I love Naked Q BBQ! Everything I have had here has been packed with flavor and has been fresh! When entering you order at the front and tell the employees what you want. They usually have a vegetable of the day. The corn bread tastes amazing here! We love all of the meat here! We have tried all of them over the past two years of living around the area. Every side is so good! We haven't been disappointed! Their teas are always fresh and so good! We love the different flavors. It really gives it that southern feel to it! The portion sizes are great and can be taken home for another meal! The owner is so nice and the staff are also. When holidays come around we usually order a day ahead of time! It's decorated like a BBQ place. read more

Oren, The ribs use to be fall off the bone tender. I've been a rib customer ever since you opened the bell rd location. Lately the ribs are not consistent. I think the cooks are not using your process. read more

Awesome service great food nice indoor dinning area. Great fast and easy place to get that great quality bbq that taste homemade

Ok, I mean it's not Texas BBQ by any means, but it's not horrible. The meat was dryer than Texas BBQ, I had to use bbq sauce that I typically wouldn't use. The Mac was good, the beans were alright, the banana pudding was banana pudding. The pickles seem to be homemade and alright. If I didn't have yummy Texas BBQ to compare it to, I'd probably increase my rating. I always want really good, enthusiastic service, but I didn't get it. They just looked at me, blinking, meanwhile I was waiting for a greeting. read more

We decided to pick up a full rack of their ribs for dinner. They were reasonably priced and ready on time. The meat easily fell off the bone, which is just the way I like them. Plus I honestly didn't need to add any sauce as the flavor was perfect as it was. Although this location is a little further than I'd prefer, the ribs were great. read more

This is one of my favorite BBQ places but my last visit brought up an issue. Naked serves their meat without sauce so you can decide how much to add. This is only true if you dine in but there is a limit on the amount of sauce for take out. The company stated it is to prevent waste but even if you ask for more they have a set of rules. 1 cup (2oz) per sandwich, 2 per platter, and 3-4 per pound of meat. Cashiers will throw in 1 or 2 extra cups if requested! I have been told you can buy a bottle but that was not offered on my visit. For some this is not an issue but if you like sauce it is something to be aware of. read more

Pretty mediocre BBQ for the most part. The ribs aren't terrible, but the rest was relatively bland.

Guy in the back was extremely rude brisket dry as can be food barely even warm very disappointing .Been once before total different experience read more

Naked Q BBQ - Dry brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a lesson on how not to serve bbq. The chicken was dry. The brisket had more fat on it than meat and protein. The side of broccoli was cold and brown. There was no smoke taste in any of the meat. No bbq flavor in the beans. Very disappointing experience. Not even any smoke rings on the meat. read more

Meats are moist and tender and seasoned perfectly. Portions are generous and the sides are all great. This is my favorite BBQ place and it puts many others to shame! read more

Excellent food and great service. Had the brisket which was tender enough to cut with a fork. Highly recommend this place!

Outstanding from the moment I walked in the door. The staff greeted me with smiles and a hello like I was the only person there even though all but two tables were full and there were a steady stream of take out orders being picked up. The guests leaving were all getting a "have a great afternoon" as they left. Taste and quality of food...Fantastic. Melt in the mouth brisket packed with flavor and the dry rub used was perfectly layered on. Ribs outstanding. Highly recommend stopping in to enjoy delicious BBQ. read more

Incredible brisket. Mouth watering! The pulled pork was great as well but not as good as the brisket. Honestly all-around great bbq. The sides not as great, had the Carolina slaw which was an unusual flavor. Potato salad needs a little extra spice, but great consistency, the corn bread was great. read more

Well, this was an unexpected surprise. Yelp led me here for dinner last Friday night as I'm always interested in a good bbq restaurant. Naked BBQ is located very close to I-17 on the end cap of a strip center with parking out front. Inside, it's a counter service restaurant with a smallish dining area next to a self serve drink fountain. Two bbq sauces are also available there. A sweet one and a spicy one. I asked for a two meat platter with two sides for $16. I chose sliced brisket and pulled chicken with beans and potato salad. The platter also came with some cornbread and is prepared in front of you as it is selected. Immediately, I noticed the very generous serving sizes of everything on the platter. It was a lot of food and a steal for $16. The brisket was moist cut (with fat) and had a nice bark on it. It was tasty and tender with good flavor. The pulled chicken was also flavorful and tender and with some of the sweet sauce on top delicious. I also tried some of the spicy sauce and found it to be only slightly spicy so I enjoyed it also on the meats. The baked beans had some brisket in them (a plus) and were in a savory broth. I enjoyed them. Finally the potato salad was served cool and while mayo based also had a little bit of mustard and along with the other ingredients was quite good tasting too. With the moist cornbread, I could find no fault with this meal. My only very slight criticism (no stars deducted) is that I thought both bbq sauces while flavorful were a little bit runny. I would have liked more body to them however I am nitpicking. This meal was a 4+ and when I add the price and large serving sizes, I must give a 5 here. This is an excellent BBQ restaurant! read more

A two meat platter costs $17.38 which is what I ordered. I decided to try their brisket (you can either get this sliced or chopped) and jalepeno hot link along with two orders of mac n cheese since a platter already comes with one cornbread. They have a vegetable of the day side but I decided against it since they weren't making one that I liked. This two meat platter is more than enough for me to get full. The only thing I didn't finish is half of a sliced brisket. I have to say that I liked the jalepeno hot links the most even though it wasn't spicy at all. They have spicy and sweet BBQ sauce too. The entire meal was absolutely delicious. read more

Different types of shredded meats. Very tasty and service was good. I would go more often if they were closer to Sun City.

Never had smoked turkey before so gave their Thanksgiving dinner a try this year. The turkey was one of the best we've ever had and the whole dinner was fantastic. It was a real bargain and they even carried out and loaded in the car. We enjoy them all year long but never imagined this could be so good. These guys are just the best! read more

Had twice through delivery service. First time was much better. This is probably the most bland BBQ in the valley. I guess it matches the name. I would order Famous Dave's before I order from here again. Grew up in Texas and am a big fan of BBQ in general. Ain't no heart or soul in this cooking, I guess the reasonable prices reflect that. For cheap Q that's not going to break the bank, thumbs up. Maybe you'll like it a lot better than I did. Worth a try for the price. $13 for one meat and 2 sides... Cheers read more

Small strip mall spot, terrible service, bbq was ok, cornbread was not good & mac n cheese was ok.

Was excited to have bbq for our anniversary. It was dry, and so bland! Not one lick of seasoning..no salt or pepper. The bbq sauce (got spicy) was just as flavorless. And don't get me started on whatever this is that they called Mac n Cheese. Legit tasted like dry butter noodles. Highly disappointed and will not be going back, ever. read more

I'd put up the smoked meats here against anywhere else in the valley. Even those 'Lil' places. The Jalapeño hot links are 100 out of 10! All the other meats, 5/5. The sandwiches on the other had are 2/5. Meat on a bun is not a 'sandwich'. To be a sandwich requires condiments and fixins' - maybe an onion ring, slaw, cheese, greens, onions, a combination of meats......anything other than just meat on a bun. I may still go for a beef rib at the other place on a Friday or Saturday. Other than that, this is my 'go to' for BBQ. read more

The manager cares about good service, and it shows... the Combo taste very good, and portion & prices were also better than the competition... read more

Driving by, I decided to stop and grab something to go! It smelt delicious. Smoked Bbq is one of my favorites. Easy to order. Decided on a half rack of ribs. The sauce comes on the side. 5 different kinds! Ribs were meaty! They could have been more tender though, like fall off the bone as soon as you bite in. Also the Rib rub was pretty ligjht. I did like the price though. Very affordable for not doing the base of the work. When I got home, I added seasonings and cooked them a little longer Yummy for my tummy! I'll try pulled pork or brisket next time. read more

Tried the Naked BBQ in Scottsdale a few weeks ago and had the opportunity to try the Bell Road location today. Ordered the sliced brisket and ribs, green beans and potato salad. Brisket and ribs were tasty and tender. I liked the potato salad much better than the tangy slaw. Green beans were edible, but probably pass on that next time. Restaurant is smal. Food is good and at the end of the day, once you get your order, you are on your own at the self service area. read more

This place was a good spot for BBQ. The bbq meat was well-cooked and tender. The food has lots options and excellent men. Not so pricey and they have generous portions. We had great dinner there. The meat on the baby back ribs falls off the bone pretty easily and the brisket sandwich was amazing, filled meat and sauces. The sides were fantastic and so delicious. Nice ordering counter and friendly staff. The interior setting was cool. Nice ambiance and comfortable place to eat. read more

Brisket is moist and perfect flavor, turkey is juicy and not to chewy, Mac and cheese is okay with the cheese and black pepper, ranch style beans carry the flavor from the other pieces of meat. Service was quick during my lunch break. The place is always clean and smells great every time I've come. Surprised it's not busier during this time of day. read more

Naked Q BBQ - Sliced Brisket turkey Two Meat Platter Mac And Cheese Beans - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Aloha Hawaiians, Yesterday I ordered DoorDash from this place. I had a two meat platter of pulled brisket and pork. I also ordered the pulled chicken platter. Platters come with two sides and cornbread. The food was delicious. I am literally on my chair chanting Po-ta-to salad. It was that good I'm about to order another vat of it today. The pulled chicken catches my fancy this go around so tender so delicious and smokey, I almost forgot the sauce. Cowboys and gals giddy up for this authentic bbq experience. This is the location on Bell. Go early and make sure you're hungry. Once you're done you're gonna say damn I want more of something you just ate. For me it was potato salad and corn bread. read more

Being from Texas I judge BBQ a little differently. The customer service was amazing. The brisket was on the dry side and for ME was on the more smoky side. The ribs were good. Will I go back maybe read more

I feel like the odd man out here, but I've been here four times for lunch and every time was plainly a bad meal, especially considering the price. Pros: Very very nice employees- friendly and they check in to make sure the food is okay fast!- Can be in and out in 10 minutes reliably. Some BBQ sauces are kept in a warmer, very nice detail Cons: Meats all come out at room temp or slightly cooler Bland sides- watery beans, unsalted potato salad, and the cornbread is creatively repelling Meats are bone dry - like seriously, check the picture of my brisket today. The fat cap looks to be rendered properly, but it was practically like eating jerky The BBQ sauces all have a kind of unique signature flavor which are sort of not great... one has an overwhelming molasses flavor, another has a chalky/gritty mouth feel and is bitter, etc. Expensive- BBQ is an expensive food, but for what they pack I think Dickie's may even be better here... read more

Great food, friendly service...best brisket in Arizona! As the name implies, it's so good it doesn't need sauce.

Omg! I'm obsessed with the food here! Be sure to double your order, because you're gonna wake up in the middle of the night, craving the amazing and perfectly seasoned potato salad, the thick and creamy macaroni and cheese. The tenderness of the mead, will definitely have you drooling on your pillow case. I've only ordered this though door dash (10 times) so I can't comment on the atmosphere. But Daymn... the food is "slap ur mama good!" read more

Naked Q BBQ - Pulled pork One Meat Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So...my buddy is in town, and the original plan was to head down to another BBQ spot in town, BUT, he had his kid with him, plus it was getting around noon and we knew that it would be packed. We called an audible and decided to come here instead. I had been here half a dozen times before, and it has always been solid. Maybe not AS good as our original destination, but this place was A. Way closer. B. Costs less. C. Still quality smoked meats. D. Hadn't been here in a year or so, and was interested to see if it was still as good as I had remembered. We pulled up, walked in and were immediately greeted by a smiling cashier, friendly guy who took our order, and another friendly guy who was dishing out the meats. I went with a 2 meat plate, sliced brisket and burnt ends (not on the menu....sometimes they have them, sometimes they dont....luckily today, they did...score!) for my meats, and mac and cheese and beans for my sides. Comes with a little cornbread muffin, too. Took my tray and sat down. Here is how it was................ Burnt Ends- Fantastic! Great bark, tender little morsels of brisket. So tasty! Best choice they have (sometimes have)! Brisket- Delicious, again! Great smoke ring, moist and tender. Great bark. 2 fat pieces! Mac and Cheese- Tasty! Could have been a tad warmer, but it was still good. Spiral pasta so the cheese sauce really sticks to it. Beans- Mix of 2 different beans from what I could tell. Good sauce, kind of a cross between a "ranch bean" and a "baked bean". Not super sweet, but hearty. Peach Pie- Hell of a dessert! This thing is more peach cobbler (crust on top, not all the way down), but its 100% delicious! It's a steal at only $2.50, too! I would come here just to order a couple of these things to go. The meal today was GREAT! Out the door with a 2 meat, 2 side plate WITH dessert for less than $20.00! Service was GREAT! Will definitely be back, soon! read more

Found Naked bbq on Yelp. I wouldn't do anything different about Naked bbq other than what is currently being done. The lady working at the cash register who is likely the owner greeted us, asked if it was our first time and then broke down the entire menu down for us with nothing but super useful information. Brisket smoked 15 hours, best deal if you want to try things and want sides is the two meat platter, 3 kinds of tea, sweet, naked, and watermelon, meat by the pound can be by the half pound, and all meats served naked so you can taste the time and love that's gone into them. There are also various bbq sauces available. The restaurant looks great and the bathroom was clean and nice. I was already semi full from breakfast at the hotel, but I got a half a pound of brisket, bc I love brisket no matter how full I am. The brisket for PERFECT for how I like it. Smoked and tender with a little fat on top to pack some flavor and juiciness into it. Salt and pepper on the top. 5 stars in my opinion. The price makes it even better at a very reasonable $20 per pound. If I lived here, I could see stopping here for a half pound of brisket or a brisket sandwich once a week. It also comes with onions and pickles if you like. There are also specials each day that vary depending on the day, call ahead if you are curious. The two meat plate with two sides and cornbread for $15, another great value. The ribs were my favorite from the plate and were smoky and porky. The sweet tea was super sweet, but great combined with some of the watermelon tea! We stopped on the way up to Sedona from Phoenix and we plan to stop on the way back. If it is closed, we will go to one of the other locations. I walked in with a smile on anticipation of some smoked brisket and I walked out with a smile from my satisfaction from the meal. I was impressed with the food and grateful for the level of service and the entire experience. read more
