You know you’re in for a treat when you’ve got a national barbecue champion at the helm of a restaurant. This is exactly the case for Q39, which has enjoyed plenty of attention thanks to Chef Rob Magee. Magee has a penchant for pushing the boundaries of barbeque and, with three decades of experience at the pit, he certainly has a distinct flair to his cooking style. The busy restaurant marries rustic charm with modern design and promotes coming together as a community, with features like a large communal table and a patio with beautiful urban views.

Crowd pleasers at Q39 include the certified Black Angus beef brisket and the house-made Chipotle Sausage. Diners also enjoy the distinct smokiness and flavor of the chargrilled chicken. Hefty plates of meat are a standard at Q39 and are served with mouthwatering sides like apple coleslaw, a choice of potato salad or beans, and fresh rolls. Burger enthusiasts shouldn’t miss out on the ground brisket burgers either.
