Our wedding was planned in approximately 10 months and from the moment I sat down with Melissa at Lakeland BBQ I knew it was the perfect choice for us. First, she was kind, always answered any and all questions we had, no matter how small they were. We met for a tasting (delish!) and fell in love with her even more. In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests. I would highly recommend this caterer! VERY FAIR prices, large portions and happy guests. I am 100% pleased. Thank you Melissa and your amazing staff!!

Food was excellent, had a ton of compliments on how delicious everything was. The staff was professional and accommodating. Very easy to work with. Would highly recommend Lakeland BBQ for your next event.

If you are anywhere near Polk City BBQ Company, do yourself a favor and stop for a meal It is easily accessible and only a few minutes off of I-4. Scott was super friendly, helpful and has a great personality. The pulled chicken was the best I’ve ever had anywhere in the US. All of their dishes are great barbecue.

Food was great and service from Scott was good. Pulled pork tasted good and had great sweet tea. Would recommend.

Thank you much Lakeland BBQ for an amazing job feeding our guests! We hosted a private house wedding of about 80 people and you made everything so easy. We had a traditional BBQ menu and so glad we added the ribs, they were a hit! Our guests raved about it all. The set up and serving team of Scott, Tommy and Beau were Rockstars. Thank you again Melissa for making everything so simple and perfect, you missed no detail! Perfection! We will absolutely use your service again.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible catering services of Lakeland BBQ for our wedding dinner, and I can't say enough about how they transformed our special day into an unforgettable culinary experience.

From the moment we started planning, their team was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. On the big day, they arrived on-site and prepared 100 perfectly cooked filet steaks right before our eyes. The aroma of the grilling steaks filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a wonderful celebration.

Each filet was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. It was evident that the chefs took great pride in their craft, as every steak was served hot and at the ideal doneness. Our guests were raving about the quality of the food, and many even went back for seconds!

In addition to the steaks, Lakeland BBQ provided an array of delicious sides that complemented the meal beautifully. The attention to detail in presentation and flavor was remarkable.

Overall, Lakeland BBQ exceeded our expectations in every way. They played a significant role in making our wedding dinner a memorable occasion, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for any event. Thank you, Lakeland BBQ, for your outstanding service and for making our wedding celebration truly special!
Love the Shinabarkers 🫶

Lakeland BBQ Company did an absolute amazing job catering and serving at our wedding. The food and grazing table were delicious and beautifully put together. We could not have asked for a better experience with the Lakeland BBQ team. Highly recommend them for any and all events. We will be using them again soon!

Friday night 1/24/25 was in the mood for BBQ, had heard about Frost Proof BBQ but never tried it. Highlands County resident, only 1 bbq place in Avon Park. We were the only customers seated at 5:30 pm, food came out quick. My son loved his Big Pig sandwich. The brisket was very yummy. The hashbrown casserole was so good. We will be back - especially when we are in the MOOD for BBQ!

I didn't even know that I liked brisket!! amazing food and service, Amy was the best!

As a planner this was my first encounter with Lakeland BBQ. They were exceptional to work with in all regards The food was incredibly delicious also!
