Walking in to Delta Q the smell was so good like a fresh campfire wood like smell. We were greeted by a very kind and pleasant lady who sat us down offered us something to drink and explained the menu to us. I had The four meat combo and I have to say it was the best barbecue I have ever had and I have had a lot of BBQ in the Midwest and in the East Coast. The smoked pulled chicken was so good moist with the right amount of smokiness and sauce on it The pulled pork is probably the best pulled pork I have ever had The brisket OMG so moist and tender slid right down your throat The ribs when you don't need to use your hands and the meat just falls off the bone with the fork you know you're getting the best of the best The potato salad was made in-house and the most freshest potato salad ever I hope one day I can just make a trip out here just to eat barbecue it's well worth it to anyone traveling on interstate 40 who wants a really good meal with great friendly service this is definitely the spot

I sniffed the air as I walked in trying to get a preview of what the food would be like. I was surprised that I didn't smell anything, not even when I walked inside. Mr. Jones appears to be an old school man focused on handling his business. There was no small talk, yet he exuded warmth. I ordered 2 sandwiches with slaw. They were prepped quickly. I walked the 7 minutes back home, excited to try the food. I was disappointed to see that there was no barbecue sauce. I guess it's more accurate to say I was disappointed that my expectations of seeing barbecue sauce covering the meat weren't met. I took a bite of the sandwich and it was ok. I wasn't impressed. I was still holding on to what I thought it should be like. The coleslaw elevated the taste. I went back to the diner a couple hours later and asked for sauce. He remembered me coming in. I didn't want the large bottle they sold and he found something to pour some in. BE AWARE, there may typically be a charge for a side of sauce, which is understandable to make business dollars stretch. I did not have to pay, thankfully since I don't carry cash. I was excited to pour the sauce all over the sandwich. The sauce is thin and tangy. It complements the slaw perfectly! I enjoyed the sandwich once I add the sauce. I can see why it gets rave reviews. There is indoor seating and memorabilia to peruse. I'm not sure if there are public restrooms or wifi. I love that there isn't a huge menu to choose from. You have two things to decide on: slaw and sauce. If you're a sauce person, REMEMBER to ask for it before you leave, as it is not on the sandwich. Which makes sense because it would make the bread soggy!

I dined in and for lunch ordered a half pulled pork and half sausage combination platter with a side of potato salad and baked beans. The sausage was sliced and slightly chard on the grill, overall pretty good. The pulled pork was nothing special, nor was their barbecue sauce. The potato salad was overwhelmingly crazy with mustard, and the baked beans, aside from the bits of pork in them, had to be simple, canned beans. Food was served fairly quick. IMO this is definitely not a noteworthy spot for a BBQ foodie.

What great customer service. I agree with other reviews that this is the best bbq. I also agree that you can smell the smoke before you see the restaurant. I had the rib plate and it was fantastic. The beans were great too. The surprise was the cold slaw. I was skeptical about apple in slaw but it was delicious. Unfortunately I don't get to this part often so I am not sure I will ever be back but I sure hope to. Great family and great food!!!

If it wasn't for the food, idk if I'd be back. Here on a Thursday at lunch. Empty parking lot, and I drive a Tesla so it was advertised to charge. An employee not driving an electric vehicle took up a spot- which can be frustrating if the entire parking lot has open spaces: Overall - servers are just rude. Just direct to the point, almost like you're an inconvenience. Additionally, two of them walked over to the pecan pie in the bar where I was sitting and grabbed one, laughed, went in the back and ate them. It felt like the employees were stealing it - Not 100a% sure but it felt weird. Then as they were in the back a line formed for to go orders and it felt like they were inconvenienced to ring up orders. Cash or card? Sides on bottom right. Yup whatcha want? No can't do that. It's an up charge. Cash or card! Hurry up (assumption). Maybe that's the culture so all good but perhaps a "hi how ya doing? What can I get ya?" I'll still be back but AI
