Smoke Daddy’s Review of Q Barbeque
MAIN FARE
- Spare Rib – Best texture so far. Good exterior texture, and the meat inside is fully rendered. Not oily or juicy, but moist and good. Delicious!
- Brisket – Although it is chopped and lightly sauced, the flavor of the beef comes shining through. Actually, the application is more like a "dip" than a sauce, and just moistens and enhances the meat.
- Pulled Pork – Nicely cooked. Good meat and they are using a dip that enhances the flavor. Just enough dip is used to moisten without making the meat wet. Good balance.
OTHER FARE
- Corn Pudding – Creamy and buttery. Like the inside of a corn nugget, without the breading and deep frying.
- Greens – A mixture of collard and mustard greens, with vinegar and nuts. Excellent.
- Pineapple Hot Dish – Double-Boner says "pineapple bread pudding"… and that’s not far off.
- Banana Pudding – The best banana pudding I’ve ever eaten. Period. End of story. It is like a banana mousse with homemade nilla wafers and a yummy crust.
ATMOSPHERE
- Strip center barbecue. I am very skeptical when we first arrive.
- Everything is Uber-Branded inside the store, from the menu, t-shirts, gift cards, all the way to the napkin holders on each table. Still skeptical.
- Many of Tuffy’s ribbons and trophies are on display. Still skeptical.
- Very nice folks here… They engage us in conversation, ask us questions, and share what they do at Q.
- The space inside is nice and comfortable. Mixed layout with some bar-style seating, tables, and booths.
- Two Southern Pride smokers are prominently displayed behind the service counter.
