About

Since 2017, our mission has been simple: to serve the best barbecue around, made with love and served with gratitude. Every day, we slow-smoke our meats in-house and handcraft our sides using fresh, local ingredients.

Eight years ago, we purchased The Q Shack and proudly continued its tradition of serving slow-smoked barbecue to this amazing community. After 18 years under that name, we felt it was time for a change. We wanted something that better reflects the people at the heart of what we do: our customers, our team, and our family.

Hickory & Heart represents that evolution.

This new name marks the next chapter in our journey. It's rooted in the same values that brought us here. We remain just as committed to good food, genuine service, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

Stop by and say hello. We'd love to meet you or welcome you back.

Delicious!

Dan was the best! So easy to work with and all the guests LOVED the food! I’ve already had a few guests tell me that they’ve already ordered from there since my wedding!

Amazing food!

Dan and his team were incredible! Everything from the appetizers to the ribs and mac and cheese were fresh and delicious. Wedding days are so stressful and from the minute we met Dan we knew that we wouldn't have to worry about the food or service. He was amazing to plan with and delivered above and beyond our expectations!

Can't recommend enough!

Seriously, I can't recommend Dan Shane and his team at The Q Shack enough! Not only was the catering for our wedding affordable but we had no worries at all. Dan made sure all our questions were answered and set everything up. His team is top-notch! Everyone could not stop raving about how great the service was. Plus, the food was DELICIOUS! I have heard back from so many guests about how excellent all the food was, especially the brisket!! If you hire this team, you won't regret it. I promise!

Amazing! Dan and his team are awesome,They went above and beyond for our wedding, the food was delicious and all of our guests enjoyed it. It's great when you can find gluten free food that tastes so good. They even had a vegan meal option prepared for one of our family. Thank you Dan for making our wedding perfect
