"Food and service were just OK. There are better BBQ options in the city. If you just want to nibble and have margaritas, it will fit the bill."

"What I enjoyed most about Q's was the drink I had. Don't remember the full name but it was called (?) Lemonade. One of their specialty drinks!! A slightly larger glass and it would have been perfect!!!! Food prices were also very reasonable. May or may not return to this eatery."

"Saw Q on the food network so I took my girlfriend there for lunch for her birthday and I can say only great things about this place. The building itself was cute and quiet but the food and drinks are the reason I cant wait to go back! She hadboth the ribs and I tried the Q burrito, both of which I would get again."

"We came for a birthday dinner and we weren't disappointed. Food was great, our server was knowledgeable and attentive, and there was plenty of room for a group of 6 of us. The atmosphere was great! Most restaurants in Olde City are stuffy and trendy, but Q's gave a very casual and warm atmosphere that was perfect for the occasion."

"The service was great and the food was to die for. I had the ribs, briskett and collard greens. The ribs and briskett were tender and had a great flavor. The collards melted in my mouth. I have already recommended Q BBQ to several of my friends and I will definitely be making a return trip."

"The food at Q BBQ and Tequlia was alright, but not good enough to make up for the terrible service. Our server took 15 minutes to bring water to the table, and even then she only brought one glass to a table for two. She brought two family-style appetizers to the table with no saucers or extra napkins. The kitchen is slow; after finishing our soup and salad, it took them 45 minutes to bring our entrees. The worst part is that at no time did our server stop by to check on us and refill our glasses and clear empty plates. My friend asked her to bring salad dressing on the side, and the server never brought it. We also asked that our second round of margaritas arrive with the entree, and instead she dropped them off 30 minutes before."
