Great BBQ at Great Prices

by bashtheogre

I love the food here! I use to live pretty close to the Q-Shack and have tried *everything* on the menu except the hamburger. (Why would I want to get a hamburger will all the different BBQ on that menu!?!) Now that I've moved to a different part of Durham, I still go back frequently.

They have great pulled pork, brisket, and smoked turkey. When I'm looking for a healthier meal I'll get the cobb salad (which includes brisket and turkey).

The Q-Shack staff is very friendly and the prices are great. Don't miss this restaurant!

• Pros: Love all the food
• Cons: none

Perfect after a late movie!

I got brisket, black eyed peas, and hushpuppies and I do not have a since complaint. The service was quick, everything was hot, and they had a wide variety on the menu. I liked how the meat was local, too. Fast food type seating, made to order, and TVs everyewhere.

Best BBQ in the triangle

by gte990n

Okay, I haven't been to every BBQ place the triangle has to offer. But I have been to over half a dozen of the most touted places, including Allen & Sons and Bullock's, and the Q shack tops them all. While the ribs and the brisket are about average, the pulled pork and pulled chicken are out of this world. The sides are also amazing, including rotating specials like sweet potato fries and pepper jack creamed spinach, as well as classic staples like mac and cheese, baked beans, cole slaw, and fried okra. Also, they're open Sunday which can't be said of some other local 'cue joints. The price is reasonable (about $9-10 for a 1/3 lb., 2 sides, and drink - ribs are more, of course) and you order at a counter, which cuts down on tips. Phenomenal.

• Pros: You come for the food and it delivers, price is reasonable, and there's ample parking and seating
• Cons: Hmm... not many, surprised that they don't have mashed potatoes or any sort of corn dish as a side. Also, the ribs are a little disappointing, especially considering the price
