    Food was outstanding and service was great! The facility was clean and condiments were full (and clean) being a bbq restaurant. Open seating area with lots of tables on both sides.

    We've been to Q BBQ in Naperville a number of times. During our initial visits the food was very tasty and the servings were always what you'd expect. Our visit today was less than we would have hoped. We ordered the Lil Q platter to go. When we arrived home and opened the serving container I was pretty disappointed with the quantity of each meat. The food was ok but not as tasty as it was in the past. It's a shame because we always enjoyed Q BBQ in Naperville. We'll probably give it one more shot but if we experience the same there are a lot of other very good BBQ places close

    "Pulled pork"

    Friendly service , majority of food was overcooked. I got the lil a platter with 5 of the meats. Brisket dry as a cinder block the pulled pork was hard as stale almost to the point it was as hard as jerky. Mac n cheese was tasteless and not so cheesy. Turkey tasted like you bit into drywall. The spicy barbecue sauce was actually above average sauce good tang to it not overly spicy, vinegar sauce was pure liquid, sweet sauce was average Baked beans had meat in them they were average to good Will not be coming back and very disappointed

    Got the Lil Q Platter which was the perfect amount of food for me and my husband. We had Brisket Burnt Ends, sliced brisket, doubled on the pulled pork, bbq ribs, 2 hush puppies and 2 sides; baked beans and Cole slaw. Also, got a side of bacon Mac and cheese. Everything turned out good and the bbq ribs were tender that they fell of the bone. My favorite was the sliced brisket. Luckily our meats weren't dry or over cooked, but there are extra sauces on the table. Also a roll of paper towel.

    Yuck! We had been craving Q for a hot minute but the wintertime parking situation at the Naperville location stinks. Tonight was a total bummer. The Mac and cheese was bland, the sauce was cheese flavored water. The beans were watery and cold. The meat tasted old. It was overall a very disappointing 21$ for 2 sides and a sandwich, I feel like I got ripped off by Q-BBQ tonight.

    Great value BBQ spot! We got the papa platter and basically got to try everything. Brisket was definitely the star - super tender and flavorful, paired really well with the variety of bbq sauces. The turkey was also incredibly juicy and not dry at all. Pulled pork was admittedly a little bit dry but the burnt ends were absolute fire! Great staff and ambiance - such a hidden gem in Naperville!

    Been wanting to try Q BBQ for some time and I finally got the chance. Went around 5pm on a Friday. You order and seat yourself and the food is brought to you. Menu is simple and their signature dishes encompass the BBQ flavors of Texas,Memphis and the Carolinas. We shared the Lil Q Platter which was more than enough food for the 2 of us. You choose 2 Premium meats,2 Smoked meats,Ribs,2 sides and hush puppies. We chose sliced brisket which just melted in your mouth,Brisket burnt ends which was probably the best burnt ends ever had,pulled pork which is the staple of any BBQ platter and smoked turkey which was moist and very flavorful. The BBQ ribs were fall off the bone. For our 2 sides we chose the brisket baked beans which were a little sweet but still good. We made the mistake to order the fresh cut fries which were nothing special. Next time I think we will upgrade the sides to try a few of their specialty sides. With so many other food choices to try such as sandwiches,tacos and salads..we will be back!

    If you want to try a majority of the great menu items offered here then share one of the two generous sized platters on the menu. Several sauce offerings are on each table along with a roll of paper towels and there is a station with utensils, fresh pickles and take away containers for the leftovers. After ordering at the counter our food was brought out to us promptly. Every item was meltingly tender and full of smokey good flavor. The fries needed less salt and the beans were too sweet for my taste but the two hush puppies were a nice surprise. Next time we will upgrade the sides. This is a great casual spot right on Main Street to satisfy your next BBQ craving while in downtown Naperville.

    Good find in DT Naperville. Counter service to order and they deliver to your table. Good bbq with their own house made sauces. Highly recommend the Little Q for a good variety of the meats. Has a selection of craft beers and canned cocktails. Serves sweet tea and has cute station for sauces and best of all - free pickles! Big space, friendly staff and desserts are available, they offer packaged cookies and brownies by the counter. If you love bbq, check it out next time your in the neighborhood.

    I did one of those platters to try several items at a time. It was very filling. The Memphis wings were delicious on their own. No additional sauce needed. They were crispy and flavorful. Turkey had that nice smokiness to it, it was moist, and didn't require a lot of chewing. I can't remember if I got pulled chicken or pulled pork. There was a good amount and I used the sauces to add more flavor. It's a tie between the North Carolina and the Memphis sauce for me. You can't go wrong with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Cashier was pleasant and nice. Place was clean. You can find parking either at the nearby garage or the lot.

    Update! Came back to q bbq after a 3 year long hiatus after being removed from the property due to my last review. I'm glad to say that the service has improved and they actually got my order right. The brisket was very flavorful and moist. Fries could use some seasoning, and thankfully my hush puppy didn't have a bite taken out of it this time. Overall an improvement so my rating went up 2 stars.

    Memphis dry rub is super flavorful with a hint of sweetness that lingers on the lips. I am pleased with the size of these wings - lots of meat! The Mexican corn had a bit of a kick to it but hit the spot!

    We've been to most of the nearby BBQ restaurants. We've never been here, until now!…read more Before you go into downtown Westmont, coming off 55th, it's on your left. They have convenient signs that guide you to the cashiers. This place is actually fairly large. The staff is super friendly, and you get a large portion for the price. I got pork and chicken, macaroni and cheese, fries, and a corn bread. The chicken was a little dry, so I preferred the pork. Overall, good experience.

    I've had a love/hate relationship with BBQ for some time now, Learning that I really don't like…read morethe taste of smoke when it's overwhelming. Also food that's TOO fatty gives me what I call the "Queasies". Thirdsome, I REALLY get a case of the red-ass when I have to dish out money for a feed I absolutely did not enjoy. We used to go to Uncle Bub's here often, but there wasn't enough to make us keep patronizing. Something put us off it, I can't recall what. Wife had heard/seen something that caught her eye and wanted to give it another shake, and I am usually amenable to that decision. We both swung with Combo plates-Ribs/Pulled Pork/Rib Tips/Brisket and Quarter Chix (Dark for me /White for Wife). I also had the Chili for starters. The Chili was pretty good-not spicy, and not bold in flavor, but a hearty bowl. Next time I'll ask for some crushed red to add. Moving on, My notes say the Ribs were hard and dry, not strong in taste, and not too fatty-that may have been the problem. The Pulled Pork was OK, but a bit adipose in consistency. The Tips were too fatty (as rib tips are supposed to be--what did I expect?) and I left them on the place after one small bite (To say I at least tried them) Brisket was ok, but I'm not a fan of brisket in general. I was beginning to think "Why in hell did I order a plate with stuff I know I don't enjoy in the first place?"--idiocy abounds! Now, the Chicken was another story-Moist and tasty, especially with the good selection of sauces on the table. Wife was full and did not finish most of her chix breast, and it wound up on my tray. I don't normally like chicken breast (I say it's food for people who don't like to eat), but surprisingly it was moist and yum. Really Yum with the house BBQ sauce applied. The star of the show, folks. The corn bread fell apart, and was pretty useless. The Greenie Beanies were edible, but not fabulous. Wife did not like ColeSlaw, but I did. The throw on the soft drinks was very good. If we come back it will be for the Chicken. I'll try the ribs again, 'cos like I said they were neither oversmoked or fatty. Epilogue: Wife ordered 2 smoked Turkey Breasts for Thanksgiving. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special. Especially at $118 apiece! Slicing them the next day for sandwiches, the taste wasn't much better than the version I get at Mariano's for much less money. AAArrrrrgh! Caveat Emptor!
