At Curly Q BBQ, we believe that great barbecue is more than just food – it’s an experience that brings people together. Our journey began in a backyard smoker, where our founder discovered the perfect balance of traditional smoking techniques and modern culinary excellence.
We use premium hardwoods and time-honored smoking methods to create authentic barbecue flavor. Every piece of meat is carefully selected, expertly seasoned, and slow-smoked to perfection over 12-16 hours.
From our signature dry rubs to our house-made BBQ sauces, we prepare everything in-house to ensure quality and consistency in every bite. Our recipes have been perfected over years of experimentation and community feedback.
