About

  • Station House BBQ Catering was built on service, heart, and a deep love for bringing people together. Founded by husband-and-wife team Anthony and Allison Fonseca, our story blends a firefighter’s dedication with a teacher’s care and that spirit is present in every wedding we serve.

    What began in a firehouse kitchen and a converted fire truck has grown into one of Tampa Bay’s most trusted wedding catering teams. While we are known for our slow-smoked barbecue including our 14-hour Texas-style brisket and tender, smoke-kissed ribs, our menus go far beyond what couples expect from a traditional BBQ caterer. From elevated sides to crowd-favorite Cubanitos that consistently surprise guests, our food is designed to feel indulgent, memorable, and thoughtfully crafted.

    We believe great wedding food should feel both comforting and refined. Each menu is carefully curated to match the tone of your celebration, whether that means a polished plated experience, an upscale buffet, or an interactive dining moment that brings guests together. Every dish is prepared with intention, balance, and attention to detail.

    What truly sets Station House BBQ apart is how we serve on your wedding day. With backgrounds in public service, our team is calm, organized, and dependable. We understand the importance of timing, flow, and presentation, and we pride ourselves on delivering a seamless experience so couples can be fully present and enjoy their day.

    Every wedding is treated as a one-of-a-kind celebration. We take the time to understand your vision and execute it with care, professionalism, and warmth. From the first bite to the final send-off, our goal is to create an experience your guests will remember long after the celebration ends.

    At Station House BBQ, you’re not just choosing a caterer, you're partnering with a team that values craftsmanship, hospitality, and elevated comfort. We would be honored to serve you and help make your wedding day truly unforgettable.

So so yummy

We did a full pig roast & all my guests raved about it. We heard multiple times how our wedding had the best food for a wedding they’ve ever experienced. And the chef was so personable! Use them for catering or just lunch, they won’t disappoint!

Best BBQ Out There!

Yummy food was at the top of our "Must haves" list and let me tell you Station House Catering DELIVERED!!! Every guest told us how delicious the food was, the mac n cheese was my personal fave, most guests said the Mashed Potato topping bar was their favorite, and that the Pulled Pork was the best they've ever had. I strongly suggest them for your wedding or any other event! The communications with them were very open and they were happy to answer questions whenever we had them! And so nice the day of the wedding as well! not one complaint from us!

5 stars; Brides look NO further!

Station House BBQ was one of the preferred vendors from our reception venue and we are so happy we trusted them to cater our wedding meal!! My husband is a big BBQ fan and once we knew they cooked on site we were sold. As we had planned our wedding from out of state we never got to sample the BBQ before hand but on our wedding day we were so pleased with the food and the services provided. Our guests came up to us during and after the wedding raving on the food provided both at the reception and cocktail hour. The catering manager, Leslie, is so friendly, organized, and very easy to work with and makes this aspect of wedding planning a breeze! Thank you Station House BBQ!!

Stationhouse was the BEST choice we could have made for food! Leslie was a dream to work with booking the event and the staff for the day-of was fantastic! They were attentive and made sure the groom and I had plates of food and a chance to enjoy it!! Everything was DELICIOUS and our guests were raving about the Mac n cheese!!! We are already planning a date night to dine-in and relive the deliciousness!

I need more stars!

Everyone knows the food is critical for any good wedding and I cannot say enough kind words about Station House BBQ. Their food is always delicious and were someone we reached out to as we knew we wanted some great bbq (my fiancé is from Texas!). When we met with them they created a custom menu that had Midwest flavors for me and Tex-mex flavors fir my fiancé. Plus we took them up on their cocktail station options and I cannot tell you how many people LOVED the biscuit bar! They worked within our budget and made a whole gluten free spread for me- on the day they were the kindest- really professional and so speedy. Our guests RAVED about the quality, diversity and consistency of food. Please don’t hesitate and book them. They MADE our wedding!

So delicious

WE LOVED having Allison, Anthony, and their team at Station House BBQ cater our wedding. They were able to accommodate my dairy and gluten allergy and everything was delicious!!! The food Anthony prepared was phenomenal, Allison was so responsive and friendly, and the team at our reception were kind and took care of us. They were all team players and chipped in to make sure our day was perfect! Highly recommend. Will most definitely be paying their food truck a visit soon! I'm missing their food already!!! And their faces (:

Best Wedding Food EVER!

The food they supplied was out of this world! They are friendly, caring, and went above and beyond on multiple occasions! I cannot say enough about how everyone should book them! We got married over two months ago and people are still complimenting us on the food at the wedding! If you don't book with Allison, Anthony, and the team behind Smoke House BBQ you are crazy and are seriously missing out!! We couldn't have been happier with the service and love they provided to us on our day. No one tops Smoke House BBQ!

Dot’s 92nd Birthday in the Barn

Allison and Anthony were over the top amazing. Professional, courteous, timely, accommodating and sincerely friendly. The BBQ was delicious too. Our family would highly recommend Station House BBQ. By the end of the evening, Anthony and Allison felt more like family than a caterer. You will not be sorry if you contract with them. They made my Mother’s 92nd Birthday and evening to never forget! We are grateful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
