Rock Hill residents are about to get a new favorite neighborhood spot for authentic flavors. After 25 years of perfecting the art of smoking meats low and slow, City Barbeque is officially opening its doors in Rock Hill. The brand, which began as a single backyard dream in 1999, has grown into a celebrated tradition defined by craft, community, and genuine hospitality.
Grand Opening Festivities at City Barbeque
The new joint is located at 5001 Old York Road, conveniently situated near the Walmart Supercenter. Service officially begins on March 2, and the team is planning a major celebration to mark the occasion. To kick things off, a special “Rib’n” cutting ceremony will be held with representatives from the local chamber.
If you are planning to attend, it pays to arrive early. The first 50 guests in line will receive a gift bag packed with:
-
A City Barbeque T-shirt.
-
A bottle of the brand’s signature sauce.
-
Gift cards ranging in value from $5 to $250.
In total, the team will be providing $1,000 in giveaways to celebrate joining the local community.
The Authentic Menu at City Barbeque
What sets the brand apart is its commitment to traditional methods. Every joint smokes its meats on-site daily over local hickory wood. Furthermore, all sides and desserts are prepared fresh from scratch every single morning.
The Rock Hill menu will offer a variety of favorites, including:
-
Signature meats like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, and chicken.
-
Classic, scratch-made sides such as mac and cheese, baked beans, and coleslaw.
Serving the Rock Hill Community
Beyond standard dine-in and carryout services, the restaurant is prepared to handle events of all sizes. They will offer delivery and full-service catering designed for office lunches, school events, family gatherings, and neighborhood celebrations. This versatility reflects the brand’s core belief that great food is meant to bring people together.
“We’re excited to join the Rock Hill community,” stated Mike Muldoon, president and CEO of City Barbeque. “For more than two decades, we’ve believed that great barbeque brings people together. We’re looking forward to serving our new neighbors and becoming part of the local traditions that make Rock Hill special”.
