City Barbeque has expanded its Tennessee presence with the opening of a second restaurant in the state. The Dublin, Ohio-based barbecue chain launched its newest location at 107 N. Thompson Lane in Murfreesboro. The opening follows the brand's Tennessee debut in November 2025 in Johnson City.
Founded in 1999, City Barbeque serves slow-smoked meats prepared on-site, including brisket, pulled pork, St. Louis ribs, smoked turkey and chicken. The menu also offers scratch-made sides such as mac and cheese, baked beans, collard greens, fried okra and coleslaw.
The Murfreesboro restaurant offers dine-in, carryout and delivery options, as well as full-service catering for office lunches, school events, celebrations and other gatherings.
