The Q Restaurant & Bar

Had rsvp for late lunch on a Sunday but they weren’t busy at all so it would have been fine to just walk in. Our server was nice and friendly. We ordered the fried chicken dinner which included mashed potatoes and gravy and a bowl of collard greens. Probably one of the best fried chicken plates I’ve had. The chicken was moist with good flavor and super crispy skin. The mashed potatoes and gravy were very tasty and those may have been thee best greens from a restaurant that I’ve had. Super tasty with a tiny bit sweet + tiny bit tangy + tiny bit smokey from the meat. We also ordered the half-rack of ribs which were delicious and tender. Opted to substitute the slaw (there were a few varieties to choose from) for French Fries. The restaurant had a nice vibe and they had a couple screens around the bar so we were able to watch the Niners game. Definitely will return and recommend The Q!

New location on 1313 Main Street (from Bel Air plaza in North Napa, closed now) . Still great food, ambiance, wine, cocktails. Indoor table and bar seating, outdoor seating in the back patio. Large slider opens the front of the restaurant on nice days, feels semi outdoors. Accessible restrooms, entrance no steps, no steps to back patio, mostly concrete. Fried chicken was great, nice light cornmeal crust. Greens had excellent texture (little sweet for me, I prefer more savory but big pieces of brisket for flavor made up for it!) All good, well flavored. Excited to go back:)

Great service and Food! We truly appreciate the young man that walked us to our seats. The young lady that suggested cherry lemon drop ..The meal was great

EXCEPTIONAL 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. 10000/10

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.

The food was Awesome!! I ordered the half rack baby back ribs with amazing Coleslaw. The smoked brisket sandwich that came with fries!! Both were awesome!!

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.

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 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 😂🤣

Visited Napa from Charleston, SC and The Q felt just like home. The manager Matthew is so hospitable and has the most amazing personality. He warmly welcomed my party of 6, making each of us feel so comfortable. Matthew and our server checked on us often, were extremely accommodating and gave great recommendations on menu items. We ordered several items and were satisfied with everything! The deviled eggs were fantastic and being from down South, the fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese and cornbread passed the test with flying colors! Had the pleasure of meeting the chef who was so kind and appreciative. No matter how full you may seem, you can't skip out on dessert! It is well worth every single calorie. Ecstatic that I found this gem and cant wait to return again!

You will not be disappointed!! When we walked in we felt greeted and we were treated like royalty. The music was lively, the aura of the place was warm and open, modern, inviting. The staff was awesome! When you get there talk to the manager Mathew! He’ll make your day! Savannah was sweet and very hospitable. Cheers for the chef!!! Whoever that person was deserves an award. The baby back ribs and brisket was tender and fell off the bone. Mac n cheese, piping hot and flavorful. Mashed potatoes, grilled Brussel sprouts, coleslaw, garlic fries! Nice size portions, they are NOT skimpy on the food and it’s all worth the price. Went here for my birthday and I’m glad I chose this place!

Phenomenal Fried Chicken and the tenderest ribs I’ve ever had. Also LoVE the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. Great wine selection and amazing cocktails that change with the season. The Q R&B never disappoints.

The food was fantastic. We order BBQ. The ribs were yummy. Fish and chips were delicious. I like the brisket but my hubby not so much. It's nice that they have vegetarian options at BBQ restaurant. They even have Vietnamese noodle soup (pho). I was very intrigued but I didn't order since I prefer my pho to be more authentic than fusion. The location is very nice. They even out outside seating in the back. It's very well decorated. We had a baby in our party but no issue at all. The staff were very friendly and service was great. All in all, we had a great time there. Highly recommend.

Super BBQ spot! Location in downtown so street parking or garage are an option. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather under covered seating. Super hospitable, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Soulful old school R&B music really gives you that “family bbq/reunion” feel. The frozen margaritas were balanced (not too much ice or not enough alcohol). Highly recommend the bbq mix plate if you want to have some of everything from their awesome meat menu. Great for family, date, hangout nights. They even make their own bbq sauces that are a must try from sweet and tangy with a little spice to a lot of spice. The baked Mac and cheese is made al dente with crunchy and cheesy. Collard greens are also a must with their house vinegar. Also clean bathroom with historic photos.

Went in for a planned business dinner and we first arrived and had drinks which were very prompt. Then we were seated in the back and the service continued to be impeccable. The servers and hostess really went above and beyond to see that our party was happy. The food was great and I would like to come in again on my personal time. See you soon!

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 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!

Ordered the grilled Angus beef. Cheeseburger and a side of the deep fried dill pickles. A little disappointed with both. The deep fried dill pickles although tasty were very oily. They were so oily they were shiny. They also had a slight fishy flavor. Could be because they were cooked in canola oil or they were cooked in the same oil that was used to cook fish. Not sure. The cheeseburger was the bigger disappointment. The bun was over toasted on the verge of being burnt. I ordered the burger cooked to medium. Unfortunately the burger arrived cooked past well done. It was very dry. Not juicy at all. No drip on the plate juicy. And no drip down your arms juicy. It was just dry. It tasted okay, but it would have been better if it was a little juicier. I really would have liked it if It was cooked to medium.

As a small business owner, I would like to offer a bit of constructive criticism. The girl that greeted us at the door was kind but was a bit quiet and didn't come off overly friendly, which is necessary as a greeter. Our waitress (guessing maybe the owner) was super nice and informative. The only reason for the three star review is that my brisket sandwich was all fat. I would suggest in the future making sure that the fat is trimmed and customers are actually getting meat on their sandwich instead of all fat. The fries they came with the sandwich were nice and crispy but a little overwhelming as a side. My wife did enjoy her pulled chicken but also thought there were a few too many fries. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
