Amazing food, great customer service!!

We used American BBQ for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with everything. Allison, the catering coordinator, was amazing to work with. She was always very responsive to any questions and amenable even when I changed our menu several times lol. All the food was absolutely delicious and our guests loved it! Pulled pork is incredible and I was lucky enough to have some leftovers to eat the day after! Highly recommend for a caterer. Great food and great service!! Thanks American BBQ!

Our Daughters Wedding - 120 guests.

We had an excellent experience working with American Barbecue. We dealt with Michelle, I believe the owner, and she was awesome. The 4 person team she sent to cater our wedding were professional and responsive. The food they provided was outstanding. They were great at clearing all our tables after everyone had eaten and even packaged up the leftovers and brought them into our home. The pricing was extremely reasonable and a great value. We would hire American Barbecue for any future catering events we host. Great job American Barbecue!

We didn't even try the food before we hired them - but we definitely weren't disappointed!

We used The American BBQ for our 10/2/2020 wedding in our backyard in Easton, MA (which they traveled to without hesitation from Rowley!!) and we cannot say enough good things about them! Their staff was so fun and they even took photos together at our photo guest book station to commemorate the fun they had. We were in a bind at first because we had to change our plans COMPLETELY about 3 months before our date due to COVID and even during the middle of a pandemic and such short notice, they came through! We didn't try their food beforehand (which in hindsight sounds kind of crazy), but we were NOT disappointed! We got Dad's Favorite package and added some brisket and other sides and had TONS of leftovers that we packaged up and handed out to the guests that were staying at the hotel for a late night snack or to take home with them. Our friends and family are still asking us to this day where our food was from because they want to take the trip up there to have it again. Awesome job, guys!

Amazing service and delicious food!

Michelle and her team were amazing! We had a multicultural wedding where we merged BBQ with Nigerian food. Michelle worked with us to make a buffet where our guests were able to try both food types. Everyone was raving about the food and I was so thankful we went through a company that was so punctual, organized and produced such a delicious meal! Thanks so much!

Excellent food and service

Food is amazing. Guests at our daughters wedding raved about how delicious the food was. Pulled pork, loaded potato salad, ribs.. too much to mention each food. Very good!

The service was outstanding! Every small detail was taken care of and servers wouldn’t have been attentive.

From our 1st phone call, to emailing, Michele is a gem to work with. She makes sure you get what you ask for. She takes the time to go over menu options and ideas.

We highly recommend using their service!

Affordable, Great Food, and a Joy to Work With

We hired them for my brother's wedding in April and Michele was such a joy to work with! The whole time she was professional, responded to our million questions promptly and made sure everything was exactly how the bride and groom envisioned. They were prompt the day of, managed to handle all of our requests, and made the day go super smooth. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the pulled pork and adding the brisket! Overall, they were a delight to work with and would definitely hire again for another event.
