About Rob-a-Que BBQ Restaurant
Rob-a-Que was started by Rob Bailey in 2011 as a Professional BBQ Competition Team and later began catering after leaving his family business of 29 years.
In September of 2012, Rob leased a building at 4712 Pinewood and built out a full catering kitchen and in March of 2013 started offering carry-out lunches.
With the opening of the new Rob-a-Que BBQ Restaurant, the Pinewood location will stop serving lunches, but will operate as a commissary and catering facility.
