We love BBQ and this place did not disappoint us. We had the pork and beef brisket. Both were flavorful, delicious. Good value.

We love Q Daddy's brisket and the broccoli salad. Smithfield has some great food. If I'm in Smithfield I at least get some to go. They need a second location in Suffolk so can eat here more often. read more

One would imagine that Smithfield VA- arguably the ham capital of the world, would be overflowing with barbecue joints. Not so much. Q Daddy's fills an unlikely void in the porcine procurement department. We arrived at about 1230 on a Saturday. The line was almost to the door, but we managed to get through the line rather quickly. Along the way, we encountered several outgoing, friendly employees who were eager to answer any questions that we had. The menu is mind-numbingly simple. To me, that's a good thing. I ordered a pork sammich with slaw, with a side of fries. My dining companion ordered the brisket sammich with a side of mac and cheese. We both had fountain drinks, and I think I spent a total of $22. The buns were buttered and toasted. It's a nice touch that a lot of places overlook. The fries are done right- they are hand cut and blanched before being fried for service. This allows for the perfect texture for the fries- light and fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. We were given the option of having our fries dusted with their BBQ rub, which was sweet and smoky. A little splash of malt vinegar accented the spices perfectly. Mac and cheese is such a personal dish. If you're craving a Kraft Dinner, look elsewhere. The pasta was big, and the cheese sauce was very rice creamy. For me, it was a bit too creamy, and there wasn't quite enough sharp cheesiness to cut through all of the creaminess of the sauce. Still, it's not anything that I would get mad it. But, it's a BBQ joint. Who the hell cares about the sides? Let's get to the meat. BBQ might even be a more personal dish than mac and cheese... My pork was pulled into big, meaty, hunks. It was not overly tender and had a nice, hearty chew to it. However, it was a bit on the stringy side for me, and I could have used a little more tenderness. It was also tossed in a sweet, smoky, spicy sauce. I prefer my pork done in an Eastern NC style (vinegar-based), but it was quite good. The slaw was good... I didn't try it by itself, but it accented the sandwich just fine. I somehow caught a piece of bone in mine (it was a surprise to my molars), but hey- these things happen. The brisket was chopped and piled high on the bun. It was very tender and was seasoned with a very well-balanced rub- smoky, spicy, and sweet. I like the texture of sliced brisket better than chopped, but that's a personal preference. I wish I would have ordered the brisket sandwich instead. I would totally, 100% come back, and I would recommend it to anyone in the area for good BBQ in Smithfield. read more

Good restaurant and thumbs up on the BBQ ! I even met the own, great and also a vet, no complaints here! I will be back!

I cannot say enough about this place. The most beautiful personalities I've come across in an establishment. They gave my son free icecream and their pudding. He's only 2 and got a bit whiny, and offered to help with some food he could eat. Also, their bathroom is stocked with diapers/wipes along with a convenient changing station. I got the fried brisket sandwich, with fries and hush puppies! I love their sauces and slaw! read more

The best spot in town for bbq. The pulled pork is delicious and the hush puppies are a treat. The sides are right on.

Good food and service. The broccoli bacon salad is top notch. It is expensive, and that is the only thing that is keeping this place from being a fairly regular visit. read more

Took my in-laws here and they loved it. I loved it as well. One of the best bbq I have ever had in my life. Plus, everyone in the restaurant is extremely friendly and helpful. The inside dining area is very clean, decorated and well kept. Will definitely be back again. And I highly recommend this place to whoever that loves bbq! read more

The food was amazing and people so friendly. When we walked in, we were greeted by the pit master who gave us a walk though of the menu, options and recommendations. We tried the pork, brisket, ribs, Mac n cheese, baked beans and cheddar hush puppies. Everything was delicious! The ribs fell off the bone and there was no gristle in any of the meat. The Mac n Cheese was cheesy and perfectly cooked! I will be back and definitely recommend this place! read more

Best BBQ I have had in VA hands down! Sides are great and the southern style brisket is absolutely amazing. I'll def be back on a regular basis! read more

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! The staff was so helpful and so personable. They were very kind and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! The food was delicious and if you left hungry, it was your own fault! They gave awesome portions and it was very filling. Desert was to die for! They give you as many samples as you would like and we tasted the banana pudding and the apple crisp. They both were heavenly! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Q Daddy's Pitmaster BBQ - Jeff, Olivia, and I went to eat here for dinner on our way to vacation! - Barbeque Near Me - Smithfield, Virginia

This is exactly what Smithfield needed! A modern place with home cooked REAL BBQ! We had the pulled pork sandwiches and they were delicious! The mac and cheese was so good and super cheesy. The fresh cut fries were just that and were even tastier dipped in their 'awesome sauce'. I also thought their sweet tea was the perfect blend. We also got to try the molasses cookie which literally tastes like Christmas and their ice cream was absolutely fantastic. We spent a very reasonable $27 for a family of four. The owners are so nice and very personable. Can't wait to go back and try the brisket! read more

Q Daddy's Pitmaster BBQ - The pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. YUM!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Smithfield, Virginia

The chicken tenders were HOT, fried but never greasy, and the broccoli was AMAZING. It has some nuts and a very light sauce that made it unique and great. The banana pudding was different, but my mom enjoyed it a lot! It wasn't my flavor, but everything was well done, thought and care were taken in cooking the food, all the way down to the packaging. I recommend. read more

The smoked chicken salad is SOOOO good! The people are so nice and so helpful! I always get the chicken salad with broccoli salad and marinated cucumbers and it is just the perfect light blend for lunch. read more

Great Food! Friendly employees! Love how the women's bathroom has a changing table!! Some restaurants forget about babies ‍

Amazing business. Love the people who work here and how hard they work to get your meal right and out to you as fast as possible. 100% recommend this restaurant to those who are looking for a lunch/dinner date or want to go out with your family for a nice meal! There deserts are outstanding as well. Great job Q daddy's best bbq in the US. read more

So good, so fresh and so fun! Been coming here since day 1 and never disappointed- except when they don't have collards; hate when there are no collards because they are soooo tasty! Handspun milkshakes with fresh ingredients and seasonal fruits are always a treat! read more

Not much to say besides go in and check it out! I got a traditional pork pulled sandwich with sides and I was so impressed and full! The banana pudding is amazing and has its own Q daddy style! Amazing BBQ place. read more

Went there today of lunch arriving at 11 AM when it opened. The line was to the door at soon as it opened. Need to get here early, especially if you want the brisket. I got the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and coke slaw as sides. The pulled pork is pulled, just like the menu says. I thought it was great and preferred it better than chopped. It had great flavor and was not dry at all, but not over sauced either. You taste both the pork and the sauce instead of just sauce. The build the sandwiches on a scale to be sure all are the right size. Great idea. At $4.95 it's a deal. The sides were good as well but at $1.95 each, they should either be a little bigger or on my cost $1.50 for the size they are now. They are good though. The awesome sauce is great on the fries, would not put it on the BBQ sandwich. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. We will be back for sure. read more

Does not cater to people with infants. Cannot tell what the food taste likes because there was no place to sit.

This place is great. The food is delicious. Pulled pork sandwich is great. Clean and nice workers.

This place is amazing! The food is always great and the owner and staff are extremely pleasant!

Nice people but over-priced and not what I expected. Got a 'pint' of brisket that was more like smoked rib roast. Good flavor but too chewy. Back to Mission. read more

We have been told by several in the area to try this place, they need to get out of the area. We often feel their staff are doing us a service by their presence. Average BBQ, in Smithfield, which apparently means you have to succumb to their demands. Thought it was us, but we have given Q Daddy's plenty of our business and recently received 5 star service elsewhere. Attempted to give them our business recently and we were held to an overpriced weekend menu for at best average food. Often out of their brisket and not a fan of their pulled pork. read more

This place is heaven on a plate! The fried pickles.. the hush puppies, the Barbecue... you will forget where you are . Grab extra awesome sauce to relive the experience over and over even if you can never replicate this barbecue in your lifetime .. HEAVEN! read more

Clean place, friendly staff, quick service and most of all delicious food. We had the brisket sandwich, mac n cheese and banana pudding. The brisket was the best I've ever had. So tender. read more

Really good barbecue with generous portions of meat for the sandwich. Sides are minuscule in comparison, and there is often a delay in getting sides. One can wait in line at the register with your meals all ready, but you are delayed by a person or persons in front of you who are waiting on a side. read more

This place is hands down the BEST restaurant in Smithfield. Probably all of Virginia! I've never seen a cleaner eating establishment in my entire life. Their staff is expertly trained not only in their craft of making good food, but also in the art of southern hospitality. You'll never feel more welcome anywhere than when you walk through the doors at QDaddy's. From the crunchy coleslaw to the fresh, hot fries to the juicy and tender meat selection, this place has it all. You can't pick a wrong dish! And hey now, let's not forget the take-alongs! You can't leave with out bringing home some of their famous chicharrones, pimento cheese or giant molasses cookies! One bite and your hooked! So let's say maybe you've already had lunch or dinner somewhere else but it's a hot day and you're looking for a little sweet relief. Well cowboys and cowgals, hop in that QDaddy's line and get you one of THE FINEST (underline that several times, seriously I mean it!) soft serve cones, bowls or milkshakes in all the land. Stuck on what flavor shake? Ask the folks behind the counter for the latest concoction. You will not be disappointed! All in all, this place has got it going on. From the staff, to the food, to the fully stocked changing table in the restroom. Family run for families to enjoy. If you need anything, just ask, but you likely won't have to because they'll ask you first. QDaddy's, I salute you and your small town cowboy. Yeehaw! read more

Great food and service. A little pricey for a more than an occasional visit. But priced well for the food you get.

Best brisket in town!!! Their sides are amazing...I never know which ones to get so we end up getting a bunch and sharing. The Mac n cheese is DELISH! The fried pickles are amazing! The broccoli salad is great! The sweet tea is legit. And their chicken salad is one of a kind. Oh wait I forgot about the bacon/cheddar hush puppies....shut up! Too good to even talk about. We love coming here only down side is it takes us 1 hour to get there. Q Daddy's please come to Chesapeake!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

One of the best ran restaurants in Tidewater. Everything we have had here is good. The brisket and ribs are very good. You can't miss with the fries and broccoli salad. To top it all off, the employees are great and the place is a pleasure to go to. read more

Fantastic choice. Had the beef brisket. Cooked just right. And the sauce was good, not overpowering. But, everyone who reads this must get the molasses cookie. Fantastic. read more

Whoa whoa whoa!!! This is my new jam!!! As a previous bbq restaurant owner in St Lucia living in on Smithfield the food has been bleak for me but this place knocked my socks off tonight! I had a coupon for a free bbq sandwich and it didn't feel right to not spend money. I asked the SUPER knowledgeable friendly and informative staff of any recommendations. Were they right! I hardly ever write on here but had to. Broccoli salad and Mac and cheese were perfect. I'm super hard to please and can't to go back. read more

Great food , fast and good you know it's good when the fire department & the police show up!!!...to eat! Chef owner walked the tables really made you feel welcome! Hot hand cut and some of the best potato salad I've had Wow! Nice place to get a great meal! read more

Food is always piping hot and delicious! Southern Hospitality at its best. We love coming here.

Delicious food! Brisket, broccoli salad, beans, and hush puppies were amazing! Service was wonderful.

This place was awesome! Got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was piled high. Slaw was on point too, as well as the potato salad. Prices were average, but this was one of the best bbq joints I've eaten at. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean, a rarity these days. Overall, a must eat if you're in Smithfield, VA. read more

Thought the place was small, but the atmosphere was nice. Despite what is going on, service was prompt and interactive. Not the standard rush job you get from some places. Seems like they tried to have a conversation with everyone who walked through the door. Had a brisket sandwich, no sauce. Was good. Banana pudding was good also. read more

Pricey. But damn is it worth it. Make sure you get broccoli salad and banana pudding and thank me later

The chicken tenders are to die for. I prefer a vinegar-based barbecue Rather than a sauce. But barbecue is still very good. Staff are friendly and service is fast. read more
