Went there for the first time a couple years after they opened. Been wanting to try but just never went. I regret going and won't be returning. The only reason it's got a 3 star instead of 2 is because of the nice service.

To start: I order food to go and the chef wouldn't stop staring at my wife and I and he was also eating while he was cooking our food.

I got a hang over burger. It had... more

One step up from a fast food place

We visited this place for the first time in July 2014. We tried to avoid going to a fast food type place and we'd say this is just about one step up from one. The decor is very simple, no frills or flair or ambiance. It's an eating place with plain tables, chairs but they do have real cutlery and... more

Went here on a recommendation. The menu covers all kinds of food from bar-be-que to seafood. Don't know what compelled me to order catfish but it sounded good. They called it Cajun, guess cause they loaded it with pepper. The breading was crispy and light but the fish inside was mush which leads me to believe they pull it out of the freezer straight to the frier. I had Mac & cheese with slaw... more

Good old fashioned southern BBQ

Took my son for dinner one night, wasn't too busy, there is lots to choose from if you love meat! Plenty of side dishes, not just your average fries! My son had mashed taters and they were great! Pulled pork is great! Price is average for a sit down meal, but you get big portions! I recommend it!

Tough one to rate

Let me start by saying....I have a feeling this place could be and is better then what I had for lunch today..
Business lunch 2 of us- Family platter - Ribs, Wings, Meatloaf and pulled pork - Fries Coleslaw and potato salad - 4 pcs of corn bread.
I cannot complain about the service...The portion size was good...
I feel... more

Awesome - meat lovers delight

We had breakfast sat morning and inquired if they could handle a party of 30 that evening and they agreed. They managed the group well and everyone was happy with their dinner and the service. Our table had the family platter and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We were very excited when we found out a barbecue place was opening in Brantford, The anticipation was almost unbearable! Finally, the restaurant opened their doors and just standing in the parking lot gets your mouth watering with the incredible smell of smoked meats.

Before the restaurant opened we did some research on the website for other locations that were already open. There are some... more

Lunch at Q BBQ

Stopped here for lunch last week for a quick soup and sandwich, my first visit. I noticed a sign on the door that the restaurant was featured on You got to Eat Here on the food network, so I wanted to check it out, plus I love bbq. On the menu theres lots of bbq options, ribs, pulled pork, brisket... more

The food was mediocre. Edible but not memorable. The kids grilled cheese looked microwaved and then quickly fried to crisp the outside. The smoked meatloaf was very ok. Nothing special. The south of the border chicken had decent flavour but the chicken was a cheap piece. The creole rice was bland.

The place was clean and comfortable. The service was slow. The server we had, had two tables to... more

Great if your on crack

This food is not worth the money they charge. You can find much better food at the county fair! The staff is an excellent display of people there for a pay cheque and nothing more. The first time we went we were severely ripped off and let down with less than edible food. Second chance was just as disappointing.

Great restaurant

This restaurant is decent. I love the beef brisket, the meat is great. Also the fries are fresh, and the sides are great. I've been here about 7 or 8 times. It really doesn't disappoint.

Presentation of food was good. Portions were generous. I was told by the waitress that they were chosen for "You Gotta Eat Here" was for their Cambridge location, so this was a little misleading.

Our server was very pleasant, and answered all our questions.

Have to visit

Overall a great place i work at giant tiger right behind the q as we call it and i recommend to alot of my customers i go at least once every couple weeks sometimes more love the food and the staff is fabulous even the kitchen staff are great highly recommend everyone to visit here an se e for yourself... more

Love the place

Me and my Better Half have eaten at the Q BBQ Eatery twice now. I recall having a good meal with no problems the first time we went, Now this second time visiting, me having the Jambalaya and the better half having the 1/2 chicken. I loved the Jambalaya, my wife, who I must say before I say anything else... more

No service - we left

We went into this restaurant tonight and Costa "served" us - NOT!!
Two other tables in use when we were there. We were greeted and sat at a table then promptly ignored.
After making dining decisions the wait began. We finally got up and left - went across the street to a restaurant where we were promptly looked after.
Won't... more

Driest meat ever

When a person orders a meal it should be served in a timely fashion. This place is slower than slow. The food you are served should resemble the food you ordered. We ordered beef brisket and it should have been called beef jerky. They cooked the life out of the poor thing twice over. The bread they served it on... more

Great pulled pork sandwiches and fries. Not always the most accurate on the pick-up times, but the staff is friendly and the food fantastic for lunches.

Just so-so

We dined later on a Sat. night after the rush was over. Decor was very nice, menu had enough choice, although not a lot of healthy choices but this is not supposed to be a place for health nuts. We all thought the prices were a bit high but don't mind paying a bit more for great food. Sadly, the... more

Definitely a winner

Absolutely no complaints! Huge portions. Extensive menu. Friendly and fast service.
Accessible on major thoroughfare with ample parking.

Warm atmosphere, reasonable prices and friendly staff

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone to eat, on their own or with family and friends.
The décor is relaxing and warm, staff are very friendly food is very good. The side dishes - scalloped potatoes, beans and pasta are very good.

Breakfast Special

Great Breakfast! Good value and the food is great. The homefries are real potatoes and you cant beat the price. Excellent service too.

breakfast

We believe it's the best price in brantford for breakfast.Quality,and quanity,are great.Very clean,atmosphere is great.Even the little things like little muffins to start your meal.Nice touch goes along way!!!

Great food

Our server was great and so was our food. She made a drink to our specifications and was extremely friendly. I'd go back again for the food and the service.

Hmm, we were looking forward to our meal so it was a real disappointment

My husband and myself finally tried this restaurant which has been open in Brantford for a few months now, is smelled really good when we walked in but it was downhill from there. Stella is my beer of choice, nope sold out. The waitress was nice enough to give my husband a taste of one of the ales they had... more

Yummy Lunch

My husband and I went for lunch. He had the chicken club and I had the 1/2 chicken. I brought home more than half of my chicken and my ceasar salad. The ceasar salad was made with real bacon and real bread crumbs... A little heavy on the parmesan (which was the only thing not real)but it was good. My... more

going downhill too soon

When this establishment 1st opened we dined & there & had a good experience so we took home a take-out menu, since we order take-out more than we eat out. The 1st time we ordered take-out the food was amazing. We ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. The bun was so soft & fresh it melted in your mouth & the... more

Great Breakfast for $3.29

I've been curious about trying this place since it opened. But I wondered about a "BBQ Breakfast". Right now they are advertising a classic breakfast for $3.29, Monday through Friday so I took my Dad out for breakfast last week. The first surprise: this isn't a self-serve restaurant - they have waitstaff. The second surprise: complimentary blueberry/lemon mini muffins while... more

Average Experience

A couple weeks ago my girlfriend and I went to Q BBQ wanting to try someting a little different. After we sat down we waited a few minutes to be greeted and to receive our drink order. We then took a few minutes to look at the menu and placed an order for a Meat platter (3 different kinds of... more

Questionable Southern Authentisity

The pulled pork was not cooked in the bbq sauce, but rather cooked as a pork roast, pulled and them had the sauce applied. Not really the way it is cooked in the South. It was served cold and had to be sent back for re-heating. The final presentation of the so called "southern puled pork" lacked flavor and was... more

Average Experience Overall

The food tasted fine, but was pricey, especially for the fast food atmosphere of the restaurant. The service was slow and the kid's meals were expensive. We were excited by all the choices of sides, but they were mediocre in taste so, disappointing. For the price we paid, we could think of many other places we would rather go and... more

Taco Salad was generous, fresh and delicious. Service was good, decor is nicely done although the place seems a bit small. Lots of BBQ options.

Amazing breakfast

Breakfast here is incredible. Im so happy that when you purchase fruit. Its not the typical melon . I recieved pinapple apple peaches and grapes! The staff here are very friendly and have to say this is the best spot in town for breakfast.

Excellent BBQ. Experience

Amazing authentic bbq. As good as my girlfriend and I have had in the USA
Ribs brisket meatloaf and sausage was excellent
Thank u for a great dining experience. We will be returning again and again

A great place for breakfast too

We had eggs and bacon, potatoes, tomato slice and toast. Lots of refills on the coffee. Big servings and the the bacon is very good! Very reasonable price and really good service.
Ribs and chicken are very good too!

Excellent food and pricing. Place could be nicer

The food is very very good, service was good, portions are perfect and plentiful. I can say everything on the menu sounded good, and the smoked chicken and burger were excellent. The place could have nicer tablea and booths, and it needs a patio, but it looked like they were about to start building one. Come here if you are... more

Just Plain Darn Good Southern Meal

If you love the taste of smoked meat then this is the place for you. I have a $1200.00 smoker, so I was Curious if there smoke meat was as good as mine, and YES it was. First went for lunch and then went for breakfast twice. Everything was cook to perfection. The brisket was done just right with just... more

Large portions

We went to this restaurant with the hopes of the late breakfast - that until recently they had on the sign. Breakfast Is now finished at 11:00 am during the week and 1:00 Sat. and Sun. I heard about the Eggs benedict on brisket, they also have the option of classic (ham), mediterranean, and on pulled pork (starting at 8.99... more

Fantastic

Delicious food & great service:) I recommend the Texas brisket platter & the smoked jumbo wings are so good!! Kids eat free Thursdays & Sundays!! Come check out this new fully licenced restaurant! (Takeout also available)

I believe this place just opened up today, so in hindsight, I should probably be a little more lenient on my review, but overall, they didn't really seem to be "Struggling" due to being new, so I'll just lay it all out there.

Arrived at 5:20 to order takeout.
I had looked online at the Cambridge Store's website so I already knew what I wanted.
I was directed to the counter to place my order... more
