Went here for lunch and got the 1 meat plater- turkey, beans, broccoli, and corn bread with sweet tea watermelon. Corn bread was great - moist, wish a bigger piece, and had honey for it. Beans were good and even added a little sweet bbq!! Broccoli was AMAZING. Just try it! Tea was very good too... not too sweet, and the watermelon was a great added flavor. TURKEY!!! WOW. Hands down, this was the best turkey I've ever had. Cut like butter (plastic fork) and the smokey flavor. Then, it must have been the manager or owner came around and asked how everything was to everyone in there.. Next time, I'm in AZ 100% going back.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Meats were amazing!! Brisket was a show stopper! Very happy we stopped and tried the food! Also appreciated the gentle training the manager was doing with his whole staff. And the fact he came out to check on everyone in the restaurant when he didn’t have customers-so rare! You can truly see and feel this business values their customers and service! Will be back for sure!

The staff greeted us right when we arrived. We had our entire baseball team there. We all agreed it was amazing. The ribs and brisket are a must. Great cornbread and mac and cheese. They have vinegar bbq and vinegar mustard as well as homemade spicy and regular BBQ. I’ve had great BBQ in Nashville and Texas and this is up there with them.

Perfect BBQ place - the food is great, the prices are even better but what makes this place shine to me is how friendly the manager and his team are. Don't skip on the dessert, the banana pudding is my favorite 🔥

Ordered 2 1/2 pounds of pulled pork for a Super Bowl party. Had to pick it up a day early but Shane told us exactly how to warm it in the oven or crock pot to avoid drying out the meat. My wife added just a bit of chicken broth for moisture and heated to about 165 degrees as recommended. Our guests loved it! Even though we served it with potato buns, guests were soon piling their plates with just pork. Naked Q is a great place, with amazing food and really nice people! Get there soon!!!

The staff were so friendly and helpful since I was asking for leaner cuts of brisket. They answered all of my questions about the Mac & cheese and potato salad and sauces. I took it to go & just ate some of it. Oh my God! The spicy sauce is so good! The brisket was perfect! And the Mac and cheese was the best kind of comfort food. I didn’t try the potato salad or cornbread yet. I also opted out of the homemade pickles just because I prefer dill pickles. But, I don’t I’ll definitely be back every time I’m on this side of town! Btw, I’m from Kansas City, MO. I know my BBQ.
Went to Naked for the first time and I can’t believe I hadn’t gone before. First off the prices way cheaper than probably anywhere in the valley. $16 for a 2 meat 2 side platter. Huge salted chocolate cookie $2. Wow! Did the pandemic inflation miss this spot? All the employees seemed genuinely happy to be there too. They had wood stacked inside and outside which is always a good starting point for judging any BBQ spot. The brisket was cooked perfect, held together but came apart without effort. The real star of the show was the turkey though. I am almost always disappointed with turkey but this was the best I’ve ever tasted. It was moist, tender and flavorful, just perfection. I got to try some ribs and chicken which were great as well. The sides were good and the corn bread was the best of the lot. Real corn in the mix and it was not crumbly or dry like most places. The only thing I was disappointed in was that their tshirts that said “Eat Naked” were sold out. As we were leaving the owner Oren came around and chatted with me for a while. He’s one of those owners that just loves what he does and you can tell by his product and his employees. I will be coming back here as soon as I can to support great people and a phenomenal business.
Really nice people and fantastic BBQ. They will slice the brisket if you prefer that to chopped — just ask!

Whoa!
NakedQ, it’s tremendous staff, and absolutely delectable food are located in the heart of North Scottsdale on Shea Boulevard.
My family and I gave thanks for the phenomenal and so yummy NakedQ traditional turkey dinner this past Thanksgiving 2024. From the whole smoked turkey to the gravy & dinner rolls, what a delightfully delicious holiday meal to share with loved ones and friends. No fuss and no muss from pickup to consumption, an awesome family dinner was had by all.
Keep up the strong work NakedQ.

I had pulled pork sandwich. My friend got the brisket. Doing it again, and after trying the brisket, I'd have done a brisket sandwich instead. Not that the sandwich was better than the meat by itself, nor that the deal was a better value, but simply that it was cheaper and I preferred the brisket to the pulled pork.
The vibe of the place was like a chipotle, but not pretending to be healthy, and also not feeling vastly overpriced (but these days everything is expensive).
Plenty of parking.

Fresh, generous portions. Brisket - no sauce needed! My one meat platter + 2 sides was very affordable and even came w pickles and pickled onions plus cornbread! Sauces- I thought the vinegar based one was best. The sweet and spicy were a bit too heavy on the dark molasses for me, but that's a taste preference. Mustard based BBQ sauce is also available. I'll be visiting regularly when I come to the Phoenix area.
Nice atmosphere. Great selection of tasty meats. Friendly staff.
