The Q Restaurant Bar - Napa

I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and greens with a side of baked mac n cheese. It’s was quite yummy!

First off the service was very good. That's about it. Now let's get to the food. This was by far the worst BBQ restaurant I have ever been to. If you read my other reviews, you will see that I am very critical of BBQ, being that I grew up with it and worked in a BBQ joint in Tennessee. What we ate here is not BBQ it is a tragedy. We ordered ribs, chicken and pulled pork. Every meat we ate was like eating cardboard. Most of our BBQ was left uneaten, a dry pile of meat. It was not taken home. The fried chicken was okay, but KFC or Popeyes is better. The dark meat pieces were okay but the breast was a Heimlich maneuver just waiting to happen. Fried cardboard as dry as my humor. The only thing worth eating was the cornbread. It was really good. We took this home. So, for $100, we ate cornbread for dinner. There must be a reason the BBQ was so bad. Maybe they lost their pit boss.

Super BBQ spot! Location in downtown so street parking or garage are an option. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather under covered seating. Super hospitable, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Soulful old school R&B music really gives you that “family bbq/reunion” feel. The frozen margaritas were balanced (not too much ice or not enough alcohol). Highly recommend the bbq mix plate if you want to have some of everything from their awesome meat menu. Great for family, date, hangout nights. They even make their own bbq sauces that are a must try from sweet and tangy with a little spice to a lot of spice. The baked Mac and cheese is made al dente with crunchy and cheesy. Collard greens are also a must with their house vinegar. Also clean bathroom with historic photos.

DID NOT SMELL LIKE BBQ. I ordered the rubs and brisket. Both were super thick and D R Y. Fries were initially brought out cold, then 3nd batch was overcooked. Service was decent, the servers were nice and responsive, and the atmosphere was decent. Oh, the wings (appetizer) were seasoned well, but pretty tough. All the meat was definitely overcooked. My partner says the fish was excellent. That's great, BUT this place is advertised as a BBQ spot...Oh yea, I have a gluten and dairy allergy and had NO reaction...so they get an A for that

Went here on whim for my birthday. It was very good, wait staff was excellent, bar keeper made a very good drink, if you go at happy hour cocktails are half. We got the Q, for two more than we could finish. If we get to go back to Napa we'll be at the Q enjoy
