City BBQ provided outstanding catering—communication was prompt and planning effortless. The food (brisket, mac & cheese, peach cobbler) was delicious, hot, plentiful, and beautifully presented. Setup and service were professional and seamless, and staff accommodated last-minute changes. Highly recommended for weddings.

Perfect Rehearsal Dinner
We had City Barbeque cater our rehearsal dinner at Catawba Falls Events, and everything was absolutely delicious! The delivery and setup went flawlessly—they were on time and incredibly organized, which made the whole experience stress-free.
We actually ran a bit late coming back from the rehearsal and were worried the brisket and pulled pork might have dried out while waiting—but it was the complete opposite. Everything was perfectly warm, tender, and incredibly moist. You could tell a lot of care went into the food and preparation.
We couldn’t have been happier and would strongly recommend City Barbeque for any event!

Great staff, delicious food!
From our initial tasting to the day of our wedding, City BBQ was absolutely wonderful! Communication was always prompt, responsive, and effortless, making the entire process so easy. Brittany was phenomenal and truly made the experience stress-free from beginning to end. During our tasting, she made us feel so welcome, and the restaurant staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious!
On our wedding day, everything was set up seamlessly, and our waitress was incredibly pleasant and attentive to all of our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience!
I would highly recommend City BBQ to anyone looking for delicious, buffet-style BBQ catering for their special event. Thank you, Brittany, and the entire City BBQ team, for helping make our wedding day so wonderful!!

Highly Recommend!
From the very beginning of working with Brittany to creating the perfect meal for our wedding day, everything was absolutely wonderful!
Our wedding guests LOVED the food—so much that multiple guests went back for seconds and even thirds! The fan favorites were definitely the brisket and mac & cheese.
The catering team also went above and beyond to make sure my groom and I were taken care of. They made sure we had a plate before dinner service so we could actually enjoy our meal, and we even received a to-go/late-night snack box!

Seamless service and unforgettable flavor.
City BBQ was the best decision we made for our wedding food! Guests are still talking about the BBQ flavors, and mac & cheese. Everything was hot, flavorful, and plentiful and the staff handled set-up and service flawlessly!

Amazing Service, Amazing Food!
I cannot recommend City BBQ enough for catering. I hired them for my intimate wedding and they went above and beyond with answering any questions I had! Brittany was my point of contact for catering and she was so amazing to work with. I had to completely change locations for my wedding due to hurricane Helene in less than a week and Brittany was more than accommodating with my request. The food was delicious, hot and beautifully displayed and I did not have to lift a finger. If you are on the fence, book them, you will not regret it!
