    I said I liked City BBQ in another thread earlier this year and got attacked saying I don't know what good food is. Glad to see I am not alone.

    As much as I love Chick-Fil-A's chicken, it is hard knowing that 2 cents of my meal will be benefiting an anti-gay association. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to donate to whomever they agr

Do they still have the old dancing guy at 6 flags?!

He remains a trademark, but is little used. New management emphasizes the local park and its attractions. This year at Six Flags Over Georgia, that's largely iLuminate (hmmm...Luminosity, Shamu, Shouka, the past repeats with a different twist). Then, next year (wait, I hear Cedar Fair reads this board...I guess you'll just have to wait for the announcement. DRAT! :))

BB1-Who takes over his courious nature and thinks about what secrets have been handed down to terpy...

Somewhere, Mr. Al Weber is giggling. Jane Cooper, too.

Terp (always tell the truth, people will never believe you...and has today ever been an example of that. I'm glad my employer encourages its employees to be all they can be. Consult me on that, years from now.)

Alright let me jot that down...Got it, BB1 ponders on what terpy knows, and ponders on what BB1 truely knows.

Agree on the hot dogs at the Varsity. I consider myself a bit of a hot dog connoisseur, and heard they were amazing there; but sadly they were pretty average.

The onion rings were very very good though. We didn't even go when it was crazy busy, which is what I hear that they're mainly known for: speed.

Does anyone else here LOVE City Barbeque? I can't stop getting it...the ribs with the mac and cheese...

One of my favorite places. Wife and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner there. Best BBQ I've ever had.

I used to love City BBQ...But, I tried a new place near 275 and Dixie HWY in Springdale called SMOQ. After I ate there I wanted to drive over City BBQ and throw rocks at them for lying about having the best BBQ in Cincy!

I grew up in Memphis, worked and ate much BBQ in KC, Texas, and North Carolina, so I consider myself a bit of a BBQ common sewer :ph34r:

Trust me, this place is amazing. SMOQ

The SmoQ recommendation is justified IF you get the right items.

We tried all the meats (minus the smoked sausage) and their pulled pork is their only standout item (but it is outstanding and perhaps the best in the city). The ribs, despite being advertised as some of the best in the city, really lacked significant flavor and was missing a nice bark from a rub that would have really helped with the flavor and eye appeal. Ditto for the brisket.

The sides ranged from really good (sweet potato brulee & cornbread) to mediocre at best (baked beans). The sauces aren't bad but lean a little too middle-of-the-road for my taste. I don't believe that any of their sauces really perked up any of their meats the way a good sauce should.

All in all I think that SmoQ is worth a try but I would be hesitant to eat there a bunch because of their higher prices. Try and look for Groupons/Living Socials for them as they become available to save a few bucks. I'd grade it a B+ overall.

I talked to the owner for awhile once. He told me he spent a great deal of time and got most of his influence for his recipes in Memphis and around Mississippi.(Photos on the wall serve as his tribute) So he's familiar with true cheap BBQ joints, so I was surprised at the prices as well. I agree that the pulled pork is the best of the meats. Try the turnip greens if your a fan.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Cleanliness-9

...

The soda machine had water at the bottom, an sd the tables were dirty.

Dirty tables and cleanliness still gets 9/10?

I'm more surprised at how often you eat out - maybe we need to start a recipe thread to encourage healthy eating at home ;)

This was a experience on a restaurant in the Tri-state area.

Not every outpost of a chain is the same. Which one?

Terp, 10 minutes from the original Chick-Fil-A right now (which would be 45 minutes or more this afternoon....Atlanta traffic!)
