Excellent!
Bear's was excellent to work with. Picking our food and drink menu was simple and I was excellent that they had vegetarian and vegan options. They on site staff were excellent and worked well with our venue and month of coordinator. I would recommend Bear's to anyone either know getting married in the future. -

Wedding Catering
We can’t recommend Bears BBQ enough for any event! My husband and I had them as one of the food trucks at our wedding, and our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was.
I worked with Rebecca throughout the entire process, and from start to finish she was thorough, kind, caring, and organized—making sure everything went smoothly and our event was a success.
The whole experience was amazing, the food was incredible and we’re already looking forward to having them cater a future event!

Incredible all around!
Bears was incredibly communicative throughout the whole process. Multiple phone call meetings and really personalized our quotes. On the day of the truck driver went out of his way to get my husband and I some food. We had a second food truck as well and they did a little collab! So accommodating and we got SO many compliments on the food! Would recommend a million times over! -

Phenomenal Service
We had Bears BBQ cater our wedding on April 19th. Finding a caterer for the wedding was such a huge undertaking and to say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement! But when we finally found bears, they were amazing. I was impressed from the moment they sent over their catering info. It was so clear, professional, and laid out nicely. Then they set up periodic check in calls leading up to the wedding which was so nice since I didnt have to sit and think of "what was next" they just did it for me. Then finally the day of, they came in, set up, and were SO FLEXIBLE. We were super ahead of our schedule and when we asked if we could move up dinner they said "we will make whatever you need happen". Then finally at the end of the night, they found me, said they were packed up and leaving, and it was seamless. I didnt get the names of the people that were helping at our wedding but every single one of them was beyond polite, helpful and welcoming. The set up of the buffet was also clean and polished and just overall amazing. Thank you so much Bears BBQ!! You guys were so amazing and we appreciate your part in making our day amazing! OH and everyone loved the food!!! -

Wonderful Experience Asheville Location!
My son got married in Asheville, April 5, 2025 and we had the Welcome Party night before at Highlands Brewery. Both experiences were great! Rebecca handled our catering needs. She was organized and the food was fantastic! Highly recommend Bears Smokehouse! -

So many compliments!
We received so many compliments on the food at our wedding. We made a custom buffet menu for our wedding reception. They have a range of options so it was easy to make sure we had gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options for our guests. Highly recommended Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ catering! -

Amazing and Delicious
Bears was incredible for us with catering our wedding! They had plenty of experience managing events like this. We didn’t have to do a thing on the day-of - they set everything up, cleared up, and even brought us special plates when we were too busy greeting people to grab food. The BBQ was delicious and got so many compliments from guests. The groom’s brother went back for fifths on the berry cobbler. Cassie was so helpful with planning our stations and having everything handled. Catering our wedding with Bears was a fantastic choice!

Our guests raved it was the best wedding food they have ever had!
We knew we wanted BBQ for our rustic wedding and our venue had suggested we try Bears. We went for a tasting and we were instantly sold on Bears. The hardest decision was deciding which items to choose. Sydney was amazing with communication, flexibility and support throughout! Our guests raved about the food said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and several went up for second , third and even fourth helpings!! We will continue to visit Bears even after our wedding! -

Absolutely wonderful!
We were originally supposed to have our wedding in June but because of COVID we had to move it to September and cut the guest list significantly. Bears was super flexible. Every member of the team was excellent- Sydney in catering was extremely helpful, and the staff at the wedding did a wonderful job. And of course the food was amazing! -

Awesome Caterer
Both the food and service were fantastic! Everything was delicious and they were easy to work with during the planning process. They helped tailor their services to what we needed based on our specific selections and the venue. They were efficient and friendly on both our wedding day as well as throughout the planning process. We would definitely recommend for catering and are also looking forward to many more trips to the restaurant for their awesome BBQ! -

Awesome Food!
We are so happy that we chose Bear's catering for our wedding in New Haven, CT in 2019. The whole process was extremely easy and stress-free. Bear's catering menu was flexible, allowing us to customize the food exactly as we wanted. The food was amazing and we got so many complements on it from our wedding guests. When planning our wedding, we really wanted fresh oysters during cocktail hour but this was not on Bear's catering menu at the time - they went above and beyond to source and provide oysters for us at a very reasonable price. In addition, we loved that we were able to order food by the pound rather than by person. We highly recommend the burnt ends, brisket, and mac & cheese!

Covid wedding
Staff very knowledgeable & friendly. Catering manager took the time to go through all options & offered opinions on executing a menu that would fit all of our needs. Day of, serving staff were engaged, friendly, & truly felt as if they were part of the family during our small backyard bbq Covid wedding. My guests still comment today how awesome the food was & how having Bears cater was genius. Sydney & staff come highly recommended! -

Everything from start to finish - picking items, working with Alyssa and the team that were our servers for the buffet on our big day was excellent! Our guests kept telling us how wonderful the food was and we had way more than enough on our low(er) budget. They were wonderful and highly recommended!! -

First choice for Wedding Chow!
Getting Bear’s was first on my list for possible caterers for my wedding. We got the beef brisket, mac & cheese, and of course, their famous corn bread. It’s been a couple days and we still are eating leftovers. I am very happy with my experience with them -
