Congratulations to @chef_cameron_capri on opening the new brick-and-mortar Q Southern BBQ #2!
From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The young lady at the counter—with the “T” necklace—was incredible. She explained the ordering process, timing, and all the small-but-important details that make the whole experience smooth. Friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming.
Now the food: the brisket is unreal. Perfectly seasoned so you actually taste the meat, tender enough that Trent called it “like buttah—no chewing needed.” The greens, mac, coleslaw, and all the sauces were spot-on. And honestly, the brisket price feels like a steal considering the quality.
We got there later in the day so ribs, wings and other favorites were sold out so of course we must go back.
The outside feels tucked away from everything, and the inside feels instantly cozy—like a place you’ve been coming to for years. The flow makes sense, the smell pulls you in, and the whole setup is just smart.
A+ branding, A+ service, and A+ food.
Congrats again to @qsouthernbbq
P.S. Catering available.

My dad and I stopped in here on a whim for a quick bite to eat and were not disappointed! He ordered a brisket sandwich and I got the burnt ends. Both were amazing. The food is prepared fresh every day which you can taste. Sauces were 10/10. Must try the Tampa Q (espresso bbq). Nothing bad to say other than it’s too far from where I live but happy to hear they’re opening a second location! If you’re in the mood for BBQ, you need to go here! Met one of the partners and he was so friendly. We love supporting locals and small businesses and will definitely be back.

This place is ok. Service and atmosphere is what I expected so it’s all good. However, I had better bbq elsewhere. I had brisket and ribs with mac & cheese, slaw, and tots. Mac & cheese was a bit too rich for me but the texture and creaminess was excellent. The slaw was probably the best thing out of the whole meal. I am very picky about slaw and this slaw was so good I ate it by itself. Very happy the slaw was not that soggy mayo cr*p you get everywhere else. The brisket and ribs were very dry, especially the brisket. The ribs were edible on their own and did come off the bone when pulled off but not nearly as moist and fall off the bone as other bbq places I’ve tried. The brisket was so dry I had to eat the slaw with it since I couldn’t have swallowed it without any moisture. The seasoning on it is too coarse for me, as I would get slaps of large black pepper pieces in my mouth and the seasoning lingered in my mouth long after the meat was gone. The tots were actually excellent. The only thing I didn’t like about the tots was the slight sweet taste from the sugar in the tot seasoning since I am not a fan of sweet potatoes, but I can see how other people might like that. Tots were great.

Me and my wife stop by to try the food here. The brisket is the most tender melt in my mouth I’ve ever taste. The crew is very helpful. We will definitely eat here again!

Excellent BBQ.
Large portions and tasty. The pulled pork and brisket were perfectly cooked. There were a variety of sauces you could complement your meal with. The sides were very tasty and I would recommend the Brunswick stew.
There is seating inside and in a patio area.

2nd visit to Dunedin location and cannot recall a better brisket, pulled pork, collard greens and cole slaw. Will return often for ribs, burnt ends and other sides. Staff is very personable and helpful! Add in a craft brewery next door and a dog friendly policy and you have a real winner – highly recommended by a guy named Otto P Beagle!

We’ve been living in Florida for 25 years, and FINALLY found legit Southern BBQ yesterday. So good, we went back today!
– The brisket and burnt ends were plastic-fork tender.
– The pulled pork sandwich [aka. “The Cackalacky”] is absolutely true to Southern recipes.
– Sauces are available, but I encourage you to taste THE MEAT first.
– Today, we had wings for an appetizer [they’re smoked first, and we opted for grilled rather than fried]. Yep, they were cluckin’ tasty. 🙂
– They had a daily special posted as well. As if the menu items weren’t enough, the specials would be worth stopping by for.
They are opening another location in Oldsmar “soon”.
You need to go. Better yet, you deserve to go.

I will definitely return for more of the BEST brisket sandwich in town!! I ordered it with a side of collard greens and also had the pulled pork sandwich with bakes beans. Both are so good, but I really gotta emphasize how good the brisket it is. Go try it and you won’t regret it. There’s a number of sauces to choose from, I went with the Kentucky bourbon sauce on my brisket.

I am always searching for a Restaurant that makes everything in house. I found it! Right across the street from Mease Hospital Dunedin. QSouthern BBQ doesn’t buy frozen Mac and Cheese, Cole Slaw or BBQ sauces instead, all made in house in their tiny location.
I ordered the Brisket which was plentiful, and no knife needed, so tender. I would have preferred a little more smoke on the Brisket but by far the best BBQ in Dunedin.
Fridays is Burnt Ends day. Sat is Beef Ribs day.
Order @ the pickup window with seating outside. While you wait you can head next door for a beer @ Soggy Bottom Brewery.
The dinners come with 2 sides and includes 2 pieces of Texas Toast. Their Mac and Cheese has received numerous accolades and is a must try. Bourbon Baked beans is unique and not your average baked beans.
Q Southern BBQ also offers 5 different BBQ sauces. If you can’t make up your mind they’ll give you two to try. Sauces are also House Made.
