City Barbeque — Westerville

City Barbeque has been smoking meat since 1999, and this Westerville outpost on South State Street carries the same approach: on-site smokers, local hickory, and the kind of low-and-slow method that wins competitions and feeds regulars in equal measure.

No shortcuts. The wood is local, the process is patient, and the result is barbecue done properly. It's a smokehouse that happens to have multiple locations — the consistency is the point.
