Excellent Experience - Delicious Food!

Hawk's BBQ was the best caterer to work with! Not only are the owners super friendly and personable, but their prices are competitive, and they even offered free hot dogs for kids, and automatically included however many jack fruit / vegan / veggie options that we needed. They were professional, on time, and the food was delicious! We received so many compliments on the food during our reception!! Would absolutely recommend and consider hiring again if I ever needed a caterer for another event!

Highly recommend

Hawks is owned by a very kind couple. They were responsive and professional. We opted for pasta, which was affordable (one of the most affordable options in the Omaha area!) and delicious! Definitely a crowd pleaser. They handled the food day-of, which went perfectly smooth. We ended up with about three trays of leftovers. It seemed like a good amount of food (plenty to eat, not too much to trek home). Definitely recommend!!

Awesome caterers!

We highly recommend using Hawks! We had 2 meats, 2 sides and salad and the value was amazing. They were great to work with and the food was so good! The baked beans and cheesy potatoes were the best sides :)

Willing to Accommodate!

Chris from Hawk’s BBQ put together an epic taco bar for my wedding. It was delicious, so fresh, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. And, the best part to me was that he was the only caterer I found who would accommodate my unique ingredient requests. My husband and I try to eat organic foods whenever possible and it was important to us to serve organic foods and regeneratively raised beef to our guests. Chris was able to source organic rice, beans, and seasonings and he even allowed us to provide our own meat for him to cook (most caterers are weirdly picky about this!). If you have unique catering needs, reach out to Hawk’s BBQ!

Wedding Reception

We had Hawks BBQ cater our daughter’s wedding in June for approximately 140 guests. They were easy to communicate with, easy to schedule a tasting with and even provided free hot dogs for the children. We really feel we received a wonderful meal for the price and will definitely use them again as we have five more children! The guests were served quickly, buffet style, and they raved about the food! It is obvious that this husband and wife team take pride in what they do and want to serve a quality product.

Delicious!

Our reception was catered by Hawks BBQ and our guests loved it! Their pasta salad was delicious and GONE! He also makes extra intentional so I wasn’t worried about running out of food and we had leftovers to serve our family the next day at gift opening. It was wonderful! Highly recommend!

Stop scrolling and hire chris!

As soon as we tried Hawk’s BBQ at a local event we were sold!!! Everything from our first contact to the friendship built through the planning and day of our wedding were top notch!! We got to know Chris and his wife, Brenda so well that we consider them friends! We had 250 guests at our wedding reception and people still talk about how great our food was! Pricing compared to other catering options was significantly less too and with a $30k wedding those savings were HUGE!! Call Chris today! It’ll be the easiest decision you make for your wedding preparation!!
