    Fat Bob's BBQ 10/10

    Fat Bob's was an easy choice for our reception! The food is incredible (& affordable!) & everyone is so kind & professional. They worked with us to make sure the food was everything we wanted, & we created the PERFECT signature cocktail & mocktail.

    The best caterer!

    We used Fat Bobs for our alcohol and dinner service! The communication was so reassuring. They were amazing at the wedding didn’t even know the girls were there. Everyone had their drinks and the food was amazing…can’t recommend them enough!

    You won't regret hiring Fat Bobs!!

    We had the best experience with Fat Bobs! The prices were extremely reasonable and the food was DELICOUS. They got 150 people through the buffet line in under 40 minutes, so we had PLENTY of time to enjoy our night and relax! The service was impeccable!

    They were extremely considerate of and willing to go along with how we want our wedding to be organized and food service presented.

    The food got high regards and compliments from all our guests and they helped us very much in consulting both our menu choices and the timing of their services.

    Service and Food A+++

    MJ Rocks!!! Food was on point (just as good as it is in the restaurant.) The staff was friendly and efficient. They served and cleaned up and packed up leftovers. If you don't book fat bob's and MJ you are making a mistake.

    so amazing!!

    We did fat bobs buffet and bar for our wedding and the food was absolutely delicious. MJ was awesome to work with and responded so quickly. On the wedding day she made sure my husband and I got our plates first and even made sure we had drinks always in our hand. All of our guests were raving about the food and asking about it days later. Fat bobs was the best decision we ever made!!!

    Bridget and the catering team at Fat Bob's are amazing! They catered our wedding of well over 200 guests, and we were very impressed with how efficient they were. And of course, all of the food was absolutely delicious!

    Wonderful experience - truly a delight!

    I got to work with the team at Fat Bob's for a recent outdoor wedding and the experience could not have been better. The professionalism that Bridget and her team showed through the entire process was phenomenal. Her communication from the initial request all the way to the end of the event was incredible. She made the bride and groom feel like the most important people on earth at their wedding (as they should feel) and I really enjoyed their attention to detail. From a coordination and execution standpoint, they could not have done better. I absolutely recommend them to anyone!

    Look no further- by far the Best food catering choice!

    Everyone remembers what you had for food whether it’s a party, wedding, etc. We hired Fat Bobs for our wedding of approx 120 guests. This was the best food choice and everyone still remembers it! Anything from the pulled pork, ribs and the Mac! After eating here before and after our meeting, it was a no brainer. We made the right choice and do not regret it! Everyone enjoyed the food and there was something for everyone.

    Fat Bobs delivers the BEST wedding food around!

    Fat Bobs was such a pleasure to communicate with! Bridget was amazing, She was so accommodating and caring through the entire process. Our guests were raving about how delicious the food was and we were so happy with how everything looked and tasted. I’m only sad I didn’t get any left over collard greens because they were amazing!! Everything ran so smooth from start to finish and topped off the most perfect day! Thank you Fat Bobs, you guys rock!

    Wedding Reception

    Fat Bob's provided a delicious menu for our wedding and at a reasonable price. We loved having a private sampling before our menu was chosen although we must admit it wasn't the first or last time we have made a trip there to eat! The staff was friendly, accommodating and on top of the meal/beverage portions of the night! As a bride I did not have to worry about a single thing! Everyone was amazing! Thanks again for making our special occasion that much more special! We still get asked where we got our catering from!

    Fat Bob's = EXCELLENT FOOD, Great Value, and Professional Staff

    One of the smartest decisions my wife and I made for our big day was entrusting Fat Bob's to be our caterer. Our entrees included homemade mac and cheese, pulled pork & pulled chicken, creole salad, cornbread, and grilled veggies. Everything was delicious and we got a ton of compliments from our guests. Bridget and her catering team at Fat Bob's were very responsive and professional - they even made a couple last minute changes for two of my guests who were gluten free & vegan. I would highly recommend Fat Bob's to any couple wanting excellent food at a very fair price for their wedding day!

    Bride 7/20/19 wedding

    I don’t know where to start! Fat Bob’s was amazing! They catered our wedding at hayloft in the grove. The food was delicious, everything was just as good as when you go into the restaurant to eat or even better! We had one vegetarian guest and the manager at fat bobs Bridget went out of her way to plate up her food and be sure she had a full delicious dinner as well. The crab cake appetizers were to die for! We heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests about the food and service! We also had fat bobs cater our alcohol and I can’t say enough about how quick the bartenders where. If they noticed a line at the bar other staff would jump in and help until the line died down.
    Bridget (the manager) was so understanding, just days before my grandmother unexpectedly passed away and a two other couples that were unexpectedly sick couldn’t come, she was so understanding and reimbursed us for there plates and sent us a sympathy card. Everyone was so kind and wonderful I truly can’t thank them enough for making our dinner/ drinks perfect on our big day!

    Best Catering Ever

    We never have a bad meal at fat Bob's restaurant. Catering we always think tastes different but that is NOT the case here. The food was just as impressive as it is when you sit down in the restaurant. Their service was incredible. We hired them for bar as well and had equally impressed experience. The team that worked the wedding got multiple compliments from our guests!!

    Great Barbecue!

    My daughter’s wedding was catered by Fat Bob’s. Delicious, fun, easy to work with. Bridget was wonderful about everything, everyone loved the food (particularly the brisket). It couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely wonderful!

    We had Fat Bob’s cater our wedding in August 2018. We had 230 guests. Booking and coordinating them as the caterer was the simplest, most relaxing part of the wedding planning!

    Bridget is awesome! She was extremely helpful with deciding the menu, quantities, and over all set up at the wedding. Beside from Bridget, all the staff we dealt with were wonderful!! They were all very professional!

    On top of the great service, the food is AMAZING!! To this day, our guests still compliment the meal. Everything tasted just like you ordered in the restaurant. The Buffet line was efficient and always well stocked.

    Fat Bob’s definitely won’t disappoint you!

    Went well above and beyond

    The quality of the food was only exceeded by the service the staff provided. Starting from the planning phase they helped with every decision and were incredibly responsive for they question I had. I can not say enough about how helpful the staff were on site. They communicated extremely well which helped everything go off without a hitch. They took the initiative to help in every way I could have asked for, in short, they made it easy to concentrate on my mom's wedding knowing they had everything on their end under complete control. As far as the food, EVERYONE raved, including the vegetarian/vegan guests which I thought might be an issue ordering bbq. And lastly, the value, I went to several other bbq caterers and they were either equal to or less than the others that did not offer the services they did. The other pricing was based on drop off services. I could not recommend then more.

    Such a great all around experience!

    You guys were so awesome for my wedding! Bridget was great and made good suggestions on how to ensure we saved money where possible and how to enhance our guests overall experience. The service was great and the food wasn’t outstanding, our guests are still raving about it! You guys made it so easy for us and it really helped make the process more enjoyable and stress free.

    Wonderful!!

    Fat Bob's was wonderful from the beginning. I live out of town and was having an outdoor reception (for about 100 people). Bridget helped with everything! How to set up the food and tables, timing, suggestions, etc. She made me feel completely comfortable with all my decisions - and was always available for help. The on-site staff was great! They were very attentive.. oh and, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, of course! I would use Fat Bob's for any occasion!

    Legitimately the best caterer I could have possibly picked. I don’t even think a five star review can do it justice. Everything was incredibly well organized communication was always timely and helpful. Bridget was amazing. The food was excellent and they also did the bar which was great!

    Fat Bobs was amazing from start to finish! Bridget was so great to work with! After our first sit down with her at the restaurant we knew everything was going to be perfect! The food was great and the service was even better! Bridget even held my plate and went through the line with me so I wouldn’t spill on my dress! She consistently checked on us throughout dinner to make sure everything was going well! I have to admit I usually don’t eat much at weddings, but I ate a lot! So much in fact that I had to change out of my dress early bc I was so full and it was really tight! Haha oops! Multiple of our guests also told us that it was the best wedding food they have had! We highly recommend booking with Fat Bobs if you want delicious BBQ/ southern style food at your wedding!

    Fat Bob's catered our onsite wedding- appetizers, buffet, bar, and dessert- WOW! Our guests were so pleased with our selection- the food was delicious and the service was outstanding! It was such a pleasure to work with Bridget and her staff. Everything from the initial meetings to the end of the night was smooth, exciting, and beyond our wildest expectations.

    The food was delicious and the service was great. Fat Bob's easily accommodated our large group of 200 people. I would definitely use them again for future events!

    Fat Bob's did an outstanding job catering my husband's and my wedding reception luncheon on July 28th, 2018.
    The servers were helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, and the execution was perfect. Fat Bob's went above and beyond our expectations to bring together a memorable experience for us. We had many unusual needs at our reception, including additional food provided by friends and another restaurant that needed to be looked after. Fat Bob's took care of everything and alleviated a ton of stress. I would highly recommend them for any event! :)

    Fat Bob's catered our very small wedding. Bridget was awesome! She helped with the vision of how the buffet line would work and took control of all the food. Can't say enough about the food! There was tons of food! No one went away hungry, in fact many took some food home with them. And did I mention, all of this in the midst of a late winter snow storm in north Buffalo! I HIGHLY recommend Fat Bob's catering service!

    Fat Bob's has some of our favorite food in the city at their brick and mortar, so we were thrilled to have them for our wedding! The food was an incredible value, and the a la carte service options helped us plan the day we wanted without having to sacrifice good service. Bridget and all the servers were professional, kind, attentive, and wonderful. Many out of towners demanded to know where we got the food so that they could get more before their trip was over! We would HIGHLY recommend Fat Bob's for all types of weddings!

    Do yourself a favor and get food that everyone will want and remember! People are still talking about the amazing BBQ a month later. Fat Bob's, specifically with the help of catering manager, Bridget, was incredibly accommodating to our different guests dietary needs (gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan). At first we weren't sure if we wanted buffet style, but this allows your guests to pick and choose what they want and how much they want. It's the least wasteful approach - which truly mattered to us. The wedding turned out amazing and that was largely in part to the food and service we received from Fat Bob's.

    Fat Bobs was fantastic for my wedding! They were flexible and tuned into each of our wishes, truly figuring out what was important to us to have on our wedding day! Great value, awesome food...people still tell us how much they loved the food at our wedding!

    Food was awesome, service was spectacular, and Bridget and Patrick helped immensely with planning our event with zero stress. They provided all the amenities needed, from large bottles of water for the tables, to wet naps, and they even provided the tables to set up for the buffet line! Fat Bobs catering service is a fantastic value, and their food never disappoints.

    So amazing and great to work with! All our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was! I was so impressed by how smoothly everything went, and how unobtrusive the caterers were while still being so attentive! 10/10 would book again!

    When the original catering manager left Fat Bobs, owners Pat & his wife Bridget stepped up &took complete control of everything. We met to go over specific details on what may/may not work for our type of venue (Bridget even came out to my venue to check out the staging). My husband and I were lucky enough to be able to do a full pig roast at our wedding, where Fat bobs provided a Pig Roast Master, along with servers who were very attentive to serving and bussing tables in a very timely manner. My DJ commented that in all the years he's been doing weddings, he's never seen people get through buffets so fast--everyone was served and finished eating in an hour tops. Bridget even helped with going well beyond what caterers do-bringing in extra tables for us to do two buffet lines (large size of our wedding) & provided top notch service by carrying my plate (the bride) over to the serving area to make sure I didn't get any of those BBQ sauces or food on my dress. Bridget even agreed to set the tables with all the plates/glasses, etc. that my husband and I provided when she certainly didn't need to. They provided apps for my wedding party during pictures so we wouldn't miss out too! This is a place we frequent, but everyone I have every brought to this restaurant rave about the food/service & bar staff. I highly highly recommend Fat Bobs to anyone interested in catering a wedding. Bridget/ Pat & Fat Bobs staff, a genuine thank you for making this day so amazing for us!!!

    Patrick and his team made our wedding so special! They were super responsive, listened to all of the ideas we had to make our wedding unique, and were super flexible as we got closer to the big day. The food was SO GOOD, plentiful, and we're still getting compliments several months later. Can't wait to have Fat Bob's every year for our anniversary!

    Fat Bob's was a pleasure to work with (I dealt mainly with Patrick, but the other folks seemed nice too) PLUS their food was excellent! I started by leaving a message one day and they responded promptly. We talked over the phone a few times to set up an initial estimate and set up a time when we would be in town to come in and try the food. The management was ready for us and were very friendly and accommodating. They let us order dinner then came to talk about our wedding menu. We discussed some options and then dinner came and it was awesome. After dinner we talked about other options like how it would be served, how many people would assist, what kind of plates, etc, etc. They were SO accommodating, and listened to everything we said and by the end of the meeting I was sure they would be a great choice. They seemed to really care about doing a great job. And they did! On the day of the wedding, the food was all set when it was supposed to be and there was plenty! And it was good! I would highly recommend working with them!

    We love Fat Bobs! Thank you so much for being a committed supporter of Gateway Longview's signature community event, BBQ & Blues Bash! Patrick, Bridget, and their team are responsive, accommodating, and presentation is always first priority… not to mention their menu is always top notch! We are so grateful to have such a strong community partner. Thanks Fat Bobs!

    Fat Bobs was a hit at our wedding

    We had Fat Bobs provide both our food and bar services at our wedding. They provided excellent service from the time I first reached out to them to the day of our wedding. They were always very responsive (never exceeding 1 day without response) and were able to answer all of our questions and concerns. Our tasting experience was exceptional as we got full plates of all the items we were considering as well as bar beverages. We went home that day with multiple takeout containers!

    A week or so before the wedding they reached out to us to finalize the menu and day of timeline which was very appreciated considering we didn't have to worry about reaching out to them in the midst of finalizing last minute things.

    On the day of the wedding they were punctual and without any issues. The group that came worked vigorously in the pouring rain and everything ran very smoothly. They brought enough staff to run the bar, the truck, and every station at the buffet which was nice as I feel as though this made the buffet more formal and less messy than one would expect.

    After dinner, they cleaned up their stations in a very timely manner and everything was placed in takeout containers and put off to the side. Our guests loved the food and many of them went up for 2nds or 3rds during dinner.

    The bar staff was very nice and appropriately staffed. They even put a separate bottle of sangria off to the side for me to enjoy as it was difficult to sometimes get to the bar in the midst of the usual wedding activities. They also cleaned up everything in a very timely manner after the bar had closed.

    I was very happy with my choice in having Fat Bobs cater and provide the bar service for our wedding!

    It was a great graduation party. I would for sure use Fat Bob's again. The service was worth using. I was trying hard to speak with all our guests. They helped clean up and put the food away and it was a godsend.

    The staff was helpful and attentive, especially on the wedding day. Most importantly to the food was delicious!! We received so many compliments from my guests on the food. We wanted a fun, casual atmosphere and Fat Bobs catering helped make that happen.

    It was only natural since Fat Bob's is our favorite BBQ place in Buffalo, it would be awesome to have them cater our outdoor wedding! The staff at Fat Bob's was very friendly and accommodating. They worked with us to create a menu and bar that would best suit what we wanted for our guests and our day! The food was great, and so many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the dinner. We would recommend Fat Bob's to anyone looking for catering services.

    Food was great. We did a buffet and we really liked that the owner made plates for us as we walked through.
