    Corn pudding, Cole slaw, meat trio, Mac and cheese, corn bread
    Michelle Y.

    I used to come here all the time before COVID and came recently - the ribs have slightly changed, in my opinion, and but still delicious and will keep coming back. I crave the corn pudding and hush puppies. I've never really had a bad meal here. I feel like if you get the platter versus the rack of ribs alone, it's less meatier - so I usually just get half rack of ribs and sides. So good, and sad I can only come a few times a year. The service can be inconsistent, but it's basically just a self-serve after ordering, so not a problem. The ambiance: very spacious since I see lots of people take it to-go and it's always been clean. Ok. Now, I'm craving it...

    Pork Sandwich Mac and Cheese

    Finally had a chance to hit Q BBQ while driving back up from the South this last time through after trying to plan this stop for years. I had always wanted to come here when it was owned by Tuffy Stone and I actually wasn't even aware that he had sold it until after I ate there and Tuffy actually commented on my video of the spot himself to let me know. The place was large and clean with plenty of seating and the gentleman who helped me at the counter was friendly. The meal came to around $24 for two meats, two sides, cornbread, and a fountain beverage. For the two meats I chose to go with Regular Brisket as well as brisket burnt ends. The ol' go big or go home mentality...hit me with both big beef items. For sides I chose mac and cheese as well as collard greens. This plate is much like a tale of two cities for me, the protein offerings were excellent, the rest was good, not great. The regular brisket was incredibly tender and I was having a hard time even keeping it on my fork from the plate to my mouth. Good flavor on it and a decent smoke ring as well. I have had better smoked brisket in my life but only maybe a handful of times. The burnt ends were also delicious and even more tender, but they were slightly one dimensional. They did have a sauce on the table that was a bit spicy though and when I added that they were a homerun. I wouldn't turn down either of those brisket options any time they were offered to me! The mac and cheese was pretty good but nothing that was super memorable. The collards were the same for me. I enjoyed them enough to eat everything on my plate, but next time in I'd definitely opt for trying other items. The cornbread also had good flavor but was dry. I ran the cornbread at the end through the leftover sauce from my burnt ends and that was a nice combo! All in all I am happy I finally got to stop in here and give it a shot and I'd go back and try them again. Q Barbecue - Didn't Suck!

    Counter service barbecue joint -- cashier was friendly and helpful. I ordered the barbecue plate with collards and fries. There was a fountain drink station with lemonade and tea as well. Barbecue was good if not spectacular. There were four sauces to choose from on the table. Collards were very good. Fries could have been cooked longer and they only gave one ketchup packet. I wish ketchup was just on the table. Portion sizes were good.

    Brisket sandwich.  very dry.

    Place was clean and staff very friendly. Ordered 6 smoked wings, dry. Brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese and sweet tea. Wings were dry, meaning not slathered in sauce. Wings looked great and very good in size. But they were definitely in the smoker a long time. Flavorful but dry to the point they pulled away from the bone. The bone reminded me of sun bleached bones after the meat was gone. Mac and cheese was good like it was freshly made. Knowing brisket is probably the most difficult cut to smoke, I rolled the dice on the brisket sandwich. I rolled a craps. Lifting the top bun off I could tell the meat was dry. Tasting a piece before adding sauce it was dry AF. I added some BBQ sauce and it was like putting sauce on small wooden planks. I tried to love it but I couldn't even like it after a couple of bites. Would I go back. Maybe. I wouldn't have the same things I had today with the exception of the Mac and cheese. Total cost a little over $31 not including tip.

    I got a sliced brisket plate which was pretty good! The service was good, and it is a quick and easy order. The brisket itself didn't have as much smoky flavor as I have had before(but honestly I'm no expert on that), but it was still very good. I am glad that it does not come with sauce to allow the meat to speak for itself, but allows you to add their different sauces as you like at each table. (they had some good ones, I think I tried all their BBQ sauces besides the classic) The plate came with 2 sides, I got Macaroni and Onion rings. The onion rings were decent, honestly pretty good, only thing is I would personally prefer more crunch but the onion was cooked very nicely. The Mac and Cheese was pretty good, good amount of cheesiness and not too watery, definitely fit my taste. The cornbread is also pretty good! Not too crumbly, has that nice texture that's not too dry and has some moistness to it but not too moist. Next time, I would want to try the collard greens Good atmosphere, bathroom is decent.

    Brisket portion - more like appetizer!

    Food tasted fantastic. Our two meals included pulled pork sandwich and brisket platter with cole slaw, baked beans, and pineapple hot dish as sides. I do have a complaint about the brisket portions. For $17 I received 5 small slices of brisket. I will not return because of the cost and portion size despite the food quality.

    While in Richmond area for my daughter's soccer tournament, we had to get some BBQ. This came highly recommended by other soccer parents, and it was close from our hotel, so we gave it a try. When we arrived, this place was packed and there was quite a line to order your food. We ordered the Big BBQ plates with brisket and ribs. The ribs were one of the best ones I've had in any BBQ places. I would come back just for that. It was very tender but not fall of the bones which I don't like. The brisket was good, but I wish they also offered moist brisket. We also enjoyed their wings - it was perfectly fried and we enjoyed the dry rub. Solid BBQ place in the Glen Allen, VA area.

    Pulled Smoked Chicken BBQ
    Michael C.

    For some reason, I remembered this place being worse than it was when I first went here a couple years back. I was throughly surprised on every aspect here. To start, the hush puppies were super good. They were flaky and soft on the inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside. The cornbread was alright. I'm not a huge fan of it to begin with but I didn't mind it as a change of pace. The potato salad was really good. It was creamy, and packed with flavor. Instead of a mustard driven potato salad, it was more of a classic style, which I appreciated. It tasted fresh as well. The Mac and cheese wasn't the best or something I'd automatically order again, but it was serviceable. I thought it was pretty creamy, and the char on top was nice. It could've used more flavor like pepper or some type of seasoning in my opinion. Next, I thought the onion rings were really good. They are huge and you get a lot of them for an order. They had good crispiness and the batter tasted really good. Next I'd like to point out the amazing bbq sauce selection that they have at each table. I thought they were AMAZING. The sauces alone made me want to come back here. They hit the spot on them. The pulled chicken was phenomenal as well. It's creamy and melts in your mouth, which I loved. Most pulled chicken is dry and gets boring after a while, this one doesn't at all. It's seasoned nicely and again pairs super well with the bbq sauces. The pudding was good. My girlfriend isn't a huge fan of banana pudding so I got this all to myself. It did taste like it had been sitting out for a while, the wafers weren't crisp but instead soggy. This thankfully didn't take away from the flavor. Overall, the service was fast, the restaurant is spacious and seating is comfortable. I want to try this place out again and try the bbq before I give it a full five stars. If they can hit on that, I'd be willing to bump it up. Pricing really isn't terrible for bbq. I think all of this was like 25 bucks. I'll be here again and I recommend this spot to anyone in glen allen!

    Back again, fantastic as always. Our server Brandon was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive…read more Started with fried green tomatoes, one of our favorite appetizers. They're so good! I had the braised beef short ribs, which were melt-in-your -mouth. Paired with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted root veg, and some of the best collard greens I've ever had. He had the fried chicken with hot honey, garlic mashed potatoes, and more collard greens. That fried chicken was so crispy and delicious. Had the peach cobbler bread pudding for dessert, and it was an EXPERIENCE. The only thing that would have made the meal better was some of the slab bacon, but we'll know to come for breakfast or lunch for that next time!

    Farm and Oak has been on my list and I finally made it!…read more My husband and I wanted to have lunch out and picked Farm and Oak because we haven't visited this restaurant. They have a very limited menu at lunch so you have a few appetizers to choose from, a few salads and sandwiches and burgers, so straight up American food. It does skew southern with crab cake sandwich, pimento cheese and fried chicken. For an appetizer we decided to try the wings. They were good and came with ranch drizzled over the wings. For entrees my husband got their farm & oak burger with Cole slaw and I got their wedge salad with fried chicken. Both were good. The salad was nice and cold and crisp, which was appreciated on such a hot day. It did have too much dressing so next time I might ask for less dressing or have it on the side. I enjoyed the food, service was good and it is a pretty restaurant. I'll probably come back for supper some time to try some of their more in-depth meals.
