BBQ City is a family-run business. Buddy and Carrie Phillips peek through the walk-up window of the restaurant with daughters Eliana, 4, and Delaney, 10, from right.For a couple of accountants, Buddy and Carrie Phillips sure know a lot about barbecue.
They own the walk-up restaurant BBQ City on Hixson Pike, located on the lot right next to Krystal and in front of Dollar General.
When the former owner of the Choo Choo BBQ that originally inhabited the building offered to sell his building to Buddy Phillips, Phillips and his wife dove in headfirst. Before they knew it, they were restaurant owners.
“It seemed like it just all fell together,” Buddy Phillips said.
The couple moved the mobile building to its new location on Hixson Pike and set up shop last spring.
