Q Southern BBQ - Oldsmar

What an incredible find! I found Q Southern BBQ & Catering tucked right behind the Thornton’s gas station in Oldsmar, and this place is seriously good. If you’re searching for authentic Florida barbecue or even the best Oldsmar BBQ spots nearby, this hidden gem is absolutely worth the short drive. I had the adult grilled cheese brisket sandwich, and I practically had to roll out of the restaurant afterward. It was huge, loaded with meat, and so good I had to take half of it home. I don’t usually use the word “succulent,” but that brisket absolutely was. Tender, flavorful, and packed into one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. As a true Southern BBQ restaurant, they clearly know how to smoke meat the right way. The only problem is that the food is so good, you eat it way too fast. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest girl at the counter. The owner and chef, Cameron, was also extremely friendly and made the whole experience even better. Great food, great people, and a place I’ll definitely be going back to for more outstanding Florida barbecue.

I keep seeing people posting about this place in my local Oldsmar groups. I stopped in the other day to what it was all about. When we walked in the young man immediately came over and asked if we’d been there before. He explained how it worked very thoroughly and friendly. I was pretty impressed. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was full of the best cooked meat. The young lady Ashley (I think) made sure to give me the best pieces. They were in the middle of a rush and she moved fast yet, she was still very attentive to what she was doing. The sides are decent sized portions. I would probably cook the greens a little longer but they’re good and fresh. The Mac n cheese was cheesy and creamy. The sauces are just what you would want when eating BBQ. They have so many to choose from too. I got the bourbon and OMG, so yummy. We spent less than $40 for two meals. We will be back for sure!

Some of the best BBQ I've had. It truly was the best brisket I've ever had, the rub crust on the outside is tasty and left me wanting more. The tomato cucumber salad was more sweet than vinegary and I liked it. The collards were okay but I prefer a little spice in mine. Next time I'm trying the potato salad because it looked delicious. Didn't get to try the burnt ends because they were all out, but next time. The menu is unusual and they seem to push by the pound meat but just order from the third portion of the menu and you'll be fine. It is in an unassuming strip center next to Thornton's but it's a sweet little restaurant inside with a fair amount of seating. I mean it was freezing and I hate those metal chairs but they had tvs to distract and the young people working there were very nice and polite and the girl behind the counter explained things very well. They have a small container with ice and a few types of beers and white claws if you like. We WILL be back because we've found our favorite BBQ! Update: went back, brisket is just as delicious BUT that baked potato salad was the creamiest most delicious ever (I won't ask the calories) yummmmm

We had such a great experience here—some of the best BBQ we’ve had in a long time. I ordered the beef & cheese and it was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. My husband had the brisket sandwich and couldn’t stop talking about how tender and smoky it was. But the real standout for us was the BBQ chicharrón with pimento cheese—SO good. The chicharrón was crispy and packed with flavor, and the pimento cheese was incredible… and fully approved by my South Carolina husband, which says everything. Everything we tried was flavorful and clearly made with care. We’ll definitely be back to try the burnt ends!

We stopped in for some lunch today and everything was excellent. We split an order of smoked sweet garlic buffalo wings which were super tasty and an "adult grilled brisket cheese" sandwich and a small order of tots. Everything came out great a dn even got some RC cola which I haven't had in forever. Happy thse guys opened up over here.
