Initial Q

Excellent experience! Enjoyed every minute of it. Super friendly service, most delicious food, special ambience. Can't wait to go there again, soon!

Be sure to reade the menu, pricing is NOT clear at all.

We enjoyed our valentine evening dinner. Pork rinds with 4 different sauces were served before the meal. Unique choices of meat and sides . Friendly, efficient and happy waitress. Delicious Krispy Kreme bread pudding dessert. Great place to experience something different!

I have to admit I really didn't know what to expect. The menu looked really good, but the website made me think it was more of a bar. Then when we walked in it has a bar, but that isn't the focal point. More the look of a modern diner. Love how they have a menu, but also BBQ. We got few apps and something off of each of the menus. Top notch on both parts. They do what they do best and its shows!! We can't wait to come back and try the brunch menu! A place we would return for date night and feel paying a sitter was worth it, but also could bring our kids along and not feel like we are out of place. Food is rated 10 out of 10. Waitress was on point, never felt like you needed or ever waited for her. Food came out quick, but not too quick. Well done!

Very modern upscale fun for serious date nights. Great service

Overall I high recommend!!! The ambiance, menu and concept is really neat. Everything we tried was good, especially the cream corn and the dessert with KK doughnuts - AMAZING!!! I did think it was a little pricey overall but will be back for sure!!!

We enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back! We had a great experience!

We really enjoyed our first time at Initial Q. We split a platter and took a bunch home for lunch the next day. The food is delicious and the waitress told us that there is a bowling alley under the restaurant...cool

Great food and great service from Mia!

We went during restaurant week and decided to order off of that menu. Everything we got was really good! The white chocolate krispy kreme bread pudding is a must have.

Great service and delicious food! The portions are hearty and the meals are very affordable. The krispy kreme bread pudding is to die for and hats off to the person who came up with that recipe!! It was one of the best desserts I've ever had in my 51 years of life. The GM Katrina is a sweetheart and I can't wait to be able to come and hear live music on the weekends. Thanks for coming to Sparkle City.

Great experience all around. We LOVE bbq and we felt this restaurant had a unique twist to our favorites. We drove from out of town to try it out and it did not disappoint. I have already recommended Initial Q to so many friends after our experience.

Unique combinations that were tasty. Good music and service.

Great food!

Main course and sides are great. However the bread pudding and triple chocolate torte are absolutely amazing!

Always great food and service. Live music often is a plus.

Absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent food and atmosphere. We'll be back for sure.

We have eaten here many times. Today’s experience was very disappointing. The music was way too loud; it was a different person from the times before we visited. The service was bad. Our server spent most of his time in the bar making drinks. We had to ask several times for more coffee and for the condiments we needed for our food. I hope this will not continue or we will not continue us to eat here.

Waiter was awesome

Very tasty and good service. I don’t think it’s going to blow anyone away, in terms of originality, but the food is very high quality, and the servers are friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back.

Everyone’s food was very good no complaints there but very small portions which made it overpriced. Drinks overpriced too!

The food was delicious, fantastic atmosphere, wonderful service.

Great food and great Service.

Interesting new restaurant and worth a visit. Specialty drinks cost about the same as an entree, so be careful. Food and service were excellent; ambiance OK but booths behind wall do not get the full experience, especially when there's live music.

Food was good. Was not crazy about the corn side dish. The house smoked sausage was great as well as the shrimp.

Our waitress was fantastic, she gave us our space and checked in with us the right amount. It was our first time dining at the restaurant and she made excellent recommendations which we thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely go back and believe it makes a great place for couple dinners or group dinners.

Sunday Brunch! Delicious meal, great service and good music. We will be back.

Highly recommend

Delicious filet, it was so very tender!! Amazing. This was our second visit, can't wait to go again to try something new!!

The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff is very attentive. The Krispy Kreme bread pudding is probably the best I have tasted!! It really is a great restaurant to check out!

Amazing service and food. Good place to brunch with your girlfriends

Outstanding restaurant. The food was great and the service was outstanding. Great place. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful meal with my wife. She had the brisket and I had the burnt ends. Delicious! Waitress was friendly and helpful.

The sides and apps are fantastic and the service was top-notch. This place is a must if you’re in downtown Spartanburg.

Great meal. Great service. Definitely worth going to

The food was amazing!! I got the brisket, brussel sprouts, and mac and cheese and it was very delicious. Our waitress was great as well she checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay.Will definetely be returning

My wife & I enjoyed our meal & overall dining experience. Excellent bar with an unexpected bourbon selection. The 4 staff with whom we interacted we're outstanding. We'll be back!

We enjoyed sitting outside and getting the platter with 4 selections. Food was wonderful; yet the flies were a nuisance. Maybe something to keep flies away from food would be nice. Really enjoyed the music! We will be back!

This was our first time eating here. We had Sunday brunch. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and social distancing was above the standard. We will definitely be back!
