Brisket and Beans Brought to You by Barbie's Q

I love when food trucks visit my neighborhood. I'm too lazy to track them on Twitter, but I'm not too lazy to run down the street if I happen to see them nearby.

Barbie's Q is barbecue on wheels. The menu is simple.

"Q" Sampler -- pulled pork, BBQ beef, and smoked chicken served with your choice of Barbie's homemade side dishes ($8).

This was a good way to try several meats in one dish. I chose barbecued beans as my side, which were excellent. Surprisingly, I liked the chicken the most. Pork came in second, and beef was a more distant third. The chicken was extremely tender, juicy, and flavorful.

Cheesy Grits ($4).

Don't let the plastic-lid-flattened top fool you. These grits were pretty tasty.

Mac & Jack ($4).

Very good. Quite cheesy. Not mushy. Thumbs up.

Peach cobbler ($4).

Nice sweet end.

Barbie's Q didn't inspire me to start tracking trucks, but I'm happy to have spotted it and liked my mobile meal.

We just started getting food trucks down here (well other than the taco trucks we already have). Very exciting.

i'm really not a huge BBQ fan, but i dig sides like mac & cheese.

at least you GET food trucks. out here in "the middle of nowhere" we're lucky to have ice cream trucks.

I really enjoy their food, and you can't help but love the Barbie's Q guys. They're adorable.

this lazy non-tracker got to try some of her friends' food from barbie's q. yum. but i think i'd rather just get takeout from spring street smokehouse instead of tracking a truck. lazy.

Haven't heard of this one! Love the logo. :P

If a food truck pulled up down the street from me I think I might die of excitement.

I've seen that truck at my workplace. Nice to know it's good. The Smokehouse also comes around but it sucks. lol

i can't keep track of all these trucks. now that you've pointed barbie's q out, i will have to look for it...in a very passive, not hunting down for it kind of way.

Mmmmmm! We have a local, weekend only bbq place that sets up shop in the parking lot of a gas station that we've yet to try. This reminded me that it's on our list.

ha! instead of driving an icecream truck like i did the summer of my 1st year at college, i should have driven the Julie/Barbie Q Truck! I am fascinated by this.
