What people say

Barbecue restaurants are known for their slow-cooked meats, homemade sauces, and delicious sides. Q-BBQ in Oak Park is no exception. Their smoked meats are cooked low and slow for up to 22 hours, ensuring that each bite is full of flavor and tenderness. But what sets Q-BBQ apart is their signature style - Q-Style. They take America's original comfort food and add their own unique twist.

Q-BBQ started as a vision of a modern version of an authentic BBQ restaurant that would feature quality food served in a quick casual setting. That vision became a reality in 2009 when La Grange became the first home of Q-BBQ. Since then, they have fine-tuned their signature sauces, dry rubbed chicken wings, pulled top-quality pork by hand, and chopped brisket into cubes of caramelized burnt ends.

With four stores and tens of thousands of raving fans later, Q-BBQ has become a staple in the Oak Park community. Their signature sauces are now sold in grocery markets across the region, and they've won Michelin Guide awards for culinary excellence. But what really matters to them is the love from their customers - evidenced by their 2015 and 2016 People’s Choice trophies from Chicago’s Ribfest.

If you're looking for some amazing BBQ with a unique twist, look no further than Q-BBQ on N. Marion Street in Oak Park.
