Just Q’in Barbeque

Small out of the way location. Actually drove by it and turned around. It was worth the turn around. I got the pulled pork $ 10 plate with 2 sides. The pork was very tasty and there was ALOT of meat. The sides were tasty. Mac and cheese was good and the baked beans were tangy and very good. The cornbread most excellent! Good service, great food… we will be back.

Great food!
Good price!
Nice staff!
I recommend all the stuff on the menu. Take out family portions are great and you get plenty.

We just had the pulled pork for the first time today. I pass by here all the time, but have never eaten here. My parents raved about the pulled pork, so we got 2 lbs and some sauce and made sandwiches at home! Must try! Best pulled pork I think I’ve ever eaten! Perfect flavor– not too smokey, not too sweet or spicy for the sauce– just perfect! Great menu too!

Went by Just Q’in today to pick up a quick lunch. I’ve been before and my parents have used them to cater a party before, but I hadn’t been in a while. I know they started as a competition team and expanded to this location in Newtown. It is a bit of a religious theme (the names of the plates and the logo), but it’s not super in your face if that’s a potential turn off for you. You could pretty much be Nickelback themed and have good BBQ, and I would be completely fine with it. They make everything there and you can always smell the smoker before you get to that intersection.
Today, I got the ½ lb smoked pork plate with two sides (double mac and cheese, duh) and cornbread. I like leftovers and I knew I couldn’t eat a ½ lb of meat for lunch. I was in and out quickly, which I appreciated. Once I got to my destination and I was able to eat, I wasn’t disappointed! It was a huge helping of smoked pork, sauces on the side, my two mac and cheeses (don’t judge me) and the cornbread. The pork was super tasty. The sauce they have is different than what I’ve had before. It’s a bit sweet, but also spice-​y, as in some spices like cinnamon and whatnot. It’s different, but it’s really good. The mac and cheese was your standard, homemade mac and cheese, nothing wrong with that. The cornbread was surprisingly good. I like cornbread, but it’s never a must have or anything. Theirs is though! It was sort of in between a sweet cornbread and savory cornbread with something extra added to it… spicy except not. I’m not sure what they add, but it had me wanting more cornbread which is kind of funny haha
Quick, friendly service and yummy food! Thanks Just Q’n!

I have never given a restaurant one star, but we were so disappointed with the food here. The staff is super nice, but the BBQ meat is so dry it’s hard to eat. The side dishes are a little better but that’s not saying much. Don’t waste your time, go to Eli’s!

Moved out of state a few years ago. Every time I come back home to visit I’ve seen this place on the corner and have been dying to give it a try. We finally did and it was well worth the stop. Great price, amazing food. Laid back with some cool music inside. We will most definitely come back again!

The religious theme is a little jarring, but *wow* — that Texas-​style brisket is *amazing*. Couldn’t get enough of the bark and I haven’t found anywhere close to this in the Cincinnati area. The «we’re out when we’re out» is comforting too — no leftovers here!

I’m pretty sure in a past life I was a pork connoisseur … I love pork and I’m really picky about my pork. With that said I still usually dive into new places with an open mind because you never know when you’ll get the best pulled pork sandwich of your life.
That didn’t happen for me this time, but it was still a darn good plate of pulled pork. There was a side addition of slaw… a little on the vinegar side, which isn’t my favorite but with the type of sauce they used the flavors of it all married quite well.
It was nice to have the opportunity to give Just Q’in a try at the Pig & Whisky Festival!

Super obsessed with this place. We go as often as possible. The meat is amazing and the sides are fantastic. Keep in mind, the Mac is more buttery than cheesy, and the slaw is vinegar based, both are awesome. Get there early because once the food is gone, it’s gone! My only complaint is it closing at 7pm and not open on Sunday’s!

With time to kill before my flight out of Cincy tonight, it was important that I satisfy my bbq jones. I chose this place as a second since the first was closed today. Wait, it’s Friday afternoon– what a stupid day to be closed I now ponder. But here I am on default at Just Q’In. And I’m slightly disappointed. My fault as my urge and desire set the expectation. Plus the Unilocal review.
The service was wonderful, my Pulled Pork Sandwich brought out quickly. The outside tent and picnic tables is a great place to eat on this beautiful day. Unfortunately, the sandwich was only 3 stars in my opinion. The slaw was good and I liked the addition of chopped celery in it. The potato roll was the right size and fresh. It was the pork that disappointed. The meat itself lacked any pizazz or flavor to make it special. I tasted no spices, tangyness, or burst. It came from the sauce that was smothered on. Just too much for my liking. The sauce was just ok and smacked of too much ketchup or tomato based ingredient although it was dark orange.
All in all, with the lovely attentive counter girl and the quick service, the sandwich met my BBQ fix but if back in Cincy I will try my first choice– if open!

Stopped in here today because it was nearby and I had heard good things. I’ve got to say I’m not too impressed. My brisket was fatty and bland, and the green beans i got were ice cold! We didn’t get a chance to try anything else, as they were sold out of everything but pork and brisket. The service was friendly and speedy, the atmosphere is family friendly.
Overall not worth my time, probably won’t be back.

Finally tried them after driving by all the time!!! It’s fantastic great food very good price and good service.

mmmm… the ribs are really good! had the right amount of smoke and sauce. Nice and tender fall off bone. love the baked beans and sauce too.

Extraordinarily good food with friendly service to match. I have eaten here multiple times and have tried just about everything. I would say the ribs are my favorite for now though. They do not offer fountain drinks though, only canned soda but when eating authentic BBQ like this you don’t care what you’re drinking.
The dining room is extremely small (6 tables I believe) but there is plenty of picnic benches outside. For me this just made the place feel more personable and I absolutely loved it.

My favorite bbq is brisket & my favorite brisket is from Just Q’n. It’s flavorful, smoky, & most importantly moist. I don’t use bbq sauce, so especially with brisket, if it’s dry, yuck. Not theirs. I’ve carried out several times & eaten there a couple times. I dream of the juicy brisket & unbelievable mac and cheese, the best at any barbecue place I’ve tried. I’ve also tried their bbq green beans, which were just OK.
My husband, who is a bbq pulled pork connoisseur, didn’t care for theirs, mainly because he didn’t like the sauce. He also didn’t like the ribs because (this is his very unique preference) they were TOO tender for him. (Yes, he likes TOUGH ribs.) You guys failed at that one Just Q’n, sorry! LOL! So, therefore, most people should find the ribs to be to their tenderness liking… However, my husband also loved the mac & cheese and tried the smoked chicken (which he usually never gets anywhere & wasn’t even expecting to like) & LOVED it. Staff is also always friendly & helpful.

My husband loves ribs. So for Valentine’s Day we had a little trip to Cincinnati and I had read about this place being mentioned as being so good. We had no idea what to expect, but when we got there it’s a small place in a small town, but big flavor! It was the best pulled pork I’ve ever had and he loved the ribs. Oh and the Mac and cheese is awesome.

The ribs were falling off the bone so tender they were cooked to perfection wasn’t my favorite sauce ever but don’t need sauce with ribs cooked this well.
I thought the Mac n cheese was good the green beans ok but the smoky bbq baked beans were the highlight of the meal

I thought the Q was awesome! Had the ribs, wings and beans. A lot of reviews are complaining because there was a lack of smoke flavor. Personally, I love bbq but not a fan of smokiness so this was perfect for me. The sauce was great. The beans– YUM! Best I’ve had. I did not try the mac n cheese but my daughter so it was tasty.
We WILL visit again!

It sounds like this place either has good and bad days, or people are really picky.
I hit it on a good day. Lunch was the pork sandwich topped with slaw. Immense sando and lots of flavor. Quick service.
It’s not Eli’s but nothing is in this town. I would rate it third behind them and BBQ Revue.
Not everything can be Franklin BBQ in Austin, people!

Last night my partner dined in here. And I use the term «dined» loosely!
Well the ribs were «okay» and for the ½ slab 13.99 for a little hole in the wall was «way» overpriced as were the side of smoked baked beans 2.00 and half of it was sauce. Not impressed at all.
I had the wings 6 for 5.00 and they were «okay» and a bit dry. The side of mac and cheese was very good 2.00. I asked for a cup and some ice with my Pepsi and was told «We don’t have ice»! What, on a 95 degree day, you do not have any ice for your soda pop??? We definitely will «not» return again.
BTW, my ribs and baked beans blow these guys away! My intention is to be honest and anyone could prepare what we had at home for ½ the price and probably be much better quality.
