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!! ❤️❤️

Couldn't be Happier!!
We couldn't have been more happier with the service to the food. Abbey was unbelievable to work with for our day. Her response time was on point and the touch to details and last minute changes made our food planning stress free. We had multiple guests that have never had City BBQ before that are now customers for life. Also, the portions of meats and sides per guest was for sure more than others caterers. 100% happy!

Best catering experience on my wedding
Abbey and her team made this catering experience so smooth and wonderful. I have always loved city bbq but after my wedding I do even more. I live in New York currently but had my wedding in Ohio. Abbey made it so easy planning my out of state wedding. At the tasting I had car problems ans was a little late as a result, but she was so kind and made us feel so special when I arrived. City BBQ was truly some of the best catering I’ve ever had at an event. The caterers that night were Sheri and Henry. They were so kind and the food they served was incredible. I’ve been to a lot of events for work where food is catered but this is truly the best I’ve had. I had guests from all over the country and some even from Italy. All the guests keep complementing how good the food was. Definitely book with City Bbq for all your catering needs. You will love it. 😄Thanks Abbey, Sheri and Henry.
