Old Carolina was amazing as our caterer for our October wedding. Rocco was very responsive, helpful and really helped our reception run smoothly. We had a few strange requests and they made sure that we got everything we want.
They are so well known in the area for their outstanding food, and I cannot tell you how much of a value they are for catering. We were given so many compliment on their food and service from our guests. Thank you for everything!!

We recently got married on 9-22-12. The food was amazing. EVERYONE said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. I couldn't agree more with them. The staff was amazing. Lesileann was the best person we've ever dealt with. She was very friendly and was there when we had any questions. If you're looking for awesome food, great service, and actually a someone to be there for all the steps along the way then choose OCBBQ!!!!

We are very pleased with our catering from OCBC. Our wedding was at Hale Farm, and we chose family style service. The food was fresh, plentiful, and absolutely delicious. The entire staff was efficient and courteous. Throughout the planning, we dealt with Leslianne. She was a pleasure to work with, and extremely responsive and helpful. OCBC offers an excellent value and the highest quality of service.

They were great! The initial meeting was very quick and easy. They catered my rehearsal dinner. They had a staff that set up and took all their stuff down. They boxed all the leftovers up for us too. It was easy. I didn't have to do anything. They even brought their own tables for the buffet. Very professional people.

We decided to have a dinner/reception at our home, after returning home from getting married in Hawaii. Everyone LOVED the food and was perfect for our Hawaiian themed reception.

I loved this company, but I think someone who is more particular about specifics would not have been as happy. Their food is delicious, and they were ready on time. However, the service on site wasn't fantastic, and they didn't know they were cutting my cake... even though it was in the contract. Because of that, they didn't have the staff necessary and we had to cut it ourselves (well, a couple of my experienced family members did). They also couldn't tell us any specific allergy information-- which I know they have posted in their menu and website, so...? These weren't huge problems, and overall I was happy with the value of the food, but I wouldn't recommend them to someone looking for the "whole package"

Old Caroline Barbecue exceeded our expectations on every level. Leslie was very helpful during the planning stages. She answered every question quickly and clearly. Their catering services are very inexpensive compared to other wedding caterers, and we were able to take left over food home (other caterers we checked out, we wouldn't have been allowed to take it home- which would have been silly since we would have been paying so much money for all that food.) I have an allergy to milk, so the company bent over backwards for me. They looked at every ingredient used for everything. They asked for a list of "safe" milk-free butters, went out and bought the butter themselves, and used it on the green beans for me instead of their butter they use at the restaurants. When they arrived at the reception, they informed me that they were able to make the mashed potatoes without milk also, so I was able to enjoy those. We never even talked about making the potatoes without milk. It wasn't even supposed to be possible. So for them to tell me that on my wedding day, I could eat it, blew me away. It was an amazing surprise. The potatoes tasted wonderful- EVERYone loved them! I can't say enough about OCB and their services. It was outstanding. I definitely recommend them to any and every bride. You'll get so much more than what you pay for and everyone will tell you how much they love and enjoy the food!

I had been working with Rocco since January to plan our October wedding reception. He was always very professional and prompt to respond. I especially appreciate his willingness to communicate via email instead of phone calls, and they way he sent me an updated quote every time we changed the order even slightly.
We had about 200 guests at our wedding reception. Old Carolina provided some light appetizers, pulled pork, chicken, mashed potatoes, baked beans, salad, and grilled veggie pasta salad (which isn't on their regular menu, but was fantastic and I highly recommend). Our total catering bill came out to about $18-19 per person, which I think is a great value. We got lots of compliments on the food, and had no trouble giving away the leftovers the next day. Other things that I liked about working with Old Carolina: they accept credit card payment without an additional charge, their policy on gratuity is that they pay their servers well already so it is not necessary, there were no hidden fees or additional "service charges," they bring absolutely everything with them and even haul away the trash. We literally had to supply them with nothing more than space to set up. I also felt more confidence hiring a catering company that also runs a restaurant. I feel that their food quality is more predictable, and they are more motivated to provide good service to our guests because they have a reputation to uphold.

We were very happy with the food and the service. Leslianne is great to work with, and all the servers were very attentive and friendly. The food was brought to the tables quickly, and it arrived hot and fresh. I appreciate that they do not automatically add in the gratuity; they are motivated to provide good service to earn their tip. Great value.

Our experience with Old Carolina couldn't have been any better. Rocco was amazig to work with. He was able to get answers right away. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The guests are still talking about the food. My husband really wanted Prime Rib and Rocco was more than happy to provide it for the head table. It was absolutly perfect. My husband was so excited. We are so greatful for all the hard work and patience. Thank you, Rocco and staff!!

Ordered food for a rehearsal dinner from their catering menu. Food was delicious and good quality. Ordered well in advance ( 3 weeks but they only require several days) due to having our event during the Memorial day weekend. Slightly disappointed that staff was discouraging me to have food delivered because of the holiday. Made arrangements to have friends pick up our order while I needed to be at the rehearsal. Would have liked a little more flexibility in making size selections for our needs but otherwise everything was very nice.
