Amazing food and a beautiful view of the marina!
Megan was amazing!
Well, what can I say! I was in town for my nephew's graduation as a Marine. We decided to celebrate on Friday, October 2, 2026. We stopped in and got a table. Everything from the food to the service was just amazing. I believe the server's name was Megan, and she was awesome. I live in Texas and to get barbecue this good anywhere else. Good Job Guys!!!

Q on Bay in Beaufort offers a mix of experiences, with many praising the food but noting inconsistent service. The menu features items like fried shrimp tacos, a BBQ platter, ribs, chicken wings, and pulled pork. Specific dishes receive high marks: the ribs are described as tender and amazing, the shrimp is good, and wings can have wonderfully crispy skin. Sauces like the Asian-inspired tiger sauce and white tiger sauce are favorites. Sides like the loaded baked potato are also highlighted as excellent. The craft beer selection is noted as wonderful.
However, several reviews point to recurring service issues. Guests report long waits for seating, ordering, and food, even when the restaurant is not overly busy. Orders sometimes arrive incorrect, such as receiving a seafood platter instead of a shrimp platter, or food is served cold. While many staff members, including bartenders and servers, are consistently described as amazing, kind, and going above and beyond, there are lapses in attention and coordination. The atmosphere is enhanced by live music. Overall, the restaurant has great potential and delicious food, but service can be uneven, impacting the experience.
