Q fanatic Artisan BBQ

First visit and it was good! Legit BBQ in my opinion. Two of us shared the 1lb sampler of pork, chicken and slab bacon. All were awesome flavor and texture. The sides of Mac n' cheese and spicy new potatoes were also great. We got the 5 wings also. They are huge with lots of meat! We will be back and are kicking ourselves for not having come sooner...

Super good food! Came here because of a suggestion from my sister, who is a local. We are from Illinois and just visiting. This will definitely be a staple place for us to visit every time we are in the area! The potato salad was KILLER, and so was the bacon & brisket. HIGHLY recommend this place.😍

The misses and me stopped in for dinner. We had the 2lb platter with ribs, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. Sides- Mac/cheese, beans, potato salad, corn bread. Simply fantastic. Not too spicy, and super tender. This will definitely be in our dining rotation!!

I don’t think my pictures do this food justice. SO DELICIOUS! We ordered the 2 lb meal sampler (spare ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, slab bacon, baked beans, Mac n Cheese, potato wedges, and 3 dinner rolls with Honey BBQ and chipotle sour cream).
Plenty of food for two of us and delicious leftovers. Everything is cooked perfect, the meat is so tender... I don’t know what they did to that bacon but OMG is out of this world. A generous feast for less than $40.
They make it easy to order online & for curbside pickup.

Truly awesome BBQ, as good as anywhere in the world.

We enjoyed the two-meat combo platter w/ brisket and bacon as well as two large chilis (brisket and chicken) and it was enough for four hungry adults at $45.

Service is quick and friendly, and the dining area is clean and comfortable.

Absolutely great meal that we stumbled upon looking for some good barbeque. We got the 1lb sampler to share with an extra side, and had leftovers. In total, it was under $30 for the 2 of us! We loved the atmosphere and friendly staff.

Mannnnn, I'm in town for the final four and I just left this place, met the owner Charlie from Canada and friggin enjoyed it. I live in Houston and I'm skeptical of bbq/smoked outside of Houston, but I guarantee that you won't be disappointed!

This place is excellent. They have a great selection on their menu and their meats and mac and cheese were out of this world. There is also a nice rustic ambience inside. Highly recommend!

Went there for the first time after trying multiple BBQ places in the twin cities and I can safely say this place tucked all the right boxes. I went for the sampler box - brisket perfect, ribs excellent, pulled chicken moist & flavorful

My husband grew up in Kansas and has super high BBQ standards, and we LOVE Q Fanatic!! We usually get the platter with 1/3 lb of three different meats (burnt ends, sausage, bacon). The bacon is INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend. And the spicy new potatoes are delicious. All their sauces are delicious too.

Hidden gem!!

The food was very quickly assembled, great and friendly service! We got the Family Meal: 4 meats, 4 sides, bread choice, and 7 sauces (inc. Mustard, Pepper Vodka, Vinegar, etc.)! It was delicious down to the Coleslaw! Most most places lack in at least one menu item, but not Q! And the feeling of ordering a combination of several BBQ sauces, priceless.

I'm originally from Kansas City, I have a smoker and do a lot of barbecue... I would recommend this place! Ribs were smokey, good smoke ring, good bark; sausages had good flavor and good amount of smoke flavor. You can tell that they strive a great experience; grilled vegetables with aioli were excellent. I ordered 2 days ago, got a large quantity, and I'm still anticipating coming home for some leftovers 🙌🙌👍👍

First visit but won't be our last. The three of us had the meal for 3 and there is enough left over for 1 not too hungry person. I think they forgot the rolls, but we didn't miss them. The "Asian slaw" was just shredded cabbage with a nice sesame dressing. I think next time I'd get the grilled veggies instead. They looked interesting. They had lots of options for sauces, 7 in all. We tried all 7 and they were all good in their own way.

Really, really good barbecue with the biggest sides I've ever seen. I always get their brisket and ribs, with a side of Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. It's fantastic every time. They have a huge selection of sauces to choose from - my personal favorite is their chipotle sour cream. Super friendly staff, just beware they don't take orders over the phone so you'll either have to order online or come by in person.

God, I love this place, and I love being able to walk there. My usual order is the one pound sampler (with ribs, brisket, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans) and the chicken wings (although yesterday they had smoked chicken drummies instead of wings, which were somehow even better than the wings). It's probably the best brisket I've had north of Texas -- tender and sliced thick. The baked beans have huge chunks of burnt ends in them, and the ribs can range from solid to outstanding depending on the day. I love the variety of sauces, but the mustard sauce absolutely killer.

I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop in because of how good it smelled from outside. This is the best BBQ I've tried in the Twin Cities, hands down. I tried the brisket and pulled pork, both melt-in-your-mouth and great with the espresso house sauce. The hot potatoes were good, but I was losing my mind over the baked beans...it was worth it just for that dish alone. The service was super friendly as well. I'll be back!

Wow - this place is the real deal for bbq. Absolutely delicious! This was my first visit and I'm sure I'll be back again.

I got the pulled pork and brisket, plus sides of cole slaw, spicy potato wedges and corn bread. I would love to try other options on the menu, but everything I had was so good I'll be tempted to order the same thing every time.

Not much for seating options, but it wasn't too crowded when I went.

Brisket is out of this world. The baked beans and mac n cheese are the best I've had in years

I'm not an expert, but I have enjoyed eating BBQ in south Texas, where they know a lot about the subject. The meats here compare very favorably, and I love the pulled ham. For a meat focused restaurant, the sides are also very good, with the grilled veggies my fave. Don't forget the carrot cake for dessert, either! Superb!

Thankful this gem is within walking distance from my home. Always a super friendly staff with tasty food.

I love it all, but my favorites are the brisket and ribs with the southern mustard sauce. If you served collard greens and fried cat fish, I'd probably make you my only bbq restaurant I ordered from.

Thanks for tasty meals!
