GottaQ wears national BBQ crown
Cumberland’s GottaQ Smokehouse BBQ earns title of the ‘Best Food Truck BBQ in America’
CUMBERLAND — GottaQ Smokehouse BBQ, based in Cumberland, is thrilled to announce that they’ve been awarded first place in Mobile Cuisine’s national Best Food Truck BBQ contest.
Their authentic, wood-smoked barbecue is served up on two food trucks, a BBQ trailer and a mobile smoker, as well as two brick and mortar locations, and a successful catering business. After placing third in the annual contest three years in a row, GottaQ has proven that they are a BBQ force to be reckoned with nationally.
“Every year we’ve progressively grown and grown, but this year we exploded,” said Anthony Mardenly, GottaQ’s director of food and beverage. “Once we found out we won, it was almost just euphoria. Our emotions started to run haywire and everything felt a little surreal.”
“We feel that as long as we keep our quality up, keep our customer service up, keep our staff happy, and keep moving forward, that there’s never a time when we shouldn’t be number one,” said owner Michael Strout. “I was literally in tears.”
In addition to GottaQ’s two brick and mortar locations, you can find the Q-Crew out and about on one of their food trucks, with their Festival BBQ trailer and soon from a new mobile smoker. Enjoy lunch in downtown Providence at Kennedy Plaza every Tuesday and Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., or check them out at Food Truck Friday at Roger Williams Park Carousel Village every Friday night starting at 5 p.m. You can also find GottaQ serving at special events and festivals by following them on social media.
