Lucius Q

Real talk. Norwood Location @ Factory 52 Gatherall I was expecting a lot more from Lucius Q. Not great, but not bad. I gave the Fuego a try. B- at best and the Mac N Cheese was a C+. DEFINITELY not a $5Mac n cheese, maybe $3. While the Fuego sandwich was tasty It was more salty than anything. The sausage was tasteless, BUT the brisket was HEAVLY salted. Possibly will go back, but not gonna go out of my way to do so.

Went to Lucius Q Norwood location for the first time. Got the brisket sandwich, should've inspected it before taking it home. Sandwich was completely dry, no bbq, just somewhat fatty strips of meat on a dry bun. Why no sauce? I'm confused and disappointed. Not a good experience at all.

Had a great dinner at LuciusQ's Pendleton location earlier this week - a friend wanted to check it out in prep for a party he's planning. Service was attentive, fast and friendly, parking was adjacent -on the street or in a huge lot just across the street. The exposed brick, string lights and reclaimed wood trim added intriguing authenticity. But the FOOD! Absolutely delicious! I had the most amazing smoked Turkey sandwich (one of several meats on their menu,) with my choice from their five homemade bbq sauces. Think of an excuse to stop in; it's definitely worth the trip!

Great little spot for bbq. Generous portions. We got take out and were happy to find bbq in the area vs having to drive down to OTR or Blue Ash. Burnt ends are flavorful. The sides are standard and solid. Brisket was nice too but didn't come with sauce. Maybe we had to get that on our own some where but missed that. They are in the new Norwood food hall so parking is simple and plenty of seating for crowds and gatherings.

We thought we were driving to an actual restaurant location like the one in OTR but to our surprise we found this location at Factory 52. Not sure where...it's the old building of the Playing Card Company. Food was delicious especially the brisket (delicious) and the pulled pork sandwich w/ mild sauce (must try)!! Service was quick for a Saturday afternoon at 1pm especially since the place was busy. There's 9 other restaurants to choose from. Friendly atmosphere. And Aces pickle ball is across the parking lot. Looking for somewhere new to try in Cincinnati I'd suggest driving down here.

I've had the OTR location at least 3 times and I've always loved it. The excitement I felt walking into Gatherall & BOOM, I spot Lucius Q right away. My excitement was so real. I gave the main location a 4 but I'm bumping them up to a 5. I was disappointed with the Mac before but this Mac was right with my soul this time around. The brisket was fire as usual. Small menu here with turkey, burnt ends, pulled pork and I don't remember the rest. Turning out to be in my top 5 for BBQ places in Cincy.

Yep, it's open at Factory 52. Enjoyed a turkey dinner and cole slaw. It was quite tasty! Neat little food court with fast service. Can't wait until they built this out further.

Perfectly cooked and flavored BBQ meats! Sides are generously portioned and pricing is very fair for the quality /amount of food you get!

Lucius Q is brand new at Factory 52's Gatherall and their food is a AMAZING.

In a town that has a lot of good bbq joints, Lucius Q has risen to the top! Obnoxiously good brisket, pulled pork, and well their entire menu is awesome. Try the Pig Mac! Their sauces are the best too (sorry Eli's)! They employ some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and I always feel welcome and that my business is appreciated! If you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out. Their smoked wings have no business being that good. Its honestly not fair! The wings are tender, have great texture, and just the right amount of smoke! Try them with some of their Alabama white sauce! This place is a Bonafide Cincy Treasure!!!!
