Celebrating 25 years

of serving and creating happiness
It all started in 1999

The very first City Barbeque location opened in 1999, and 25 years, 10 states, and 74 locations later, we're still smoking authentic craft barbeque and serving and creating happiness for others. To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we're collecting your City Barbeque memories, partying with throwback pricing, and serving up incredible offers for our City Rewards members. 

Maybe we were where you had your first date (we hear that a lot), or catered your wedding (that, too). Did your kid have a LoLo's right before they won the big game, or did you celebrate a family reunion with a Party Pack of two? We're collecting stories about how City Barbeque has been part of your lives these last 25 years—and we've got some incredible prizes to give away!

Speaking of prizes, you'll want to be sure to visit your local City Barbeque joint on September 25, 2024 for Wayback Wednesday (and be one of the first 100 folks in line 😉). 

And we can't forget our City Rewards members—we wouldn't be here without you!—so we've got exclusive City Rewards offers ready to roll all September long. 

Thanks for 25 great years. Here's to many more to come!
