Everything was really great, we were 4 of us from work. The pulled pork, BBQ chicken, the brisket and ribs were off the charts. The others on the monster platter were great too.

City has the best beans around, with brisket in them. The turkey is respectable, the the brisket is reliably excellent. I hear the ribs are good too. I also get Mac n Cheese, hush puppies, banana pudding, and the wonderful peach cobbler laced with a subtle spice mace?

We ordered takeout for a family holiday dinner and WOW.....the food was amazing. The brisket was probably the best Ive ever had. I like brisket when it is a little more done so its a little drier and the fat has been more rendered and this was perfect. Then the apple cobbler was really good. Even the coleslaw was top notch.
