An import to Santa Clarita, these Hawaaiian culinary classics can be enjoyed authentically - or, like in the case of Q & Q's ever-popular Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sandwich - with a mainland twist. Perfect for spring, Q & Q Hawaiian BBQ has crafted a wide, affordable variety of catering options that can provide your home, office or on-site event with convenient, delicious meals.
