was very clean and tidy. My husband doesn’t eat gluten or dairy and there are nice options here for him.

My husband and I LOVE city bbq!! The one in Wendell is our personal favorite though (: the staff is so kind and helpful. Ethan was our cashier tonight, and he was awesome! Everything always tastes amazing, and we never complain about the food. We forgot to make a review after our wedding earlier this year, but 10000/10 service for our wedding! They were on time, food was amazing, set up and tear down (we did pay for but was amazing they even took out our trash), they handled managing tables coming up to eat, they got my husband and I our own plates and drinks so we didn’t have to get in line, and just were so fun! At the end of the night they packaged left overs for my husband and I and wrote a sweet note on the bag. I would highly recommend them to others to cater for their events! They make it so easy and less stressful (:

Sweet Tea: 10/10 Brisket: 10/10 Service: 10/10 I recently visited and ordered the two-meat platter, and let me just say: it's more than enough food for one person. I chose brisket and turkey as my two meats, and paired them with baked beans and coleslaw. The platter also comes with a slice of bread, which is a nice touch. The brisket? Absolutely amazing--smoky, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I was so stuffed after finishing that, I ended up packing the turkey and remaining sides to go. I haven't tried the turkey yet, but I'm looking forward to it next time. As for the coleslaw, it wasn't my favorite. I think I prefer the version they serve at the Greensboro location. That said, it still paired well with the meats, so no complaints there. The service was fantastic, and the location is super convenient--right off the highway. I'll definitely be back for more!

Ate here tonight at 6. Ordered for 2. Two Texas Reuben sandwiches with potato salad, baked beans, iced tea. We were there an hour. Place was less than half full. Most tables dirty with visible trash left behind. Trash cabinet had its door open with trash on floor. Reminded me of a college dining room. No one attempted to cleandining area entire time we were there. Sandwiches were served at room temperature. Lots of fat on brisket. Teaspoon sized dollop of Cole slaw on sandwich. Potato salad and baked beans decent. Tea was good. No reason to return.

City BBQ in Wendell has the BEST Cobb salad around. Fresh greens, perfect tomatoes, bacon, eggs and the protein of your choice. I got crispy chicken. It was $10.99. I barely ate half of it and have half of it tomorrow. This is a new item for them and is 10 out of 10. Hubby had sampler platter with turkey, brisket and sausage with 2 sides and bread. One of the chefs was carving ribs like butter, so we had to get some of those too. Totally recommend!

Got there at 6:00 on Sunday and they were already out of ribs so we ordered brisket, half a chicken, some BBQ and sides. The sides were ok but the brisket, chicken, and BBQ were colder than room temperature. Also when trying to get Dr. Pepper Diet from the drink station, water was leaking all over from around the dispenser. Some water gets in the drink and some all over your hand. We were very disappointed! I'll never go back to City BBQ in Wendell again! I've had a much better experience at the Garner City BBQ near Cabela's. Someone needs to straighten out the store in Wendell!

The food was good and I received what I ordered. The wait time in the drive thru could use work and maybe just bring my order next time because it was ready and sitting there. This way I could go and not be backing up traffic. My big problem was I paid $1.89 up charge to add bacon to my sandwich. I received two tiny pieces that wouldn't even equal one slice of bacon. Picture included. Not very happy.

Thanks for doing the dishes for me.This is a great take out! Sample platter fresh salad its all good!

I had a bad experience but Cassie was right on it with correcting the problem. The new order was amazing!

Went there for ribs and they didn't have any. Not good for a barbeque joint. Ended up getting wings and a side of okra.

We prefer the garner location. The bbq nachos saved them for sure. Atmosphere- fits Wendell Falls , clean and sophisticated with a lil hint of country. Service - fast and friendly Food - brisket was DRY AS F. It's a shame how these folks are overcooking this delicacy. Then they clearly don't know how to cut it. Raggedy edges made it look more like shredded beef! The pork was good! The chicken sandwich was so thin! Won't get that again ! Brisket sandwich was made with dry brisket so there's that. The sweat tea was good tho! They gotta step the game up frfr.

Wendell newest restaurant addition. Overall not bad, food was prepared well. Price was mid to high. The facilities were not well kept like you'd expected for a brand new business. First impressions are a big deal.

So awesome to have city bbq come to Wendell NC!! I have visited a few in the triangle,Cary ,Garner locations. I was super excited to visit this restaurant today. The service was ok. Obviously some of the workers are new and just getting in to the swing of things so the order took a little while . I am sure they will catch on soon and smooth sailing from then on. So excited to visit again soon.

Our family has eaten at the Garner restaurant for years. We were very excited when CB opened in WF. HOWEVER- after eating at the WF location numerous times -we have found it to be lacking in quality regarding the brisket and at times the smoked turkey. We decided to give it another try today - unfortunately both the turkey and brisket were extra dry - they crumbled due to the dryness--should never have been served. I haven't written a negative review -- even though it was warranted- b/f in hopes this would change. They did give me another very small serving of brisket to replace the first serving. Customer service is important- the guy slicing and serving the brisket seemed very annoyed and unfriendly as he handed me my brisket. I don't like to complain but if you're paying $34 for a meal - it is disappointing when you receive food of this quality

Great food the potato salad was excellent and it came out really fast. ..........................................

Very clean place, great vibes! Although, flavors are not there. We tried the pulled pork, brisket and texas style sausage- brisket was cut poorly, pulled pork was decent and the texas style sausage tasted just like breakfast sausage... Fried okra was fine but hardly breaded, great fries, baked beans and mac and cheese were alright. Overall the experience was subpar and not worth the price at all.

The ribs and sausage were great. I like their green beans cooked with bacon. All well done. I couldn't eat the fried okra. Saying it's fried is misleading. It's breaded but not cooked long enough to be crispy, just soggy. Avoid the undercooked okra.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the 3rd experience where the Wendell Falls store has totally blown my order and given nasty service from a manager . 3 strikes you are out.. the current experience Ryan the manager today is a nasty person who should not be working in the restaurant industry. I did a curbside pickup order I followed instructions and no one ever came out. My food was done earlier than 545 as the app said it would be. I got there early I was there at 532 and let them know I was there and would wait no problem , the order was done at 539 and they didn't bring it. go in at 550 wait in line for help my food is sitting for 30 minutes cold and soggy. I asked for a fresh order Ryan the manager gets smart and said they have a lot of orders and not their fault and had an attitude so I requested refund and they will never get my money again. I am also reporting the store to the corporate office 3 times I had problems and not a coincidence Ryan has a problem with people like me. Improvement would be a manager who is a people person I did nothing and but ask for a fresh sandwich.

The Brisket sandwich is just fat and gristle with a touch of meat even when I asked for Lean. I always inspect everything that is served to me, no matter who serves it. They tell me that's what lean looks like. I'm from Texas, I'v eaten brisket every week of my life. I know they could've fixed it, but I was told "that's how they serve their lean." I left the sandwich. Not a bite taken. I didn't ask for a refund. I just wanted a LEAN brisket sandwich like I've had all my life.

Great food, friendly staff, convenient location. What's not to like??!! Their peach cobbler was outstanding - the peaches were not soggy, and the homemade whipped cream make this dessert epic. Going back tonight for some more great food!!

City BBQ Wendell is the best. The food is fresh and good. Michelle, one of the mgrs is the best. She is friendly and accommodating. Matter of fact, most of the staff is. They donated food for our teacher appreciation week at East Wake HS this year and it was a success. We go here for dinner often and of course, we will keep it up. Thanks City BBQ

Had a great lunch today. Overall experience was nicer than average, but just under 4 stars. Order at counter then your name is called. We arrived around 2:30 and the dining room could have used a little attention (tables cleaned and floors swept). We each ordered the sausage sandwich ($6.99 each). Sausage was good, but recommend serving on a bun vs Texas toast. The bread was a little soft/soggy. In addition, we shared the 3 side plate ($7.99) with okra, baked beans, and collards. Baked beans had plenty of brisket chunks and all of the sides serving sizes were ample to share considering everything else we ordered. While the beans were tasty they are on the sweeter side and my general tastes are more savory. The collards were a hit and loaded with pork and just the right amount of vinegar. The okra was surprisingly tasty. I was afraid it would be heavy and greasy, but it appeared to be lightly hand breaded and flash fried. Only thing missing was a little salt. Separately, we shared an order of 6 wings ($8.99). While small in size, flavors were delicious and smokey. While I enjoyed the spicy ranch, blue cheese would have been nice. The pickles that came on the side with the wings were also delicious. Sauces were good but recommend pre filling disposable cups as the bottles were dirty after the lunch rush and based on set up they'll likely stay grimy/dirty. Good meal in what appears to be a new restaurant. Solid eats for the price and would try again.

Food is always super amazing! Friendly staff with super amazing service! The place is very nice looking!

The atmosphere is cozy with lots of wood look and food was great. I ordered brisket and pulled chicken which brisket was fall off the fork tender. They have 5 different sauces to try and I enjoyed all of it! The only minus was the speed of service. It was not busy but it took awhile for food to be made which lost one star. Overall good experience

If you want to be treated like a peice of trash then this is your place to be. I would have given this place negative zero stars if that was an option. Same Manager Ryan 3 times have I had issues with. The latest took the cake. I had a curbside pick up order and was early and sat inside my vehicle for 30 mins after I was supposed to have had my food brought out to me. I go inside of the store and see the bag was stamped for 5;31. I went into the store at 5:51 and asked if he was the manager to voice my concern. In return this rude individual responds we are busy and backed up and have other customers. I told him the food was cold by now and he responded its not that cold. By now I'm furious. I wanted my food remade then the same idiot was rude and nasty again not even a I'm sorry let me fix the problem or how can we make this right. So I requested just give me my money back. He didn't even do that. Instead he goes back behind the counter trying to intimidate me. I asked the guy who was behind the counter what was his name. He hears me asking that and tried to get nasty again. Saying I told you we were busy and backed up. Still no I'm sorry let me make this right for you or anything. Luckily I'm a Christian in my old days I would of went behind the counter and slapped fire out his mouth. So to end this story do not waste your heard earned money to have to deal with a manager who does not have any customer service skills. I have contacted the corporate office and no one has responded. So this review will now go on all reviews possible.

great food and Amaya was very respectful and helpful while I was ordering. customer service was great all around and very clean would recommend this to anybody who will listen

First time at City BBQ. The brisket and Mac and cheese were outstanding!! Will be back the next time I am in Wendell.

My family loves city BBQ in Wendell. Friendly staff and great food! Clean dinning room all three are a plus for me.

We ordered take out City Platter and when we got home the brisket was dry, barbecue was burnt, we ordered pint sides and got individual as well as 2 sauces and received none. I definitely do not recommend take out.

New customer and don't know if I will come back. I ordered the pit master nachos and only got chips and queso. They also forgot an extra side of mac and cheese. Food was pretty good tho and only reason I would consider coming back.

Recently visited and got the brisket and it was delicious and hot. The service was fantastic and I got my food in a timely manner. Since this City BBQ is new the facilities were nice and the atmosphere was welcoming.

great food and great service, will definitely be coming back again. I was able to get my food quickly while also being fresh. I would give this location a try if you haven't already!
