Hank's is amazing!

Going into wedding planning, the only food I knew I didn't want was BBQ, so I overlooked Hank's initially. I was getting so frustrated with the pricing options that I was REALLY close to just getting sandwich platters from a local deli. Then our baker, Buttercream Dreams, actually recommended Hank's - their pricing is super reasonable, especially with the crazy wedding markups, and they have more than just BBQ. We did a tasting, and it was lovely - the food was all amazing, and they sat down with us and listened to our needs. Very accommodating for allergies and diet restrictions. They have options for plated dinners, buffet, and food truck - we did the buffet! It also included a cheese and veggie platter and drink station. We used their bartender as well, though we provided the alcohol, and they were great at following the instructions for the specialty drinks my husband came up with. On the day of, they were timely, set up and broke down quickly (they were very familiar with the venue, a huge plus). The catering staff were SO nice to us - I didn't realize how important that would be but they went out of their way to be just kind human beings and that made the night even more perfect. They even made sure we got the cherry preserves on our cake slices that we wanted, and that they were on the right cake flavors! Which is a truly random request. We will definitely be stopping by their restaurant again in the future! We got so much for the price and cannot recommend them more.

Absolutely delicious and professional service

Hank's BBQ catered our wedding for 80 people in a barn venue and they were incredible. The food was amazing and we and our guests were stuffed. We had whiskey BBQ chicken, pulled pork, loaded baked potato salad (a must), mac and cheese, rolls, and salad and there are BBQ portobello mushrooms by the pan for vegetarians. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the catering staff the day of the wedding (servers to clear, manage, the buffet, and a for-hire bartender). Sabrina, the catering manager, was very easy to work with.

It was very affordable for 80 people. BUDGET HACK: they include place settings, cups, and dessert settings FOR FREE and an option is bamboo was very sturdy for the mountain of BBQ your guests are about to eat and looked great in photos. This is a steal of a deal!

A great experience in every aspect!

Hank's catered our wedding in June 2022, and we could not have been happier with that decision! Sabrina was extremely helpful the whole way through, and working with her made everything food related go so smoothly. We purchased their bar package as well and couldn't have been more happy with how seems everything worked with the food and drink. We received so many complements from guests about how good the food was, and the amazing service staff was so kind and professional. Definitely a top-tier catering company!
