NakedQ BBQ is a casual BBQ restaurant that serves dry rubbed barbecued meats at three locations in metro Phoenix. NakedQ BBQ is located in Glendale (Westgate), Scottsdale and in the Deer Valley part of North Phoenix. The Phoenix location is small and casual.
It usually has an appetizing smokey smell when you walk in.
You order at the counter and you pay and either take your tray of food with you to the table or they run the food out to you. This restaurant was featured in our local paper The Arizona Republic. According to Go Shindig the NakedQ BBQ in Deer Valley was listed on Go Shindig’s Ultimate BBQ Road Trip based on reviews and prices.
The meats they offer are pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, sliced turkey, jalapeño hot link and ribs. Only a couple times a year they offer a FORKING AMAZING smoked corned beef. Most meats are offered on sandwiches that are priced around $8 or $9 that includes a side. Platters are offered in one or two meat platters that include two sides and a corn muffin. Most platters are priced around $14-$20.
The atmosphere is casual and woody with Naked Q BBQ logos all around.
They have a roll of paper towels on every table. They also have a small station of house sauces that you can add so your meat isn’t naked. They offer a North Carolina Style vinegar based sauce, a South Carolina mustard based sauce, a sweet sauce and a spicy sauce.
This day I got the Turkey Salad because on previous trips the BBQ Turkey was always my favorite meat. ($9.00)
The salad is kind of average but it seems fresh. The Turkey really is very good, moist and is full of great flavors. I like that this is a sensible portion of food. Usually I get overly stuffed at BBQ places.
On a different visit I got the garden salad with turkey.
The above salad was only $9……It’s almost fast food priced and is bigger and better than fast food.
My husband got a two meat platter and a side of hot links.
Another time my husband got the same plate…On this day everything was tastier and even more succulent. This time he asked for the fatty. You should ask for the fatty if you want succulent.
Above are hot links to go.
I was lucky enough to get that amazing smoked corned beef sandwich twice. One was FORKING FANTABULOUS…..the other was from the lean side and tasted great but was a little dry.
Above is the one that was a little dry.
The above smoked corned beef sandwich were OFF THE CHARTS FORKING INCREDIBLE……OMG….Succulent …so amazing….These sandwiches made the same would be a best sandwich of Phoenix.
On a previous visit we had a 2 meat platter with brisket and pulled chicken, a slaw, green beans and a corn muffin.
Here’s a pulled pork, sausage, macaroni and cheese and a corn muffin with beans on the side.
Another time I had a one meat Turkey platter with slaw, broccoli and a corn muffin.
A one meat platter with brisket, macaroni and cheese, bbq beans and a corn muffin.
