Best BBQ Catering Around!

We had City BBQ cater our wedding and could not have been happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their team was a dream to work with—communicating early and often, answering all our questions, and making sure every detail was covered well in advance of the big day.

The food itself was absolutely incredible. Our guests raved about it—many even told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served right on time. The team handled setup and service seamlessly, which made everything stress-free for us.

If you’re considering City BBQ for your event, do it—you’ll be in great hands and your guests will thank you!

Above expectations

To be honest, a little nervous about going with a ‘chain’. But food and service was amazing. From the initial communication, planning, last
Minute additions by us, set up and service. All great. Guests raved!

Best Wedding Food

Amanda, Aaron, Katelin, and Constantine were all amazing to work with. Everyone at our wedding thought it was the best BBQ they had had and, for many, the best food at a wedding in general. The setup with cast iron was beautiful, and the caterers went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were well cared for. They offered plated service for anyone who was GF, though none of our people opted for that. My coworkers have enjoyed the leftovers this week too.

Catering done right

Catered our wedding and everything from set up to tear down was flawless and timely, the food was also delicious. Meat was juicy and not dry, mashed potatoes were creamy, gravy was savory, and green beans were able to be made vegetarian. The staff was friendly and checked in with guests on food and helped clear dishes. They also bagged up all the food for us at the end of the night and had an end of the night “newleyweds” meal box, a little touch that was so thoughtful.
Also from the day of booking to the wedding day communicated frequently so we had zero worries in regards to cost, expectations, schedule, etc.

City BBQ did a great job for us!

Amanda and the team at City BBQ did a great job for the food at our daughters wedding. She was very flexible with our daughter and her fiancée setting up a time for them to sample. The price was fair. The service was outstanding. The food was just as good. I would highly recommend them for your event!

Book them and never look back! S+

City Barbeque is amazing. We especially loved working with our catering specialist, Allison. She was absolutely incredible and put in a lot of time and energy for us. We probably exchanged between 70 and 100 emails over the course of my engagement and I don't think she ever replied more than 1 business day later. Allison is willing to put in the time and energy to make sure that you get what you want. Allison is also remarkably friendly and genuine. You can tell that she enjoys making her clients happy. S+ vendor.

The food at City Barbeque was absolutely amazing and many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they enjoyed it. We also thought that this restaurant provided unbelievable value in their packages. Their cancellation policy is also extremely generous (so it is no risk, but if you book them you won't want to cancel). You should definitely book City Barbeque if you are thinking about a BBQ wedding, it's honestly a no-brainer with delicious food like this coupled with astonishing service and fantastic rates.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
