dbarrow's Review of Q Barbeque‎

Main Fare:

• Ribs - fully rendered almost fall off the bone tenderness with a good balanced rub and marinade. These ribs are done to perfection but for my liking could use a bit more rub.
• Pulled pork - nicely balanced between meat and sauce. Very nice!
• Brisket - basically served like chopped beef covered in a light sauce. Nicely smoked and good flavor but I prefer my brisket stand up/sliced.

Other Fare:

• Corn Pudding - OMG!
   
• Greens - OMG!
• Pineapple Hot Dish - OMG!
• Banana Pudding - OMG!

Overall - biggest compliment I can give is now whenever I think of any of these 4 dishes I will be thinking of Q BBQ's!!!

Atmosphere:

This place has been commercialized and is ready for franchising. On a corner space of a strip mall. Has lots of marketing material with a cute logo and hats and shirts with funny sayings. Inside has a nice/open feel to it with the AC cranking - yay! Lots of huge competition Q trophies throughout the restaurant shows that someone here knows their stuff. That someone is Tuffy Stone and his right arm man who is a French trained professional chef. Together they know what they are doing. Qing is done on a Southern Pride which is visible from the dining area. Chef on site was extremely nice and great to talk to plus he knows his food and flavors.

ssweeney's Review of Q Barbeque‎

MAIN FARE

• Spare Rib - Best texture so far.  Good exterior texture, and the meat inside is fully rendered. Not oily or juicy, but moist and good.  Delicious! 
• Brisket - Although it is chopped and lightly sauced, the flavor of the beef comes shining through.  Actually, the application is more like a "dip" than a sauce, and just moistens and enhances the meat.
• Pulled Pork - Nicely cooked.  Good meat and they are using a dip that enhances the flavor.  Just enough dip is used to moisten without making the meat wet.  Good balance.

OTHER FARE

• Corn Pudding - Creamy and buttery.  Like the inside of a corn nugget, without the breading and deep frying. 
• Greens - A mixture of collard and mustard greens, with vinegar and nuts.  Excellent.
• Pineapple Hot Dish - Double-Boner says "pineapple bread pudding"... and that's not far off.
• Banana Pudding - The best banana pudding I've ever eaten.  Period. End of story.  It is like a banana mousse with homemade nilla wafers and a yummy crust.

ATMOSPHERE

• Strip center barbecue.  I am very skeptical when we first arrive. 
• Everything is Uber-Branded inside the store, from the menu, t-shirts, gift cards, all the way to the napkin holders on each table.  Still skeptical.
• Many of Tuffy's ribbons and trophies are on display.  Still skeptical.
• Very nice folks here...  They engage us in conversation, ask us questions, and share what they do at Q.
• The space inside is nice and comfortable.  Mixed layout with some bar-style seating, tables, and booths.
• Two Southern Pride smokers are prominently displayed behind the service counter.
