City BarbequeThe Ohio-based City Barbeque chain plans to open its first Indiana restaurant in Greenwood on the site of the former Grindstone Charley's. The chain, which was formed in 1999 by a barbecue competition team, offers a variety of regional styles at its 16 restaurants in Ohio. The new store at 7863 U.S. 31 South, scheduled to open in late summer or early fall, is under construction now. The chain also is looking at other potential locations in Indiana. Anyone familiar with the restaurants?

    My wife and I lived in the Dayton, Ohio area for a couple years and had a City Barbecue down the street. If you like GT South's then you will love this place. Not really my thing, but it's very popular in Ohio.

  • What's wrong with chains?

    I realize that independent places like Papa Roux, Jockamo's, Sahms and such are great but what about inviting chains, on a limited basis that aren't currently in town? I would rather have an independent than a chain (in MOST cases) but would rather have a new chain than an empty building.

    Don't know a thing about the restaurant.
    However, the location is not Greenwood. It
    is Southside Indy, Perry Township.

    Never eaten there but it better be fantastic because there are already at least 2 other BBQ joints on the southside and on 31, one of which actually is in Greenwood

      I looked at the menu online and it looks comparable to famous daves and we are not impressed with daves, smokey bones is the best on the southside

    • Chains aren't that bad

      I agree, Dave in Indy. While I would rather have an independent restaurant, chain restaurants still have a local owner/proprietor (usually) and employ local people. What's so bad about that?

    • A local proprietor

      I happened to meet the owner of this City Barbeque a few weeks ago at a mutual friend's home. He is a local proprietor and lives somewhere in the Indy area with his family. He was very proud of the restaurant and excited for the opening. If that's indicative of anything, I would say this restaurant and the owner will be a boon to the area. I wish him and his team good luck in their opening.

      Just trying to locate City BBQ's menu is a nightmare. I have ate here once, it was good. They are right, it is not in greenwood. How to find the menu?

      We have eaten at the City Barbeque close to my daughter and SIL's house in Franklin OH and enjoyed it very much. We were suprised to find another location on the south side of Indy.

    1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

    2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

    3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

    4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

    5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
