City Barbeque

About City Barbeque

Born from a love of authentic barbeque and the joy of sharing it, City Barbeque has been serving the flavor of America since 1999. Founded by Kansas farm kid Rick Malir in a converted donut shop, the brand has grown from a backyard dream into nearly 100 restaurants across the Midwest and Southeast - with new markets always on the horizon. Every day, our teams slow-smoke award-winning barbeque over local hickory wood and prepare scratch-made sides and desserts fresh in-house. Our food has earned national recognition, including the American Royal Invitational World Champion Brisket, along with awards from Restaurant Hospitality and the National Turkey Federation. City Barbeque also provides award-winning catering for thousands of events each year, including more than 2,000 weddings. Giving back is core to who we are - each restaurant donates about 10% of pre-tax profits to local charities and community partners. More than 25 years later, we remain committed to competition-quality barbeque, genuine backyard hospitality, and creating happiness for our guests, communities, and team members.
