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!

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!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
