Q-bbq Chicago

Q is my go-to BBQ restaurant in the neighborhood. Their selection of meats is excellent (especially because they offer burnt ends and chopped brisket, two of my favorites). Sauces are quality and the sides are great (hush puppies are top notch). Definitely worth the money.

When people start off a sentence with , no offense, they are about to say something offensive. So, No offense, but I am really sad for you if you think this is the best BBQ in the city. so sad. Great spicy wing and friendly service but the sauces majorly missed the boat in my very knowledgeable opinion. Loved - Friendly service - Nice clean space where you don't feel like your eating on top of the table next to you! - Self service center for drinks, to go stuff and even a sink to wash sticky BBQ hands. Oh, and FREE pickles!!! - Spicy Wings - I don't like spicy food or really wings, but these were really meaty and had a great dry rub that I could not get enough of Okay - Coleslaw - good flavor but pretty basic - Brisket - Pulled pork - large potion - Bacon and Macaroni potato side (+1.99) - You pay the up charge and it counts as one of your two sides. Potatoes sadly are known to be a bit dry, and this one fit the stereotype. It was a big potion but had very little of the topping. Could be improved by scooping out a little of the tater and adding more macaroni. Come on, noodles are not much more expensive than potatoes! - 2 Q pups - or hush puppies are served with the plates, they were quite greasy and sadly on the cold side of luke warm. How can fried bread be so sad? Misses - Sauces - This is a huge miss at a BBQ place, and can make or break the meal. This place is supposedly award winning and I honestly haven no idea how with these sauces, they all seemed to literal. I love sugar, I eat cookies for breakfast at least once a week. Q BBQ's Sweet sauce was like eating raw sugar, the spicy sauce was like spicy sugar, the mustard sauce was good but it could be better with more complexity. I will be back for free pickles and spicy wings, but if you think this is the best BBQ in the city please venture out to Smoque and or Lillie Q's... or surprisingly even Old Crow Smokehouse if you can stomach being in Wrigleyville that long!
