Live Wood-Fired BBQ & Soul Food for Kansas City Corporate Events
816 Smoked Que welcomes opportunities throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area for corporate events, employee-appreciation programs, company celebrations, workforce meals and recurring food-service programs.
This is more than simply bringing prepared food to your property. Our Live BBQ Experience brings our commercial food trailer, smoker and wood-fired BBQ operation directly to your location.
Employees can experience the aroma of real wood smoke, see the BBQ operation in action and enjoy wood-fired Kansas City BBQ & soul food served on-site.
We Cook With Wood Logs — The Smoke Tells the Story.
Your employees don't just receive a meal. They experience the fire, aroma, atmosphere and flavor of BBQ being prepared on-site.
More Than a Food Truck Visit
The 816 Smoked Que Live BBQ Experience is designed to create an experience around the meal.
Rather than simply arriving with prepared food, we can bring the smoker and BBQ operation on-site and create an environment where employees can smell the wood fire and experience authentic Kansas City BBQ & soul food.

This advance coordination helps us prepare the property for a smooth Live BBQ Experience.
