Great food and service, love their brisket, pulled pork, beans, Mac and cheese, sausage, ribs, everything

We got our food quick and it was delicious. Staff was super nice. Definitely would recommend this place.

Spent my first year of retirement searching for the best bbq in CA. NakedQ is by far the absolute very best bbq I have ever had. To say it was phenomenal doesn't even do it justice. Too bad we had to come to Arizona to discover it!!! First off, the staff is super friendly. The prices confused me. It is difficult to grasp that I ordered 3 ribs and brisket plus two generous sides plus cornbread for $17.00. The meats were tender and flavored well. For sides I got the coleslaw and potato salad for which were top notch. I am a big bbq critic and I can't say I have had any bbq as good as this. Coming back in a few hours and bringing family!!! Ha- two times in one day. My big disappointment is there are no NakedQ's in Ca!!! Looks like we are gonna make lots of road trips to Arizona! DELICIOUS. Great value. Super clean. Awesome service! read more

The food was ok. Nice interior. Service was friendly enough. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but it was decent.

The food was pretty good. Got pulled pork and brisket. The brisket was my favorite of the two!!! Mac and cheese was pretty good as well!!! The taste of the beans was a bit unexpected. Was expecting a bbq baked bean taste, but it was more like a cowboy, or wilbur bean taste. Not bad though. Didn't get any drinks, so not sure if they offer iced tea; or if it's any good. Did get banana pudding, and was slightly disappointed. Instead of bananas and vanilla pudding it was banana flavored pudding. You know that's not the same!!! :) All in all, I did like my food. So, I will be back. This place gives me another alternative to my Bbq fix. You've got a new customer... thanks. read more

The smoked meats were excellent tasting and melts in your mouth. I had the brisket and pulled pork. The "spicy" BBQ sauce was not the spiciest, but the manager accommodated me by supplying me with some extra spice that I added to the sauce. The combination was excellent. The potato salad was very good and complimented the smoked meats. The beer selection was good. read more

Follow up to first review: We enjoyed the Naked Q so much we went back pretty soon. I have to say at first I wasn't thrilled because the brisket was fatty, which I'm not a fan of. The manager came by and asked how we were doing and I mentioned that to him and he immediately brought lean meat over to us! So good! We also had peach pie, but my hubby ate it so fast I didn't get a pic! Definitely give the Naked Q a try! read more

Not a bad little bbq place the brisket is light on the smoke flavor not to much bark I prefer more iam not a big sauce person so I dint really try them didn't get any sides so I can't say anything about them I will go back try them agian read more

Very good burnt ends but you have to ask for them. They're not advertised but if you ask they'll give them to you!

This was my first time eating here and I was very satisfied!! I had the pulled pork sandwich which was delicious! The sauces were a hit!! Super flavorful!! And the customer service was great!! Very friendly and let us sample things since it was our first time. I will definitely come again!! read more

Food is excellent, great flavors everywhere. The atmosphere was quaint and not overwhelming. The girl taking our order was personable and attentive. The manager Nick was also personable and had a very nice conversation with him. read more

I like to take my friends to different restaurants to make a compassion of the cuisine (BBQ ) we are going to eat. NakedQ was todays choice. My choice was the 2 meat platter which consisted of Pulled Pork, and Chopped Brisket. It comes with 2 sides and a piece of Cornbread. My sides were BBQ Beans and Mac and Cheese. Out of the whole meal my favorite was the Chopped Brisket. It had good flavor an the meat was nice and tender. My main criticism was the food was not hot. Mac and Cheese was my least favorite do being luke warm at best. The price point for BBQ was very good and the amount of food you get was good too! All the servers and manager were very friendly . The restaurant itself is very clean. I might give the Q another shot if I'm in the area and want some BBQ. read more

This is our first time here. The service was very quick at 1 pm. The pulled pork was fall off the bone tender, the slaw wash moist and tasty, the beans were very good. The food is served on a tray with a liner. Not frills just good food. We will be back. read more

Stopped in for lunch today with a colleague. The brisket sandwich (from the lean side) was the best I think I've ever had! The potato salad was good, but missing something... maybe salt. Their iced tea is a bit weak; but I will definitely be back several times before traveling back home! read more

First time finding this place ! Food was great people were very friendly and helpful. Brisket and pulled pork was great, only to be upstaged by the cornbread. I asked for my last piece of cornbread to go in a container! They put that and another piece in a container and I'm eating it now'! So good ! Great place !!!! read more

First, the brisket, sweet BBQ sauce and pickles were outstanding. I'd go back though, for only those items. Pulled pork sandwich was dry, flavorless, and lacked that 'smoke' you would expect. Additionally, the bun was petrified and there was no juicy meat to help with that. It's a choker. Husband tried drowning it in sauce, but didn't help much. The best way I can describe their food generally is 'soulless'. No real effort in the sides I tried. Mac and cheese was missing the important part; cheese! Dry and what? Al Dente cavatappi ?noodles that cheese doesn't cling to. Restaurants PLEASE try to stop making macaroni and cheese 'original! ' There's a reason people like it just how it is. This version was like a cruel joke. Kids were like what?! Potato salad wholly flavorless and not at all creamy. Same for the coleslaw. Creamy does not mean a bit of juice that sinks right to the bottom of limp cabbage. It was slightly more flavorful than the potato salad once you dug some meager juice out of the bottom and cabbage wasn't the freshest by any means. Hispanic girl at counter seemed impatient I needed a minute to look over the menu as it was my first time there and packaged what was supposed to be separate sides in one container. Irritated because we we're staying at a hotel and it was hard to divide among those who asked for it. (There was no in line after me so I'm not sure why I had to be rushed). No warm welcome or attempt at hospitality. Stark but clean atmosphere; too much so for a BBQ joint. No music, just silence. I'm from Texas so I guess I'm expecting too much. BBQ places there are nothing like this. They have a much better selection of sides that are BBQ authentic like fried okra, cabbage and Texas Toast. Even Dickey's does a better job with these. I surmise this place is supposed to be a new-fangled 'Foodie' take on BBQ. A bit of advice; if it ain't broke don't fix it. Emulate it! read more

This place was amazing at first but for the past month the taste of food has gone down ! Very disappointing

Order the two meat platter... The sliced brisket was real good, the pulled pork was horrible. It was burnt on the outside and mushy on the inside.. Basically was burnt hard and mushy... not ideal for pulled pork. Macaroni and cheese: watered down it looked like yellow water and tasted like it too. read more

DO NOT eat here. Same your time and your money. The food lacks flavor. We couldn't enjoy the food because we had to re-cook/prepare it. Had to add seasoning to everything! Mac & cheese, potato salad and beans. Wasted $100 for a crappy Mother's Day Meal smh. Called to provide feedback- Manager Arlene stated she would have the owner refund me (she asked what I wanted), he called and was very childish and un-accommodating stating he can't do that and no one else complained. Because they can't cook neither. My family cooks, we know how this is supposed to be. Avoid this place. read more

Great brisket and sides! Fast delivery Brisket was perfectly seasoned, moist and meaty. Pulled pork was not as successful but still tasty. Beans were a star. Great seasoning with perfect juice. Mac and cheese and Cole slaw as wel!! read more

Have had their catered service three times now. Sometimes it's hit or miss. It always tastes delicious as you can put BBQ sauce on to Moisten it up, but it has been dry on occasion. It definitely tastes better when you eat there at the restaurant and it isn't dry. If you have BBQd though you know how hard that is. It's almost always the chicken. The staff is always awesome and amazing. The sides are delicious. The corn bread is ok, again dry and not to my taste as I like sweet corn bread. My advice, don't get the chicken or cornbread and you will have a 5 star experience. I look forward to our next catered event. read more

Visiting the area & ordered my food for delivery. Food arrived fast and was extremely hot. The two meat platter was sliced brisket and jalapeño sausage with baked beans and macaroni and cheese and cornbread. The other order was the pitbull special which was pulled pork, sliced brisket, and one rib with potato salad and beans. Brisket was extremely tender, but pretty fatty, but had an overall good taste. The sausage was good. Did not have a kick to it even with it having jalapeño in it so definitely not overly spicy. And the pulled pork was tinder with good seasoning to it. As for the beans they're more of a western style baked bean and that's not sweet but did a pieces of brisket in it but weren't bad. Macaroni and cheese was good. It looked a little dry but actually it was very flavorful. Potato salad was also damn solid. Neither one of us like the cornbread. It was kind of tough which is weird for bread. The giant cookies were really good. They were sweet, but also had sea salt were gone on top of them, which gave them a unique flavor. something I would definitely get again. read more

I thought this was a restaurant but walking in, it was like Chipotle. I actually preferred this because I was starving and getting my food faster then waiting in a restaurant was ideal. I ordered the 2 meat platter that comes with 2 sides and a corn bread. I got pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, potato salad and a corn bread. The meats were absolutely amazing in flavor and so tender. The corn bread was very good too. Now, the sides were just okay. The service was great, they were knowledgeable about the food and they had a good sense of humor. I recommend this place for the amazing and delicious meat. read more

It's a nice and chill environment. Unfortunately their ribs were subpar. I had to soak them in BBQ just to get a flavor. They are not fall off the bone ribs. I give the establishment and exterior a cool 4 out of 5 but I have to give the ribs a 2.3 out of 5. read more

The ribs are still very good. As are the side dishes. Coleslaw good. Beans delicious. Cornbread great. The brisket HOWEVER, leaves a lot to be desired. It is Extremely dry. No amount of bbq sauce can regenerate the natural moisture that should make this dish tender and juicy. Somebody needs to try their own product before serving. The staff should have a tasting session before letting a dish like this out of the kitchen. I don't know if they even check Yelp revies, but they should. Will not order this again. read more

I'm not one to ever leave reviews but my fiancé and I come here very often. It is 10/10 great food & service!! Staff is very friendly and it is one of our favorite spots! read more

NakedQ was clean. Food was okay. Could serve a little bigger servings but it wasn't bad all in all.

Tried the brisket and it was very dry . Most other places I've tried around the country are far better but then again this is Arizona and not Texas or Kansas City. As for the sauce very watered down. Service is decent. read more

We were passing through on our way home to California and found the Naked Q. The food was excellent. I didn't see burnt ends on the menu and mentioned to my husband how much I love burnt ends & I settled for the brisket. When I got my order, to my surprise, they served me the juiciest, tastiest burnt ends! Thank you Naked Q. Customer service and Food was Excellent! read more

This place is pretty new at Westgate. Decided to give it a try. Ordered the two meat plate. Turkey and jalapeño sausage. Sides were potato salad and beans. I really liked the two meats. Turkey was moist and tasty. Sausage was really flavorful and juicy. Potato salad was also good with big chunks and egg and potato. Beans were a little hard and had no flavor. Now to the bbq sauce. They have two. Sweet and spicy. Sweet was too sweet for me and the spicy was sweet with a little spice. There was also mustard sauce. So I mixed the mustard sauce with the spicy and it made it a little better. Mustard was also added to the beans to give it life. Overall it was pretty good. Probably come back but I'm bringing my own sauce. read more

The food lacked any flavor. I ordered the 2 meat option but after trying mine and a bite off my friend's platter...just bland and gross. Even the sides had no flavor (I ordered the beans and mac n cheese). The bbq sauce was no help... read more

Really enjoyed their spare ribs. They were tender and tasty! We did not eat in but just ordered to-go. Very nice staff member gave us our order. Will return to eat in one of these days. read more

Seriously great BBQ. very friendly staff and open environment. I walked here from my hotel, first off walking in Phoenix, what was I thinking? I was greeted by some very friendly counter workers and what I assume was the pit master. Smiles and very helpful as this was my first time visiting. I ordered the two meat special and ordered chopped brisket and pulled pork. Sided by double healthy vegetables, garlic green beans. The pulled pork with the vinegar bbq sauce was amaze-what-for-it-zing! The brisket with mustard bbq sauce was a holy marriage of happy and heavenly. I liked the beans, but loved the meat and sauce. If you see this review go try it. read more

We went to NakedQ for my spouse's birthday. Solid food, friendly service. Only complaint was that the macaroni and cheese was pretty watery--they changed it right after we went through the line. We will definitely return because the prices can't be beat for the quality of flavor. read more

Well it never fails, we came to get a nice dinner at 6:45 pm -2 hours before closing and we are again told they are out of turkey and ribs! At a BQ restaurant? You run out of ribs and turkey again? This is the third time in a row. I'm getting very annoyed with the lack of restaurant management - very poor management who are unable to fulfill the menu at this Westgate location. We used to come here about 3-4 years ago and it happened all the time so we stopped coming to this location. We decided to start coming again and it has now happened 3x in a row on different days, during the week and on weekends. Horrible customer service and looks as if the restaurant is run cheap to serve the owner and not the customers - whom should be priority or the restaurant would close down without repeat and new customers. Anyway, beware of this location when you decide to dine there expecting BQ and being told they don't have any. Horrible and disappointing. read more

Soooo, decided to give this a try again after our last review. Ordered through delivery. Hoping it improved in quality of food, we were a bit disappointed again. The pulled pork sandwich was bland, a little on the dry side, the bun was stale. The potato salad was good. My husband's dish of sliced turkey was salty again. Beans undercooked. Mac/cheese bland. Sauces were not that great as well, spicy not spicy. Not interested in trying it again. read more
