My 6 & 9 year old nephews would argue the reason to come to Queen City
Q is because of the Mac n' Cheese. They aren't wrong, what is often an
after thought at other barbecue restaurants is art here. The macaroni
is never watery, the cheese is consistent thru the dish & there's just
a touch of crust on top.
You may think I'm ignoring the meat of the issue. Pardon the pun. The
Q slow smokes the meat that you will smell driving up 7th St parking
deck (yes they validate). Rather than start a religious war amongst
the regional styles The Q serves the hand pulled pork naked and
provides, eastern, western, South Carolina mustard and their own house
sauces. Pork isn't the only option here there's brisket, ribs, chicken
& local sausages. If you're real hungry pick 3 or4 for a platter. You
can bring your vegetarian friends to choose from the variety of sides.
If you're in a different mood get the flying tuna tacos with Asian
slaw. There's plenty of craft beer to wash down your choice.
Inside you'll find the place is rustic upscale combining local barn
beams as accents to a casual seating area reflective of the uptown
location.
