About Us

Our Story

Fueled by Passion, Served with Smoke

Our journey began not in a trailer, but in our own backyard—firing up the smoker, gathering friends and family, and sharing food that made people smile. That love for BBQ never faded. Instead, it grew. Over the years, we honed our skills, refined our recipes, and built a dream: to turn our family’s tradition into something that could reach the wider community.

The Q BBQ was born from this dream. More than just a food truck, it’s an extension of our kitchen and our hearts. We serve smoked meats that fall apart with tenderness, sides fried in beef tallow for rich flavor, and sauces and slaws made fresh with every batch. From casual street service to full-scale BBQ catering in Pasco, Hernando and Hillsborough County, we bring our craft wherever it’s needed—festivals, government centers, hospitals, neighborhoods, and private events. We serve food that tells a story, one slow-cooked bite at a time.

Our Mission

At the core of The Q BBQ is one clear mission: to make people happy with great food. We believe that food is more than fuel—it’s connection, comfort, and culture. That’s why we don’t rush our process. Every rib, pulled pork butt, and chicken quarter is treated with care, smoked patiently over hours to lock in deep flavor. Every taco is assembled with balance in mind—savory meats, vibrant slaws, handcrafted sauces.

We serve dishes designed to turn a regular lunch break into something memorable. Whether it’s our rich mac ‘n cheese, loaded cilantro lime nachos, or our signature smoked pulled pork dinner in Hillsborough, Hernando and Pasco County, our mission is to give people a break from the ordinary. We want to nourish your day and brighten your mood—one plate, one person, one smile at a time.

Our Vision

As we grow, our vision is to be widely recognized for serving the best BBQ food in Tampa Bay—not just from a taste perspective, but for the heart and consistency we bring with every service. We see ourselves expanding not only in territory but in impact. We want to build lasting connections with neighborhoods, businesses, and community groups, becoming the go-to BBQ for birthdays, corporate lunches, weekend cravings, and everything in between.

With a constantly evolving and crowd-favorite BBQ food trailer menu in Tampa Bay, we’re excited to explore new ways to bring our food closer to you. From enhancing our eco-friendly practices to refining our seasonal specials, we aim to continue innovating while honoring the traditions that made us who we are. We envision a future where every county knows our name and every customer feels like part of our extended family.
