Great food. Service was lacking, which is a change from several months ago. Music was not consistent and volume went from good volume for dinner conversation to extremely loud.

We love Chicago Q and they never disappoint. The BBQ is the best and I also love their shrimp and grits. They will bring you potato chips and pickles as a pre-dinner snack and they are addictive! I love the sides, particularly the Mac-n-cheese and cornbread. Chicago Q is a mainstay in our dining rotation.
