Lucius Q

Lucius Q is a traditional barbecue joint with a modern-industrial vibe located in one of Cincinnati’s hottest up-and-coming neighborhoods. By bringing together the best barbecue styles from around the country, Lucius Q brings together people from every walk of life in a way that few restaurants can. Call it comfort food. Call it soul food. The approach is simple. We smoke our meats low and slow over oak and cherry wood and serve them with traditional southern sides. Our meat comes from the butcher shop around the corner. Our bread, from the local bakery. Everything else is made in house by our pit master - Cincinnati native, Tom Martin – and a staff of incredibly talented cooks, many of whom live in the neighborhood. We believe our bartenders are second to none. With a focus on quality bourbons, southern cocktails, and craft beers, you’re sure to find the perfect compliment to our ‘cue.
