From backyard gatherings to a community staple.
Righteous 'Que began in the backyard of founder Patrick Verzone, where Saturday dinners for friends and church members evolved into gatherings of over 40 people. These meals weren't just about food; they fostered a sense of community among missionary volunteers, foster parents, and cancer survivors. Encouraged by the growing demand and the positive impact, Patrick transitioned from home cookouts to a full-fledged restaurant in 2012, aiming to serve with purpose while making a living.
Crafting authentic southern BBQ with heart.
At Righteous 'Que, the commitment to "low and slow" smoking techniques ensures that every meat dish—from brisket to pulled pork—is tender and flavorful. Complemented by homemade sides like mac and cheese and collard greens, the menu reflects traditional Southern comfort food. Signature items, such as the Soul Saver Sandwich loaded with pork, brisket, chicken, and bacon on Texas Toast, showcase the creativity and dedication to quality that define the restaurant.
Serving more than just meals: 'Que for a Cause.
Beyond delivering delicious food, Righteous 'Que is deeply rooted in community service. Through its "Que for a Cause" initiative, the restaurant donates a portion of its sales each month to local charities and organizations. This ongoing commitment to giving back has been integral to the restaurant's identity since its inception, reinforcing the belief that good food and good deeds go hand in hand.
