City Barbeque

This is a COVID era review. All staff were masked, masks were required for customers, and seating capacity was limited.

For a chain BBQ restaurant and for not being in the south, it's a good restaurant. Great variety for a great price. Delicious sweet tea, too which is a must for a southerner like myself. Plenty of space to eat inside and I believe even outside, too. They even serve beer if you're interested. Parking: Lots of parking room and plenty of handicapped parking too.
