Steel Belly BBQ Set the Bar for Wedding Catering!

Steel Belly BBQ was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were incredibly easy to work with—responsive, flexible, and truly invested in making our day exactly what we wanted. They take the time to customize and individualize the menu, which made everything feel so personal and perfectly suited to us. Nothing felt cookie-cutter.

Russ and his wife are some of the nicest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet, and that warmth carries through their entire business. They were so accommodating and made the whole catering process completely stress-free.

And the food… absolutely amazing. I’m originally from Arkansas, so I don’t say this lightly—their BBQ is every bit as good as true Southern BBQ. Everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a huge hit with our guests. People are still talking about how incredible the food was. Steel Belly BBQ didn’t just cater our wedding—they helped make it unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. 🔥

Steel Belly Barbecue LLC did an excellent Job

Steel Belly was easy to work with. They answered all my questions and helped me decide how much to order based on number of guests. They delivered the Pulled Pork to my daughters wedding shower and set up the food table with their condiments and accessories. I thought they were priced well, and the Pulled Pork was excellent.

A wedding you can't forget

We had such an amazing experience with Russ and his team at SteelBelly BBQ. The food was absolutely incredible. We served brisket and pulled pork at our wedding, and everyone could not stop talking about how good it was. Even days later, guests were asking how they could get more of that delicious BBQ.

My father in law, who has spent time working in Texas, said it was some of the best he has ever had, and that is saying something.

Russ and his team were also fantastic to work with. They were friendly, responsive, and patient with all of my questions. They made everything easy and stress free. I cannot recommend SteelBelly BBQ enough to anyone looking for amazing food and great people.

Wedding Catering

Steel belly barbecue is everything we wanted and more in a caterer for our wedding! Russ was so easy to work with especially with us being from out of the area. We had our wedding in the Northwoods of Wi which Russ had no concerns with traveling for. Unfortunately due to some traffic, Russ and his team were running a few minutes late but had no issues setting up as soon as they got to the wedding and everything ran on schedule, not a minute late!! The food and desserts are still being talked about how good by our guests. Russ was so easy to work with and was great at communication! 1000% would recommend Steel Belly and hope you have their delicious food in the future!

Anniversary party

Steel Belly Barbecue has the best barbecue around! Russ is so easy to work with. We had compliments all night on how delicious the food was. Everyone asked who catered and where they were located. Several people went back for seconds and we still had leftovers. You will not be disappointed with Steel Belly Barbecue!

Wedding Caterer!

If you are thinking about booking a food truck or catering service for your wedding, look no further. Russ & Kimberly make AMAZING food, that all of our guests really enjoyed. We were never left wondering what was needed before our big day either as they reached out proactively to make sure everyone was on the same page. I can't give them enough stars. HIGHLY recommend!!!! -Hunter & Tessa

Backyard BBQ Wedding

Russ is amazing! He is easy to work with very courteous and professional. We had a small wedding on the 4th of July and wanted a relaxed backyard BBQ vibe. Russ was here with his pit which really enhanced that feeling. We knew we wanted to serve BBQ at our wedding and we sampled several vendors but as soon as we tried Russ’s food we knew our search was over. At our wedding ALL of our guests commented on how absolutely spectacular the food was. One person told me how she really didn’t care for Mac and cheese but she really enjoyed Russ’s. I can whole heartedly and without reservation recommend Russ and Steel Belly BBQ.

Excellent Wedding Vendor!

The food was AMAZING and services definitely exceeded expectations! Kim and the other staff were so sweet and even our guests had great things to say about them. They were very helpful and made the day stress free for us! They needed almost no direction for set up, and at the end of the night got all extras packed up and put away for us.
All our guests raved about the food, especially the brisket and mac and cheese!
Many thanks to Steel Belly BBQ
