Reviews

The brisket they sent me was literally nothing but fat. The whole meal was awful compared to what I usually get from them. Thought I was a good customer, but I guess not. Won't be ordering from here again.

Good food. Friendly delivery man. If you're ordering late, don't get the rice and beans because they are a bit stale.

Delicious food, really fast delivery. Ordered the meal deal and they forgot my soda. The food made up for it, though :)

Consistently the best barbecue in the Capital Region.

Great BBQ food and the side dishes are wonderful too. If you're in the mood for home cooking, don't hesitate to order from here. Top notch!

First time ordering here, food was great!

If you want lines and hype, go somewhere else. If you want great BBQ, Capital Q is the place to go.

Ribs were amazing. Delivery was quicker than expected.

Rachael — 11/2/2011 5 out of 5 stars

Quick, courteous and delivered with no hang-ups, the deliver service was top notch. The food was everything I expect from both the restaurant and the truck (which I sometimes frequent at the ESP).

Best BBQ in upstate NY.

Richard — 6/26/2011 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing, delicious food with prompt service. My favorite Albany restaurant, hands down.

Jessica — 5/27/2011 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (okay, no cole slaw as advertised but that's fine with me), fried okra, mac and cheese (yum) and the beef jerky (delicious for the 2 bites I had - my dog stole the rest when I wasn't looking, and she seemed to enjoy it).

Kristina — 5/13/2011 4 out of 5 stars

Every time we eat here the food is fantastic.

Bryan — 4/14/2011 5 out of 5 stars

Pretty good stuff...

Glenn — 3/4/2011 4 out of 5 stars

Delivery was fast and food was delicious, as usual. My only complaint is that the mashed potatoes were not as tasty as they usually are. Hope it's a one-time anomaly. I'll definitely order from Capital Q again.

Rachael — 2/26/2011 4 out of 5 stars

Fast delivery. I can't tell if I like Capital Q or Dinosaur BBQ better, but one of them is definitely the best BBQ I've ever had.

Chris — 2/17/2011 5 out of 5 stars

Food arrived fast (40 min), hot, and delicious. Great wings! Ribs are enormous and tasty. Chicken nicely brined and smoked. Will no doubt order again.

William — 2/12/2011 4 out of 5 stars

Conor — 9/17/2010 5 out of 5 stars

I've never tasted worse bbq. Dry cornbread, and the ribs almost tasted microwaved. The only good thing was the pulled pork sandwich.

Jason — 7/17/2010 2 out of 5 stars

Great place. Glad it is in my neighborhood.

Travis — 7/9/2010 5 out of 5 stars

Michele — 6/12/2010 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic BBQ. Perfect size portions. Enough to fill you up, but leaves you wanting more.

Bryan — 6/3/2010 4 out of 5 stars

Everyone was happy with everything! This place is the best.

Kent — 5/28/2010 5 out of 5 stars

they sent us home with the wrong order. Called our house and said "you guys picked up the wrong order" (more specifically, they GAVE us the wrong order). So hubby had to schlep back to restaurant to get correct food; of course they couldn't take the "wrong" order back so we had four dinners total. And we were really excited to try Capital Q after reading the reviews, but the food? meh.

Rebecca — 5/14/2010 3 out of 5 stars

The staff was very friendly.Order was ready right on time, and it was hot and delicious.
