City Smoke House

Office had a rare catered lunch from our boss earlier this spring 2023 and no one had heard of this place before. There were 4 selections to pick from which were pulled chicken, pulled pork, portobello mushroom and the beef brisket cooked for 14 hours. I enjoyed it with good size portion that filled me up completely. I might have to skip dinner or eat light dinner maybe. Beans, Mac and cheese and bread were all soft and good. I poured the nice sauce with an excellent balance of tang, spice and sweet rolled into one taste which was impressive for me. I liked how each of the meals came in preset personal size meal and labeled well for easy distribution. We had 2 vegetarian workers and this meal was perfect and they enjoyed it too! :)San Francisco doesn't have too many barbecue places for some reason, maybe No county music stations here might be part of it and one will have to travel to suburbs to go get some BBQ and chase down some food trucks. This a a good catering company that serves something different. If we do get catering it is mostly boring sandwiches, so this was a fun change of pace.

I am extremely impressed with how tasty this brisket was! Our office got City Smoke House catered and honestly it's hard to get good bbq in the city ESPECIALLY large amounts of it. Everything was amazing.

This place is the best! We order catering from here for all of our jobsite events / holidays and they are always reliable. Massive portions for the headcount given. They can provide delivery and setup with plates, utensils, serving spoons, and table cloths. Pro tip: ask for to go boxes because you will forsure need them! I've had all of the meats and sides that they offer, and they're all hits. The meat is always tender and moist. The mac and cheese is phenomenal.

These folks are super responsive, easy to work with, and provide great food! I use them as a splurge caterer.

This was my third City Smoke House catering experience. Their food is phenomenal which keeps us coming back for special occasions. My first time having City BBQ was when my school had an event catered. The chicken, portobello mushrooms and Mac n cheese were standouts. (pre-covid) When my brother turned 40 in September we ordered for a socially distant backyard hangout. The food was delivered piping hot to the Sunset. No reheating needed. The brisket, ribs and Mac n cheese were mouthwatering. In addition to the food being delicious the portions are generous and we had tons of leftovers. Thanksgiving was different this year and we decided that although the circumstances sucked- the food didn't need to! I picked up our order from their location in the Tenderloin near Dotties Cafe. The area is a bit sketchy and the door was locked when I arrived. However, I got my food and was back in my car in under 2 minutes. Everything was delicious as expected except the mashed potatoes. They tasted like boxed instant potatoes (yuck). I personally did not care for the smoked turkey but everyone in my family loved it. I noticed the individual meals had BBQ sauce for the turkey (ours came with gravy) so I'm wondering if I'd like it more with sauce. Overall, we will happily continue to support this incredible local family business. Thank you City Smoke House!

Had the catered lunch and was pretty good! Pulled pork was pretty moist and the beans were a bit too sweet but was tasty. The collard greens were just okay but everything else was solid.

Our company hired City Smoke House to cater our holiday party. Brian and Brandon were so helpful and accommodating. They are so awesome to work with. The food was amazing. We got so many compliments on the menu choice for this year's party. I can't say enough about this place and the owners.

Omgosh the ribs are so tender and the meat falls off the bone with an amazing taste of Smokey sauces and the meat flavor !! The sides are great and the food is very fresh and nutritious

Run, do not walk. RUN to have City Smoke House cater your next party. The Brian and Brandon team is terrific in all counts: Terrific chefs, creative menu planners, and terrific people. They catered, with very little notice, my party of 17 and made great suggestions: Wonderful, spice-rubbed and smoked ribs; OMG sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, mac n' cheese to die for, killer beans, cornbread & Jalapeno muffins, dinner rolls. They helped make my party a hit. Like I said, run don't walk. You know I will be working with these guys again. Oh yeah.

Great food. Great service. General portions. Always on time. Best take out BBQ in the city.
