Highly Recommend for BBQ!

We went to two BBQ tastings about a year out from our wedding and Dead End was hands down the best. The presentation at the tasting was top notch and everything following was great! They were extremely easy to work with and very communicative throughout. The food at our wedding was DELICIOUS and we got so many compliments from guests. Additionally, the servers were very attentive with cleaning up cleared plates. I would highly recommend Dead End for anyone wanting delicious BBQ at their wedding!

The best Barbecue food!

We loved their food. Everybody has been still talking about how good their food was. It was perfect for a rustic barn wedding. The staff was so friendly and easy to work with.
