From service to quality of food. WOW. I’m blown away.
Everything is made in house. PLEASE try the spicy chicken wings which comes with a house made bleu cheese from the tomales bay. Please have it with the Bon Ton Napa Valley Rose which was only $10 for exceptional quality. Creamy, spicy and fruity.
Kelly was extremely personable and gave me great recommendations for the few days I have in Napa. All sorts of vibes from casual to fine dining. She was incredible knowledgeable in terms of wine, local happenings as well as food, of course.
Even back of house staff, when seen were all perfect. Great posture, composure and stance.
Great/ diverse music and atmosphere. Not the typical.
This is a must try and will exceed your expectations (it did mine).
I recommend sitting outside for fresh air and good music.
TLDR: FLAVORFUL, PERSONABLE, PROFESSIONAL.

Our group came here after enjoying a good wine tasting. Service was excellent and prompt. Our group decided to have a family style type of lunch. We ordered a bucket of fried chicken, fried pickles, Brussel sprouts, corn bread, mashed potatoes and gravy! It was so yummy. The chicken was especially good with their vinegar chili pepper! It really brought out the flavors. Can’t wait to go back and try other items on the menu!

My wife and I had a fantastic experience here. The space is beautiful, and the food was top-notch. I had the brisket — tender, smoky, and perfectly cooked. My wife had the smoked chicken sandwich, which was packed with flavor, and the mac and cheese was excellent. As a restaurant owner and chef, I know good food — and this was the perfect combination of quality, technique, and soul.
Our server, Eric, was friendly and attentive, and the owner/manager on duty was incredibly pleasant — they genuinely listened to feedback we shared on the coleslaw and appreciated the input. That kind of hospitality makes a lasting impression. We’ll definitely be back.

My family and I are visiting for a family reunion. We actually was trying to go to another restaurant across the street but they were closing. So we crossed the street and tried Q Restaurant & Bar. We were really pleased and happy that we ended up there. The service was great and the food also. I had the fried chicken dinner. The chicken was seasoned just right and the mashed potatoes and gravy was decent. It also came with a side of greens. They were good but I would have wanted them to be a little more tender. My husband had the same but with a side of mac and cheese which was amazing. I definitely forgot to take pictures. The best part was the music that was played. We sang the entire time. Just a great time spent with family.

My husband and I went here for lunch and it was pretty quiet. We didn’t know any better and probably should have came here for dinner instead. The food was VERY filling! For appetizer we had fried pickles and they were the best fried pickles I’ve had. Sliced perfectly and not too thick. We also got mocktails to drink. Whatever the pink drink (pictured) is was so good! I had the brisket sandwich and he had the fried chicken dinner. Man I wish I would’ve gotten the fried chicken. It was seasoned so well and those mashed potatoes were so yummy. We substituted the collards for cornbread since we don’t eat pork. We thought our waiter was going to bring out a corn bread muffin but instead bought out a mini cast iron of delicious corn bread topped with honey butter. I knocked off a star for my sandwich and mac and cheese it was just okay. Brisket was fatty and not really pulled or tender enough. Mac & cheese wasn’t the typical grandma’s baked mac & cheese. Overall food was pretty good and our waiter can’t remember his name, but he was really nice as well as the lady who was in there as well. Very attentive and very nice people!

Had a great lunch at The Q Restaurant. The staff (the owner came to our table abd made conversation and was very nice) was so friendly and the food D-liscious! (The collard greens were heavenly) I had the Sunday Supper special, which included: appetizer, main course (fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and collard greens), and desert. The Cranberry, ginger beer and rosemary mocktail was on point. This may be my new weekend escape.

I have gone to this place 3 times. Each time I have had the worst food ever!! 1st time, I had the Fried Chicken sandwich. It was horribly dry. 2nd time I thought, ok 2nd time should be better. Nope. I had the Fish & Chips. The Fish was so grease and fries were soggy. This 3rd and last time, I thought 3rd time is a charm. By far from Charming. I decided to just go with fries….garlic fries. How bad can you screw up fries. Well…..PRETTY FREAKIN BAD!!! The fries came hot. Lots of garlic. Most of the fries were so small had a hard time picking them up. It was like I got the bottom of the bag. Then as I got closer to half done I noticed they started tasting very greasy. Bite after bite I was getting more grease in my mouth. I decided to pour the rest of them on my plate that I had ketchup on. As I poured I noticed grease/oil pouring from the stainless steel cup they were in. As I looked inside, there was about a 1/4″ of grease/oil at the bottom. It was so disgusting. In the pic I had already pour some out on top of the fries on the plate and there was still more in the cup. I could no longer eat these. It turned my stomach. McDonald’s fries are much better than these. Is this how you serve you food??? I couldn’t believe my eyes. My friends even turned their heads when I showed them. I told the guy that’s was clearing the table and his words were….”I’ll let them know.” I was too disgusted to even bother pursuing the problem since this was my 3rd and last time trying at this place. I WILL NEVER PROMOTE OR RECCOMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! I don’t know how a restaurant can serve such bad food and still be open for business. I guess since it’s also a bar that if you drink enough the food starts to taste good. I don’t drink so I wouldn’t know. They also let dogs in. They were in the patio but they have to walk through the restaurant where people are eating. I don’t want dog hair floating around where I am eating. I love dogs and have 2 but they do not belong walking through where people are eating. So BEWARE! I refuse to give my money to a business that doesn’t care about what happens.

I kicked off my birthday weekend at Q R&B. The ambiance is nice. It’s a good place for date night, a low-key dinner, or catching up with friends. I don’t think I would call it kid friendly. In fact, I dont recall seeing any kids.
I ordered the guava margarita on the rocks with Don Julio Repasado. It was my first drink in a month or so, and it was good! Appetizers were spinach and artichoke dip, garlic artichokes, wings, and deviled eggs. All tasty
For dinner, I ordered brisket, pulled pork, ribs, coleslaw, and macaroni & cheese. The coleslaw was eeehhh, but the asparagus was I could have eaten two plates of that.
Our waiter was attentive. ..and made sure to bring me a birthday dessert
I highly recommend, especially for a date night. It was 7 of us and our bill was $850.00

Food tested horrible didn’t even bother the minimum spices to the food. Anything that we order medium well came in well done and a little bit burned. The only good thing about this place was the service from the two guys that we had other than The food was bad. Also, they told us That the restaurant is fully booked while it was empty, which I didn’t understand so they sat us outside with the stuff they were kind and brought us heaters. The charged us with 9 people service while 2 of the 9 were between the age of 1 and 3.
