Let me start by saying, I have one word and that is SUPERB!!!!!!After a day of errands, Shauni and I were ready to eat. After executing a search on Yelp, I came across GQ BBQ and we decided to pull up. Y'all know I love me some BBQ. Upon arrival, the location was super to find as it sits on the main road. When pulling into the parking lot there is parking on both sides as well as parking in the back. The outside was clean and vibrant. We knew we were in for a treat as we were able to smell the bbq before even getting to the restaurant. Yes, the power of a good aroma to captivate the sense of smell. Heading inside, the location kept with the vibrant color on the walls as to draw your eyes to the menu. There are ample seating options as well so if you desire to eat in as we did, there is indoor and outdoor seating. Taking some time to review the menu, I decided on the Rib Dinner with Baked Beans, Collards, and I ordered two orders of cornbread as well and decided to not get the white bread that comes with the meal. To note, the cornbread is an extra charge. Once our order was placed, we took a seat and enjoyed the games that were playing on the televisions. As we were engrossed in conversation, before we knew it, our food was ready. I retrieved my plate and headed to my seat. The moment I opened that plate, my entire life smiled. After being enticed by the aromas, I was now overtaken by the visual presentation of this meal. As I opted for the sauce on the side, I was able to see the ribs in their naked state and capture the full fragrance of seasoned pork without the coverings of sauce. Babeeeeeeeeeee, GQ BBQ showed off with this meal. Let's talk the food:Ribs: well seasoned, tender, meaty, minimal gristle, the right amount of fat for a nice chew, great portion size as the dish comes with ribs and rib tips. The sauce was an added layer of joy. I opted to mix their Gresham blend with the Sweet and my mouth had a full mouthgasm of robust flavors, joy, and excitement. These ribs were the absolute bomb with or without the sauce. Baked Beans: perfectly cooked, well seasoned, fresh. Collards: well doctored, tender,perfect pairing for the ribs. Cornbread: absolute gold status, perfectly sweet, cakey with a light crumble, buttery, golden baked, worth the extra cost. The cornbread is slightly small, so I would suggest getting three. LoL. Overall, GQ BBQ was an amazing experience. The ribs dominate the meal as they should, however, the sides compliment the ribs very well. The entire meal is a 10/10 and I will be back very soon for another order. Though I live nowhere near GQ BBQ, I will make sure to make my am way back a few times a year to have my soul fed and taste buds tantalized.

When I first went and got some of the ribs the service was good, the ribs were fresh and good, then I ordered some from Door Dash and the ribs tasted old and they reheated it. Then I went back later that day and I had 3 ppl in front of me and they barely had food to feed them. Then I went twice in one week and they didn't have any food either day, and I called before I went due to my last experience and the lady that answered said they have food and when I got there they didn't have anything. The ambiance is quiet. So it's a hit and miss plus the Parking is funny. So it's not a lot of parking and it's off a busy street so turning in sometimes can be hard.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this place. I've been looking for a bbq joint w good bbq and sides. It has its own parking lot and looks like a fun place to come and hang out. I saw a pool table on the inside. I got the rib tips which were excellent. They have about 4 or 5 different bbq sauces. I tried the hot. I like hot/spicy but the flavor wasn't that great so I got the house bbq which was very good. My sides were green beans and greens. They were VERY good and flavorful. My mom and I both raved about the greens. They also have a cake display (didn't see cake on the menu though)Anna's used to be my go to for bbq but their food isn't as good as it used to b. I will definitely be returning. I gave this place 4 out of 5 stars due to the long wait. I called my order in and when i got there, not only was it not ready, I had to wait an additional 30 minutes. What's the point of calling in an order???

Yum yum! Their Rib and Chicken Combo it is delicious! Worth every penny. They cooked it the way it supposed to be. I was visiting from California and this place definitely exceeded my expectations. Lets not forget about their amazing costumer service. The lady that helped my coworker and i was a true sweetheart. I will definitely visit again this place. :)

Stopped into this BBQ establishment that was rated pretty high, and it is in my neighborhood. This is more of a carry out spot than a sit down restaurant. The ambiance is not the best, but it is not the draw either.I wanted food for the Family so I picked up the "Out East Feast" which gave a variety of what they had to offer. The ribs were not as tender as I prefer. There was a dry rub that seasoned the meat well, but it was not juicy and falling off the bone. The chicken was really good. Tender, juicy pieces that were well seasoned and had good smoke flavor. I could tell someone took the time to brine the meat because the flavor was consistent throughout. The meal came with jumbo wings and rib tips, both of which was good. For sides there is your choice of the usuals. We had baked beans which had no meat in them, and potato salad which was bomb. This spot had great choices for sauces also. We had the Gresham special which was tangy and not spicy. I will have to try them again another time to hopefully get a better experience with regards to the ribs. If not I can always pick up a bottle of their sauce!!

Our order was taken promptly upon entering GQ's Bar B Que. We ordered the Center Cut Rib Sandwich and the Pittsburgh Plate - Late Night with Collards and Mac & Cheese - good flavors. This restaurant was very clean and for some fun and entertainment, there was a full-size billiards table in the dining area for free pool while you wait, along with tv's.

I arrived at the location and it wasn't open, I was informed by a woman who came outside that she was waiting on the "cashier" to show up and she then pointed to a vehicle and said that was him and for me to come back in 10 minutes. I returned and was the first customer, the lady who told me she was waiting on the cashier took my order, so I'm wondering who she was talking about that caused the restaurant to not open as scheduled. I made my order which was for ribs, chicken, and rib tips, collard greens and Mac and cheese as a side. I arrived at 12:08 pm (they are supposed to open at noon) and the whole process took about 45 minutes. Then I get home. My food seems like it was old. There is no way the Mac and cheese was made the same day. The ribs were not tender, quite tough, and very fatty, I can't even bite the rib tips. I haven't touched the chicken because I'm so disappointed in the overall experience. I've had their food before, but this is definitely my last time getting food from here ever.

The food was good but it was a weird spot. There were really no tables to eat at, inside or out. I assume this must be a takeout heavy place. The hot bbq sauce was very tasty. We had ribs, chicken, tips, Mac and cheese and potato salad. All were good.
