Qdogs Bbq - Marion

Came here on a Monday night and they were quite literally out of every meat except pork, which didn't make me and my friends very happy. But when we came two days later for lunch, they had all their usual food choices, and the food was really good, as always. Long story short: if you want choices in meats, come for lunch, not supper.

Maybe the most cooked chewy dry ribs ever.I travel all over the US trying BBQ and smoked pork ribs are my favorite..Why would they serve 3 plates of over cooked ribs?. Cooked so much the sugar has caramelized into glass and you can 't bite it.We ate what we could and and mentioned to the server that moist ribs are way better. She said "We should have sent them all back, I said you should have served them ' ' .Cornbread slaw and potato salad is awesome...If you order ribs send them back or something you can eat.Other reviews stating the same problem.

Place has gone way down hill not open till they say they are hardly EVER! We’re not talking a hour early closed we’re talking hours early!!! Food is decent hit or miss some days it’s great others it’s poor thank for taking care of my BBQ craving at 6:30 when says you close at 9 I would have been there at 2 when I mapped out the menu but held off till dinner all for you to have no food available what a joke!

The place had the look and feel of good BBQ. A rick of wood on the porch walking in and I could smell smoke as well. The food even looked promising when it was delivered to me. I ordered the combo which came with pulled pork, brisket, a chicken leg and a hunk of cornbread. I also ordered the 2 rib sampler as well, and I chose apple slaw and smoked beans as my sides. At first glance, everything looked legit (especially the brisket). Unfortunately, it was all somewhat dry and I was a little surprised that there was almost no smoke flavor at all on my pulled pork or brisket. The ribs, although a little on the dry side and slightly chewy, actually did have a good smoke on them, despite the brisket and pulled pork having almost none. Wondering if they’re just “cooking” (you shouldn’t really “cook” BBQ) the food too fast/too high of heat instead of a true low-temp, slow smoking process, which gets you the deep smoke rings on the brisket and gives all the meat that “fall off the bone” tenderness??? That’s my guess. I travel all over the country and frequently travel to Texas which has some of the best BBQ in the world, so my expectations are quite high. But hey, if you’re gonna do it, why not do it right and strive to be the best around? Maybe I just came on the wrong night? Who knows. I’ll try it again the next time I come through town and I’ll update this review.

QDogs has been a long-time favorite of mine. I love the fry seasoning and other sides, and the pork is great. I especially like the choices of BBQ sauce, including a great mustard option (my favorite). My only complaint is that the large bun could use a touch more meat to fill it up.
