Q Fanatic Artisan Bbq - Minneapolis

Super good and the best people!!The staff will always take care of you and has great recommendations.Like ordering ahead of their website will get you thru much faster.If you're driving in make sure you check for their break as they get an hour in Minneapolis location and the store shuts down.

All the meat is fantastic! Thankfully the meat is phenomenal on its own because we didn't care for any of the sauces. Potato salad is bland. Coleslaw has great flavor but has zero color and texture, no celery seed, carrots, or red cabbage. Garlic bread is passable. However, the potato wedges are amazing!Service is quite fast the cooks and cashiers are friendly (not amazing, but nice enough).Bottom line, get any meat you'd like but be wary of the sides. Totally worth the money for the meat, though.

My partner and I went to Q-Fanatic because he's a big BBQ fan. This was my first time at a BBQ joint and I did like this one! The meats were all tender juicy. I loved the sides a lot, too!! Restaurant vibe was good, too. It was very chill and laid-back. Loved it!!

The food was very quickly assembled, great and friendly service! We got the Family Meal: 4 meats, 4 sides, bread choice, and 7 sauces (inc. Mustard, Pepper Vodka, Vinegar, etc. ! It was delicious down to the Coleslaw! Most most places lack in at least one menu item, but not Q! And the feeling of ordering a combination of several BBQ sauces, priceless.

My partner is from Texas and thought we’d try with all of the high ratings. It didn’t taste like any of the Texas Barbecue that we know. The portions in my opinion were on the light side. We just didn’t taste any seasoning, no smoke. Out of the ribs pulled pork sausage and ham, the ribs were the better option but still underwhelming. The macaroni, again not like what we’re used to. No seasoning and mainly like too much velvetta melted over noodles. For reference we went to the Minneapolis location. If you’re truly looking for a good barbecue joint with the best sides try soul to soul smokehouse. You’ll taste seasoning throughout the food including the meat.
