Brisket before business. This fast-casual BBQ spot offers meals of all sizes. Right after landing at RDU and grabbing a rental car, my coworker and I headed straight to City BBQ for lunch. Priorities! I got the 'Sampler: 2 Meats, 2 Sides, Texas Toast' with my choices of 18-Hour Brisket (smoky, tender, yummy) and Pulled Pork (bland without sauce). Thankfully, the vinegar-based Swine Wine sauce from the sauce bar saved the day. The Cornbread was okay and too smooth for me (I like crumbs and crustiness), but the Collard Greens were delicious! NOTES/TIPS: **Super friendly, patient, helpful, fast service. **Huge space, lots of tables. Easy parking in their own lot. **The sauce bar (~8 sauces) deserves a medal. Swine Wine carried this mission.

I had to request moist brisket for my sandwich as the lean was very dry and overcooked. No bend or easy pull. Good flavor otherwise. The fried smoked wings were overseasoned and dry. We went after the lunch rush on a Thursday afternoon around 2:15.

Friendly staff and very good BBQ. We got the sampler platter for 6 people. It was a lot of food for a very good price. You can choose several sauces that are all very good. It’s very good and authentic BBQ.. Will definitely come back.

First time here and the food is DIVINE! The sides I had were delicious, particularly the fried okra with the chipotle ranch dipping sauce and the potato salad. The peach cobbler must be a double crust and it was out of this world. I regret not taking more photos before I started chowing down. I will definitely be back!
