This expansion aims to bring the restaurant’s award-winning barbecue directly to homes and offices, with a special focus on gluten-free diners, who now have even more reason to celebrate.

In addition to the launch, ZZQ Smokehouse has earned top regional recognition for its gluten-free offerings on Find Me Gluten Free, cementing its reputation as one of the most inclusive BBQ destinations in the Twin Cities area.
