Central City BBQ

Central City BBQ is freaking amazing and has some awesome BBQ with pllllllllenty of seating options of indoor/outdoor. The restaurants gives the vibe of a bbq joint which is so chill. I am not a big bbq fan, however, I love some good ribs and rib tips and I must say they don't disappoint with the rib tips.I have visited this location twice now and I had great experience each time. I have gotten 3 meat combo that comes with sides which were all fabulous. Very welcoming staff/service.Be advised they also have a "happy hour" from 3pm-6pm which is kinda cool and the chicken cracklin' were effing phenomenal! The restaurant is spacious and have plenty of tv's to catch any of your favorite sports/events

Overdue to write this review!Parking on the street was limited! There was an activity on the street but not in the BBQ house.Very good experience and food came out quickly, as it should!! I never understood why it takes so long to receive barbecue orders because it's NOT cooked to order.Sweet corn spoon bread - very goodBrussels sprouts - very goodRib tips - very goodRibs - better than averageTop 2 or 3 in the area.Staff member in Camelia house in Slidell had recommended Central City and they were 100% correct.You'll enjoy for sure!

Walk in and order food at the counter, drinks at the bar. I've been here twice and both times the food was great - large portions and smoked well.The brisket is ok - a little dry, but has a nice bark. The jalapeno cheddar sausage is always good. Burnt ends and pork belly are always delicious! My friend ordered a salad and it looked amazing - maybe I'll try next time. The combo plates are served with a fat slice of white bread and onions and pickles if you want them. Oh and the sides are tasty too - spoon bread is one of my faves, sweet chili brussel sprouts are delicious and the Mac and cheese if good and the jumbalaya was flavorful with lots of meat. Very chill casual spot to enjoy some bbq, relax with a drink and watch a game.

I went back to CC this past Sunday & Welp a lot has changed in a year. No more Starter Rib tips you can only get them as a $13 meal that was disappointing. I ended up getting the 3 meats options with 2 sides. I got the burnt ends, pulled pork and sausage and A side of coleslaw and brussel sprouts w strawberry lemonade which was delicious by the way along with the sides .I don't recommend going on a Sunday. I believe I got the burn ends from Friday. They seem to just be reheated which made the burnt portion harder and dry and they were the same temperature as the coleslaw. The pulled pork & sausage had good flavor but also wasn't hot it all tastes like it was day old reheated Bbq. They also removed the barbecue sauce station. It appears they only have one sauce now and you have to ask for it because mine didn't come with my tray. The good news is the one sauce they have is still good and it definitely was needed to get through those burnt ends. I don't believe in sending anything back because I would just leave so I persevered through but it wasn't enjoyable unfortunately. I left a lot of unedible burnt ends behind which was an additional 4-$6 to add on the 3 meats combo. Hopefully if it was just a hiccup because I haven't actually gone on the weekend before but I'll make sure I won't make that same mistake next time.

This place divided my family when my wife and kids said it was way better than my smoked bbq. The baked beans were incredible the brisket chili... was great and the meats were juicy, tasty, and just top notch.

This is definitely the place to go if you're looking for great BBQ in New Orleans. It is right by the arena and stadium. There is lots of seating inside and outside and TVs had football on. I had the two meat plate- pulled pork and beef brisket along with potato salad and jambalaya as sides. The meat is gluten free before sauce is added. It was so delicious and you get a lot of food. I was stuffed and couldn't finish it all. The staff was great and service was quick!

Was delicious! We ordered a bunch for about 70$. We got the cracklin, brisket bombs, 3 meat platter (sliced brisket, burnt ends, pork belly, Mac and cheese, corn spoon bread), and pulled pork nachos. The sliced brisket and pull pork nachos were our favorites! Food came out pretty quick once ordered. Everyone was nice as well. Had a laid back bbq feel which was nice.

We've been heee several time, and each time it's been great. The food is amazing and comes out quickly. The servers and well mannered and helpful. My family and I love eating here and it is well worth the 30 min drive! We will continue eating and supporting them!

Went here a few years back for a pre wedding buffet and was not all that impressed so luckily we went back to see what it was like at its best and we are glad we did.Very good BBQ coming from their huge smoking pits; the ribs were excellent, as were the rib tips, wings and brisket.Sides were good as well.Worth going; decent value, nice large dining room plus covered outdoor patio and adequate service though there is no table service.

The food was Amazing!!! Great service and the smoke was on point. The Sweet corn Spoon bread balance everything out.
