City Barbeque — Medina

The smokehouse on North Court Street is part of a business that's been at this since 1999, cooking low and slow over hickory sourced locally. What comes off the pit here is built to competition standard — the kind of barbecue that doesn't lean on sauce to carry it.

They smoke on the premises. The wood is hickory. The method is patient. That's the setup, and it holds across every location the brand runs. In Medina, it means walking into a working smokehouse where the process is visible and the product speaks plainly.
