The Q | Fort Bragg - Fort Bragg, California

This was my wife and I first time in this little town, and being that we love BBQ, this place seems fitting to try. First off, we love the atmosphere of the moms and pop vibe with nice views of the Pacific Ocean. The service was excellent and we had no complaints there. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't something we had to have again. I ordered a brisket meal with mac n cheese and corn bread. In my opinion, brisket wasn't really bbq qualified. It was cooked good, just not season like real bbq. Corn bread was OK, and the mac n cheese was my favorite. My recommendation is that you don't come here if you're enticed by the BBQ because you might be disappointed. However, if you just want good food, I say give it a try.

We always make a point to stop by this BBQ spot whenever we're in town. This time, we ordered to go. I had the grilled salmon with fries, and it was delicious. The salmon had a perfectly crispy sear on the outside while staying moist inside. My husband went for the baby back ribs with fries. The ribs were flavorful but slightly dry. The BBQ sauces were either too sweet or too vinegary, but the meat was great on its own without it.

We ordered the brisket and polish sausage. I have never had brisket this bad. Cut thick and so dry it was crumbly. No barbecue flavor whatsoever. The sausage was dry and burnt. I will say the sauces are very good but the food was tasteless

Quintessential hole in the wall bbq joint. The menu is the standard affairs of pulled port, ribs, and chicken along with a good selection of sides.

The pulled port was flavorful and not overly dry. The slaw was also seasoned and paired well with the pulled pork.

The sides are sometimes the let down for bbq joints but not here. The Mac and Cheese was good along with their baked beans. Only mark against the sides was frozen onion rings that are run of the mill.

The staff was friendly and accommodating to make sure the order was right.

The Q was awesome! We showed up on a Wednesday evening for dinner, and the Q was quiet. The menu had endless delicious items that we wanted to try and a good beer selection. We had the blackened cod taco, macaroni and cheese, oysters, and fish and chips southern style. The staff were accommodating to all my menu questions and helped us out when we had questions about what to do in the area as tourists 🙂

Ok, so we used to come here for years when visiting Fort Bragg. This time, it was empty (one couple), and we wondered if it was new owners. We ordered 3 bowls of clam chowder, and it took about 15 minutes for her to bring them out. (Usually chowder is served immediately) My wife and daughter tasted theirs and both cringed and said something was wrong. I tried mine, and sure enough, it tasted like spoiled cream or milk. It was disgusting. I told the girl who took our order and she did not say much. I told her she probably should not serve it to anyone else, and she said, "It was the last of the batch." Basically it seemed kind of like she already knew and served us anyway and is probably why it took so long. Definitely not going back and for 3 days while in town doesn't look like many others are going back either...

We ate here for the first time in years and I was kinda disappointed 😐 we ordered full rack baby back ribs w corn bread n fries, salmon potato salad chili beans and half dozen oysters. Honestly the oysters were MY FAVE out of everything. The food was very bland i put lots of hot sauce an salt lol but really tender. The owner/staff super nice people 👌

My goodness. The baby back ribs were sooooooooooo good. We came back the next day to try another dish. I loved that they served beer too. Cheers to the cook on some of the best BBQ I've ever had and I'm from Kansas City, Missouri area. No ribs in Memphis or KC that can compare to these tender ribs. Potatoe Salad was amazing too. God bless
