The Original Q Shack

Great hush puppies and BBQ! Nice outdoor space to sit. Would be awesome to have a protein option for vegetarians so that I can bring more people along!

Amazing quality. I couldn't stop eating even though I was full. I don't know when I'll be back in North Carolina but I'll make sure to recommend this place to anyone I know visiting.

The best BBQ joint in Durham and even the greater RTP area. A must try when in town! Fried okra is amazing!

First time here and everything was delicious. I had the brisket and added some barbecue. Others in my group had ribs and chicken and all got good reviews. Would definitely come back.

The chili beef brisket is absolutely amazing. You get so much food, we could have easily split a regular plate. I liked the pork ribs a lot, but the seasonings on the brisket was just so good that I'd have to get that next time. The fried okra, Mac and cheese, and collards were great as well. Five out of five for sure.

One of the better bbq places in North Carolina. The variety of meats and sides offered here is one of the best. I really like the pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. On Wednesday (I think) you can get the pimento cheese BLT, which is great. For sides, I almost always go with the jack cheese spinach. Parking is tight here, which during busy times can be a pain.

The ribs were perfectly spiced and falling off the bone. I loved the BBQ beans as well. I might even go again. It looked like a bluegrass band was setting up to play inside on a Sunday evening just as I was leaving. There were lots of families there, great kid friendly meals.

I usually eat here every time I'm in the area. Good portions and price. I think it is better than the pit that everyone recommends.

Best BBQ in town! Fresh, fast, and always busy. Pork plate with 2 sides and of course hushpuppies...delish

Very good brisket, green beans, and hush puppies! When they say hush puppies are included, they actually give you a good portion and not just 2-3 small ones. They give you like 8-9 good ones. Very happy with the experience. Staff was friendly and food was very good with a large portion!

I LOVE this place, it's a piece of Texas in Durham North Carolina... It's been around for 16+ years and the owner is working harder than ever to keep his customers happy. The brisket is juicy, the smoked chicken was flavorful, and the ribs were off the charts. They have daily specials, outside covered sitting on picnic tables, and super quick service.

Really good classic barbecue and southern side dishes cooked right, and fast service! I brought friends from Oakland who'd never had NC barbecue and they loved it.

Good variety of BBQ here and different sauces available. Prices a a little higher than I would like but not overly expensive. I would rather eat at City BBQ.

EXCELLENT BBQ - especially the ribs and pulled pork. Love it!

Great Qshack Cobb Salad. Quick in and out. Limited parking.
