Whistle Q - BBQ

Full disclosure, my wife is from Kansas City so we're kinda partial to that style. I grew up here in Ga and it took me a while to understand why KC bbq is so much better. That's not to say there's not good bbq around here because there is. We've read the reviews of WhistleQ and finally made time to get over here. We had the brisket sammich, fries, potater (that's how they say it!) and smoked wings. The brisket was flavorful but not as tender as others we've had. The beef tallow fries were really good. The tater salad was a little bland but nothing a little s&p wouldn't fix. I felt the wings were small for the money but the flavor was on point. Didn't have any ranch with them but didn't really need it. The brisket sammich probably could have had a little more meat based on the $19 price tag

Some of the best BBQ I’ve had, anywhere!! Was in town (from Tampa) so went big and got jalapeño popper fritters, rinds, meat sweats platter and smoked wings. When in Rome, err, Flowery Branch, right? Let me tell you that I’ve eaten my fair share of BBQ and this place does IT RIGHT. From the post oak to the slicing station all the way down to the scratch made sides and banana pudding, zero short cuts taken. This isn’t a quick service restaurant…yes, it’s small. Yes. It’s efficient. But my god- the quality is incredible. Highly recommend the ribs! It’s not something I would typically order but they were lights out amazing that I may never eat brisket or pulled pork again!! (At least not in Flowery Branch). 10/10. Will be back whenever I am in GA!

Oh man you are in for some real BBQ of you visit this gem of a place! They serve what they have until it runs out so go a little early if you can for lunch or dinner. We luckily got the last batch of lunch smoked wings and talk about a blend of crispy, smoky and tender deliciousness ! They serve with a side of an Alabama or something dipping sauce that’s really good as well. Their sides were amazing too! You can’t go wrong. We tried the okra which was fresh fried, potato salad was amazing, collards were fresh. Also tried the BBQ Pork which was really good. They have one type of sauce at the table that was good as well. My only gripe was they give you a piece of bread with your meal and I would prefer toasted and buttered. The chef did come around to check on everyone and he told Me

When you open your box of ribs and feel like a judge at the BBQ competition, you know it’s going to be good. BTW that was my “over order” TOGO box because I wanted ribs to share when I got back to work, at least that’s my story! I had the brisket sandwich, the brisket was sliced on the block in front of me and it was a great, perfect mix of lean and marbled!

Great barbecue ribs I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the different sauces offered ,though barbecue ribs were good even without sauce. The restaurant was very clean and the food was very flavorful as well as a lot of food on their plate.
