We stopped by Q-BBq while in the La Grange neighborhood during the summer, and the outdoor seating was definitely a plus. But the food.....just didn't do it for me. I tried the Mac Q-Roni and it was a little odd for my taste buds. Not bad, just not something I would order again. The signature sauces were good, but overall I've had better BBQ elsewhere. We went with family ranging from adults to teenagers to toddlers and honestly, no one at the table seemed overly impressed. Great location and atmosphere, but the food left me a little underwhelmed. I was hoping to have a go-to BBQ spot this close to home. read more

I love the food here, but the portions in the Papa-Q platter have gotten noticeably smaller. I've been ordering the same thing since 2016ish and it's been fairly consistent until today. In the past, the Papa-Q platter had enough food to feed my wife and myself for two days. Today, there was much less of everything and there will be no leftovers. You should've kept the portion sizes the same and raised the price. People will feel conned. read more

Good food, reasonable prices. Family friendly atmosphere. Fun location in downtown La Grange. Close to the movie theater.

Great food, Great service.. went with the family for dinner.. loved everything Will be back! read more

Slab of rib was meaty and tasty hot sauce compliments it well. Nice eat in place clean and roomy.

Ordered the Papa Q Platter $50 It would've been just ok if it was 1/2 the price. The 3 ribs was the only meat that had sauce on it so that was disappointing. The wings had zero flavor except for the char marks. We need another bbq place around cuz this ain't it read more

I wanna start off by saying I do come here pretty often almost every weekend. The western salad is one of my go to. I also love the chicken wings. Memphis style. The service is usually really good. And the vibe is usually very nice some days better than others. The food is usually top-tier but recently the chicken wings have been a little bit over seasoned usually they are made to perfection so I don't wanna be too hard on them. 9.5/10 stars for sure read more

The GM (Anthony) recommended the burnt tips sandwich and the Brussels sprouts and both were excellent. My son had the sliced brisket platter and said the Texas Sauce put it over the top. Service was quick and the atmosphere was friendly. read more

Best Bbq around. Burnt ends are wonderful, homemade pickles nice and crisp and fresh, mashed potatoes and gravy sublime, and the baked beans amazing. We take some some sweet sauce and hot. And I have the hush puppies to dip into them. Absolutely wonderful- you must try this place!!! read more

Christmas Eve....called the restaurent earlier to confirm we could order until 5, arrived 4:30, told the kitchen closed at 4. Not cool. Don't say I should realize it's Christmas Eve. Our meal depended on you, you just decided even your regulars weren't worth it. No recognition, no feeling bad, just run along. Called a friend who knows the kitchen situation, this was an easy accommodation... read more

Decided to check this place out after discovering it on yelp and so happy I did! My boyfriend and I split the lil q platter with 2 sides. And for 19.99 plus tax what a great price!! With the platter were able to try 4 meats plus ribs. Decent amount of each meat as well. My favorite was the smoked turkey. The ribs were great as well. I got the sweet sauce on the side and only really ate it with the pulled pork. As far as sides, there were so many choices! We went with the mashed potatoes with brisket gravy (yum!) And the Mexican street corn (which I thought was ok and my boyfriend really didn't like). However, both were nice large portion sizes. They have a larger size portion for the platter, but it was nice for 2 people to try a little bit of everything at a reasonable price. Another perk, they had a sink near the soda station for guests to wash their hands. Always nice after eating some bbq! Staff was friendly, great food, great prices. I would recommend! read more

I contacted Qs for a catering order 1 week in advance and was told to wait to place my delivery order online 48 hours before the event because if they didn't have a delivery driver the online system would point me to other delivery options. I questioned that plan because I didn't want any problems with the order so close to the party and was assured it was not t problem. When I tried the online ordering it didn't have the event package I was looking for so I called again for help. They told me they had no driver and couldn't do it. Ugh! I've used them before and had no issues. So disappointing. read more

Update your hours please. Not having them updated does not help us when we are trying to order online or on the phone. Trying to respond to Kellie S. But there doesn't seem to be a way. Other businesses that I have visited on Yelp have an option to message the business. I can see no such option with this business. I would have honestly left this review on a message rather than public if that were offered. The site that has the incorrect closing time is the Yelp app that I am currently using. This is where the incorrect closing time of 9pm is. I'm adding a photo. read more

I think you should give max a raise because he was so nice and friendly and the food was great and the service was super fast

We had a good family dinner at Q. We ordered the Papa Q platter which turned out to be perfect for our family of four (kids ages 10 & 12). The Papa Q platter had some of each type of meat available, plus four sides. The kids loved the Mac and cheese. We also had coleslaw and mashed potatoes. They were good, not outstanding. The meats were all very good, good smoke flavor, not too dry. The chicken wings were over done unfortunately. The hush puppies were really yummy and crunchy. We would have liked a few more sauce flavors to choose from but overall we enjoyed it and would be back. The Papa Q platter was $39.99, with fountain drinks for all of us we came in just over $50 so the value for quality was outstanding. read more

Q-BBQ is a good spot for some good bbq. We've tried several items off the menu. The meat is tender and not dry and the bbq sauce is also good. The sides pair well with the bbq. They surprisingly also have really good salads. I like to get the chopped salad with bbq meat on top. Service is good. Food comes out quickly. The sink on the inside is a nice perk since bbq food can be so messy! There is a small patio outdoors which is a nice place to sit when the weather is nice. read more

These people do not mess around, as we had some pickup that was disappointing. I went for pickup and was 5 minutes early and brought my cooler to hold foods and heat better. We live about 1.5 miles from Q's BBQ and all the food was cold and not up to their standards. I have received a phone call from the managers and fixed the troubles, we are going to take our friends for another attempt, but this eating in restaurant. We have eaten here so many times and is a favorite of our niece and her husband too. I travel many times a year and go down south and the food at Q' is better than an area place, Gibson's BBQ, that has many awards to their name. The food at Q' is better than theirs. Great FOOD and AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE, why even try to beat it. read more

Food was delicious, portions are a perfect size and the meat was well cooked. The menu size is also great, not large but enough variance that I didn't get option paralysis. Perfectly priced, me and my girlfriend got 2 sandwiches fries and drinks and it was ~$30 and the quality made it worth the price tag. read more

We placed a large delivery order for my husband's 75th birthday 6-27-24. The ribs looked and tasted like they were extremely dry and a good day old, the chicken was dry, the burnt ends were dry. For the pickles, we received 6 slices in 2 tiny containers. The Mac and cheese was dry and no taste. The last time we placed a very large order, the food was also dry but thought we'd give it another chance. We know how the meat should have tasted and served because my husband has won awards at BBQ competitions. I think a manager should check the food before it goes out the food. Very disappointed. read more

Really good food even the fries, low key family friendly who loves bbq . Service experience and excellent . It's low key and the feeling is completely comfortable. read more

The burnt ends are with their spicy sauce is a must!! We've been here several times and get the Lil Q Platter which is perfect for 2 people. They have a spacious indoor and outside they have dining as well. It's located in the downtown area so it's a very nice spot. They offer beers and seltzers as well. The staff is friendly. read more

Not a cheap option if you're looking for good, fast food. They recently changed their menu and everything is ala carte which quickly drives up a bill. My turkey breast dinner with mashed potatoes and corn was $17. But the smoked meat is some of the best I've ever tasted and those hush puppies must be made by angels because they're heavenly. Great place to change up the meal plans for the week but not too often or you'll go broke! read more

We tried Q-BBQ for the first time last night. We ordered the Papa Q platter to go, which was a large amount of food for a reasonable price. However, the one word I would use to describe the BBQ here is DRY. The wings, ribs and brisket were all bone dry. The overall flavor was good, but there was a serious lack of moisture for all of these meats. Surprisingly, I found the smoked meats (pulled pork, pulled chicken and turkey breast) substantially more moist. The hot link was also quite tasty. As for the sides they were mainly quite good. We had coleslaw (bad -- flavorless and sorely lacking seasoning), hush puppies (very good - probably the best side), BBQ baked beans (also good), and cornbread (good). Sauces were good as well. Overall this could have been much better had many of the meats not been so dry. I might give this place another try in the future but looking at the reviews from other customers it looks like 'dry' is a common complaint. read more

We come here a lot. Probably eaten there about 15 times and had great service every time but once (And that was more than a year ago). The food has always been great. great. read more

What a great BBQ restaurant. My brother took me hear for lunch. You order your food at the counter. I ordered the chopped brisket sandwich. Every order comes with hush puppies and then I ordered the plain Brussels sprouts (which cost a little extra). I also ordered a Blue Moon in a bottle. They give you a number and then bring the food to you when ready. The food is excellent. The brisket was cooked perfectly and the portion is generous. They have a choice of three sauces you can add at the table, I added the sweet sauce that was a perfect complement. I also loved the hush puppies (which are little corn fritters). They were fried perfectly and such a nice change from the fries you get at most places. I was probably most pleased and surprised with the Brussels Sprouts. They kind of char them, but they are so delicious, a real delight. The place is very clean and then I really loved the fact that they had a hand-washing station near the counter. Q-BBQ is definitely worth a visit. read more

I will not step foot in this place after witnessing the manager treat his employees like trash. The one young man had a disability but did not deserve to be spoken to and demeaned in front of other employees and customers. How shameful that this happening. I know I will taking my business elsewhere. Where and with someone who cares about there employees!! Hopefully the OWNERS sees this and wonders what's going on. I know I will be letting family and friends and work associates know about my experience at Q-BBQ. There are plenty of others who would value my order for my future events.. If I could give you negative stars I surely would read more

Best BBQ in Chicago, new smaller COVID portions are sad. Really. My family and I really love Q-BBQ. We ordered from here a few times during quarantine but now that they have dine in, they kept the smaller portions served for take out. This is ridiculous. Especially for old customers like myself. I still prefer them over any bbq place. Nobody beats their sauces. 5 stars in my heart, but 3-starts for letting the stupid pandemic change their plates. read more

I had the burnt ends, quite tasty and tender. The Mac and cheese side dish is worth mentioning too. Order and pay at the register and the food is brought to your table when it's ready. The whole process was quick and easy, the staff was polite and cheerful. It's located in a very nice area with lots of free parking. The ambiance was pleasant, not too noisy or hectic. I would eat here again if I'm in the area. read more

Ok 467 reviews and 4 stars, I'm down because I'm a bbq hound. I was in the area so I decided to get a late lunch bbq and dam this was the supper trendy downtown looking area with all parking taken but they have a big lot for parking, it's comunitty parking and smashed full. I found one spot a block away and walked over, I could see and smell smoke from the back of the building so it's full slab time when smoke is detected. Because of the no parking I thought that they were packed so I called in take out, NOPE plenty of tables open so I fuck#d up. The place is typical today's bbq with wood, chalk board menu and rich color on the walls. I would get the full slab with hush puppies that comes with two sides, Mac and mash/gravy. The ribs smelled wonderful by the way. Let's start with the sides, the hush puppies x 2 was a total tease because they were sweet/tasty with a little crisp left in the golden shell and whole corn kernels in them, dam I like them. The mash with brisket gravy was baby reds skin in and very tasty, nicely done. The Mac Q Roni looked boss with perfect cooked noodles but light on flavor, an aged cheese would have added what was missing flavor wise. The ribs are up now, dam they look meaty with a nice bark but sauced, you don't get the sauce on the side so I hope it's ok. The sauce was sweet on the safe side so it's ok. The ribs were meaty/tasty with a sweet smoke flavor but the bark seem to add anything major beside looks to the ribs. They were fall off the bone tender/moist, not my little chew that I like but not the dry/hard crap some places serve. All in all the ribs were not the best that I have had or my most favorite but they were pretty dam good, remember bbq comes in all ways/styles/tastes so be objective when it comes to bbq because it's better than average. My final thoughts is that this is some good bbq quality wise and I thought the sides were better than average so I would have no problem eating here again, Yah I'm a fan. read more

Great service, great food. A little dry but it's still worth it. The service makes up for it

It wasn't what I expected, the food was not great. It's a la-carte so be prepared to pay for all extras. I paid $10.99 for a brisket sandwich with 2 hush puppies, and there wasn't that much brisket inside my sandwich. Had to pay extra for coleslaw which I thought it would be on the side they put it on the sandwich. They should have explained that It was an alright place to eat. Disappointed. read more

This is the 3rd time here and each time has gotten progressively worse. Nothing has been as noticeable as today though. My wife and I each got the Papa Q platter to see what it is this place will be great at and what we should order as a "go to." I hate to say this but the best part was the hush puppies and the free pickles. We spent $60 and had to replace most of the food that was on the trays. The ribs were so dry they looked reheated and over done from the night before. The brisket was more like a dry roast and didn't pull apart. All the pulled meats were horribly dry and almost caused me to choke I had to swallow so hard and drink liquid to push it down. Burnt ends were mushy outside and a dry almost impossible to swallow inside. Not soft...mushy. My wings were raw on the Memphis and the spicy wings were so burnt and black. The spicy sausage was so old and dry. There was no fat present in the sausage and it was discolored and old. The signs say "as seen on tv" and maybe at one time this place may have been great but our experience with the cooks, food, and help has been terrible. The only thing that made this place less aggravating was a young man named Jason who works here. He's a very kind and pleasant worker who walks around making sure everyone is attended to. He seems socially challenged and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. That's a major saving grace and a reason we didn't just up and leave. He deserves some praise in an environment that was not very good. read more

Great food ( the meat was super tender not overly smoky) and very friendly , helpful staff. Definitely recommend this place!!!!

Q-BBQ is a great low-key, 'it's okay if you come straight from the gym' spot. I was looking for a BBQ spot to stop at on my way home from the gym and decided to try it out. To order, you walk up to the cashier and they give you a number to take to your table, they bring the food to you when it's ready. My table got a variety of meal options with va sides and each one was scrumptious The outside patio was cute and since it was such a nice evening we ended up enjoying our food outside. All of our meals were very good and the portions were good for both the main meal and sides. I recommend the Mac and Cheese for the side, it was my personal favorite! If you're a big eater, the 2 Meats Plate would be perfect for you. My only complaint is that this spot only has 2 BBQ sauce options. One is a good spicy option and the other is a bit sweet-mixed together they were the perfect combo. I like having lots of flavors and enjoy trying different BBQ sauces and I was expecting more variety. I didn't feel like the limited options disrupted my meal or the flavors though. Everything was good! read more
