Awards
Why City Barbeque why was this picked
We label City Barbeque a stretch pick out loud: it is the Columbus-born chain with wide hours and kids-menu logistics, not the craft trailer that wins a smoke-off. Brisket and sides stay consistent enough for weeknight runs, even if bark hunters will rank independents higher. It suits Upper Arlington and busy family nights when you want barbecue without checking a sell-out board.
- Columbus-born chain with honest stretch label
- Henderson Road hours that catch weeknights
- Consistent plates when craft pits sell out
Know before you go
We label City Barbeque on W. Henderson Road a stretch pick out loud: it is the Columbus-born chain with wide hours and kids-menu logistics, not the craft trailer that wins a smoke-off. Brisket and sides stay consistent enough for family nights when parking and speed matter more than a sold-out board. Dinner for two usually stays in the $$ range at the Henderson counter on a regular weeknight visit.
Confirm hours before you go; directories typically show late morning to 9:00 p.m. daily at this location. Counter service means no reservations. Park in the free lot out front. Pair the stop with our Upper Arlington page. Then weigh stretch picks against craft rooms on our best BBQ in Columbus list.

- Use the kids menu and wide hours when logistics matter more than a craft-trailer wait.
