If you're hunting down bold flavors, tender meats, and the kind of smoky aroma that hits you before you even spot the truck Heavenly BBQ is your new go-to BBQ fix. From the moment I pulled up, the smell of slow-smoke rib tips and chicken drew a small but eager crowd. The menu isn't massive, but every item is clearly made with care. - Melinda

Heavenly BarBQ brought their food truck to our neighborhood and we thoroughly enjoyed their food. The rib tips were a big hit!! I had their smoked chicken salad which was very good and plentiful…I had enough for a second meal. The service was great and everyone was courteous and responsive. We would love to have them back.
