Hear from our valued guests
Ordered brisket & pulled pork breakfast burritos to go and I was very impressed!! The smoked meats were tender, seasoned well, and packed with flavor! Try it, you won't regret it 😄
R+Q Kitchen in Fillmore delivered an excellent experience from start to finish. I ordered the Cobb Salad with brisket, and it was the perfect choice delicious, satisfying, and filling. Ash provided outstanding service; she was friendly, attentive, and informative throughout the meal. I’m already looking forward to coming back soon. Highly recommend!
This is a BBQ place in, of all places, a car dealership. I had the Texas Toast BLT, add avocado, and side of bacon potato salad. Whoever thought of putting bacon on top of potato salad is a genius. The sandwich was fantastic. It had a ton of bacon cooked perfectly and a half a sliced avocado. If I had one wish for the meal it would have been for both slices of the bread to be toasted (the slice on the plate was the tiniest bit soggy - not a deal breaker by any means). My pickle garnish made me squint (this is the litmus test by which I measure the tangy yumminess of dill pickles....I give it an A). In fact I give the whole meal an A+!
Very good food and great service. The sweet old cars are a nice touch. -The women's restroom was white water. Apparently they're working on the pipes.
What a great place! Unique and the food was spectacular. The staff was attentive and kind. Definitely worth it!
Had a lunch break in the area and found this barbecue place. I was surprised it was in a car dealership. I ordered a BLT with a side of onion rings. I was surprised of the portion size and the flavor. I definitely recommend this place
What an absolute hidden gem in Fillmore! While most people find themselves Runnin to Bunnin on the weekend to check out cars I’ll be running for some amazing BBQ! This fun family friendly restaurant is located in the center of the car dealership right next to a display of unique and colorful vintage cars. Don’t be fooled by their unassuming exterior, this restaurant is serving some of the best BBQ I’ve had in Ventura County! We shared a variety of foods including the BBQ sampler, a small Mac & cheese and the fried chicken sandwich. While my husband couldn’t get enough of the variety of meats and plethora of BBQ sauces to try, I found myself going back for more and more bites of the fried chicken sandwich. Not like most other fried chicken sandwiches this thin and super tender chicken patty was enveloped in the perfect crispy batter. Served on a buttery brioche bun with a chipotle coleslaw slaw? I couldn’t get enough! From the food to the great customer service this place has easily become one of our new regular spots. So happy we stopped in on a random heat wave Saturday. Highly recommend taking your family and friends to check out this unique spot, you won’t regret it!
Never knew about this place & glad I did. Really good food. I had the brisket and it was soo amazingly delicious . 💯 I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone to go. Top of all you have beautiful new & classic cars.
The brisket was the absolute best Ive ever had! I ordered the combo plate with brisket, tri tip, and steak. Everything tasted absolutely amazing and the brisket was the standout. The owner was very nice and you can tell he puts so much love into this restaurant. He spends long hours prepping the food and making sure the food has quality. All that effort and time translates into the flavor of the food. I’ve recommended r+q to multiple people since Ive tried it!
Tried R&Q Kitchen for the first time and was really impressed. It’s located inside Bunnin Chevrolet, which makes it a bit of a hidden gem. Had a crisp, cold Romaine/Caesar-style salad with homemade Thousand Island dressing—fresh and delicious. The staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and the breakfast menu looks great. Definitely will be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
