"I see a real future here and love the constant jubilant vibes. I could grow to become a general manager of a City BBQ one day and maybe one day you could work on my team!"
Savon, Teammate
"I thought I wanted to be an FBI agent until I joined City BBQ for my first real job. I learned that people care about you at the company and moved up. Learning from one position to the next–after starting as a dishwasher–I now help manage a City BBQ."
Matt, Asst. General Manager
"This was my first job and I didn't go in thinking I'd be here long. Over the last several years I have seen and experienced opportunity. I take care of my grandparents and City BBQ accommodates my school and family responsibilities."
Kyle, Shift Leader
"What other company truly empowers employees to take care of the guest without getting a manager involved? With the cultural values we have in place it makes it easy to do your job. It's easy to show teammates and guests backyard hospitality."
