Two 2 Meat Platter. Tasty
Raymond R.

Excellent barbecue. Super friendly staff. My favorites are the sliced brisket and pulled pork. Sides are solid. There's also a good variety of different style sauces from classic Midwestern thick and tangy, Carolina mustard, and vinegar based.

Sheeeeeshhhh. Talk about a good barbecue restaurant. I had a little bit of everything and my meal was fantastic. The sauces are really good too. The employees were helpful and friendly. Arizona was in need of a quality barbecue place like this. Check it out for yourself!

Delicious slow-smoked pulled pork is always a great bet. Today's was as superb as always. Great food, using only the highest quality ingredients, friendly professional service- where even the pit boss always says hello, clean, and consistent. We've been regulars here for years. Never anything but complete satisfaction. Consistently seeing smiling kiddos enjoying their meals is simply bonus. It's a great place for families.

Friendly service, great food, and comfortable family atmosphere. I was with a group of work colleagues and we loved the lunch options. Personally the brisket sandwich was amazing! My Lunch partners chose the brisket platter, and the pulled pork sandwich. Everyone Loved their choices. Also it is rare that I enjoy coleslaw that isn't my mom's but I will say this slaw was really good. We all loved the mac and cheese as well. My coworker didn't care for the baked beans but that may have been a matter of seasoning choice for her... not of taste as a whole. Next time I am back in town we will stop again! ( I will try the beans for myself for that assessment)

PERFECT BRISKET!!

Brisket was outstanding -slap yo mama good -tender you can cut it with a fork -without a doubt best I've ever had. Cornbread is spot on and the coleslaw-I'm not normally a fan -is spectacular. No need to look any further because you found your final BBQ JOINT. NO NEED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER. OUTSTANDING RIGHT HERE I GUESS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. And the service is AMAZINGLY friendly!!!

Hello Yelp Followers: I am reviewing NakedQ BBQ today. First, I would like to say, if you follow my Yelp reviews, you know how hard it is to get a 5-Star rating from me. But, NakedQ BBQ has achieved that. First, let me set the stage: I had not heard of them. I coincidentally parked my car in a strip mall parking lot to run an errand and smelled their smoker when I got out of my car. I knew I had to explore them because the aroma was wonderful. They did not expect me. I walked in and indicated to staff it was my first time there. Everyone (and I mean everyone) thanked me for coming in, helped me with the menu and told me about the options based on my desire which was the following: I want to take home some fork-tender meat, what do you recommend, the pork or the brisket? I was offered a sample of both to help me make up my mind. After tasting the samples, I left with a one-pound container of EACH meat. They were both equally fabulous for the following reasons: The Pork: The pork was absolutely succulent with a wonderful vinegar sauce that was just tangy enough and a great compliment to the pork itself. The pork was so tender it melted in your mouth when you chewed it. This definitely passed the "tender" test for me. The outer smoke rim on the meat was about 1/4", and here and there in the to go container was a piece of pork that had a little crust on it which, if you love barbecue you know that is what everyone fights over! The Brisket: The brisket can be ordered sliced or pulled/diced. Based on my request for "fork tender" it was recommended that my order be pulled/diced. Excellent choice. If you are a barbecue meat lover you know brisket can be dry without sauce. I feel the true test of any barbecued meat is if it is tender AND moist without any sauce. The sauce simply makes it better but should not be the "juice" of the meat. Again, I found the brisket tender, moist and delicious. The smoke ring on this meat was also about 1/4". Neither meat was overly smoky tasting - just enough which I prefer. The Sauces: There are several choices for sauces including spicy, sweet, honey mustard and the vinegar sauce which the pulled pork is served in. Since staff recommended each sauce for different reasons, I took a to go container of each type and after I got home tried them with both the pork and the brisket. There is no way I could have selected one. The spicy sauce is wonderful if you are a spice fan, the heat is there but not overwhelming. The sweet sauce is very unique even a little smoky but not overly sweet. Staff recommended I combine the spicy and sweet sauces turning out a wonderful combination. For me, combining these two was the winner! Of Note: The restaurant was very clean. Staff at this location were all kind, enthusiastic and professional. You can tell they all believed in the quality of their products, enjoyed what they did, and wanted to ensure their customers were happy. This is becoming a rare combination to find anymore. Good job NakedQ BBQ team! I highly recommend you try NakedQ BBQ if you are a barbecue pulled pork and/or brisket fan. I can only imagine their other meats are fantastic as well, but when it comes to barbecue, I am a pork/brisket girl. The next time I go (and there will be a next time), I will stay and "sit down" to eat so I can try their sides. Therefore, watch for an updated review of this location from me in the future. Enjoy!

Menu and the awesome staff team

Great BBQ spot! Tried the 2-meat platter with sliced brisket and ribs--ribs were juicy and tender, so bomb! Brisket was a bit tough but still tasty. If you like a spicy/tangy kick, the Carolina slaw is a must--one of the staff even offered us a sample first since it's a unique flavor. Loved it! They had two BBQ sauces (original and spicy); both were good but pretty similar-wish the spicy had more heat and the original more flavor. Super friendly staff all around. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Arizona!

No complaints here! Everything was moist and perfect! Will absolutely be ordering again!

Walking distance from Aiden hotel! So good! Definitely a must. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Clean. Food was delicious and quickly served.

Chopped brisket Sandwich
David M.

Solid Q. Great service! You your employees are outstanding kind and engaged. Your prices are crazy good. The in aside was super clean and bright. We had chopped brisket sandos with tater salad. My preference would have been to have a little more of the fat is flavor on mine. I generally like mine with just the rub. I ended up adding the tasty sauce to get the moisture to my liking. Maybe next time I'll see if I can have you "fatten up" my brisket next time. You bet there will be a next time.

Prime rib is only Friday nights. And beef ribs only Saturday night. Does not advertise it. There $20 a platter with 2 sides. They do not advertise any 8f the specials. I think Monday's are bbq pork sandwiches for $5

Not your average dive bar... really great food excellent service and really cool ambience. This is…read moremy new favorite hangout in Scottsdale. Jessica, my waitress was really awesome and very friendly and helped me pick out some really great things on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries. The German pretzel bites with beer, cheese and the churros with ice cream and a few beers and I have to say the prices are excellent and the food is incredibly good and I don't say that lightning most dive bars are just good for the ambience and a few cheap drinks. This place is great all around. Also, their patio area is dog friendly, so I was able to bring my little furry friend with me and he hung out and laid down near the table. Another bonus.

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

Inside, the vibe is excellent and cleaner than my search history. Contrary to some of the other reviews I've read, my service was incredibly fast and efficient. To be fair, we walked in well after the lunch rush, but the staff was still totally on top of it. As for the food, my friends ordered The Club and The Grinder, and both absolutely loved them. I went with the Moroccan Turkey, and oh my god, I loved everything about it. The standout players were definitely the Greek yogurt sauce and that red wine vinaigrette. Absolutely incredible flavor combo. That said... unless my friends and I have suddenly hit a massive growth spurt, the portions could definitely be a bit larger for what you're paying. We're in Scottsdale, not a micro-portion tasting menu in Paris. Feed us, ChopShop! The real plot twist of the meal was the BBQ potato chips. I thought they were absolute perfection. However, they caused a full-on culinary debate in our group. They lean pretty sweet and have this distinct Indian-spice vibe going on. If you're expecting standard backyard-barbecue Lays, you're going to be confused. Half the table was questioning their entire existence, while I was busy hoarding the bag. Come for the great food and healthy atmosphere, just maybe grab a snack beforehand if you're starving--and prepare your palate for the chip controversy.
