Fatbacks Bbq

Fatbacks is hands down the best BBQ you're going to find in Quincy and the surrounding area. This family-owned small business never fails to impress with fresh, delicious food served in generous portions by an incredible staff. Whether you're going with a meat platter or a sandwich, you're getting a decadent offering of succulent BBQ. If you leave hungry, you (somehow) did it wrong. A dining destination for sure!

Unbelievably poor customer service. For the LAST time I've called and placed an order, waited their suggested 20 minutes (or sometimes considerably more!), then when arriving to pickup my order I'm told "oh, we're out of that". Never a call back to let me know without wasting my time waiting for the order to be prepared. Never an apology of any type. Never any attempt to make it right. This has happened repeatedly - probably 5 or 6 times now. The food _IS_ good, that's why I kept giving them "another" chance. I like to try to support the local guy, but enough is enough.

Nice home town BBQ. Staff was friendly and easily ordered at the counter for 1st time customer. Had the fat back sandwich. BBQ pork with slaw. Very good but a bit soggy bottom bun. Mac and cheese was well seasoned. Fair price. Pickle spear could be better. Overall nice place. Will be back to try more.

Had a slab the prices are fair, middle of the road. Same can be said for the ribs. Not bad mind you but nothing you are going to write home about. Now the sides are hit and miss. Some are better than others. I wasn't impressed with the beans, the potato salad was spot on. Now the best thing was the cornbread. Oh my gosh that's worth the trip. I even got a corner piece and it was still the best thing on my plate. I did like their sweet heat sauce as well. The dry rub rack I got needed the sauce. If you enjoy BBQ as much as I do then you know as well, that when you have to keep reaching for the sauce it's not the best BBQ. It was kind of tough to chew as well. Now the real question would I go back? Yes I would return and I'd even suggest you try it. For the area (that's within a 50 mile radius) this is the best around. You would have to make a trip to Saint Louis or Kansas City to get better BBQ.

Got ribs, brisket, burnt ends, green beans, baked beans and corn bread. The ribs were excellent, ranking right up there with the best I've ever had. The burnt ends and brisket were good but nowhere near the best I've had. The green beans and baked beans seemed to me to be canned (I'm not certain of this, however.) but both were doctored up nicely and I liked them both. The cornbread was a nice extra I hadn't been expecting and it was excellent. I was disappointed after driving 1-1/2 hours to find the dinning room was closed and the drive thru was my only option. As such, I was going to have to eat in my car so I asked for extra napkins. I got one single moist towlet and had to stop by Wendy's for napkins. My least favorite part of my Fatbacks BBQ adventure was being asked for a gratuity at a drive thru window. If I want to tip at a drive thru I will, but don't ask! If I was passing by I would stop by for more of those ribs but I wouldn't drive 3 hours r/t again. If I was ratting my Fatbacks BBQ adventure on the food alone I would probably give it 4.5 stars.

Very good and my large pork sandwich was huge! My only complaint is we received a small container of sauce each and because the sandwich was so large it wasn't nearly enough sauce. My husband had to pay for two more Very small containers of bbq sauce. As much as we love the BBQ it makes me not want to return.
