What a great way to start the summer by chowing down on some delicious authentic crafted barbeque food at City Barbeque, the new location opening up in Johns Creek, Georgia on June 25th.
I took my girls with me since they're foodies like myself to sample some of the made-from-scratch smoked meats and decadent desserts. And let me just say, the food hit a home run for us! I'm all about my bbq; it must be seasoned right, smoked to perfection, with bbq sauce bursting with sweet, smoky taste. When I walk in, it better smell like I stepped into a smokehouse. And I know my smokehouses, I been to a couple in Texas. City Barbeque exceeded that expectation too!
Most Texas barbeques are smoked with post oak, hickory or mesquite wood. Most Carolina barbeque is smoked with hickory. City Barbeque uses fruit woods which adds a tasty sweet flavor, especially to pork. City Barbeque also uses dry wood which is best for smoking because the smoke is denser and concentrated allowing the Pit Master more control.
Additionally, City Barbeque is company-owned so they have great control over the quality. There are plans to open 8 to 10 City Barbeque restaurants in the Atlanta area over the next three years. The first was opened in Decatur in October 2017.
The City Barbeque menu features an assortment of perfectly smoked meats, including beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey breast, smoked chicken, and smoked sausage, served with the choice of eight different sauces. The menu also features popular sandwiches such as the “More Cowbell,” named one of the Best Sandwiches in America by Restaurant Hospitality magazine. Scratch-made sides like sweet vinegar slaw, corn pudding, and potato salad are made in-house every day, along with homemade favorites such as creamy mac & cheese, hand-dipped hush puppies, and baked beans with brisket. Fresh salads and homemade desserts round out the regular menu.
The restaurant also offers rotating seasonal menu items, including smoked salmon and fried catfish during Lent and whole smoked turkeys and hams available for pre-order at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. The current seasonal menu offers Brisket Tacos, Cukes n’ Onions, and Citrus Pecan Slaw. City Barbeque is available for dine-in or take out and provides award-winning catering for weddings, graduations, office parties, reunions, and holiday dinners. The menu also includes craft sodas and beer.
“We are very excited to expand City Barbeque in Johns Creek, Decatur, and throughout the Atlanta area,” said Atlanta Market Leader Bryson Brewer. “Like all City Barbeque restaurants, the Johns Creek joint will smoke all meats on-site and will serve the same award-winning barbeque, homemade sides, and indulgent desserts that guests have come to know and crave.”
The Johns Creek location is almost 5k square feet and will seat 88 guests inside and up to 30 guests on the patio. There is also a meeting/party room with AV presentation capability that can host nearly 50 people for those wishing to reserve a private space.
City Barbeque has been winning awards for its smoked meats since its founding in 1999: its brisket was named American Royal Invitational World Champion Brisket by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, and the restaurant’s smoked turkey has been recognized by the National Turkey Foundation. City Barbeque has also been recognized as one of the best barbeque spots in America by Men’s Journal and named by Business Insider as having some of the nation’s best barbeque. Additionally, the brand has picked up countless local awards in the cities it resides.
At City Barbeque, folks wake up early to make the city’s best barbeque: every day, at every restaurant, teammates slow-smoke award-winning barbeque and craft homemade sides and desserts. City Barbeque also caters to incredible events, providing personalized, friendly, and affordable service for events large or small, formal or laid-back. The company is devoted to supporting its teammates and the communities it serves and prioritizes giving back to local charities and non-profits.
City Barbeque teammates are dedicated to providing competition-quality barbeque and genuine backyard hospitality; to improving themselves and their processes a little every day; and to stay true to their purpose: to serve and create happiness. City Barbeque has 37 locations in six states. For more information, visit City Barbeque at citybbq.com, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
