A word from Chicago q
Chicago q is the modern urban BBq experience. What makes q so good? It could be our savory North Carolina BBq rubs tirelessly mastered by ‘BBQ Pitmaster’ and Chef Partner Lee Ann Whippin. Lee Ann earned her place in the BBq hall-of-fame with countless accolades often featured on TLC’s BBQ
…
Pitmasters and the Food Network. Our Chef Partner takes BBq seriously. And at q, we don’t make promises we can’t keep and we don’t cut corners. We cook slow-and-low. Before the sun rises, we are smoking our signature Kobe brisket in our wood burning smokers to get the most deliciousness you’ve ever tasted. Everything is made from scratch. We use the highest quality of meats.
Combine that with our rubs and service that bursts with southern hospitality in a modern ambiance and you have the greatest BBq place in Chicago.
We are uncomplicated, unpretentious and down-right mouth-watering. Great BBq is a passion, not a past-time. Chicago q knows BBq.

The server was more interested in leaving his shift at 1:30 on a Friday afternoon than he was in serving us. Beautiful room. Fried green tomatoes were overdone and tough.

Chicago Q's decor and environment was very southern/creole, very warm and inviting. The food was absolutely divine. All the meats (we had them all) were had a rich smokey taste and just melted in your mouth. The hush puppies were also delicious. The 2 types of corn bread were both out of this world and I could not stop eating.
All and all a great experience and Chicago Q is now on my go to restaurant list when I have family and friends in town.

Chicago q is a great place to go whether you've got a special occasion coming up, or you just want to meet up for a meal and drinks with friends. With the white painted wood walls, comfy leather chairs, tall ceilings, and hard-wood floors, it feels like you're in a beautiful, yet cozy, southern mansion. The food is amazing. They give you mountains of complimentary house-made pickles and bbq chips, and trying not to fill up on them is a challenge. I had the pulled pork sandwich, and the amount of delicious, melt-in-your-mouth meat was enough to go around to all four of us! They have a decent drink list, if you want to use any of your precious stomach space for alcohol. The best bonus is the upstairs loungey area with sofas and a giant tv.

I would consider Chicago q as a "high end" BBQ establishment. That might seem counter intuitive, but it works. This is not to imply it is pricey, it isn't, but it is much more refined than the BBQ places I grew to know and love in Texas. The service was precise and timely without being overly attentive. The food was top shelf across the board, although we all felt the key lime pie was not as tart as we would have liked. We were visiting Chicago and would recommend Chicago q to anyone who is in the area. Easy to get to from the Red line or a nice easy walk from most Mag Mile locations. Will surely go back when visitng Chicago the next time.

Took a group of friends from the suburbs and it was enjoyed by all. We started with the hush puppies, and we all raved, especially about the chipotle sauce to dip them in. We got two orders and they were gone instantly. I had the BBQ flight appetizer, and it was more than enough for a meal since I also ordered the Mac & cheese side. The flight of BBQ came with honey corn bread, which was delicious. You have a choice of sauces that come table side. I combined the sweet sauce with the mustard sauce, that combo worked for me! Mac & cheese, what can I say, it was terrific. Table mates all had either what I had or the pulled pork sandwich, and everyone's mouths' were so full a word was not spoken.
All & all, everyone enjoyed the food very much

Food was great for a group at lunch, BUT the server was pretty much absent the whole time. Not sure if he was training someone or what, but the service was VERY poor.
