“Absolutely amazing and great prices! Wings are great and the pulled pork sandwich was great.”
“Absolutely loved it here. Tried the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and it was next level — super crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The heat options are legit, and the slaw + pickles on that soft brioche bun brought it all together. Also tried the chopped chicken salad and was honestly surprised how fresh and smoky it was. Great portion too. Bonus points for the solid beer selection. Staff was friendly, the vibe was casual but clean, and everything came out fast. Definitely worth the visit if you’re into real BBQ and bold flavors.”
“Updated - cod sandwich is still one of the best items on the menu, but only for a limited time! --- Big fan of the cod and turkey! The beans and brisket are also top-notch.”
“Normally I don’t post, but I strongly felt the need to after visiting Q-Bbq in oak park il. Today. I’ve been going to this restaurant on and off for the last five years now. I’ve had my fair share of complaints about the food itself, but nothing that warrants me to leave a review. Until today!! I regularly order the burnt end brisket sandwich and today was no different only today I noticed a significant increase in price($12-$16) and after getting home (I live within 5 mins of proximity) I immediately noticed the bun was extremely hard. After taking a bite I can taste the hardness of the bun which prompted me to look underneath and noticed the bread was molding. It’s very clear and apparent which I find it hard to believe the workers did not notice. I discarded the sandwich in the trash and found myself minus $18 and still hungry. Q-bbq in Oak Park needs to do better. Very disappointed. Will not return.”
“All of the meats were dry, and doused in pepper or some type of sweet rub that is overbearing. I want to say we got a bad batch but we had 5 meats so that can’t be it. The ribs looked like a mutation of something and tasted burnt. The best part was honestly the pickles.”
“Everything is delicious, don't forget a side of Brussel sprouts”
“This place was sooooo good! Got the Memphis wings, and the brisket burnt ends slider (it was a lower priced alternative to the full brisket, since my main item was the wings) Sweet and spicy sauces on the table were great. Fries were great, especially w the aioli sauce that came w the brisket EDIT: disappointed they’ve increased the price of the brisket slider. Why not just have 1 slider for $6? Especially in this inflation economy”
“It was a bit cool inside but we were able to eat outside. Cool, quaint neighborhood. The person who took our order also brought our food to us. Very friendly and accommodating. All the food was delicious.”
“We are from FL and have been looking for a good bbq place. Their food is exceptional especially the turkey. It melts in your mouth. Their portions are so big, one dinner really feeds two.”
