I'm not one to write reviews...

We couldn't have made a better choice with City BBQ for our wedding food! During our first meeting with Veneisha, you could immediately tell she was an authentic individual. She is truly one of the reasons why we trusted her with our day! Her communication was timely, clear, and thoughtful — every question we had was answered quickly, and she made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free.

On the big day, the team showed up early, fully prepared, and completely professional. They worked seamlessly with our venue and other vendors, and their setup was absolutely beautiful — rustic and elegant.
Now, let’s talk about the food. At the tasting, we had difficulties deciding what to serve our guests because we LOVED everything. The smoked brisket was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the pulled pork had just the right amount of kick, and the sides? Don’t even get me started on the mac and cheese and cornbread pudding — they were next-level delicious. We had a guest born and raised in Louisiana, and almost cried when having the green beans because they brought her back home! Our guests are still talking about it a month later. We debated on what it would be like to challenge the ‘status quo’ of traditional wedding food, and are so glad that we did. It was so worth it.

Every single team member went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of with a smile. The food was always hot and stocked promptly. You could feel the passion and pride in every interaction. Jadia, Avion, Sharnice, Katty, Jasmine, Lourie and Janice, we are so grateful you were with us on our day! We invited them to enjoy the wedding dancefloor and these ladies DELIVERED (not only our food) but incredible energy and amazing vibes.

If you want your wedding to be filled with warmth, flavor, and fantastic service, look no further. We are beyond grateful to City BBQ for making our wedding so memorable. Thank you again to Veneisha and the entire team, we cannot recommend your services enough!

Highly Recommend!

City BBQ was an absolute dream to work with, thanks to Veneisha. From the first point of contact, throughout the planning, and at the wedding itself, she was so friendly, communicative, and thoughtful. We were lucky to have Veneisha at the wedding to ensure everything ran smoothly and she even brought an assortment of food to our table so my husband and I could have a quiet moment to ourselves. The food was delicious and I still hear compliments from our wedding guests about it. The presentation was lovely, the buffet lines ran smoothly, and everything was so well-organized. We cannot recommend City BBQ enough!

This Should Be Your Caterer

City BBQ is the best BBQ we've ever had. From our first tasting to wedding night, City BBQ was nothing but amazing in every aspect. Always responsive. Easy to work with. More than competitive pricing. Friendly staff. Tremendous food. The brisket sliced on location is so good. We received many positive comments about the food and presentation from guests. We highly recommend you use City BBQ if you are considering BBQ for your event. And make sure you get the peach cobbler and homemade whipped cream!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
