NakedQ

Food, service and ambiance was spot on. We were here for the Final Four. Popped in for a quick lunch, no wait. It is a walk up and order style like most BBQ joints. Being a Texan, we always talk a big game about our BBQ. This wasn't as smokey as our mesquite smoked meats. But it had a great flavor. I asked for burnt ends as my second meat and it wasn't as charred as I would normally want. It was more moist/wet like I would expect from a standard end cut of brisket. Sides were a little more sophisticated that normal BBQ joints. Cornbread was damn good. Sauce - I tried the sweet. It was very liquidly, not thick. But very flavorful. No complaints all. Would recommend and come back again.

Well it never fails, we came to get a nice dinner at 6:45 pm -2 hours before closing and we are again told they are out of turkey and ribs! At a BQ restaurant? You run out of ribs and turkey again? This is the third time in a row. I'm getting very annoyed with the lack of restaurant management - very poor management who are unable to fulfill the menu at this Westgate location. We used to come here about 3-4 years ago and it happened all the time so we stopped coming to this location. We decided to start coming again and it has now happened 3x in a row on different days, during the week and on weekends. Horrible customer service and looks as if the restaurant is run cheap to serve the owner and not the customers - whom should be priority or the restaurant would close down without repeat and new customers.Anyway, beware of this location when you decide to dine there expecting BQ and being told they don't have any. Horrible and disappointing.

First time finding this place !Food was great people were very friendly and helpful. Brisket and pulled pork was great, only to be upstaged by the cornbread. I asked for my last piece of cornbread to go in a container! They put that and another piece in a container and I'm eating it now'!So good !Great place !!!!

The food lacked any flavor. I ordered the 2 meat option but after trying mine and a bite off my friend's platter...just bland and gross. Even the sides had no flavor (I ordered the beans and mac n cheese). The bbq sauce was no help...

Wood smoked barbecue in a strip mall doesn't give high expectations, but the fare at NakedQ is surprisingly tasty.In from NJ and not wanting to wander too far in the sun, I walked the two blocks south of my hotel to the outer edge of Westgate and into NakedQ for a two meat platter.The menu is pretty standard: you have your meats (brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, smoked turkey, ribs, hot links) and your sides (slaw, beans, mac and cheese, veggies). My platter of smoked turkey, chopped brisket, mac and cheese, Carolina style slaw, and a piece of cornbread came out from the counter in just a few minutes. While the brisket was dry and the slaw lacked much punch or flavor other than vinegar, the turkey was excellent: moist and smokey. The mac and cheese was creamy good, and all were improved with the house made sauces (the spicy being the best)

Stopped in for lunch today with a colleague. The brisket sandwich (from the lean side) was the best I think I've ever had! The potato salad was good, but missing something... maybe salt. Their iced tea is a bit weak; but I will definitely be back several times before traveling back home!

NakedQ is a casual BBQ restaurant with (at this time) with three locations in metro Phoenix. The Glendale location is located in Westgate. It's casual you order and pay at the counter and seat yourself. It's called Naked BBQ because the food is seasoned nicely and doesn't come swimming in sauce but you can add on sauces yourself. My personal favorite meats I tried from NakedQ are the turkey and once in a while as a special they offer smoked corned beef. THOSE ARE BOMB! All the food is good but the turkey is extra special.Portions run large and prices are very reasonable.The service at this location was really great!

The employees are very nice here and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. That's about all the good I can say. The salad was about as much poorly shopped lettuce they could pack into the container with about 4 bites of dried our chicken on top. The beans were over salted. The cookie was over salted and left a bad after taste. Super disappointing to throw most of the food away for $40.

It's a nice and chill environment. Unfortunately their ribs were subpar. I had to soak them in BBQ just to get a flavor. They are not fall off the bone ribs. I give the establishment and exterior a cool 4 out of 5 but I have to give the ribs a 2.3 out of 5.

I really like this BBQ place. The food is always great! Service is friendly. You get a decent amount of food for the price you pay.
