So delicious

We did BBQ with Poppa Naps for our wedding of 250 guests. They were wonderful to work with and so easy to customize the meal. They were very attentive in response and timely. The food was incredible, and I still have friends and family talk about how delicious it was at the reception. The staff was so friendly and fun to interact with throughout the time and they treated the bridal party with extra attentiveness. I didn't have to even think about the food and when I looked around everyone was so happy and eating to their hearts delight. We wanted to feed our friends and family good food and not have them walk away wanting. I highly recommend them for any event! Also He drove from Vegas to California so keep in mind how flexible they can be with location =)

Amazing food

My husband and I had a micro wedding in Vegas. We chose Poppa Napps based on the glowing reviews and were not disappointed! The food was AMAZING. My husband is from the south and he said it was the best BBQ he'd had in years. Our guests raved about how delicious it was as well. The service was impeccable. Poppa Napp was friendly and timely. I would recommend any person looking for BBQ catering. You won't regret it!

Papa Naps BBQ provided us with the greatest BBQ for our backyard country wedding. It was so delicious and greatly priced for the value of the food. Papa Nap and his employers are just a joy and an upbeat bunch. I would recommend them to anyone looking for some good ole BBQ!!!

Papa Nap's mobile catering is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Everyone is still talking about how yummy the food was. And what's funny is that they can't decide what they liked the most! It seems to be a consensus that everything was so good that they can't really say what was loved the most. There's no way to really explain how the brisket melts in your mouth and falls apart with your fork, you just have to try it.

Very nice, but food cold and late

We used Poppa Naps for our wedding reception dinner. Napoleon was so friendly and easy to work with leading up to our wedding day. Unfortunately, the day of, he was running late. Someone asked what the plan was for food while I was getting ready for the ceremony (which we were running late as well which helped with the timing) so I checked my phone to see that I didn’t get a call. He let me know he was on his way when I called at 3:38 pm with a serve time of 4 pm and we ate some time after 5pm. Now the food was good when we warmed it up the next day, but fell short at the reception. It would be hard to recommend for something like a wedding but for catered food at a gathering would be fine.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
