For Robert “Bam” Everson, barbecue has never been just about food; it’s about connection. As the founder of Queen Creek BBQ, Bam has built his business around the belief that great flavors bring people together.
“BBQ is more than just food; it’s a celebration of flavor and community,” he says. “The process of slow-cooking meats and crafting untraditional BBQ dishes allows me to connect with people through their love for great food, and I wanted to share that passion with others.”
Bam’s journey in the food world began over a decade ago, running food trucks and catering services before laying down roots in Queen Creek. While the long hours and challenges of running a business are familiar territory, he says it’s the smiles and laughter around the table that make it all worth it. “The most rewarding part has been creating a welcoming space where families and friends can gather to enjoy delicious BBQ,” Bam explains. “Seeing the smiles on our customers' faces as they share meals and moments is what keeps me motivated every day.”
That spirit of community shines through in Queen Creek BBQ’s menu, where classic comfort meets bold, flavorful twists. Guests can dig into hearty BBQ platters stacked with tender brisket, creamy mac and cheese, smoky beans, and buttery Texas toast. For those craving something more adventurous, Bam serves up BBQ nachos and a loaded BBQ potato, piled high with savory toppings, tangy sauce, and a kick of jalapeños. And no meal is complete without dessert: their peach cobbler and banana pudding bring the perfect sweet ending, each bite packed with homemade charm.
“I hope to bring a true taste of authentic BBQ to the people of QC, along with a sense of community where everyone feels at home,” Bam says. With his love for flavor and hospitality, Queen Creek BBQ is a gathering place built on good food and even better company.
