What People Are Saying About Q
The Owner
Q
Owner
Voted "Best Comfort Food" in the Bay Area, and receiving too many rave reviews to mention, Q is an electrifying, "happening" neighborhood restaurant that has been called an "acid trip of an eatery." The decor is artsy and hip, the music rockin'. The menu is an eclectic mix of American comfort food with down home favorites such as pork spare ribs, fried chicken, fresh fish, and mac and cheesy, along with a variety of vegetarian items.

Original works by local artists and whimsical tables embedded with games diners can play while they wait make Q one of the neighborhood's funkiest--and busiest--restaurants. The Southern comfort food favorites don't hurt this endearing eatery's popularity either. Hordes of casually dressed creative types show up each night for huge plates of fried chicken, mac and cheese (brilliantly topped with tater tots) and meatloaf, although there are always a few specials with a more West coast flavor like herb-crusted fish or seared beef medallions. Brunch brings much of the same--hearty fare like…

Baguette Bfast
by benchiaramonte
My friend Dean and I visited this place for breakfast. His family owns a diner up in Humboldt County and so they know their stuff. Imagine their clients. I won't speak for Dean but Qs bfast was reasonably priced and had some unique choices. My favorite was the French Toast which takes the baguette breakfast to a new level. French Toasted baguette! I normally prefer a gushy sloppy oozing egg french toast, but this crunchy version was great. Lil bacon on the side and a wonderful salty sweet concoction to wake you up.
- Pros: Great diorama tables
- Cons: not much

- Pros: good food/good service
- Cons: parking

Nice place for burger / different choices of food
by kk9982
Went to Q for my boyfriend's birthday on Friday 5/2. Luckily we went there around 6:30, found a parking right outside and got our seat right-a-way. Customers came after us got to wait a bit.
He ordered burger with garlic fries & root beer float, and I have ordered mussel & risotto & a glass of house Merlot. We both love this place! All food we have ordered were tasty! His burger was not come with a slice of cheese, but a big "cube" of cheese! You know, the cube was about 1 inch thick! Maybe that's why you won't think a $8-9 dollar burger from Q is overprice.
The price for the whole meal was about $50 after tips! With different choices of food (He loves burger and I don't) and reasonable price, we will go back again.
- Pros: food & food!
- Cons: parking. Have an early dinner and you could find your parking and seats.
The Details on Q
Where to Sit:
The two sidewalk tables are a nice place to sip one of Q's well-chosen beers on tap and watch the bustle of Clement Street.
Know Before You Go:
The colorful, yet robust surroundings, and arguably the best macaroni and cheese in the city makes Q great for kids.
