City Barbeque — Raleigh
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
City Barbeque runs competition-quality smokers at its Lake Boone Trail outpost in Raleigh, turning out hickory-smoked meat daily.
The business started in 1999; this location opened in 2026. Everything's cooked low and slow over local hickory, the way competition pitmasters do it when the clock and the judges are watching.
Open seven days, 10:30 to 21:00. The smokers are on-site — you'll smell them before you see the address.
