Chef McKenna opened the doors of Lillie´s Q in July 2010 after honing his skills at top restaurants in Miami, New York and Chicago. Named for his Grandmother Lillie, who taught him the art of southern cooking back home in Greenville, SC, Lillie´s Q serves up award winning barbeque in a contemporary setting. The menu offers elevated southern favorites and sides like shrimp & grits, low country boil, fried pickles, boiled peanuts, Brunswick stew, baked beans, and Grandma Lillie´s famous banana pudding. They have a full line of BBQ sauces and rubs that are avilable for purchase. I was recently sent some to review.

Review:
Lillie’s Q BBQ is super unique and taste fantastic, I am a bit of a BBQ freak so I had a blast trying their products. My favorite was smokey and find their BBQ sauce to be affordable and very fresh tasting!
If you are ever in Chicago, Illinois,Miramar Beach, Florida or Brea, California I highly recommend visiting their restaurants!
