Just Q'in Restaurant

This was a perfect find as we traveled through Cincy on our way to KY. We are currently trying a Carnivore diet & it isn't easy to find food in a restaurant. We were able to order a 3 meat platter with no sides. We got chicken, brisket & ribs. You could taste the smoke & the meat just melted in your mouth! It was plenty for the 2 of us. The place is quaint & filled with inspirational messages all over the walls. Definitely would stop again on our way home!

The month of December came bearing gifts of great food and amazing company. While in Cincinnati we ate at Just Q'in and this was the food highlight of the trip. This meat was amazing and the service was on point. Ever since my trip to Canada I have been obsessed with pastrami and the meat here did not disappoint. Juicy and tender. I also had the short ribs and like all other short ribs it isn't a cut of meat that's for me. It was good. The sides lived up to the hype and u just felt Luke the only thing missing was sliced bread! The place had a cool vibe with limited seating so you can't take an entire bus load to eat in. Would I go back, yep soon as I land. Should you go? Yep as your first and last meal.

A little on the pricey side, but the food was great! Got a sandwich (pastrami sandwich) for carry out.

Was in town for a conference and me and the fellas were hungry. Just Q'in was just what we were looking for. My favorite BBQ is Texas Burnt tips. Just Q'in stacks up with the best Texas Tips I've had. The sides, usually afterthoughts at BBQ spots, were great too. The greens were flavorful. And the peach cobbler was legit. Also, the service was top-notch. The owners clearly care about their clientele. It was clean, and they cut the brisket right out in front. We had an Argentinian with us (they have some of the best beef in the world) and he also gave his hearty thumbs up. If you want good bbq from a local, not a chain, Just Q'in is just right.

Came here on a Friday night as they were closing and they were unfortunately out of most of their meat, besides the chicken and pastrami. We opted to try both of the remaining meats and whatever sides they had left for our take out dinner to try to get a full taste for Just Q'in... the Pastrami was TO DIE FOR - so juicy and full of flavor. We wished we had gotten more of it! The sides were really great as well - we loved the coleslaw and collard greens the most, with the mac and cheese and cornbread following at close seconds. The place itself was very inviting and the people working there beyond welcoming and friendly. We were sad that we could not enjoy the space due to the timing we were there and how they were closing up - but we will definitely be back to try some of the other meats and get more pastrami!

Really good BBQ ! I end up going back the next day to the college hill location . The people are beyond polite . Can seem a bit pricey but unfortunately that's has more to do with the economy and not necessarily the business just overcharging . I'd recommend going !

This was a catered event and I thought the food was pretty good (w/ the exception of the chicken, a bit dry inside and outside).I completely enjoyed the the brisket and pulled pork. Cole slaw, mac n cheese and greens were nice but not anything special. I would surely return to try takeout.

We love, trying new restaurants when traveling and are especially drawn to barbecue places. I have to say this restaurant has such a friendly and enthusiastic team. Because it was our first visit, they extended a behind the scenes tour of the smoker areas out back. What great hospitality! We also were given samples of their smoked brisket chili, which was not on the menu yet and was wonderful!We ordered the sliced brisket - it is available in moist or lean varieties. Our sides were baked beans, cornbread, and potato salad. For $3 more you can add a side of burnt ends, so we did just that. The sweet tea was just what I needed that day - it's the little things! Everything we ordered was very good and I would order the same meal on my next visit. With a bowl of that chili! Overall a great experience from the entire team, and I will certainly be back when I am in the area. A+

First time in and first impression was just what I was hoping for, laid back and all the smells you would want at a BBQ joint. What had us interested to come by was discovering them at Taste of Cincinnati.You order at the counter where their menu is on the wall from specials to all the meats and sides. I had a hard time picking as everything sounded so good!Now I find it hard to review BBQ food because there are many different ways and styles of this kind of food. You can argue that there's a right way and a wrong way to do BBQ. It's better in this state vs that state or it has to be done this way or that. I have tried a lot of BBQ and honestly have not found my fix in a while. I really was not expecting any thrills just assuming I'd be in the same old BBQ rut. I was pleasantly surprised!My husband and I shared some brisket and burnt ends with sides of mac and coleslaw. Brisket was deliciously juicy and melts in your mouth. Burnt ends had some of the tastiest rub, they were kind of like burnt end nuggets. Unfortunately some of them were pretty tough to chew and dry but when you got a good meaty one it was really good. You really don't need the BBQ sauces when there is so much flavor like these meats had, but theirs were a delicious compliment that included a hot BBQ, a sweet and tangy BBQ and a mustardy sauce.Okay so I know meat is the star of BBQ but this gal also loves her sides! Hands down some of the best coleslaw I've ever had. Was the perfect sweetness with vinegar and seasonings, so fresh it tasted like it's made daily. Mac was good, just a nice simple flavor, but what's really good that I was lucky enough to sample at the Taste of Cincinnati was their mac and cheese with brisket. Now that's a mac and cheese!Service was friendly with being very focused on preparing orders and prepping food. Vibe felt like your neighborhood BBQ with what seemed like a lot of locals coming by to chat and pick up food. We left with full bellies, 2 free stickers and a bright smile from the hostess to come back soon! I'm excited to get my fill next time and try their pastrami and chicken with sweet tea and cornbread too.

Fantastic BBQ. We had the burnt ends, brisket and pulled pork. All meats cooked perfectly!
