Que17 Barbecue
Barbecue Built Different

Barbecue built on evidence, not assumption.

Approachable food. Uncompromising craft. Real wood. Real heat. Nothing left to chance.

Our Story

Why Que17?

Que17 Barbecue carries the name and memory of our son Bryce, who passed away at seventeen. Bryce was built different — he loved good food, real gatherings, and the moments that only happen around a fire with friends and family. We built Que17 in his honor: doing things with intention, and doing them right.

A reason to gather

That's what a fire does. It gives people something to stand around while the conversation finds its own way — by the time the food hits the table, the connection is already there.

Exceptional food, on purpose

The science and the craft exist because the food deserves to be exceptional. But exceptional food is just the beginning — what it really does is bring people face to face.

Built different

Every pop-up, every whole hog we cook is a chance for someone to make a memory with the people they love. We take that seriously.
