City Barbeque

RestaurantsOhio, United States1001-5000 Employees

In 1999, a Kansas farm kid named Rick Malir teamed up with a competition barbeque team, quit his day job, bought an old donut shop, and opened the first City Barbeque. Today we own and operate 54 restaurants in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, and we’re looking at new markets all the time.

Every day, at every restaurant, our teams slow-smoke award-winning barbeque and craft homemade sides and desserts from scratch. Our food has been honored by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (American Royal Invitational World Champion Brisket), Restaurant Hospitality magazine (“More Cowbell,” named one of the country’s best sandwiches), the National Turkey Federation (Turkey on the Menu, Fast Casual category), and by local publications in every market we serve.

We also offer personalized, affordable, award-winning catering. We’re so proud to cater folks’ special moments, and our experience can’t be matched: we cater more than 2,000 weddings each year! Our friendly catering team makes every event—from formal wedding receptions to casual backyard get-togethers—flawless and fun.
Each City Barbeque joint serves its community by giving back about 10% of pre-tax profits to local charities and non-profits; donating food to community events and food-insecure families; and raising funds for organizations like the American Cancer Society, the Resurrecting Lives Foundation, the FFA, and more.

Our team is committed to our values: serving competition-quality barbeque with genuine backyard hospitality; improving ourselves and our processes a little every day; and staying true to our purpose of serving and creating happiness. That begins with serving and supporting our team: with industry-leading pay, ever-improving benefits, scholarship opportunities, and more. We’ve been named Global Best Practices winner for people services by TDn2K and best employer in our Ohio hometown for three years running. We’d love to welcome you to the team.
