City bbq is the way to go!

Honestly, I typically don’t leave reviews but I will for City BBQ! From the very start, Veneisha made our decision SO easy. She was so sweet and very professional! She helped us decide the best set up for our backyard wedding & the caterers we’re just beyond great themselves. The food… oh myyyy! Our guests continue to talk about the food a month later. If you are unsure, just do it!! They will not disappoint. Thank you, City BBQ, Veneisha & the team. Y’all are truly amazing.

15/10 Experience

We were SO happy with our experience with City BBQ. Veneisha was incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative throughout the whole planning process. She answered all of our questions quickly and made everything easy. On the day of, the City BBQ team was amazing. The room turnarounds were quick, the service was fast, and they were constantly asking us if we needed anything. The food was SO GOOD and we heard from most of our guests that it was the best wedding food they ever had, and I agreed! Also couldn't beat the price. I would highly highly recommend them!

Tastiest food you can find for a wedding!

We had two requirements when trying to choose a caterer for our wedding: We wanted buffet style BBQ, and we wanted it to be guaranteed that none of our guests would go home hungry.

From our initial tasting and consultation, Veneisha worked with us continuously to put together the perfect menu for us. In the months leading up to our wedding day, we had
multiple changes and alterations to the menu (like adding vegetarian and vegan options, for example) and these were updated for us instantly each time.

Everything at City BBQ is honestly so good that we had a hard time just choosing just a few entrees and sides. Veneisha provided honest advice for us to help us choose and ensure that all of our guests would enjoy the dinner. No one went home hungry and the staff even provided take home containers for our guests to take
whatever was left. Last, and most important, the food is some of the best BBQ you can find in the city!
