I was looking for some Que around Clearwater and Tampa. Q Southern BBQ was along my route and very highly rated so it became my choice. Immediately when I walked in, I had employees there to help me with my selections. I wanted to try ribs, brisket, and pulled pork but they could only give me ribs in a half rack. With that information and my budget, I went with the 1/2 lb brisket and 1/4 pulled pork. The brisket was immaculate! It was juicy with a good bit of bark and fat. Everything you want from a brisket unless you are one of those who love the dry lean variety. The pulled pork was great too! For my sides, I asked the employee what he favorite was and she said mac and cheese without any hesitation. It was a superb choice as it was Cheesy and gooey. For my other side, I debated between beans and loaded baked potato salad. I went with the beans since they looked great, had bourbon, and I just had potato salad. Beans were also a superb choice with its smokiness and bourbon flavor. I loved the sauces as there are 7 - KC, Texas, Kentucky, Tampa, NC, SC, and Bama (have to ask for). The NC and SC you want for your pork. The NC is a very thin vinegar sauce that will do nothing but make a mess on brisket but the pulled pork soaks it in. The SC is a mustard BBQ sauce that just pairs well with pork. Bama sauce is a mayo base sauce that I would use only for chicken or turkey. The other 4 sauces all matched well with brisket. I liked the Kentucky the best with its bourbon flavor. The Tampa is a mild tomato base. The KC had a rich tomato flavor to it and Texas was a spicy tomato base. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Q Southern BBQ is worthy of a 5! read more

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. I went with 4 because the young lady at the counter was very friendly, the food was delicious, and they have Royal Crown cola on tap. Why, then, would I consider giving them only 3 stars? Because the pricing is absolutely insane. I know it's tough for restaurants these days to make money. That said...with a 15% gratuity, I paid $37 for 3/4 pound of BBQ chicken, a large side of collard greens, 2 baby ears of corn, and a fountain drink. Was it worth it? I mean, it was really good...but was it close to FORTY FREAKING DOLLARS good? I don't think any fast casual BBQ place is. Still, food and service were good enough to give them 4 rather than 3 stars. read more

This is the Best BBQ I have ever had inside of Pinellas County! I am somewhat of a Pit-master myself with some competition experience, I have a large smoker on a trailer. So you could say I am a BBQ Snob. I tried the Brisket, Burnt ends, and St. Louis Ribs and all three were Excellent! And that Mac and Cheese is the best I have ever had from any restaurant. If you've ever cooked barbecue, especially beef, then you know it's not cheap. And it's not just because of the meat prices, it's the time and love that is involved in the smoking process. My meal was worth every penny and I look forward to going again to try some other meats. There is a lotta love, and probably pride too, put into making this BBQ. If you want cheap BBQ then head down the road to Sonny's. But if you want excellent BBQ, Go To "Q". Think of it like getting a Steak from Outback versus Basom's or Burns. You absolutely get what you pay for. Obviously you are not gonna get that high end ambience, it's a BBQ joint. But you are gonna get some friendly and great service. I highly recommend Q Southern BBQ! read more

Q Southern BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Oldsmar, Florida

Great service and tasty food. We orded brisket, pulled pork and the grilled bbq chicken. All excellent choices. Our sides included mac n cheese, baked potato salad, baked beans and apple cobbler. The restaurant is unique in that you pay for the price of the meat based on weight. The meats we selected were all tender with great flavor. A good variety of bbq sauces to select from as well. While I was not a big cobbler fan before, after trying their version I'm now hooked. They also do catering. Would definitely recommend stopping in!! read more

Heard about this place on line. The food was good but not the best we've ever had but yes good. It's pretty much a take out cafeteria style place. Seating not very comfortable . I prefer a more restaurant atmosphere. No music in the background just tvs without the sound. You order yourself but they bring it to you. You tip like you were waited on but that's a whole other opinion. We wanted to try it so you play by the rules. I had a Brunswick stew. Very tomatoey. Some meat but honestly I would like more meat less corn and tomatos in my stew. Hubby got the brisket. Now that was good and would command a higher rating but I was rating everything rather than one item. Brisket was definitely a 4-5 star item. The price is not any cheaper than a regular restaurant which was a little disappointing because I would like to just get take out and bring it home if it would be less expensive. In any event, give then a try. Maybe you will less critical and expect less on a whole. read more

Word of mouth brought us here - The food and service will keep us coming back! You order at the counter and they bring it over to your table Meats are by the lb, but you don't have to get a full pound - so you can sample a little or a lot. We had the feast for 2 and only had 4 potatoes left over. Son got 1/2 pound each of smoked bologna and sausage with a side of Mac n cheese and corn - He's 6'4" and needed a box! Cute inside with plenty of seating and paper towels on the table with a full sauce bar. Country music playing inside and a TV for sports watching. Highly recommend and will be back - I'm a loyalty member now :) read more

This place finally opened in Oldsmar! We kept looking for the opening and when I checked the site there were reviews, so open! Our Sunday luncheon group this consisted of my wife, my eldest daughter, her daughter and a friend. We arrived around 12:30 and were immediately seated. A trend I guess is to order and pay at the counter, so we probably took longer than we should have. The two twenty-something girls each got a Pulled Pork Sack Lunch with a drink and chips for $9. The rest of us decided to try the Feast For Two, including Brisket, Ribs, Sausage, Wings, Potatoes and Corn, for $50. I also ordered half pint of Coleslaw, pint of Brunswick Stew, and a quart of Beans. I jokingly asked if they ever heard of North Carolina Vinegar Sauce, almost NO one has heard of it. They answered they not only heard of it but they have it and sells bottles of it. Then they offered me a taste to make sure it was what they said. It was!!! Ahhh! The song "Almost Heaven..." came to mind. AND they also carried the South Carolina Mustard Sauce. WoW. Just Wow. The girl's Sack Lunches came quickly. Our Feast was about 10 minutes wait, but well worth it. They bring it out and normally season all the meat, including salt, but we declined since my wife, and I are on no/low salt. So, they spread it out on the table. The Girl's loved their sandwiches. The Brunswick Stew was best I ever had, not a lot of veggies, almost all meat. Brisket was great, nice slices and just enough fat, cooked perfectly. Sausage was loved by my wife and daughter. Ribs, Coleslaw, and Beans were very good also. My only regret was that the Feast did not include Pulled Pork. Maybe a suggestion or swap in the future. And there was so much meat, we took the leftovers home and made two more meals of it. Then before we were stuffed, we had to try their Peach and Apple Cobblers, so I got a pint of each. We all tried each of it and were divided on which was the best, both were delicious. Most of the Cobblers came home with us also, for the next day. Very friendly and welcoming, excellent food and nice prices. I will be back very soon for the Pulled Pork sandwich. Oh, and each purchase gets you points for discounts off the next meal. Check it out! read more

Q Southern BBQ - Wings - Barbeque Near Me - Oldsmar, Florida

This is an interesting little place in the shopping strip behind Thornton's on Tampa rd and Forest Lakes blvd. On Tuesday night they have trivia starting at 6pm. We had their adult grilled cheese sandwiches which have chunks of brisket along with the cheese. Their cucumber salad was delicious but the collard greens were chewy and lacked flavor. It works cafeteria style so you order and pay and take your food to a table. read more

Proteins amazing. Burnt ends only available two days a week. Unfortunate because they're the best burnt ends I've ever had. Brisket and pork extremely good. Brunswick stew good. Cobblers delicious. Probably could add a couple more sides. read more

I grew up around southern BBQ and always judge great BBQ by the Brunswick stew and theirs is some of the best I have ever had. Very casual place, but the food is outstanding! If you like burnt ends, go Thursday or Friday (beware, they do run out). Can't recommend this place enough. read more

We ate it before I could get a picture. No-frills, just great bbq. We had brisket, wings, and slaw. The wings serving is huge and delicious. The brisket was tender and juicy with a perfect, charred fat cap. Only knock is beverages. RC sodas and not much of a beer/seltzer selection. read more

Food is pretty good and that's coming from me a guy who has cooked Q since 2000 and been in 5 different competitions with it and even won one of those. read more

Had the Brisket sandwich, beans, coleslaw and Mac N Cheese. All was amazing. The team made it fast. read more

OMG! What a find! On our way home from a doctor's appointment in Lutz and I wanted a brisket sandwich. I am tainted because we lived in Dallas for 5 years so I'm picky about my brisket. Wow! Was it good! Brisket nearly melted in your mouth. My husband had burnt ends and they were fabulous. Gonna have to try the one in Dunedin (it's closer) but I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Oldsmar just got a major upgrade with the opening of Q BBQ, and let me tell you--this place came to play. From the moment you walk in, you can smell the smoke, the seasoning, and the serious pride going into every single cut of meat. The customer service is on point from the second. You walk in till you leave. Also, they have a lunch menu daily until 2 PM- You get a sandwich your pick of pulled pork, chicken or sausage a bag of chips and a drink all for just $9! The brisket? Unreal. Perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. It has that beautiful bark you dream about and melts the moment it hits your tongue. Easily some of the best brisket I've had in Florida. The burnt ends are just as impressive. Rich, caramelized, smoky, and saucy in all the right ways. They're the kind of burnt ends you order "just to try" and then end up eating the entire portion before anyone else gets a bite. Only available on Thursdays and Fridays The chicken deserves its own shout-out. Juicy, seasoned beautifully, and smoky without being overpowering. You can taste the technique in every bite. And then... the Monster Beef Ribs. Only available on Saturdays--and absolutely worth planning your weekend around. These things are prehistoric in size and unreal in flavor. Perfect bark, perfect smoke, perfect tenderness. A true showstopper. The portion sizes are generous, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes like it's made by people who truly love barbecue. Q BBQ is the kind of spot you try once and immediately start recommending to everyone you know. Oldsmar got lucky with this one. Highly recommend. They have been open for 2 weeks, and we have gone at least 6 times already. How do you know the best thing on the menu if you don't try it all? read more

Honestly it doesn't matter what you get here. I've had half the menu and never disappoints. The burnt ends are so flavorful and saviory. Service is perfect and prices are great. Keep it up!!! read more

Great bbq. Trivia was fun and will be even better when everyone had heard of this place!

The food was good. The prices were outrageous. A brisket sandwich was not worth $15.00 plus a 1 cup of each beans and coleslaw at $5.00 each plus a fountain drink, plus tax tip. It was 25.00. Will not be going back read more

Give this BBQ place a shot! It's hard to find a good BBQ place in our area. This is a nice casual, locally owned, option.

Best local BBQ . Like the new location in Oldsmar. Burnt ends on Thursday and Friday are excellent. Self service requires side order before main which is a little odd but has nothing to do with the food quality which is excellent. read more
