NakedQ BBQ — Restaurant in Scottsdale

My husband's office is down the street and we have been waiting for this place to open! SO glad it finally is!!!

We went last Friday and just beat the dinner crowd in. People were friendly, place was clean and food was AMAZING! For a family of 3 (1 being a 5 year old with a BIG appetite), we ordered half a rack of ribs, half a pound of sliced brisket, half a pound of pulled pork, large sides of Mac and cheese and that day's veggie was roasted broccoli with roasted garlic. Our little one devoured everything, including the broccoli! She put it best by saying dinner was "YUMMY-LI-CIOUS!" The portions were generous and we did end up with some leftovers. Oh, and they served everything with these little pickle slices that were a little sweet, a little sour and just a little too perfect that we fought each other for the last one! ;)

Unfortunately, we enjoyed our meal SO much we forgot to save room for dessert. For only $2, it was a shame to pass up, but there's always next time! And there DEFINITELY will be a next time! The meats we ordered were flavorful without being salty (I'm picky and hate how so many places oversalt everything, but not here!). The brisket had a beautiful smoke ring and was fork tender! The ribs weren't fall off the bone, but still tender enough that a child missing her two front bottom teeth still managed to make her way through without any issues! And the pulled pork... SO flavorful and juicy (not dry without any sauce) that it didn't really need any sauce!

My husband and I preferred the spicy sauce but our little one preferred the other milder version. Again, not salty but super yummy! We didn't try the mustard sauce (had to leave a few things for next time!) but heard from another table it is worth trying.

Only complaint is that at that time of day (about 5:30/6ish) the sun comes in and is bothersome. But honestly, you'll be looking at your plate, not the person across from you... The food is just THAT good! Ok, and one more... No changing tables. We didn't need one, but it was not that long ago that I would rate a place family friendly or not by whether they made accommodations for children 3 and under (changing tables, high chairs, booster seats). Aside from those minor cosmetic things, I'm torn about sharing how great this place is! In my opinion, it has to be the best BBQ...

Well, first of all I ordered the 2 meat platter and 1 pound of brisket. After I paid for it, I heard the next customer talking about rewards. I asked about the rewards and they said, oh, you have to put in your number first. Nothing before. They should at least ask if you're a rewards member because it's few and far between. I spent $51.04. Then I started eating, grabbed 2 spicy sauce and only got one and a half cups because something was sticking out of the spicket. I left it. I pulled out 3 more pieces of what I thought was onions. It was perfectly cut plastic that I pulled apart and it stretched so I know it's plastic.so I showed the manager and he didn't even say sorry, I'll get you more. He said I don't know how that got in there and I think he changed it. I don't know. The customer after me just threw the 4th piece of plastic into the soda dispenser. I showed the manager and he threw them away. I refilled my drink and he left 1 pice so i took it so i can show a picture that's it's perfectly cut. There was a total o 5 pices of plastic. So I've been to a Naked BBQ like 4 times but my husband has been here at least 40 times when he worked in Glendale, az. Now he works in Tempe, AZ so we just came back thru from Prescott, AZ and he wanted to stop. The other location was closed. So the manager dud absolutely nothing not even a sorry. I d I don't think we'll be back to this...

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...
