    2 Meat Platter
    Tony F.

    I travel for work and eat BBQ in a lot of places. This place is excellent and it's affordable! Something you dont see in BBQ places. I had the 2 meat plate (hot link and sliced brisket) mac and cheese and creamy coleslaw. Everything was excellent the hot links had a lot of flavor and had the right amount of spice!! Brisket was excellent did not need a knife to cut. Mac and Cheese was cooked perfectly and cheesy. Coleslaw was creamy with great flavor!! Hubby had the turkey sandwich and potato salad. He loved it. Total was $35 with drinks.

    Holy moly, this Q's got gumption! Easily the best smoked ribs I've had in decades, and the moist brisket puts Rudy's to shame. The burnt ends were ensconced in flavor and the brisket was pull-apart-tender fire! If you're not dead, you need this in your life. 5 Star taste experience that rivals San Antonio's Pinkertons. Say hi to pit-master Nick, if you can.

    My first time here. My husband said, they have delicious ribs. Unfortunately, they've run out of ribs, so I took the Turkey breast but...it was too salty!!. The Mac&Cheese, on the contrary, was bland - it lacked salt and wasn't creamy enough. The slaw - I'd say it is milky, not really "creamy" as they advertise it. The potato salad and corn bread -Ok. Sorry, I was not impressed by food. The stuff was polite and the restaurant is clean.

    NakedQ is our new favorite BBQ place! Ribs are moist but not fatty with mild smoke. Same for the brisket. They call their sauce a Nashville style, gooey with a little bite, maybe halfway between a Kansas City and Carolina sauce. Very good. Mac and cheese is creamy but not the slop bomb as so many barbecue places. Corn bread and coleslaw were also good. The sandwich is a bit smaller than Rudy's, but still generous. Sides were definitely better than most barbecue joints. And the prices are super reasonable. You can eat here for about the same price as Chipotle. It has a fast casual atmosphere and the staff is friendly and on it to keep it clean. Homemade lemonade to top it off. A winner for sure.

    Short Review: DO NOT COME HERE. The food is not worthy to be called BBQ. As someone who has tasted great BBQ, this restaurant does not live up to the BBQ name. The meat is extremely dry; the sides are worse than canned versions, and the prices are not equivalent to the quality. Do not eat here unless you want low quality BBQ that tastes worse than getting premade at the grocery. Full Review: I planned to get BBQ here as the store is in a great location and has a nice exterior. However, this perception quickly faded as I entered the store. A BBQ restaurant which is meant to have the atmosphere of cooking and quickly serving customers instead felt dead with no activity. Employees were standing in conversation behind the counter rather than switching out meats and sides. I took a long time before I ordered and did not notice a single replacing of any meat or side. I ordered a two-meat plate with pulled pork and pulled chicken with sides of mac and cheese, beans, and cornbread which gave me a wide variety of the restaurant's quality. I also ordered 4 cups of the sweet BBQ sauce which costed $18.75. The meat (both pork and chicken) was served from covered warming trays built into the counter. This showed me that the meat was not fresh and had probably been sitting for many minutes. When I ate the meat, my suspicions were confirmed. The meat was extremely dry and had no smoke flavor and tasted like baked meat. The BBQ sauce was thin and lacking flavor requiring me to use store BBQ sauce to have any semblance of flavor. The sides were also subpar. The beans were dry, lacking flavor, and were significantly worse than baked beans sold in cans. The Mac and Cheese was mediocre and didn't taste much better than other fast-food locations. The cornbread was bland and lacking flavor. In all, as someone who enjoys BBQ, this restaurant was extremely subpar and a complete waste of money. Great location, great interior, subpar food. You would be better served buying a rotisserie chicken and a bottle of BBQ sauce at Safeway and still have money left to spare.

    Food was great. Meat quality on point. Staff was super friendly. Environment was nice and clean

    Looked at all the reviews before trying I'm a seasoned BBQ guy and I have tried a lot of different restaurants that claim to have good BBQ. My reaction.... It's alright. Nothing special. But happy to have had the opportunity to try. Service was friendly and patient. Restaurant decide is very typical for a chain company. Many TV for sports.

    Y'all when I tell you this has got to be the best bang for your buck. It was honestly a game changer. I had Texas bbq and honestly this did not disappoint for its price point. It was honestly really cheap and affordable for the amount of meat and quality you are getting. I want to say it was less than $20 for a 2 meat platter. The brisket was the fan favorite. You could get it sliced or pulled. Honestly I would skip the sausage and other meats and just get two serving of brisket if I had to do this again. This plate came with 2 sides of your choice, 2 meats and a cornbread. Honestly, if you are in the area or nearby convention. This is the place I would go. The ambiance when I first walked it reminded me of a chipotle with better meats and portion sizes. The team was really helpful and nice . And don't forget to stop by their sauce station before you sit. Their dine in and plenty of seats and wasn't pack.

    Brisket Sandwich
    Stephanie V.

    Great, friendly service last night for dinner while running errands. We had the clean restaurant almost to ourselves, while watching a lot of to-go and pick up orders go out the door. The spot is called Naked Q because the meats come out naked and the customer can choose the amount and flavor of sauce they would like to put on their meat at the condiment station. The types of sauces are: warmed sweet barbecue sauce, warmed spicy barbecue sauce, mustard barbecue sauce, Carolina vinegar sauce, and a dry rub shaker. This was our first time here and we were excited to see that they had two different styles of slaw on the menu. One is a spicy vinegar-based slaw and the other is a creamy slaw. We, of course chose the Carolina spicy, vinegar-style slaw and it was very good. The owner gave us a sample of the smoked turkey that had just come out of the smoker and it was so moist and yummy. We had already decided on our meats. I'm always a brisket girl and couldn't wait to try it. We ordered: - Fountain Drink - Unsweetened Tea - Two Meats Platter with choice of two sides and Cornbread - Pulled Pork, Sliced Brisket, Mac n Cheese, Carolina style Slaw - hubs ordered this, and his favorite was the pulled pork which he said was very good. This was a satisfying dinner and he finished everything on his tray. Our server asked if he would like the brisket sliced or chopped and he chose sliced. - Brisket Sandwich with choice of one side. I chose the Carolina style slaw. I loved the chopped brisket on my sandwich after saucing it. I thought the sweet barbecue sauce would be my favorite, but I actually really enjoyed the mustard barbecue sauce and the Carolina vinegar sauce. The bun was a little old and dry for me and I would've preferred a softer brioche or fresher bun, but once the sauce was poured on, it held up and remained sturdy. I loved the Carolina slaw. - Peach Pie - they kept our individual sized tin of peach pie warm until we were done eating our dinner and then brought it out with cold whipped cream on top. Hubs liked this pie and finished most of it. - Banana Pudding - this is a processed pudding in a cup. We were asked if we wanted pieces of vanilla wafers and whipped cream on top and we said yes. There aren't any real bananas in here. Hubs didn't really enjoy the strong artificial banana flavor. I did eat the whole cup myself. It satisfied my sweet tooth. The way things are packaged up and individually portioned here would make it a great place for takeout and to-go ordering or to take on a picnic or somewhere mobile. This small restaurant is part of a strip mall located inside of the Westgate Entertainment District near the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale. There is plenty of parking in front of the store and in the entertainment district. There's women's and men's restroom inside for customers.

    Ribs, Mac and Cheese, corn bread
    Brandon P.

    I was hoping for a 3-4 star when I tried the potato salad and Mac and Cheese. As well as the onions and pickles. These were all pretty good. My favorite was the onions and pickles. They were wonderfully pickled and provided a nice punch with the meat and bbq sauce. The spicy bbq sauce was my preferred of the two. The heat is maybe a 2 out of 5, so not very spicy at all. The meat. Very disappointing. I arrived when they opened and the brisket was over cooked, dry and chewy. The ribs were pretty well cooked but had no distinguishable flavor, besides a cooked rib. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

    This is what we paid $60 for

    No; they are Coke suppliers though. I've also seen they have teas (unsweetened, sweet, and watermelon).

The last time we stopped in for a meal there was no meal. The goods were gone, eaten by an eager, hungry, horde. March 31, 2026 at 3 p.m. They were open, fully stocked. 1962 was the year my Dad was sent to Oklahoma to teach Air Forces from across the globe how to keep the engines of their nuke-tipped Intercontinental Ballistic Missles prepped and ready in case Boom Moment arrived. We lived to the south in Vernon, Texas where I learned the culinary tradition of Moon Pies and RC Cola, or Dr. Pepper. I also had my first meal of Texas Bar B Que. That set my taste for BBQ Brisket and BBQ beans; sweet, smoky and tender. I've since dined in Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Abilene and Merkel. We hit Mr. B's fabulously delicious BBQ near Harper's Ferry, VA. Another year we went on to BBQ in St Louis; Jonesboro, Arkansas; and Memphis, Tennesee. Locally, Bobby Q, My Mother's, TexAz and others I cannot remember. A BBQ universe of flavor, texture, and squirt-on supplemental sauces. BBQ is a very personal pitmaster production, with very personal diner's tastes. The BBQ firing squad has me against a wall, asking me if I want a smoked rib before I die for not writing much about Little Miss BBQ. I'll take the BBQ shack between Merkel and Blair, Texas. I kept going back by myself, yhen with groups of people, always returning in my memory List of BBQ Favorites. That Hole on the Plains and the town of my BBQ initiation, Vernon. Little Miss BBQ is a very cool place. It is worth a visit for the architecture alone. The pits are out the window as you enter the doors and hook a left to the BBQ ride crowd control railing. Menu is on the wall, on at least two spots. The northwest corner has a takeout counter. We ordered brisket sandwich and beans. The brisket was further flavored choosing one or more of the three sauces: sweet hot ish BBQ, sweet mustard sauce and one more flavor. My top taste of the meal was prickly pear lemonade. Going back for a refill I found 2/3 lemonade and 1/3 prickly pear made my perfect BBQ beverage. The peppery beans with another serving of pulled meat mixed in improved on my palate with sweet sauce added. The mustard sauce was recommended for our sandwich. It was a good addition. Will the family return here to dine? I'll write another review when we come back.

It wasn't and was just okay, the price was not okay. I paid 80 American dollars for a subpar meal.
