Fat Bob's BBQ 10/10

Fat Bob's was an easy choice for our reception! The food is incredible (& affordable!) & everyone is so kind & professional. They worked with us to make sure the food was everything we wanted, & we created the PERFECT signature cocktail & mocktail.

The best caterer!

We used Fat Bobs for our alcohol and dinner service! The communication was so reassuring. They were amazing at the wedding didn’t even know the girls were there. Everyone had their drinks and the food was amazing…can’t recommend them enough!

You won't regret hiring Fat Bobs!!

We had the best experience with Fat Bobs! The prices were extremely reasonable and the food was DELICOUS. They got 150 people through the buffet line in under 40 minutes, so we had PLENTY of time to enjoy our night and relax! The service was impeccable!

They were extremely considerate of and willing to go along with how we want our wedding to be organized and food service presented.

The food got high regards and compliments from all our guests and they helped us very much in consulting both our menu choices and the timing of their services.

Service and Food A+++

MJ Rocks!!! Food was on point (just as good as it is in the restaurant.) The staff was friendly and efficient. They served and cleaned up and packed up leftovers. If you don't book fat bob's and MJ you are making a mistake.

so amazing!!

We did fat bobs buffet and bar for our wedding and the food was absolutely delicious. MJ was awesome to work with and responded so quickly. On the wedding day she made sure my husband and I got our plates first and even made sure we had drinks always in our hand. All of our guests were raving about the food and asking about it days later. Fat bobs was the best decision we ever made!!!
