Q is my favorite BBQ spot in the area. They have an outstanding selection of meats, particularly the burnt ends and chopped brisket, which are two of my favorites. The sauces are high-quality, and the sides are fantastic—the hush puppies are especially impressive. It’s definitely worth the price!
Q-BBQ is a fantastic new dining option in the area. The four barbecue sauces—sweet, spicy, mustard, and vinegar—are all incredibly tasty. I appreciate that you place your order at the counter, regardless of whether you're dining in or taking out. I'm quite particular about cornbread, and theirs exceeds the quality of many other places. The prices are very reasonable too; you can get a sandwich, a side, and two Q-pups for just $10.
I went for brunch at Q BBQ, which is a new offering for them. My boyfriend felt the Bloody Marys were not worth the $9 price tag, as the mix didn't meet his expectations and one of them was even clogged. However, I had some amazing pork tacos that were absolutely delicious. The fries that came with them were topped with parmesan, garlic, and chives, and I can't stop thinking about them. I would definitely return, even if it's just for the tacos and fries, especially since it's only down the block from me.
My go-to BBQ place has always been SMOQUE on Pulaski, but I wanted to see if there were other places in town worth trying.. Most of the places such as Barn/Co, Wriggleyville BBQ, Smokin Woody's were misses, and Bub City.. its too loud for my taste Q is a great place for that reason! The people serving/cooking your food understand what food should taste like, and they will help you pair the right sauces with the right meats. HIGHLY recommend the chicken wings, Brisket (sliced), and/or the ribs... dont forget the mac/cheese and a side of slaw!
Walked by here for on the way home and there was a nice lady saying 'free food! ' with a smile on her face. I thought, why not check it out? Got two orders of wings, with fries and boy were they good! Had a nice sweet yet salty flavor. The spicy wings weren 't really that spicy, but I like my food hotter than most. Will be back again, but this time I guess I 'll pay for it.
