Q Fanatic Artisan Bbq - Minneapolis

This place has delicious food!! I always get the Philly Q sandwich and the grilled veggies. I showed this place to a friend and he went back 3 days in a row! Its been a while since I have been back because I always seem to pass by when the restaurant is closed.

We had Q Fanatic cater an event for about 100 people at my workplace, and it was a fantastic experience. Charlie and his daughter were a pleasure to work with, and the food was absolutely incredible! Everyone raved about it, and many people expressed their excitement about bringing their families to the restaurant. The pricing was reasonable, the meat was delicious, and the portion sizes were perfect! Without a doubt, it was the best BBQ I’ve ever tasted! Wow!

Do yourself a favor. Order from the website or by phone. Also order extra sides if you want a balance ed meal. I've been eating Q fanatic food since the first week it opened. It's a shame what the pandemic has done to this and other businesses like this. Walking in and ordering at the counter was a big disappointment and the1/2 pint sides are just too small.

Showed up late afternoon on a weekday so no line. Chicken ham sandwich reportedly was very good. Sausages were good, though not as spicy as you might expect if you're used to Texas hot links or hot guts. Brisket point was perfectly cooked, sliced separately from the flat (not in one piece with the deckle). bark was lighter than I like, but the fat render was excellent. I spotted a big Alto-Shaam holding oven in the kitchen so I figure they hold a long time to get that fat render. Light smoke flavor on everything. Plenty of meat in the baked beans. Red beans and rice were a little disappointing (I learned that recipe with tons of tasso, filet and the beans cooked down into a superdense goo). Overall though one of the best barbecue places I've been to in the metro.

Amazing bbq! The ribs fall off the bones and the sauces are so yummy. Great Mac and cheese! Would highly recommend.
