City BBQ is the BEST bbq catering around!!

We couldn’t be more happy that we chose City BBQ for our catering! Abbey and her team made us feel so special from our first tasting!! We were expecting a “taste” of food and instead enjoyed a whole feast of every item they served and had enough to bring leftovers home! Abbey was always phenomenal with communication even reminding me when I forgot to fill out forms (type B bride here for sure 😭). We got SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on our food! Everyone was served quickly at dinner service and there was more than enough to feed our large families and even had some leftovers! We ended up using city BBQ lemonade for our signature drink-vodka lemonades- and our guests LOVED it! I cannot recommend City BBQ enough!! ❤️❤️

Fantastic!

They were so professional but what really set them apart was the extra thoughtfulness. They even went as far as to provide us a “honeymoon package” because they knew the bride and groom don’t usually have the chance to eat a lot - it was so sweet and a lifesaver saver!!!

Stephens Wedding

This was our first time ordering catering for an event which happened to be our wedding. From start to finish it was the easiest process in the world going from the tasting all the way to the late night snack at the end of the night. We were both very pleased with the service

Amazing Catering by Abbey

We first met Abbey at our tasting for our wedding. City bbq was the very first vendor for us to try and we were BLOWN away. Not only was all of the food absolutely delicious but Abbey was so kind, smart, professional and kind. At out wedding day she made sure everything ran smoothly, her and her team jumped in to help with set up and created a memorable beautiful experience for us. Our guests RAVED about the food. Everything was perfect!

This Food was Stellar!

Christina, Makayla, Robynn, and Melanie were my catering staff and they were wonderful! Not only did they serve the food promptly, they also sliced and served the cake! I will say they did take longer than expected to serve the cake but that was extremely minor. I had several guests saying that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We had the smoked turkey (THIS was the star of the whole thing!!!!!!!!), pulled pork, mac and cheese, smashed potatoes, baked beans with brisket, coleslaw, and corn bread. They also had sauces out with buns for everyone. They provided the tables, linens, china, silverware, napkins. They packaged the leftovers at the end and they cleaned the venue kitchen leaving it just as they found it, which made everything a lot easier on me as it was mine and my husband's responsibility to clean the venue the next day! It was definitely worth the money! Highly recommend!

Stahler/Borell Wedding

From the start, our tasting experience was amazing. Abbey made us feel super comfortable and was easy to communicate with. On top of that, she was quick at responding but did not pressure us in any way, shape or form. For the day of, the catering staff was incredibly friendly and they set everything up with ease. The food was hot and delicious, I got numerous compliments on it! Overall it was a 10/10 experience.
