Q Barbeque

Best collard greens in Richmond. Goes great with the pulled pork! The service is courteous.

In town for my son's wrestling tournament down the street at Henrico when we came across this bbq joint and happy we did!Starting with the service, we needed a place to accommodate our entire team last minute and they were happy to take on our party of 16 with no problem! The staff was very friendly and helpful!The food was great! Ribs were falling off the bone, the burnt ends with juicy and melting in my mouth, the chicken was seasoned perfectly! The accompanying sauces on the table were awesome! Along with a small selection of beers on tap and bottled, us parents were definitely satisfied. Overall ambiance was laid back, our wrestlers appetites were tamed and were less rowdy once their bellies were full. I'd definitely eat here again!

Finally had a chance to hit Q BBQ while driving back up from the South this last time through after trying to plan this stop for years. I had always wanted to come here when it was owned by Tuffy Stone and I actually wasn't even aware that he had sold it until after I ate there and Tuffy actually commented on my video of the spot himself to let me know. The place was large and clean with plenty of seating and the gentleman who helped me at the counter was friendly. The meal came to around $24 for two meats, two sides, cornbread, and a fountain beverage. For the two meats I chose to go with Regular Brisket as well as brisket burnt ends. The ol' go big or go home mentality...hit me with both big beef items. For sides I chose mac and cheese as well as collard greens. This plate is much like a tale of two cities for me, the protein offerings were excellent, the rest was good, not great. The regular brisket was incredibly tender and I was having a hard time even keeping it on my fork from the plate to my mouth. Good flavor on it and a decent smoke ring as well. I have had better smoked brisket in my life but only maybe a handful of times. The burnt ends were also delicious and even more tender, but they were slightly one dimensional. They did have a sauce on the table that was a bit spicy though and when I added that they were a homerun. I wouldn't turn down either of those brisket options any time they were offered to me!The mac and cheese was pretty good but nothing that was super memorable. The collards were the same for me. I enjoyed them enough to eat everything on my plate, but next time in I'd definitely opt for trying other items. The cornbread also had good flavor but was dry. I ran the cornbread at the end through the leftover sauce from my burnt ends and that was a nice combo! All in all I am happy I finally got to stop in here and give it a shot and I'd go back and try them again. Q Barbecue - Didn't Suck!

Counter service barbecue joint -- cashier was friendly and helpful. I ordered the barbecue plate with collards and fries. There was a fountain drink station with lemonade and tea as well. Barbecue was good if not spectacular. There were four sauces to choose from on the table. Collards were very good. Fries could have been cooked longer and they only gave one ketchup packet. I wish ketchup was just on the table. Portion sizes were good.

For some reason, I remembered this place being worse than it was when I first went here a couple years back. I was throughly surprised on every aspect here.To start, the hush puppies were super good. They were flaky and soft on the inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside. The cornbread was alright. I'm not a huge fan of it to begin with but I didn't mind it as a change of pace. The potato salad was really good. It was creamy, and packed with flavor. Instead of a mustard driven potato salad, it was more of a classic style, which I appreciated. It tasted fresh as well. The Mac and cheese wasn't the best or something I'd automatically order again, but it was serviceable. I thought it was pretty creamy, and the char on top was nice. It could've used more flavor like pepper or some type of seasoning in my opinion. Next, I thought the onion rings were really good. They are huge and you get a lot of them for an order. They had good crispiness and the batter tasted really good. Next I'd like to point out the amazing bbq sauce selection that they have at each table. I thought they were AMAZING. The sauces alone made me want to come back here. They hit the spot on them. The pulled chicken was phenomenal as well. It's creamy and melts in your mouth, which I loved. Most pulled chicken is dry and gets boring after a while, this one doesn't at all. It's seasoned nicely and again pairs super well with the bbq sauces. The pudding was good. My girlfriend isn't a huge fan of banana pudding so I got this all to myself. It did taste like it had been sitting out for a while, the wafers weren't crisp but instead soggy. This thankfully didn't take away from the flavor. Overall, the service was fast, the restaurant is spacious and seating is comfortable. I want to try this place out again and try the bbq before I give it a full five stars. If they can hit on that, I'd be willing to bump it up. Pricing really isn't terrible for bbq. I think all of this was like 25 bucks. I'll be here again and I recommend this spot to anyone in glen allen!

I usually prefer burnt ends but I want to recommend the smoked chicken and wings. Corn muffin and baked beans were good as were the hush puppies. I always have ice tea with BBQ which they had. Service was quick and friendly. The place was nicely lit and very clean. if your a big time BBQ connissuer this place may not be for you.

While in Richmond area for my daughter's soccer tournament, we had to get some BBQ. This came highly recommended by other soccer parents, and it was close from our hotel, so we gave it a try. When we arrived, this place was packed and there was quite a line to order your food. We ordered the Big BBQ plates with brisket and ribs. The ribs were one of the best ones I've had in any BBQ places. I would come back just for that. It was very tender but not fall of the bones which I don't like. The brisket was good, but I wish they also offered moist brisket. We also enjoyed their wings - it was perfectly fried and we enjoyed the dry rub. Solid BBQ place in the Glen Allen, VA area.

We decided to try out Q on a Saturday for takeout at the dinner hour. Service was super fast and friendly l. Very easy process and short wait. I really enjoyed the ribs and beans! Potato salad was just ok. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. Large portions and enough for leftovers. I see why it's a busy spot. The corn bread was also delicious! I'd definitely go back for the ribs.

*only an update to my last review: still my favorite bbq restaurant in Virginia. We come here from DC. So far I've ordered: -ribs -burnt ends -brisket - pulled pork -sides: corn pudding and fries All phenomenal. They sell the bbq sauce and dry rub. Check it out!

I thought my ribs were a touch too salty, so was slightly disappointed. They were nice and tender though and I like their sweet sauce. Also had the brisket, which was tender, but I thought it was a bit on the dry side, I prefer my brisket with a little fat left on it, and again I thought slightly on the salty side. I did like my sides though, the mac and cheese and potato salad were great. I think the meat quality here is pretty good, you can tell.
