The food was great! When I go out, I want good food. Drinks are drinks and service is service, but the food makes all of the difference. I have heard some people complain about various aspects, but it all comes down to the food. I have never been a smoked meat guy, mostly because it is so hard to perfect. There is usually too much smoke and that's all I can taste. However, at Smokin' Q's, it tastes like the smoke was meant to be there and occurred naturally. I don't know how to describe it any better. It was fantastic. I read that someone thought the mac-and-cheese was runny? They must have brought that in from their home because the mac-and-cheese I got was thick and fantastic! The brisket cannot be beat. I recommend this place to everyone that is looking for BBQ or just looking for a cool place to have a drink. The patio is great, as long as it isn't too humid outside. I have eaten there and had food to go several times and it has never disappointed!! Try it, you'll love it!
