Highly Recommend for BBQ!
We went to two BBQ tastings about a year out from our wedding and Dead End was hands down the best. The presentation at the tasting was top notch and everything following was great! They were extremely easy to work with and very communicative throughout. The food at our wedding was DELICIOUS and we got so many compliments from guests. Additionally, the servers were very attentive with cleaning up cleared plates. I would highly recommend Dead End for anyone wanting delicious BBQ at their wedding!We went to two BBQ tastings about a year out from our wedding and Dead End was hands down the best.

The best Barbecue food!
We loved their food. Everybody has been still talking about how good their food was. It was perfect for a rustic barn wedding. The staff was so friendly and easy to work with.We loved their food.

Soooo good!
We are so happy we choose Dead End BBQ for our wedding! They were so great to work with; everything went so smoothly and the food was amazing. We got so many compliments and didn't even have that many leftovers because our guests loved it so much! They also worked with us for a grilled chicken breast option that they don't typically cater with and it was great. Definitely recommend!We are so happy we choose Dead End BBQ for our wedding!

Delicious food and service!
Without a doubt a must pick for delicious and tasty bbq. When we went to try their food we were already full from tasting other vendors. We got to the restaurant and wow we ate up all that was in front of us. We knew right then and there we were picking Dead End BBQ!! Our guests enjoyed the food and raved about the creamed corn and the pimento mac and cheese! My flower girl absolutely enjoyed the smoked sausage and was requesting more!Without a doubt a must pick for delicious and tasty bbq.

Incredible!
I do not even know where to start. The staff , the food , were just incredible. We had so much assistance with planning foods , adding food last minute , and a few hiccups the day of the wedding , but Dead End made everything so easy. The staff that came to set-up our food for the wedding were both SO sweet and helpful. I can't thank them enough!I do not even know where to start. The staff , the food , were just incredible.

Amazing food and so many compliments!
The food was incredible, the catering manager at the knoxville location was so kind and easy to work with, and everyone loved everything about it!
We thought the cornbread wasn’t as good as it was during the tasting but everything else was way better than expected!The food was incredible, the catering manager at the knoxville location was so kind and easy to work with, and everyone loved everything about it!

GREAT experience!
Dead End BBQ catered my rehearsal dinner and they were AWESOME! Everything was so good, and my guests raved about the food. I can't remember the name of the server who worked with us, but she was SO sweet. I'm the bride, and she made me a plate of food and made sure I had time to eat. They came on time, set up was easy, and the whole night was awesome! I would highly recommend them for a wedding/other catered event.

Delicious!
WOW! Dead End BBQ killed it at my wedding! Shout out to Stacy, the sales manager, for constantly answering my never ending questions and continuously updating my quote as I am one of the most indecisive people ever. The communication was excellent and Stacy was so organized. Unfortunately, I was an out of state bride so I was unable to go in for a tasting but that wasn’t necessary because the food was delicious. The team listened to my every request and executed well. The wedding guests kept saying how delicious the food was! Also, shout out to Terry for his excellent service. I feel as though Terry made the wedding a great experience for guests. All of my guests told me his service was top notch as he helped people bring food back to their tables, always checked in with the guests, and even chased a bear away from the wedding venue during set up! Terry checked in on us during dinner to make sure we had what we needed. Overall, Dead End BBQ was amazing and we would recommend to anyone looking for catering for any event!WOW!

Delicious food
Our backyard wedding was a hit especially with all of the delicious food! The price is right and the team is responsive. I can't say enough good things to be honest. The mac and cheese was the biggest crowd favorite. Hire them! You will not regret it! Thanks again!Our backyard wedding was a hit especially with all of the delicious food!

Perfect food for our wedding and amazing service!!
Dead End BBQ nailed our wedding food!!! From cocktail hour, to dinner, they went above and beyond to make sure some of our special requests were fulfilled even if they didn't offer the specific food. I had so many compliments that our food was delicious and I couldn't agree more! Planning with their staff was fun, easy, and they were so quick to respond. We definitely had the wedding of our dreams and Dead End BBQ helped make that happen. I wouldn't change a thing. I would highly recommend them!!!Dead End BBQ nailed our wedding food!!!

Absolutely delicious!
Dead End BBQ catered our wedding last night and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. You get what you pay for and I can’t recommend them enough for any of your catering needs. The food is seriously unreal and is sure to please your guests. Management was very attentive and helpful during the booking process and the service was top notch.Dead End BBQ catered our wedding last night and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food.

The food was so so good! I was very nervous because I never had a chance to try their food prior to my wedding day (we are out of state.) It was sooo delish! I am glad they were able to save us a to go box for the end of the day. The staff were incredible!The food was so so good!

Amazing Food!
Dead End BBQ went above and beyond on our day of and the food tasted absolutely amazing! From collecting our salad plates and plating the salad without even asking to cutting and serving the cake; they made our dinner go incredibly smoothly and taste wonderful! I would definitely recommend them if you're looking for great BBQ and amazing sides (especially the corn and mac n' cheese)!Dead End BBQ went above and beyond on our day of and the food tasted absolutely amazing!

Best BBQ in Knoxville
100% recommend. The food is not only delicious, but Leah and her team made the whole process of figuring out what to order and how much to order extremely easy. We also had a fair amount of vegetarians and vegans on our guest list and Leah was able to sort out options for them so they would have full entree options! The on-site team was headed by Terry and the buffett servers were professional and helped with all the clean up.100% recommend.

Pretty good food, flexible options
The food was great. I felt the response time to emails was lacking at times. They didn’t update the delivery time of the food so it arrived 2.5 hours early which was a bit frustrating but everything still turned out fine. Everyone loved the food. The Mac and cheese was the top favorite followed by the banana pudding!The food was great. I felt the response time to emails was lacking at times.
