City BBQ Celebrates 25 Years with Free BBQ, Giveaways & Throwback Prices

Blowout Anniversary Party with Special Throwback Pricing, Giveaways, and Authentic BBQ to celebrate 25 years of smokehouse favorites at City BBQ

“Twenty-five years ago, we just wanted to have a local barbecue joint, a business in the community,” said Rick Malir, City Barbeque founder and chairman. “We’ve spent every day of those 25 years working to serve the best barbecue we can and welcome every person to our place like family. We knew we wanted to get just a little bit better every day, and I’m proud to say we’re delivering on that promise. 

As they celebrate this milestone, City Barbeque is giving back to the loyal customers who have made it all possible with a series of exciting deals, giveaways, and events throughout August and September. Visit any of their eight locations in Indiana.
