Just Q'in BBQ | Our Story

Faith, love, and BBQ from a $150 grill

Faith, love, and BBQ from a $150 grill

Just Q'in BBQ started with a humble grill, a College Hill neighborhood, and an unshakeable conviction that whatever you do, you do it to the glory of God — 1 Corinthians 10:31. Everything we've built since flows from that.
How we started

How we started

We fired up that grill with more faith than equipment and more love than experience. It wasn't a business plan — it was a calling, and we answered it.
The craft we're committed to

The craft we're committed to

Cherry and sugar maple wood. All wood-burning smokers, fresh meat every day, scratch-made sides, house-made rubs and sauces. Our pastrami landed us on the Cooking Channel's Food Paradise — none of it by cutting corners.
People are the point
