About DrewbaQ Food Truck & Smoke Shack

DrewbaQ Food Truck & Smoke Shack is located at 7146 Main St, Trumbull, CT 06611, USA. Despite the platform category listing of "Chinese Restaurant," DrewbaQ specializes in BBQ cuisine, operating as a food truck and smoke shack.

Recent customer reviews present a mixed perspective on the food quality at DrewbaQ. One customer who ordered brisket, mac and cheese, and fries found the brisket to have a briny, corned flavor, lacking a thorough smoke and bark, possibly with store-bought BBQ sauce. While noting the brisket was tender and juicy, it did not meet their expectation of a "smoke house" flavor. The mac and cheese was described as similar to institutional versions, enjoyed by a child but not by adults. The fries were deemed poor quality, with the reviewer suggesting the fry oil might have been old.

Another customer who ordered a brisket sandwich also expressed disappointment. They found the roll to be not fresh, the brisket unremarkable, and the accompanying cold mac and cheese to be only "not that bad." For the $15 price, they expected a side dish. This reviewer felt the sandwich consisted of a stale roll with brisket and mediocre BBQ sauce, topped with a scoop of cold mac and cheese.

Despite the negative feedback on the food, both reviewers commended the pleasant reception received over the phone and in person, giving the employees an "A+" for their service. However, both reviewers ultimately felt that the food was not worth the price paid and expressed being "bummed out" and "very disappointed" with their meals.

In summary, DrewbaQ Food Truck & Smoke Shack in Trumbull, CT, is a BBQ establishment where customers have reported issues with the quality and preparation of items like brisket, mac and cheese, and fries, as well as the freshness of sandwich components. While the customer service has been praised, the food itself has not consistently met expectations based on recent reviews. For orders or inquiries, DrewbaQ can be contacted at (203) 880-5197 or +1 203-880-5197.

It's super bowl Sunday. Just got home to eat what my wife and I ordered. Brisket, Mac and cheese, fries. Hard to explain what's going on here... here's my best description of the food though. -Brisket, very briney/corned flavor. Not smoked thoroughly, or at all? No bark either, just a little crisp from bbq basting under a broil. Store bought bbq sauce (we think?) However, very tender and juicy. Not a "smoke house" flavor though, which is what you'd expect. - Mac and cheese.. I'll quote my 5 year old daughter... "It's just like the one at school!" She loved it lol. My wife and I not so much. It's the same flavor profile as a longhorn, chili's, outback. Plain, manufactured. - Fries. Ended up going out to the racoons in the backyard, no joke. Again, store bought variety and I've worked in enough restaurants to know the smell and taste of 2-3 week old fry oil. Yuck. The reception over the phone, and in person was very pleasant though. Employees get an A+. Not worth my $45+ dollars. Bummed out. Haven't had BBQ in a while, and this place was close. Might try again? Bad timing??

People were nice, but the brisket sandwhich wasn’t great at all and not cheap to say the least. Very disappointed. Had high hopes. The roll definitely wasn’t fresh and the Mac and cheese that came on the sandwhich was cold. I also didn’t think the brisket was anything special. For $15 I also expected a side of some sort to come with it. Literally all I got was a not fresh roll with a couple slices of brisket slathered in a mediocre bbq sauce and an ice cream scoop of cold Mac n cheese. I’m giving 2 stars because I feel bad and the mac n cheese wasn’t that bad. Just wish it was warm.

Finally good local BBQ! Saw the truck out front and decided to drop in and give it a try and was not disappointed. Tried the “beefed up brisket” and the meat was on point. Can’t wait to try more. The owner Drew is local and very friendly. Opened to support to the food truck but I bet more people will be stopping by for a quick bite.

Don't let the appearance fool you, this place is fantastic! The bark on the brisket was amazing and the sauce was simple and seasoned very well. The BBQ fries were very well balanced and executed very well. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it more than makes up for it in flavor. I'll be excited to come back next time I'm in the area.
