NEVER have I had a bad meal since about 2015,… Started eating here after my visit a DUMC… My ultimate favorite meal is the Brisket… So tender, and moist, the words cannot do it justice… Also. I like the pulled pork plate… and just the amount of servings… The Mac and Cheese is the best side but my wife argues the Collards are best… But can’t forget the baked beans and I like to add more of their great tasting BBQ Sauce… After all, they are the best in Durham…

Do they smoke the food here? Not a trace of hickory smoke outside. Inside I think they had a bunch of hickory smoke candles. Got a brisket sandwich which was big enough for two meals. It comes with a side and a bunch of fabulous hush puppies. I'd stop just for the hush puppies.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance.

The Original Q Shack had outstanding review ratings, so I took a three-hour trip to eat there on November 23rd. They serve generous portions of food; you won't leave hungry. The brisket was on the nearly dry side. Jalapeño deviled eggs sound wonderful, but it's just a slice of jalapeño at the top that makes it different from average, that's all. The hush puppies were very good. The shredded pork was just a hair above average. The pimento cheese grits were excellent....
