The new eatery also has new “Public Smokehouse” signage and branding that make it a prototype for future City Barbeque restaurants, along with a newly designed dining room and color scheme of burnt orange and blue, a spokeswoman for the Columbus-based chain said.
The region’s newest barbecue restaurant is at 6549 Miller Lane, behind the Speedway convenience store at the corner of Miller Lane and Benchwood Road. The site previously housed a Steak 'n Shake restaurant.
City Barbeque offers a full array of smoked meats, including ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken breast, pulled chicken, turkey breast and sausage. Sides include baked beans, collard greens, green beans, three-cheese mac-and-cheese, vinegar slaw and fries. Dessert options include peach cobbler, banana pudding and triple chocolate cake.

The new City Barbeque on Miller Lane will seat about 80, will employ about 60. The restaurant will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., although its drive-through window will stay open until 10 p.m. daily, according to Steve Dabell, the restaurant’s general manager.
In addition to dine-in service, City Barbeque offers carryout, curbside pickup and catering, Dabell said.
Columbus-based City Barbeque operates restaurants on East Franklin Street in downtown Centerville and on North Fairfield Road south of the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek.
