About Us

What started years ago with roasting pigs for family gatherings and special occasions has now grown into Word of Mouth BBQ, a family owned and operated BBQ and catering company serving Northeast Ohio. Today, you can find our trailers at festivals and events across Ohio, serving customer favorites like our famous “Big Fat Pulled Pork Sandwich”, loaded baked potatoes, fall-off-the-bone ribs, brisket, and other delicious creations. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of catering countless weddings and special events. We enjoy working closely with every couple to create a menu that fits their vision and budget, while accommodating dietary needs so every guest can enjoy the celebration. Family has always been at the heart of what we do. Our children began helping us when they were 7 and 11 years old, and today they confidently manage their own crews at festivals and catered events. As a family owned and operated business, we take pride in treating every event, every meal, and every customer like part of our extended family. Our commitment to quality food, friendly service, and hospitality is what keeps our customers coming back and sharing us by Word of Mouth.

Services Offered

We are equipped to cater an event for up to 300 guests. Word of Mouth BBQ cooks on site for parties of 150 or more. We provide a custom menu to fit your budget and needs, as well as a buffet -style dinner. We can also provide hors d'oeuvres, place settings, and after-dinner table clean-up. Please see our Wix website to view our menu options or reach out with any questions.

Best BBQ around

My guests raved about the food all nite. The owner is a delight to work with. Her husband and a helper came and they were very nice as well. They were right on schedule arriving and with the dinner time. I changed head counts and options a few times and Cheryl was more than accommodating. Will hire again for other parties.

Excellent from beginning to end.

Used them for my daughter's wedding on 5/12/23 and the service and food was excellent. Not one complaint from any of the 125 guests which rarely happens with anything. I would definitely use their catering again and recommend it to anyone.

They did an incredible job. Their food was fantastic and all of our guests raved about it. I can't believe how affordable they are with the amount of food and the quality of food they provide. They were incredible with answering any questions that we had and made the planning process go so smoothly. I would definitely recommend them!

Word of Mouth was SO easy to work with (even adjusting the number of guests and dealing with a few other unforseen issues) and did a wonderful job catering at our wedding. They are extremely cost effective and dinner was wonderful! We ordered smoked chicken, pulled pork, Cole slaw, beans, and mac and cheese, which our guests are still raving about. Very, very delicious!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
