    The Q platter is fantastic. I've been here 1 time and was impressed. It is very nice spot for lunch and meetings. Great place for students to study.

    The mac and cheese was different, in a good way. The BBQ was really good. We had it once before and I didn't really like it. But this time, everything was great. Got the 10 meat sampler to share.

    They have a sink by the fountain drinks so you can clean up after your meal. There will always be that bit of bbq sauce that you missed.

    The Q-Platter is awesome for 2 people. You get a little bit of everything, not a single item on there disappoints. Hush puppies are great.

    If you get a plate with fries, you better share those fries. They give you enough for two people.

    Good beef brisket sandwich. The hush puppies were good too. Not a bad place to go for lunch or dinner.

    The meat is always an option. Pace yourself and you can fit in a second order for lunch.

    Love the Burnt Ends Sandwich, Q-Style. Substitute Bleu Cheese, and it is a meal fit for a king. And the fries are killer.

    Ask for the Triple Q. It isn't on the menu, and it isn't for the wimpy.
