    Fried pickles were good, sliders were good, cobb salad was good. Cauliflower was mushy and no flavor-not good. Ambience was great, service was average.

    The food was not great. I had to send my BBQ chicken salad back. I could not even eat it that’s how horrible it tasted. Was giving them a second try but sadly won’t be back,

    Another fantastic experience at City Works! Cheddar Burger and Chopped Chicken Salad were delicious, as always. Service was outstanding. It's one of our favorite places to dine - love the hightop in the bar area. We'll be back for sure!
