I have been driving past this place for over a year, and I have always wanted to try something. Today I did; a smoked turkey sandwich with a side of mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. I stopped and ordered carry out, which was finished within seven minutes. The people were friendly and seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. They also had cupcakes, which were awesome! The BBQ is possibly the best I have ever had, and I'm so glad I finally stopped in. I'll be ordering out again soon! Highly recommend!!!

We visited here on our trip to Cincinnati and it was the best dinner we had on our trip. I am originally from SC and I know good BBQ. This was probably the best we ever had.

Great bones and amazing baked beans! Cool atmosphere, spinning vinyl, and live musicians at times. If you like or love Q, you've got to go!
