Reviews of NakedQ BBQ (Restaurant)

Jenna Spears

This place is pretty great. The customer service is always amazing. It's fast, in and out service if you are in a hurry. The ONLY complaint I have is the cornbread. They put a little bit of green peppers in it. When I eat cornbread, I want that good old fashioned corn bread taste. Other than that, the food is incredible. The brisket just falls apart in your mouth.

Florence Gumz

The pulled pork was amazing. Absolutely love the BBQ Sauce and corn muffins Staff was very friendly and fun. Thank you from Wisconsin

Joshua Gaughen

Great BBQ, Great Service, and Great Beers. I had the brisket and sausage plate with slaw and beans. Its delicious. If I'm in the area again, I will be back.

margaret Del Vescio

My favorite now only place for BBQ it's worth the drive

Brett Buxton

Really good for a quick lunch. Had a sandwich and beans and was satisfied with both portions and flavor. Will try again.

Karen

The bomb!!

Chris Hersh

We were in the area on vacation and came here for dinner. Place was clean, staff was friendly, and food was great. Brisket was very good, pulled pork needed sauce. I'll be back in a month for a conference and will try to sneak away to get some NakedQ BBQ again.

Neil Campbell

Delicious BBQ and a friendly bunch of guys

Markus Zimmer

One of the best BBQ places in town

Daniel Morrissey

Sitting here chowing down ribs and chopped brisket. Really well done everything. Chipotle concept but bbq. This neghborhood needs a place making great bbq like this.

Anthony Juarez

The bbq is to die for! Absolutely jaw dropping. This place is well priced and well worth it. The staff is great and answer my bbq smoking questions all the time. You cannot leave here without trying to brisket. Typically my wife and I walk in and order different meats and end up sharing because we want to eat them all. Their recipe is perfect!

Kristin Paxton

Great Que! Loved everything. I'm here at least times a week.

Chris Gonzalez

Great food, good prices and lots of gluten free options!

Stephen Parks

Robert Thompson

Ok. Better BBQ can be had. Tom Thumb comes to mind. Honey Bears.

Basil Ayers

Good food great family atmosphere

Bert Bledsoe

Delicious BBQ! Everything is good!

Marianne F

Outstanding bbq. Since I'm from Kansas City, a big bbq town, I was not disappointed. Everything was cooked to order. Looking forward to our next visit.

Patricia Husak

We traveled through Texas and had some good BarBQ along the way. This was the best! Fast and friendly service. The food was delicious and makes me wish that I lived close by to enjoy it more often.

Scott Forman

Best BBQ in Arizona! Very friendly and accommodating and we'll keep on coming back.

ScottsdaleSteve Arizona

Excellent experience. Food and Service was amazing. Loved the Pulled Pork and Ribs!!!!

Keith Clark

Over priced for what I got, macncheese was bland. BBQ sauce taste like store bought beans taste and look like came out of a can

Evelyn Simpson

My husband's office is down the street and we have been waiting for this place to open! SO glad it finally is!!! We went last Friday and just beat the dinner crowd in. People were friendly, place was clean and food was AMAZING! For a family of 3 (1 being a 5 year old with a BIG appetite), we ordered half a rack of ribs, half a pound of sliced brisket, half a pound of pulled pork, large sides of Mac and cheese and that day's veggie was roasted broccoli with roasted garlic. Our little one devoured everything, including the broccoli! She put it best by saying dinner was "YUMMY-LI-CIOUS!" The portions were generous and we did end up with some leftovers. Oh, and they served everything with these little pickle slices that were a little sweet, a little sour and just a little too perfect that we fought each other for the last one! ;) Unfortunately, we enjoyed our meal SO much we forgot to save room for dessert. For only $2, it was a shame to pass up, but there's always next time! And there DEFINITELY will be a next time! The meats we ordered were flavorful without being salty (I'm picky and hate how so many places oversalt everything, but not here!). The brisket had a beautiful smoke ring and was fork tender! The ribs weren't fall off the bone, but still tender enough that a child missing her two front bottom teeth still managed to make her way through without any issues! And the pulled pork... SO flavorful and juicy (not dry without any sauce) that it didn't really need any sauce! My husband and I preferred the spicy sauce but our little one preferred the other milder version. Again, not salty but super yummy! We didn't try the mustard sauce (had to leave a few things for next time!) but heard from another table it is worth trying. Only complaint is that at that time of day (about 5:30/6ish) the sun comes in and is bothersome. But honestly, you'll be looking at your plate, not the person across from you... The food is just THAT good! Ok, and one more... No changing tables. We didn't need one, but it was not that long ago that I would rate a place family friendly or not by whether they made accommodations for children 3 and under (changing tables, high chairs, booster seats). Aside from those minor cosmetic things, I'm torn about sharing how great this place is! In my opinion, it has to be the best BBQ I've had in AZ!

Tim Filipi

disappointing. $11 for 1 meat and 2 sides - the pulled pork was mostly fat - and there was a jalapeño pepper in the baked beans

Randy Magnuson

I thought it was"just ok". I got a pulled pork sandwich and some cole slaw. The sandwich was rather dry and tasteless, I had to dump a lot of their BBQ on it. The cole slaw was also rather tasteless. Not horrible, but nothing to get excited about. Not sure I'll be back.

Mike Henkel

The meats were delicious! Generous portions, and very tasty. The sides lack the same effort that is definitely evident in all the meats on the menu. The mac & cheese and beans really need to work on that recipe Definitely come back for the meats and the sandwiches not interested in the sides

Mike Hamblen

Good Que. Sides were good. Sauce was good. Not enough pork on platter plate. Too expensive for amount of food.

Lisa Whelpley

Perfect place to eat on keto. Instead of what's on the menu, they sold us just the meat -- and at a by-the-pound price. Ages 17-76 in our group and everyone loved it!

Mike Mallett

No Cheese available.

Misty Morgan

Stopped for a quick meal... excellent pulled meat sandwiches and I loved both of the sauces. Great place for a quick casual meal.

Denise Regeski

The pulled pork sandwich was a little on the dry side. It just wasn't the mouth-watering experience that I was looking forward to.

Tabatha Salas

Delicious chicken and the cookies are delicious too!! Great customer service,clean, and fast.

Dulcinea Harju

Chopped brisket sandwich and a side of mac and cheese.

C Bo

Great BBQ, great staff and super clean! You can tell this is a very well run establishment. Not much more you could ask for! I'll be returning for sure.

Isaac Korff

Muffin was dry Brisket was dry and tasteless Turkey wssnwa really feeling like bbq Cole slow was the worst iceI tasted. Very poor bbq experience

Robert Lugo

The brisket is great. Mac and cheese also. Green beans, not so much.

Jeremy Donnelly

Best brisket and links in town and the staff was unbelievable with customer service! A must for anyone in the Scottsdale area!

Dale Robinson

Excellent

Taco Schmid

There's no real BBQ nearby so it's going to be our quick BBQ stop for the family. We all enjoy it relatively priced within reason and the place is kept very clean. Staff always pleasant. Once they get the fancy coca cola machine with multi drink options the 5 star is there.

Andrew

Quick, friendly, delicious

Heather Zeik

We were very disappointed with the protein portions. Though sides were good size, we got very little meat.

Nancy Ordonez

Try this place!!! Hands down the BEST Mac & Cheese I've ever had at a BBQ joint. Had the smoke turkey which was tasty but my daughter really, really enjoyed the brisket. Jalapeno corn muffins quite good- would be off the chain if served piping hot. Love the watermelon tea- fill glass about 7/8 way with that tea then top off w/sweet tea.

Jason Miszuk

Fantastic BBQ. One the best in Arizona. Please try the brisket. I have been to a great deal of BBQ restaurants and BBQ companies in Arizona and Texas and naked Q BBQ is one the best. It is conveniently located off the loop 101 and Shea in Scottsdale. My latest eal from naked Q is the brisket sandwich and it is perfect for lunch as not as filling as the brisket meal. Great sauces as well. Keep up the great work.

Steven Forsythe

Great brisket...sides are not tasty. Good value for money.

David Anderson

Great bbq at a great price. I travel for work all over, and try bbq everywhere. Brisket was seasoned well, and had a good bark. Quality meat, if I could suggest one thing, as constructive crtisim, use butcher paper to preserve the bark, vs other means of wrapping. Turkey was awesome and beans were good. Best part, there was not a 2 hr wait in the hot sun. Will absolutely be trying them my next trip. This was a $12 plate and plenty of food for one man.

delores vansworth

Wonder food and great service

Frank Thomas

Great friendly service. Food was wonderful and not expensive

Mike Wilson

The BBQ sandwich was wonderful but the coleslaw was dry.

Michael L

Pretty good bbq overall. The spicy bbq sauce was lacking in spice but had a good flavor. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean.

Mark Dombrowski

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!! The Pork Sandwich was delicious and the different sauces made it amazing! AND did I tell you about the pickles... UNIQUE! The staff was SUPER friendly too!!

Todd M

Good place to go.

Briana Frink

The food was delicious!! I was looking for a BBQ restaurant and this one hit the spot! Loved it! Tender beef brisket... delicious ribs.. yummy bbq sauce! Great service too.

steve leonardi

Great food! The menu can be bit confusing when ordering though.

Dwayne Larramore

It was ok, fast in and out for lunch, less than 6 bucks, got a sandwich and a side, I do wish the buns were warm instead of cold, and would like to see regular onions, not the ones soaked in vinegar, but it is ok,..

Casey Johnson

Best food I’ve had in AZ! The staff was amazing, best experience I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time! The bbq sauce is the best I’ve ever had, I had to buy a bottle! The serving size is great and amazing prices! I’ll be back many times!

Todd Jenkins

The Brisket was very tasty, Hot links good as well Great staff the owner came out and talked to customers. Lots of food on the 2 meat plate the cole slaw was ok beans very tasty. One of the better BBQ places that I have tried. Sure wish they had something like this in CG Az

Scott Ficek

Excellent barbeque. Fast and friendly service. Whole family was happy. And they serve beer (Dad happy)!

Tony Starr

Excellent BBQ at very reasonable prices. Located very conveniently across from Fry's market with plenty of easy parking. Small selection of really good BBQ meats and a decent selection of veggies to go with them. Great for lunch you can get a sandwich and a side for eight bucks. Try this anytime, I recommend it.

Ron Frakes

The ribs are excellent. Have had them at least 6 times.

Ryan

Just ate here with my wife and was impressed. We had the sliced brisket and pulled pork, which both were great. The bark on the brisket was awesome. The only think just ok was the beans but don't hold that against them as they where good just not great. The staff was super friendly and the place was one of the cleanest BBQ places I have ever seen.

Dan Turco

awesome bbq. def one of the top ones on the east side or town

Wade J

Great brisket salad!

Alan Kichler

Really good barbecue excellent service great sandwiches.

tim tim

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff and clean restaurant.

Steven Collins

Found the best BBQ in Scottsdale just moved here from Colorado and the Carolina slaw was awesome and some of the best brisket I've ever had great customer service friendly and very attentive

Brady Adelman

Great Food at a great price!

Dan Ploeger

Great quality in all the food we had. Nice bark on the tender brisket and good smoked flavor. This has now moved into my 3rd place from the Midwest down to Texas and west.

josh dae

The food is great a must try place for BBQ

Mary Henson

Excellent BBQ! Had the chopped brisket sandwich with macaroni and cheese. Service was very friendly. It smelled so good when we walked in we didn't even look at prices.

Joe Guidera

Good easy going bbq joint. As others have noted generous portions on the 2 meat platter. Beans tasty but I think could soak a bit more before cooking (a bit more bite than they should have). Mac and cheese was great. Sauces are quite good whether you like sweet Carolina style, vinegar based for your pulled pork or hot and spicy. All self served heated. Overall a good place to grab some quick, tasty bbq. Prices are reasonable.

steven palm

Great food

Brian Cupples

Brisket, mac and cheese, and corn were delicious.

Anthony TerBush

Really good bbq. Brisket was amazing. A bit overpriced for the portion size. Peach cobbler was awesome could sell for $3.50, instead of $2.50.

Chris Baeza

Very flavorful food with a great selection of meats and sides!! Also can purchase meats by the pound. Highly recommend this spot!!!

Dustin

First time ever writing a review but felt compelled seeing how good the food is and how friendly the staff is there and they have been this way each of the three times we have gone. Went in tonight with wife and 2 young daughters and couldn’t have been more impressed. Place is clean, reasonably priced, food is great and staff is super friendly. My fav is the chopped brisket and wife loves the turkey, kids love Mac and cheese of course. Sweet sauce is amazing and served warm. We will be coming back as our go to BBQ place in the area!

Anonymous User

Great over the counter bbq in Scottsdale. Good service too!

G. David Smith

This place was good. The pulled chicken was dry and the ribs were on the bland side, while the sauce was good it did not add to the blandness of the meat. The roasted green beans should have been more tender with slight crunch and the pie was not bad however had a sweet yet sour finish! Needs improvement for a $ 16.00 dolor meal!

Tiffany Vaughn

Sliced brisket is delicious. Great place for lunch.

Steve Skojec

The Brisket was incredibly tender. That's hard to find. Really enjoyed my lunch.

Kara Sjoblom-Bay

Very tasty, good service, a little pricey but not unusual for BBQ.

Bradley Bryan

Great BBQ!! Friendly staff.

Pittsburgh Pirates Hat

Best ribs I ever had

Jessie Parker

Hit the spot.

Angelina Pharaoh

Came here because we had been craving barbecue, the service was good, but unfortunately our food came out cold.

ron mills

No frills . But good.

Daniel Ungro

Excellent BBQ place, nice atmosphere great food excellent prices and great customer service. I like their BBQ brisket sandwich and Mac N cheese on the side great personal favorite of mine and all of their sides are fabulous...

Rene Apack

Good food. Basic place

Ally Boettcher

The meats were delicious. Good mac and cheese, good sauces, and great ribs. Definitely will come back to try the rest of the meats I haven’t had yet.

Bob Billings

Love it

Mike Serna

Fast service and reasonably priced.

Corey

I got the 2-meat plate and I was able to cut my brisket with a fork! They know what they're doing for sure

matt bruns-fralich

Awesome pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw!

Shane Winder

Incredible BBQ in fast food set up. Better than many sit down BBQ places.

Rhonda G

Delicious BBQ. We had super tender turkey, pulled chicken, mac n cheese, beans, cole slaw, and corn bread muffins. All of the meat was tender and tasty. The sides were well priced and a taste sensation. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Matt I

We had them cater for a group dinner. Service setting it up was amazing, the person who helped us was so good to work with. Overall this place is amazing, I would highly recommend it.

Tina Petroski

Great meats and sauces!

Myles Wakeham

It ain't that great. If you are a BBQ aficionado then this will feel like a cheap fast food joint to you. The ribs were too fatty, and the rub is all over the place (sweet, salty, ?). There is no statement of what this place is about, other than a BBQ place that is trying to follow some franchise rule set but really not showing that they know what BBQ really is. If you really want GREAT BBQ, make the effort to go down to Little Miss BBQ and see what real cue is all about. This place might seem really good if you compare it with other "fast food" type BBQ places (e.g. Dickies), but if you are a real BBQ fan, this will leave you feeling flat. Sorry, nice try but BBQ is not something you can franchise.

Cyndie Private

First BBQ place I've been to that I was served warm meat and warm sauces. The food here is delicious and serving are large.

M Bontrager

Great food!

Nevin T

Simple delicious food with a cozy area to get messy.

Randy Lanning

Brisket sandwich was fantastic.

Roberto Hinojoza

Really good bbq place great flavor.

Chad Davisson

Walk in and you can smell the smoke. That’s a plus. Portion size on the meat was on the light side. Portions on the two meat (sliced brisket, pulled pork) heavy on the fat. Flavor was mild. Less on the smoke or smoke ring. Carolina slaw was spot on. Veg side was corn. It was canned corn and very underwhelming. Lacking any flavor. Corn muffin was fine for a addition. Tried spicy bbq sauce. Very thin sauce and way too much sugar. Little spice. Tried mustard sauce. Again way too thin and watery. Again heavy sugar. Overall it’s okay. Portion of meat is light. Sauce way too much sugar and way too wet.

Caroline Farrar

Brisket and hot links are amazing! The mac and cheese and pickles are also super good! Our kids love this place too! They are quiet and chow down every time we go. Which is every other week;-) the staff is super friendly- you won't be disappointed.

Carole T

I love BBQ and this is a GREAT place for some good food! Friendly staff and nice clean restaurant. Good prices and options. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Eat in or get it to go! A definite place to go to again and again!!!

Bradley Canyon

Yum. BBQ. Nice staff.

James Rollar

Awesome hybrid between North carolina-style barbeque and normal barbecue.

Kurt von Rice

Outstanding

Joshua Fisher

Excellent customer service, generous portions and fair prices. Our "go to" for local brisket and ribs

Ryan Glowienka

Best brisket I've had since some places in and around Austin, TX.

Evlbe

Good food, a very misleading title though

brad starr

One of if not the best barbecue on the planet They have the most delicious Turkey my ever had and their brisket is Dammed good too. So much better than Tom Thumb

Michael R

Ther spicy bbq sauce is the best bbq sauce I've ever had! The staff is friendly and $10 for a sandwich and drink. Pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches are both great but I prefer the pulled pork. Will definitely be back

Ashley Virnelson

Best BBQ in town!!! Awesome staff, amazing food and great atmosphere!

Steve Virissimo

Food was ok. In dining food presentation not so ok. Each item is measured into an individual paper plate except for the meet which is presented on a paper matt on top of a cafeteria plastic tray.Friendly staff. Have beer and wine a plus.

Justin Moore

Brisket was bomb and the peach cobbler?!!?! AAHHHHHHH!! That Cobbler will bless yo soul.

Jimmy V

Generous portions of really good BBQ and a decent quality of meat for the ingredients

Mario Lozoya

Great food. Love the Spicy sauce.

John Mookken

Good idea, but the brisket is very dry, Mac and cheese side is bland and runny and limited choices. The only thing I thought was good is the corn bread. I need to find another bbq place.

Leogoddess K

Staff was great! Nice and friendly atmosphere. Chicken and Mac n cheese was good too!

Russ shuman

Great moist beef brisket , great service ! If people tasted the food this place wood be packed

Eddie Maddox

great bbq

Nicholas b

Great atmosphere Prim Rib on fridays

Kyle Phelps

That brisket though. I tasted a slice of turkey and didn't think it could get much better, great crust, fell apart with practically no chewing, juicy... But that rub on the brisket is a work of art. Quite wonderful... Oh and friendly service too!

mark danner

CLEAN ESTABLISHMENT... GREAT PEOPLE... GREAT FOOD !!!

Nick Schierman

Always good!

David Parmigiani

Yummy, can't say much more. It is good food with good service. Many different options for meat lovers. I will definitely be there again for food.

Matthew Kuraja

This place has stiff food competition in the same plaza but it's a clean, quaint shop.

Chris Cleland

What a find! Great Texas-style BBQ tucked in a little side-mall building in a shopping center anchored by a Home Depot. Fall-off-the-bone tender tasty ribs, super brisket. .. and gotta try the cornbread! We make this a must-stop when passing through the Shea/101 area. Yum!

Tom Lehmann

Tastes just like the Phoenix location, try it out!

ice tea

Just okay. Not enough side options to choose from. Brisket was very fatty. Mac and cheese tastes good, but is runny. Nothing was hot, it was all lukewarm.

Justin Taylor

Best Brisket around! Come here at least once a week, never had a bad meal or experience. The staff is always friendly and the owner Oren is great. We had our company Christmas Party there and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. We’ll be back over and over for years to come. The sides are great too!

Vex Stuhdr

Meat is great; sauce is average kinda watered down; and the rub is awful and I mean awful! Tastes very salty like they basically added salt after it was done! If you are a hard core BBQ fan don't expect much
