About Q Barbeque Mulgrave

Low-and-slow Texas barbecue thrives behind an unassuming storefront in Mulgrave. Beyond the front counter lies a heated, climate-controlled marquee tent fitted with picnic tables and wood-smoke aromas. Diners gather over shared platters loaded with tender sliced brisket, pulled pork, and smoky ribs balanced by tangy house slaw and fries.

  • Hidden Marquee Dining: Set behind a modest takeaway front, the expansive covered beer-garden tent features picnic tables, music, and climate control.
  • Texas-Style Shared Platters: Communal boards stack slow-smoked beef brisket, juicy pulled pork, ribs, and sausages alongside Southern sides.

  • Unexpected Hidden Marquee Setting

    Guests walking past the humble takeaway counter enter a vibrant, expansive rear beer-garden marquee dining hall.

    When the young lady led us down a hallway to the giant marquee set up out the back, I have to say I was blown away. The whole thing was awesome.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the dining space and seating like?

While the storefront looks like a modest takeaway shop, seating opens into a spacious undercover marquee tent out back fitted with picnic tables, heaters, and climate control.

What should you order if sharing?

The menu is built around generous Texas-style barbecue platters, such as platters for two or family platters featuring brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and smoked sausages paired with sides.

Where is the best place to park?

Parking can be limited near the venue during peak weekend rushes, so visitors recommend parking at the nearby Dan Murphy's and walking through the alleyway. Free street parking, a free parking lot, and paid parking options are available in the area.

Do you need to plan ahead for wait times or bookings?

Peak times such as Friday nights can be very busy with extra wait times, though table bookings can be made online in advance.
