“ Food is delicious! They use US Wellness meats, which was a cool surprise. Pulled pork awesome, the Brussels were sweet and essentially candied but still Brussels. Good price on beers as well. ”
“ Such an awesome place to get amazing food. The service and food is wonderful. I can't get over how quickly you can get your meal. I eat there at least a couple of times a week. I love that they change up the menu monthly while keeping a couple of their signature items on the menu each month. You need to give them a try! You won't regret it! ”
“ Tried the pulled pork sandwich, the bowl, Brussel sprouts, fried pickles and the tater bombs. Everything was good and well seasoned also the slaw on the pulled pork was the best slaw I’ve ever had. I also loved how the owner checked in on everyone and made sure they were doing good. Very attentive and the food comes out fast. 10/10 recommend ”
“ If you're anywhere near Quincy and not eating at Platt Daddy BBQ... you're missing out on a divine smoke-infused blessing. From the moment you walk in, the smell alone wraps you in a warm, smoky hug and whispers, "You're home now." The brisket? Tender, juicy, with that perfect bark that says the pitmaster knows what he’s doing. The ribs fall off the bone like they’re trying to make your life easier. And don’t even get me started on the burnt ends—crispy, sweet, savory little cubes of BBQ heaven. The sides deserve their own spotlight too. The mac & cheese is creamy, cheesy soul-comfort. And the cornbread? Let’s just say if it were socially acceptable to write love poems to food, I’d start with that. Friendly staff, fast service, and the kind of food that makes you want to high-five a stranger. Platt Daddy BBQ doesn’t just serve a meal—it delivers an experience. Consider me a loyal fan for life! ”
“ At Platt Daddy Barbecue for the first time since they opened their expanded area. Love the atmosphere and roominess. The play area for children is ideal! Parents will love it and, of course, the kids! Food was delicious as usual! Love the monthly change in menu that enables you to try a variety of food! I’m gluten free and never have an issue finding something great to eat! Staff is the friendliest and helpful! ”
“ The amazing classic pulled pork sandwich! Simple and perfect. I literally dream about these glazed brussel sprouts. I had to get back to the office but the open garage door was really tempting to sit and relax. ”
“ I have been to this restaurant several times over the last two years and have always been extremely happy with everything. The service is great, the staff are happy and smiling, and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs, and the owner(s) are always around to make sure that you have everything that you need and are enjoying the food and your overall experience. I like that the menu changes every month except for a few fan-favorite dishes that are staples every month. The owners, take pride in their food and their business and you can genuinely tell that they are passionate about barbecue And creating an environment that people will keep coming back to time and time again. I highly recommend this place!!! ”
