We have been closely watching the construction of Monroe Road’s newest restaurant. City Barbeque, an award-winning barbeque joint, opened their first Charlotte location in Ballantyne last year. Construction on their second just finished in south MoRA. We finally got a sneak peak inside at the restaurant and their “low and slow” cooked meats.
City Barbeque smokes all their meats on-site, including pulled pork, brisket, pulled chicken, smoked turkey, St Louis cut ribs, sausage, and smoked chickens. The menu looks delicious, offering deserts like homemade warm peach cobbler, sweet corn pudding, hand-dipped hush puppies, baked beans with brisket, fresh cut fries, among many others.
Take a look for yourself.
The dedication to their craft is impressive, and the homemade sides are just what we needed in our part of town. City Barbeque opens at 1514 Galleria Blvd, Charlotte NC 28270, within walking distance of MoRA favorite Deep Sea Seafood Market and the soon-to-open Jolly Rolls gourmet rolled ice cream shop. South MoRA may be the perfect destination to pair with an evening at Charlotte’s best movie theater, Cinemark Movie Bistro.
The BBQ joint opens Monday, February 27th, but they have a grand opening celebration on Saturday, March 4th, that includes kid’s entertainment, giveaways and appearances by Sir Purr, the Top Cats and Carolina Panthers’ PurrCussionists. There will be food samples, and 10% of all sales will go to local non-profit Bright Blessings.
MoRA is very excited to welcome City Barbeque to the neighborhood. Be sure to RSVP to the grand opening celebration here.
