Excellent Experience - Delicious Food!
Hawk's BBQ was the best caterer to work with! Not only are the owners super friendly and personable, but their prices are competitive, and they even offered free hot dogs for kids, and automatically included however many jack fruit / vegan / veggie options that we needed. They were professional, on time, and the food was delicious! We received so many compliments on the food during our reception!! Would absolutely recommend and consider hiring again if I ever needed a caterer for another event! -

Highly recommend
Hawks is owned by a very kind couple. They were responsive and professional. We opted for pasta, which was affordable (one of the most affordable options in the Omaha area!) and delicious! Definitely a crowd pleaser. They handled the food day-of, which went perfectly smooth. We ended up with about three trays of leftovers. It seemed like a good amount of food (plenty to eat, not too much to trek home). Definitely recommend!! -

Chris and Brenda go above and beyond in all aspects of their catering services. My guests asked all night where the food was from! They are so easy to work with. Highly recommend! -

Awesome caterers!
We highly recommend using Hawks! We had 2 meats, 2 sides and salad and the value was amazing. They were great to work with and the food was so good! The baked beans and cheesy potatoes were the best sides :) -

Willing to Accommodate!
Chris from Hawk’s BBQ put together an epic taco bar for my wedding. It was delicious, so fresh, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. And, the best part to me was that he was the only caterer I found who would accommodate my unique ingredient requests. My husband and I try to eat organic foods whenever possible and it was important to us to serve organic foods and regeneratively raised beef to our guests. Chris was able to source organic rice, beans, and seasonings and he even allowed us to provide our own meat for him to cook (most caterers are weirdly picky about this!). If you have unique catering needs, reach out to Hawk’s BBQ! -

Wedding Reception
We had Hawks BBQ cater our daughter’s wedding in June for approximately 140 guests. They were easy to communicate with, easy to schedule a tasting with and even provided free hot dogs for the children. We really feel we received a wonderful meal for the price and will definitely use them again as we have five more children! The guests were served quickly, buffet style, and they raved about the food! It is obvious that this husband and wife team take pride in what they do and want to serve a quality product. -

Delicious!
Our reception was catered by Hawks BBQ and our guests loved it! Their pasta salad was delicious and GONE! He also makes extra intentional so I wasn’t worried about running out of food and we had leftovers to serve our family the next day at gift opening. It was wonderful! Highly recommend! -

Stop scrolling and hire chris!
As soon as we tried Hawk’s BBQ at a local event we were sold!!! Everything from our first contact to the friendship built through the planning and day of our wedding were top notch!! We got to know Chris and his wife, Brenda so well that we consider them friends! We had 250 guests at our wedding reception and people still talk about how great our food was! Pricing compared to other catering options was significantly less too and with a $30k wedding those savings were HUGE!! Call Chris today! It’ll be the easiest decision you make for your wedding preparation!! -

Great people.. better BBQ
Chris and Brenda are amazing people and cook some darn good BBQ! We worked with them during the heart of the pandemic. They were extremely helpful by accommodating to us. We had to change dates completely, and our guest list was constantly in flux due to capacity guidelines. Chris was even able to smoke up polish sausage for us which was our family tradition and did an amazing job. Very affordable, highly recommend!! -

2020 Wedding
Hawks BBQ went above and beyond in catering my 2020 wedding! Adjustments had to be made with how we were served but they did such an amazing job! Not only was the food amazing, we ended up with plenty of food that everyone RAVED about and they cleaned up, and packaged any leftovers for us to take home. They were all around amazing to work with! -

Can’t go wrong with bbq & tacos!
We used Hawks for our rehearsal dinner and reception and it was the best decision! Chris and Brenda are great to work with and the food is amazing! They were flexible and understanding when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding to 2021 which was greatly appreciated.
We had traditional bbq with pulled pork and brisket for our rehearsal dinner and everyone raved about the baked beans. We switched it up for the reception and had the taco bar with smoked chicken and brisket barbacoa. They also set up a chips and dip bar for our cocktail hour with salsa, queso and guacamole. The hardest decision was picking which meats we wanted because they’re all delicious! The prices were great for the quality you get. Highly recommended! -

Hawk's BBQ and Catering is the BEST!
Hawk's BBQ catered my son and daughter in law's wedding and it was amazing! We had lasagna, smoked chicken alfredo and smoked salmon. All of the food melted in our mouths! Not only was the food great, Hawk's BBQ set everything up in a timely manner and made it easy for all involved. It was the perfect meal for the perfect day!
Hawk's BBQ also can deliver meals (or you can pick it up) to your homes and also you can find them in different locations through out Omaha. I highly recommend you follow his facebook page to see where they are serving. I have personally had their brisket, turkey, pulled pork, smoked chicken salad and ribs and they are all mouth watering delicious! We highly recommend them for your catering needs, I know we will be using them again! -

Extremely disappointed
We were extremely disappointed with our experience. From the moment they arrived, they complained about our venue and space, showed up without proper attire, and even helped themselves to our open bar. When it came time to serve food, they sat and watched guests go through the line rather than serving as agreed upon, and their behavior toward children and guests was shockingly rude, including yelling at kids. Many of our guests mentioned how uncomfortable the experience was. A wedding is supposed to be a joyful day, but their lack of professionalism and respect left us frustrated and embarrassed.Hawks BBQ & Catering's reply:
I am sorry you felt like we were unprofessional. It is not something am proud of or accept. And apologize for any issues this caused for your day. We must have had miscommunication on service. We always set up a buffet line and have guests serve themselves. I was just monitoring the line to make sure to refill items when they got low. As far as the children due to the small area we had to work they were consistency in our way while trying to breakdown service. I asked them multiple times to stop running through the kitchen. Again sorry. We will strive to be better. -
