City Barbeque Now Open In Downers Grove

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Just as the days of summer — and the days of seasonal backyard barbecues — are coming to a close, City Barbeque has opened its doors to give Downers Grove residents a taste of home-cooked southern-style barbecue year round. The new restaurant officially opened its doors at 1034 Ogden Monday and welcomed its first diners with T-shirts, gift cards, and a tempting selection of ribs, smoked meats, and other treats.

City Barbeque will host an official grand opening celebration on Saturday, August 18. The family-friendly festivities are slated to include face-painting from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., temporary tattoos from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and live music from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The restaurant will also be giving away a Yeti cooler and a charcoal grill. Download the City Barbeque app for a shot at these prizes an then host your own barbecue at home.

The Downers Grove City Barbeque marks the restaurant's fourth location. Diners can also dig into the extensive menu in Berwyn, Orland Park, and Deerfield. The Berwyn-based restaurant has made a name for itself with its award-winning beef brisket, St. Louis ribs, and refreshing sweet tea.
