Wish I could give 6 stars!

WARNING: This review is going to be long and it still won't be enough to share all the good things that we want to say. If you want the short version, here it is: HIRE No Sauce Que! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED...........


My daughter wanted a "food truck wedding". Her parents (us) envisioned a wedding that honored what she and her groom wanted but was also a bit more upscale to match the expectations of the many guests who would arrive dressed up in their best wedding attire. Qwente and his crew found the perfect balance of the two visions.


As the mother of the bride and a Type A personality, I fretted over the details of the event. I was both the mom of the bride and the wedding planner (this was my first and only wedding event to plan, so I was unsure of what would and would not work). We had a beautiful outdoor venue, so I worried about the weather, of course, but my next biggest point of stress was whether or not a food truck would be able to feed nearly 120 guests in a timely manner with food that was hot and delicious? The answer (to my relief) was a resounding YES.


Having the truck rather than a traditional caterer meant that the food was hot and fresh since it was being cooked and prepared right there on location in the truck.


Here's a snapshot of the flow of our food service experience:


After the ceremony, Q and his crew began serving appetizers. He had four of the most amazing attendants walking around offering smoked wings, seasoned shrimp, and fresh vegetable cups to our guests while the wedding party had their formal photos done. The appetizers were fabulous and I could not have asked for a better group of men; the servers were attentive, responsive, incredibly polite, and professional in their roles.


During the planning process, we shared that we wanted table service, but we did not want assigned tables, nor did we want a buffet. I realized that these could have made serving the tables a cumbersome task, but Q offered the solution of using guests order cards and it worked perfectly (just ask him about it).


Throughout every step of the process, I felt that Q was listening to what we wanted and was working to make it happen. He did not force his own "tried and true" process on us, but rather, he worked with us to create the event that we wanted. My daughter has several friends that are vegetarians so using a BBQ truck as our caterer could have been a bit tricky. We asked if he could serve a vegetarian option and we suggested buffalo cauliflower. No only did he accept the challenge of offering a vegetarian option from a BBQ truck, he experimented with the cauliflower for a month until he created a dish that he was willing to put his name on. Q offered his professional guidance throughout so no detail was overlooked.


We would not hesitate for a single second to hire No Sauce Que again for any event whether it was a backyard picnic, a corporate event, or, like our recent event, a formal wedding. Our guests, both young and old, had nothing but praise for the staff, the service provided, and the food.


Thank you Q and your crew for helping to make our event simply perfect.

Rehearsal dinner for over 100 guests...

On September 20, 2024 NO SAUCE QUE catered our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner. Since the rehearsal dinner and wedding took place at our home on the water in Ridge, MD, we had ample space to invite the entire wedding part, family, and any out-of-town guests. So, NO SAUCE QUE brought their amazing food truck down to our place and started smoking meats for over 100 guests on-site more than 5 hours before the event. The food was incredible! The brisket was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the ribs fell off the bone. They smoked chicken wings for the appetizer table along with the BBQ meats and salads served from the truck. The service was seamless, and no one had to wait in line.

NO SAUCE QUE's owner, Que Brinkley, was amazing to work with. He was incredibly accommodating and even made changes to the menu at the last minute. They served smoked chicken wings, pork ribs, beef brisket, fried rock fish (a delicious homage to Southern MD), mac & cheese, and a fresh garden salad.

I would highly recommend NO SAUCE QUE for any large or small event. Their food is amazing, they are easy to work with, and they are very professional. Don't hesitate to contact No Sauce Que for your next event – you won't be disappointed!

Best Food Experience at a Wedding Reception!!

Mr. Brinkley and the NoSauceQue have provided exceptional service since our first time trying them at their first food truck in Waldorf. When my husband, Erik, and I were thinking about caterers for our outdoor wedding reception, we knew we wanted something different. We wanted someone with dietary options and a different cuisine not traditionally served at a wedding. NoSauceQue fit the bill! Our first consultation yielded a full menu with something for our chicken eaters, pork/beef eaters, and our seafood lovers like me. My husband even requested the NoSauceQue barbecue sauce as a favor and Mr. Brinkley happily obliged. We had 2-3 more Zoom sessions before handing over to our coordinator, including clarifying emails about paperware, beverages, and those exceptional sides. The day of our reception Mr. Brinkley was there early and setup to handle our 175 guests with made to order meals. I most enjoyed the barbecue jumbo shrimp appetizer and the catfish (seafood lover!!) and my husband love all the barbecue items (smoked wings, chopped bbq, ribs). Those baked beans and baked mac and cheese sides are my weakness. Whenever he caters in the area I request them for myself. Our guests loved the food truck experience and most importantly the food and service from NoSauceQue! We even ran it back for our second baby gender reveal and our guests were in heaven. NoSauceQue has been a blessing to us and we highly recommend his services for any catering event!!

Still getting calls about how good the food was!

WOW! We had the absolute pleasure of having No Sauce Que cater our wedding November of 2023, and we are still getting calls about how amazing the food was. We opted for full service, with cooking onsite and the beverage center, which in my opinion was the only way to go.We have been to the truck many times, and my husband is a fan of the pork chop and ribs, so we opted for the brisket, with the fried fish and ribs. Baby the fish!!! The fried rockfish was the best fried fish I have ever had and guest were asking if the rockfish was a staple on the truck. My only regret is not getting to eat all of my food that night.

Best Wedding Caterer Ever!!

We had No Sauce Que cater our wedding and the experience was exceptional! Every review that we received from our guests spoke so highly of the service from the staff and the taste of the food! A huge bonus was that they provided a variety of food that catered to our requested dietary restrictions for our guests. No Sauce Que was very flexible throughout the process and offered great recommendations that helped complete our menu. The process of finding a caterer can be one of the most challenging steps in wedding planning and No Sauce Que made the process 1000x easier. I highly recommend No Sauce Que to cater your next event. You won't be disappointed!
