City Barbeque
Cincinnati, United States
The brand has run competition-quality smokehouses since 1999; this location opened in 2026 on Eastgate North Drive. On-site smokers, hickory fuel, and the low-and-slow method the chain was built on. Open daily from half-ten in the morning until eight at night. No shortcuts in the pit; none in the hours either.
City Barbeque
Cincinnati, United States
City Barbeque is a competition-quality smokehouse that's been doing things the same way since 1999: local hickory, on-site smokers, and meat cooked low and slow. This Finneytown outpost opened in 2026, bringing that approach to a corner of Cincinnati where curbside, drive-thru, and delivery mean you can skip the dining room entirely if that's your preference. The smokers run daily. The hickory is local. The method doesn't change. Open every day from half-ten in the morning until nine at night — order at the counter, through the window, or from the kerb.
