Definitely stopping by when in town again. Quick friendly service and the pod had lots of different options with a beer stand. As a Seattleite I’m no bbq expert but this was definitely better and cheaper than anything we have up north. Meat was tender fall-off-the-bone and mac n cheese was smoky and spicy.

Wasn't that hungry but saw the incredible pork steak and had to get. It's incredible in how much you get for so little money, but also how great it tastes! I'm huge on BBQ after living in the south and this is one of the best and unique I've ever had

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and was finally able to stop by. I ordered the three meat tray with brisket, ribs and hot link. The brisket was delicious and so tender, the ribs were also so tender and perfectly cooked and ...

Omg!! So good! We had brisket and pork sandwiches, some baked beans and slaw. All very good. The best bun I’ve ever had. Some buns are too big and cover the flavor. Some buns can’t hold up to the sandwich and disintegrate. These buns were light, not too thick, and toasted just perfectly. They allowed the flavor of the meat to shine. Yummy!

Fantastic Texas BBQ in Woodstock. Prices are fair. I got the McBarky consisting of ribs in a French roll by Dos Hermanos. As a side I chose the BBQ beans. The sando and the side were fantastic! I highly recommend eating here and getting a beverage.

They’re back! If you were a fan before, expect the same. For the new people reading this review, bark City is fantastic! Incredible tender meats, fantastic sauces. I prefer the sandwiches because the chef knows how to balance food. Lots of slaw and jalapenos to balance out savory meat. Good buns too! My favorite thing is the prices are spot on. As someone who makes food I hate seeing uniform prices for things I know are cheaper. Good on them, go here if you’re still reading this. Edit: had the 2 meat platter with 2 sides everything was 5 stars. Try the pickled avacado if you haven’t they’re great.

Mouthwatering deliciousness!! I had one of the specials of the day, the South Carolina pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac & cheese, it was so flavorful! I ate every scrumptious bite. The Mac & cheese was super creamy with bacon, tiny bits of jalapeno & crumbled potato chips on top. It was so incredibly good. The pork belly on the sandwich was a strip of heaven on an already yummy sandwich. Will definitely be back.
