We recently had B Fabulous Catering for our wedding this month and it was amazing and a seamless process. At the beginning of our planning, they invited us in for a buffet tasting of all of their food to find what was the best fit for us and our wedding. They have a wide variety of options that all taste amazing and of high quality. They had excellent communication all along the way. On the day of our wedding they were prepared, set up, tore down, and even packaged leftovers in containers for us. We as well as all of our guests were very pleased with how everything tasted. We highly recommend B Fabulous for anyone looking to book. They made it a smooth process that we didn't have to think or worry about.
We had an amazing experience with B Fabulous Catering. The staff is very professional and polite. They have a wide range of options for food and are willing to travel. They made planning and ordering easy. We were extremely happy with how the food for our wedding tasted and was presented. We had so many guest tell us how amazing the food was.
Food was fantastic and sooo many options to pick from! Survive was great and we didn’t have to worry about anything! I would 100% recommend them to anyone for catering!!
Any questions?
We could not have asked for a better experience with B Fabulous! They catered our wedding on 6/3/23 south of Des Moines, IA and we could not be happier that we chose them to cater our event. They hold wonderful tastings for their food, have a generous menu with lots of different options, as well as several different package options depending on how many dishes you want to serve. The owners are very kind and super easy to work with, and you can tell they really care about the service they provide. Communication was clear and consistent, and day-of was super easy as well. They are definitely a well-oiled machine and know how to handle a big event. We also received endless compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed dinner and all of the options offered. HIGHLY recommend checking them out for your wedding if you haven't already and getting them booked ASAP!
B Fabulous Catering was very easy to work with and they had great communication with us before the wedding. The food was delicious, and the staff was great.
We were absolutely happy with B Fabulous Catering! The food was so delicious and all the guests kept telling us how they loved it! They were also so helpful with helping put cupcakes out on display for us even though they weren't their cupcakes that they made. It saved us one little step. They were also amazing as they helped us out by getting their a little earlier so that my husband and I could enjoy eating in private together before the reception started!
They made the whole process super easy! We got to taste all the food we were interested in and even more that we weren't really sure about. All of their food was delicious and we wish we could have had all of it at our wedding. They delivered the food on time and everything was exactly as promised. I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion!
B Fabulous Catering & BBQ did a fantastic job at centering our wedding!! The food was delicious, they quickly answered any questions we had, and ensured everything went smoothly the day off. We received SO many compliments from our guests about both the quality of the food and the level of service provided. We highly recommend their services!!!
We selected B Fabulous Catering for our wedding and couldn't have chosen a better caterer! They were so easy to work with from the beginning and very professional. Their team was timely with set up and serving our guests. We received many compliments on how incredible the food was! Would definitely recommend them!
Food was great. Our guests loved their brisket. However I did have a few issues with them. As a bride, I wanted to accommodate my guests as much as possible, especially when it came to food. It was my understanding (& on my invoice) that my guests, who were vegan/vegetarian, were going to get a vegan burger AND a hearty salad. Unfortunately, that was not the case. They did not have the hearty salad and instead of an actual vegan burger, the “burger” was literally just plain vegan patty. When asked, they simply had forgotten the rest of the burger. And when asked about the salad, they said they didn’t have it, which wasn’t true because the day after when we went to go pick up the leftovers at the venue, the hearty salad was in the fridge in its original container with the dressing….
It was very sad, as the bride, to see my guests feel like they had no food options for them at my own wedding, even though we had planned on that. My bridesmaid, who was a vegan, had to reheat some leftovers she had from the night before because the patty was not filling enough for her. I felt extremely bad.
Additionally, some of the emails that were exchanged back and forth were not professional whatsoever. In some of the exchanges, they made me out to look like I didn’t know math.
Response from the Vendor on 11/20/2023
Dua, we are disappointed to hear that you were not satisfied with our service. It's always our process to leave the vegan and vegetarian options back in the kitchen so that other guests do not try to take them. We need those wanting the speci...
al option to ask, so that we can retrieve it for them. The staff said that no one asked for the salad or additional burgers. There must have been some miscommunication and I apologize for that. We certainly do not want anyone to be hungry especially when we had the food there.
They were very great to work with from the beginning. The communication was easy the invoice was clear and we were able to make the changes we needed as time went on and it got closer to the wedding date. But most important the food was delicious. Our wedding was a bit cold and windy but they had everything set up hot and easy for the guest to access. The quality was amazing for such a difficult day and I was definitely a full and happy bride.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
Service was great and service was even better. Would hire them again for big events. The owner was at our event and they specifically came to check on us!
The best of the best! Friendly and wonderful at what they do!
B Fabulous did an outstanding job at our wedding. They delivered for a high guest list and everyone raved about you great the food turned out. If you’re looking for a small town business who can deliver big town quality, then look no further! Plus, the pricing is spot on.
Response from the Vendor on 09/10/2023
Brett, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We appreciate you choosing us to be part of your fabulous day!
We had a change in vendor about 6 weeks before our wedding and B Fabulous was able to get everything prepared for us with no problem. They were very professional and made everything easy for us. The food was a hit with all of our guests and I would recommend to anyone!
We had B Fabulous at our wedding last weekend and the food was amazing! We had plenty to go around, and so many people got seconds! Would definitely recommend!!!
B Fabulous BBQ was amazing! They were efficient in setting up, tearing down, and the food was SO GOOD! We received so many compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed the food.
B Fabulous was very communicative and responsive. I was very pleased with their service and the food. I would highly recommend hiring them for your wedding!
We loved B Fabulous catering! They were on time (if not, early), they had great service and awesome food! The display of food was really good too. We had the perfect amount of food for our guests. We would definitely recommend them. The overall price of food was very affordable as well.
The food was delicious, and they are so responsive and understanding! I would definitely use them again for any event! My guests kept saying how delicious the food was, and there was no pulled pork left at the end of the night!
B Fabulous Catering is AMAZING! Deanna and Billy offer great customer service and are very helpful when planning a wedding dinner. All of our wedding guests raved about how great the food was. My husband and I loved the food when we had a tasting, and it was even better the day of our wedding. The caterers helping with our buffet at our wedding were very kind and kept a nice flow. I love that most of their food options are gluten free so we didn’t have to worry about our guests with allergies. The quality of food is outstanding and the price is affordable to work in to a wedding budget. My husband and I will recommend B Fabulous Catering to anyone we know getting married in the DSM area, and we will definitely be dining at their restaurant whenever we’re in the area!
So glad we picked B Fabulous catering. They were on time, set up quickly and did it without us even knowing they were there. The food was fabulous everyone loved it and raved how good it was. Definitely recommend them for any event. Our son’s wedding was great.
I do not recommend using bfab for catering. After booking for our wedding we read reviews online about portion sizes being off, which worried me so we chose to pay for extra portions ahead of time to mitigate, but they STILL ran out of both entrees before all the guests were through the line. And this was with bfab staff serving! I was devastated to hear some of our guests did not get served a main dish.
Bfab was also unable to meet my request to have one of the BBQ sauces we choose labeled as tomato free, so the father of the bride (who's allergic) wasn't sure which one was safe on the day of so he ended up going without sauce. He was the one who paid for the catering, so I found this very disappointing.
Food was okay, but no chance for seconds (or firsts, for some). Hopefully they figure out the portion sizing and are able to improve service.
Response from the Vendor on 07/25/2022
Laura, we absolutely apologize that the last part of your guests didn't receive the entree portion of the buffet. It's certainly just as frustrating to us as it is for you! We have been struggling this year especially with portion sizes and g...
uest expectations. It seems to be harder every year (we've been doing this 12 years!) to manage guest expectations. We want our buffet packages to be afforable to our clients, but that gets tricky when guests expect an "all you can eat" buffet. This is not an excuse, but an explanation.
Our staff person is trained to control portions, and it is possible that she overserved because she felt obligated by guests that were adamant about bigger portions. We never short our client on portions, so please know that you received everything you paid for per our contract.
As for the BBQ sauce, it was labeled when it left our location per your request. The extra label must have been lost/fell off. If he would have asked she could have told him which one was tomato free! I didn't realize this happened, I'm sorry!
B Fab BBQ was amazing, and I'd 10000% recommend them for any wedding or catering services. From communication, to pricing and food quality, all exceeded our expectations. We received nothing but endless comments from our guests stating how good the food was, even from those with dietary restrictions. Thank you for making our day so fabulous!!
We hired B Fabulous BBQ to cater our wedding rehearsal dinner and reception after finding them on The Knot. We were so impressed with their catering services! From the delicious food to the service they provided for our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, we would HIGHLY recommend B Fabulous BBQ for all of your catering needs!
Punctual, professional, tons of options, and absolutely delicious food. Would give 100 stars if I could. Loved the variety at such a reasonable price, and the food taste home-cooked but also had so much sophistication. We had 175 guests at our wedding and everyone RAVED about the food and service! Thank you, B Fab!
B Fabulous Catering did our wedding in June this year (2021). They did an outstanding job. Everyone loved the food. They were very professional and so awesome to work with. They always had great communication!
Great couple to work with. Booked immediately after the free tasting. Guests loved the food, so much variety.
We chose Ames as our destination for our daughter's wedding. It was a midpoint location for both families. Since we were not from this area, we looked into B Fabulous Catering from ratings on The Knot. We set up a time to do taste testing and to decide our menu which was great. We found them professional, efficient, easy to work with. I would recommend them for any event.
My husband and I had the best experience at our free tasting. We got to try so many different options that honestly it was hard to choose! Everything was delicious! We postponed our wedding reception due to Covid-19 and B Fabulous BBQ was extremely accommodating and flexible as we figured out how to change our plans. The food was a hit and most people went back for seconds! We wish we lived closer so we could eat there more often. But definitely the most affordable catering option we found! We didn't even look anywhere else. Highly recommend if you're in central Iowa!
B fabulous was great! They communicated well, were very flexible and super friendly. The food was delicious and not too terribly priced either. We did the buffet style and had bacon cheeseburger, Turkey, mashed potatoes and macaroni cheese corn all of it was amazing! Even had multiple people go up for seconds! If you’re looking for a BBQ themed caterer that’s fairly priced I recommend B-Fabulous!
The food and service was absolutely incredible! We got so many compliments on the food from our guests at our wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 09/27/2021
Thanks, Jennifer! And also thanks for introducing us to The Hive at Busy Bee! What a wonderful new venue - we thoroughly enjoyed the evening!
Deanna, Billy, and the rest of the B Fabulous staff provided us with exactly what we were looking for for our wedding. The service, promptness, and flexibility they demonstrated was unmatched. The amount of comments our guests had about the quality of food and how delicious everything was blew us away as much as the taste of the food. We chose the bbq beef, chicken, and veggie bow-tie pasta and all of them were a hit amongst all of our family and friends. I cannot recommend them enough for helping make our wedding night perfect.
We booked B Fab for our wedding after enjoying their food at a friends wedding. However, at our friends wedding and my own, they ran out of meat, despite us ordering for 160 guests when we only had 120 there. There is no reason meat should run out, ESPECIALLY as they have someone scooping it. Not sure if it’s a training error, but it would be beneficial for staff to only give out one piece of meat per guest, or make enough for the wedding size. As stated above we ordered food for 160 guests and only had 120 there, and we were sent home with 2 pieces of chicken breast and no pulled pork.
My other friend is getting married in the fall of next year and I recommended she choose somewhere else for their catering as BFABs numbers and calculations don’t correlate with food and guests. Staff was friendly, food was good and the process was ok, but I unfortunately would not recommend to anyone who’s looking for catering as you can’t rely on the quantity of meat you will get.
Response from the Vendor on 09/21/2021
Mikayla, we apologize that you didn't have many leftovers from your event, but as we said in our private conversation - we did bring all 160 portions that were paid for. All of your guests were able to get a portion of a main dish. We always ...
leave our buffet open after all guests have been served, so the reason there were so few leftovers, is because the guests took advantage of the extra portions available.
To all potential clients out there reading this review & response:
As you can imagine, planning quantities of food for a large event can be tricky, but it is our job and our clients depend on our experience to get it right. We can say with certainty over the past 11 years of catering hundreds of events, we've only missed the mark a handful of times. There are so many factors at play, but ultimately, it's our job to serve the main dish and control portions, even when 'hangry' guests get cranky with us.
Here's a couple of favorite quotes from guests in wedding lines: "I'm American. I can have as much f'in' food as I want." "I don't give a f**k about everyone else in line, I want 4 sandwiches." "Pile it on! I'll take two of everything."
We work hard to keep our prices competitive & affordable. Instead of raising prices for the few, we keep our buffet amounts conservative because that does accommodate the many. If you have more questions about our portion sizes and way that we serve them, please contact us directly! Thank you!
B Fab. was absolutely affordable and delicious. I got SO MANY compliments on our food that night, and several nights after. You definitely get the biggest bang for your buck here. They are also so awesome to work with and do whatever it takes to make the couple happy. They are extremely flexible, couldn’t have asked for a better caterer!!
They made everything so easy! The food was a big hit! Everything went off without a hitch. I would recommend B Fabulous BBQ to anyone planning a wedding.
B Fabulous Catering is amazing to work with. They were on time, professional, friendly and the experience was awesome. I highly recommend for any of your upcoming events.
I cannot say enough good things about B Fabulous Catering!! They went above and beyond with their service for us before and the day of our wedding! The food was AMAZING! We had so many people complimenting the dishes we chose!! Highly recommend!!
B Fab was AHHHMAZING!! Everyone ranted and raved about the bbq smoked chicken, the smoked chicken pasta and the pulled pork sandwiches! Working with them in the planning phase was so easy and pricing was very reasonable! I loved that we were able to have a tasting appointment at their restaurant with the owner and really make decisions based on our and our guests tastebuds! :)
They were definitely a huge part in our day going 100% perfect!
Such great service!! We highly recommend 😊
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2021
Thank you, Rachel! It was a pleasure working with you and your family again!
This place has some if the best food! We were so excited to find them for our wedding and knew we wanted them right away (and my husband can be picky). They were organized and answered all our questions.
When we had to postpone our wedding they were very wasy to work with! Later, we ended up canceling our wedding and B Fabulous was willing to give us our full deposit back.
I will reccomend both their catering and restaurant to anyone I know. They have amazing food and great customer service!
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2021
Thank you so kindly, Ashley! Covid made for a very difficult year for everyone. We are glad we were able to be accommodating to nearly all our clients!
We had the BEST experience working with B Fabulous Catering! Due to COVID we had to re-plan our whole wedding 6 weeks out, including finding a new caterer. They were absolutely amazing, extremely responsive, and very punctual. Not to mention their food was delicious!! I regret not filling my whole plate with their mac & cheese (my husband is still hearing about this). They were great to work with and very easy to get along with. With smiling faces their staff helped serve our guests to give them all the best experience possible. (And did I mention their mac & cheese?!) 10/10 recommend hiring B Fabulous Catering for all of your culinary needs for your event!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2021
Thank you, thank you, Kelsey! It was such a pleasure working with you also.
Deanna and Billy were great to work with. We had the smoked pork, herb chicken baby potatoes , cheesey mac and corn with mixed greens. Everything tasted wonderful, serving went quickly and was priced right. Would definitely have them cater again
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2021
Thanks, Karen! We appreciate your review. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you also!
I had B fabulous catering for my outdoor wedding. They were very nice to serve to us even though it was buffet style because of Covid. The food was amazing! My only con is that the staff was very rude and acted like they did not want to be there. Someone came to ask for seconds and they were told no even after everyone got their food. We had so much food at the end that we didn't know what to do with it. I wish they gave extra food for seconds if people wanted it.
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2020
Amanda, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm glad we were able to connect today on the phone about this. Certainly, it's our policy to allow guests to have as much food as they want, as long as the buffet is still open/a...
vailable and to leave any leftovers with you. We will be sure to address this again with our staff to avoid any further misunderstandings with guests.
Fantastic vendor with great food! We got so many compliments at our wedding and weeks afterwards! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2020
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We appreciate it!
Bfab has been a big part of my relationship with my husband - from first dates all the way to our wedding day. We love their food, their restaurant, and Deanna/Billy. We plan on being regulars for the rest of our lives and highly recommend them for your catering needs. Amazing food, great service, and awesome people!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2020
Oh, I just love this review! We feel so honored and humbled to be a part of all these parts of your lives. Best wishes to you and we'll see you around!
B-Fabulous was great and the food was delicious. The only reason they aren't getting a full 5 stars is because we felt there was some lack of communication. Other than that, they were awesome and I definitely recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2020
Thanks for your review, Micah! And again we apologize for the last minute communication. New venues do sometimes trip us up -- and we need to do better about figuring those things out sooner! We're glad it all worked out though!
I can’t say enough about Billy, Deanna and the whole B Fabulous team other than they are nothing short of FABULOUS! Their food was terrific ... but even better, Billy and Deanna helped our rescheduled wedding go off without a hitch in a few short weeks! Hire them... you will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2020
We certainly enjoyed working with you and glad that we were able to be part of the day at Prairie Moon!
The food is absolutely amazing!! My guests raved about how good it was for days after the wedding! My husband and I can’t wait to visit the restaurant for more of their food. It’s affordable and most importantly delicious!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2020
Thank you so much, Laura! We enjoyed working with you both too! You make our job that much more enjoyable! :)
We were able to customize our menu and even make changes along the way. We were nervous about having too much food left over, but they brought plenty! Everyone loved the food.
Response from the Vendor on 06/30/2020
Thanks, Nichole! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! So glad we were able to get the Leap Day weddings all done before COVID started. What a fun date to get married!
Catered my daughters wedding and these guys were awesome from the beginning! even started with taste testing, unlike another venue we checked out, Bill paid all attention to us, serving samples of all offered dishes. Guests were excited to hear BFabs was catering and they did not disappoint. the food was amazing and they did an awesome job serving! we were looking forward to leftovers, but the food was such a hit that there were very few leftovers! Would highly recommend them to anyone wanting an amazing meal at an amazing cost!
We are so glad we chose B-Fabs to cater our wedding. From the tasting, to the event itself the staff was professional and very helpful in answering any of our questions. They are also very reasonably priced, which is always a bonus!
B Fab knocks it out of the park! Their food was amazing... we heard tons of compliments! The staff was professional, very accommodating and extremely friendly! We highly recommend B Fab Catering!! We Will definitely use them again!
Deanna and billy are so great to work with and the food is truly fabulous! Not to mention the pricing is VERY reasonable. We have hired Deanna and Billy for two weddings and have had great experiences each time. They truly will work with you and want you happy with everything. Wedding guests always rave about how great the food is. We know how great they are to work with and that’s what keeps us going back. Thank you B Fabulous!
They were quick to respond, worked with different demands we asked of them and the food is absolutely delicious. We had veggie bow tie pasta (for my veggie friends), Chicken alfredo, cheesy mashed potatoes, greens with really yummy ranch and dinner rolls. They were able to supply a dinner for gluten intolerant and dairy intolerant family members. I intend to go back every so often to get the Chicken Alfredo. It was so delicious and heats up really well after. We ended up with a lot left over so let us they put the food into containers for us to take home.
Billy and Deanna are perfect to go to for your wedding!
They take forever to respond to catering inquiry’s and I wouldn’t waste the time because the meat is dry and mediocre. Go anywhere else.
Response from the Vendor on 06/30/2020
This potential client apologized to us for her bad review and behavior, but did not take the time to remove it. We take pride in quick responses (within 24 hrs whenever possible) to all our inquiries, emails and phone calls. We understand tha...
t planning a wedding can be stressful, and we work very hard to minimize that stress for our clients.
B Fabulous BBQ & Catering was absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with and promptly answered my emails, and were very flexible when setting up our tasting. The food was delicious, we had pulled pork and smoked turkey, tri pasta salad, Mac and corn casserole and baked beans. We had a lot of compliments on the food from our wedding guests. I highly recommend them for your big event!
From the initial tasting, to the planning, to the final arrangements, to the night of the event Billy and his staff were professional, engaging, and helpful. They always responded to us quickly. We had The Flashy package with 3 main dishes and 4 side dishes. The main dishes were smoked brisket, baked chicken, and chicken breast w/ herbed cream sauce. The side were herbed green beans, cheesy mashed potato casserole, mac and cheese corn, and broccoli salad. The food was amazing! The guests were raving about it, especially the chicken breast with herbed cream sauce! We would use them again, no doubt! Thanks again, Billy and Deanna, for making the occasion even more memorable!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2019
Thanks, Scott! We feel very honored to have been chosen to be part of your daughter's wedding day! It's special every time we are a part of a wedding, but the "cherry on top" when its people we know and love!
B Fabulous did the catering for our September 28th Wedding. The staff was a pleasure to deal with and the food was incredible! Our guests are all talking about the mac and cheese corn!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2019
Thank you, Norah! We are glad that everything at the venue went smoothly and your guests enjoyed their food! Our staff thoroughly enjoyed serving you & your guests.
We chose B Fabulous because it was so affordable and were very pleased with their service. We sat down for a tasting, chose the meal, paid the bill, and they did the rest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Had many guests compliment the food.
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2019
Thank you for your quick review -- you just were married! :) So glad that everything was just perfect!
So delicious! Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about the corn Mac and cheese for weeks after the big day!
Great food!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2019
That Mac & Corn continues to be a hit, even 10 years on the menu :) Thanks, Jazmine!
We were sold on the first bite. We couldn’t have chosen a better caterer for our wedding. Simply put, B Fabulous BBQ is incredible! We were on a budget since we were planning an out-of-state wedding, but we knew we had to have BBQ. We searched the best reviewed BBQ caterers in the area and there was B Fabulous. It feels like fate that we found them because we couldn’t be more happy with everything. The whole process - from the taste test to the discussions about the menu to the actual dinner - was nothing short of amazing. Billy and Deanna are the kindest people you will ever meet. They made the whole process stress-free and practically seamless. They were patient with our menu changes and quick to respond to all of our questions. The taste test was one of the best parts because we were able to sample the whole menu! It gave us so many options that we struggled to choose our favorites. In the end, we decided on the pulled pork, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, Mac n Corn , and salad. Everyone LOVED everything! They’re still talking about it and we’re still craving the Mac n corn. We can’t wait for our next trip to Iowa so we can stop in for lunch. :) Whether you’re planning a wedding or other event, I truly can’t recommend B Fabulous enough. They’re a family run business and they’re truly the best people who make the best BBQ!
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2018
Alyssa, thank you so much for this kind and thorough review! We appreciate it so much. You chose a great menu that are certainly crowd favorites. Thank you for including us in your very important day.
REALLY excellent food for our wedding reception! Several comments from guests - and great service from Deanna and Billy! We couldn't have been happier with our choice!!!
We had such a great time with B Fabulous BBQ and catering. They were professional and so kind in working with us. They were prompt and on-time!
B Fabulous BBQ and Catering was amazing to work with and made our wedding day a hassle free experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and we are still receiving complements about it from our friends and family. The entire process, from receiving a quote to the day of the event was streamlined and professional, and I would highly recommend B Fabulous BBQ for a wedding or any other event.
Very professional! Every food item there was delicious. Almost every guest commented on how great it was. B Fabulous knows what they are doing. From the initial tasting to the serving at the wedding, Fab is on top of things and will not disappoint.
They were easy to work with, professional, food was great. Had a lot of compliments!
B Fabulous BBQ and Catering did the most amazing job for us! The service was great and the food was even better! The motto stands true - everything is greater in Slater.
We loved working with Deanna and Billy. During the planning process, they were nice and quick to answer my million questions. At the reception, their staff were very nice and helpful as well. The food was amazing and several people asked where the food was from.
We had a great experience with B Fabulous BBQ & Catering! They were very accommodating towards our needs and our small guest list. Quick to respond and answer all my questions! The food was amazing and everyone at my wedding really enjoyed it.
Deanna and Billy were awesome to work with! They were very responsive to emails and questions, and their online invoicing made staying on track a breeze. The FOOD. I can't stress how amazing the food is. I heard nothing but raving reviews from guests at our dinner. My photographer even said that through her 26 weddings that season, B-Fabulous had the best brisket and I completely believe it! We also had smoked pork loin, green bean casserole, mashed potato casserole (basically the inside of a twice baked potato), Italian/balsamic pasta salad (on of my favorite pasta salads ever), and corn bread muffins. We over estimated on food but I wasn't complaining at all! We had yummy leftovers for a week and a half and I never got tired of it. That is a true sign of hands down delicious food if you ask me. Would highly recommend!
B Fabulous BBQ was AMAZING from start to finish. Not only was the food amazing, we received several compliments, but their service too. They were on top of everything, I didn’t have to worry. They were one of my only venders to reach out to me throughout to check in instead of me trying to confirm they still have me down. This was huge, it’s a huge stress when venders are hard to get a hold of. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for incredible food and a great experience.
The food was absolutely amazing, all of our guests thought we were kidding when we said it was the best BBQ they would ever had. We had family from all over the Midwest and couldn’t believe how good the brisket was. They were so helpful and easy to do business with. They are great people with exceptional food!
B Fabulous BBQ catered on wedding in September and just like their name they were "fabulous"!! Billy was so enjoyable to work with from the tasting through delivering the food himself--he was actually the only vendor who actually took the time to stop and congratulate us on our day . We got SO many compliments on the food and there was even some leftover for us to enjoy at home since we were so busy day-of we didn't get to eat as much as we would have liked to! Highly recommend!
Great food, great people, and great prices! If your looking for fantastic BBQ food for your event they are the place to book!! We still are talking about our food at the wedding!! Everyone loved it!!
B Fabulous catering could not have been more perfect for our big day. They were amazing to work with, so quick to respond and nice. Also of course the big thing was the food was phenomenal. Some of the best BBQ food we've ever had. They also have so many great options to choose from. It was literally the best wedding food we could have asked for and best we've ever had!!
B Fabulous was amazing! So easy to work with and the food was delicious! We are so happy that we went with them and they made everything so easy. Not to mention people still talk about the food we had at our wedding and how good it was!
We had them cater our wedding on August 25, 2018. The food and service was excellent. We highly recommend you check out their menu and consider them for your wedding day!
They did catering for my wedding and did a great job!! The food was absolutely amazing and we received so many compliments throughout the night on how good the food was!! They stayed and served the meat in the buffet line and then allowed people to get seconds before picking it all up for us and leaving! Great people to work with! I would highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience with Billy and Deanna! They both came to help serve at the wedding and everyone loved the food! So good and so affordable! Our guests especially loved the mac and cheese corn! Thank you both!!!
B Fab BBQ catered our wedding and did an amazing job. Everyone loved it, especially the bride :)
B Fabulous BBQ embodies the word fabulous in everything they do! My husband and I had B Fabulous BBQ cater our wedding in 2015 and it was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning experience. It was really important to us to find a gay friendly, strong community focused business to have cater our wedding and B Fabulous BBQ is exactly that. Billy and Deanna are two of the nicest and hardest working people we met during our wedding planning experience. They were super accommodating to all of our requests and took time to get to know us as a couple. During our wedding day, everything went so smoothly and that is all thanks to B Fabulous BBQ. I heard so many positive comments from our guests about how friendly the service was during our wedding. In addition to reliable, friendly service, the food is amazing! We got a few smoked meats with BBQ sauce and a few hot sides. The food was such a hit with guests that they were eating the left overs later that evening because they couldn’t get enough. I can’t recommend B Fabulous BBQ enough. Choosing them supports local business and you can depend on them to deliver an amazing meal for your big day!
Our wedding was a super small affair (~50 people to feed), and everything was perfect, but our family is still taking about the fried chicken, Mac and cheese corn, and veggie bowtie pasta. They were great caterers, extremely friendly, and it gave our wedding reception something extra that most people don't. I love steak, baked chicken, and roast beef as much as the next guy, but I've never had better fried chicken in my life and having it on my wedding day was the absolute best. On top of it all, we saved a ton of money on food because they charged way less than any of the other caterers that we looked at. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
B Fabulous BBQ was an awesome caterer for our wedding! Their pricing is reasonable and their food is superb! They delivered and set up without a hitch. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
We absolutely loved our service and food from BFabulous! They were on-time, food was fantastically prepared, and service was wonderful! We would definitely recommend their food and service to anyone. Not only are they affordable, their food is down to earth and delicious! Absolutely best decision!
I loved B Fabulous! They were one of my favorite vendors by far! I wanted delicious, but simple food and they provided it with perfection. There was a blizzard on the day of our wedding, but they arrived on time with the food hot. I highly recommend them.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review! I'm not sure what happened with the serve time... it must have been a miscommunication. We certainly make every priority to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the serve time stated on your invoice...
. I don't recall now what time we arrived, but if our serve time was different than your schedule, it's important that we know. We hope you and your guests enjoyed your meal and had a memorable day with the snowy weather! I do remember that!
I love this caterer!! They have it all!
1. Great food! (Amazing selection!)
2. Great service!
3. They were very accommodating! (I had to make a last minute change and they were so gracious about it!)
4. Great people skills!
5. Great staff!
6. Great prices!
I would recommend them to anyone who wants a stress free environment and awesome food at their wedding!

Thank you for taking the time to share this information! We enjoyed working with you too!
The food was delicious and extremely reasonably priced! The owners were so easy to work with and accommodating, including helping me navigate what our guests with various dietary needs could eat! They went above and beyond to help make our guests feel cared for.

Thanks for taking the time to post your experience! It was an honor to be part of your day.
B Fabulous BBQ served wonderful food at my wedding. They were flexible and very happy to help me with anything I needed. I forgot last minute to order a gluten-free meal and they had everything under control. The food is amazing (and reasonably priced) and the people are very nice. Not only do I recommend eating at their restaurant, I highly recommend using them for catering!

Thanks, Logan! We appreciate your time in putting in a review.
They were the cheapest caterer we could find which worried me. Going in for our tasting I saw their little restaurant which worried me even more cuz they are just a little whole in the wall, But they are seriously the most delicious food I have ever eaten!! I wish I lived in Iowa just so I could eat there everyday! Everyone was raving about the food and going back for fourths and fifths. Plus Billy and Deana were both very nice and professional while still being totally normal approachable people. She showed up and set up and stayed and served everyone and they even gave us endorsed gifts which I don't know if thats the usual thing or not. I only had one problem with them and that was that I felt like they were using my wedding as an advertising opportunity. I had already told everyone about them and I would've given their name out to any guest who needed it but they brought along a stack of mini flyers and business cards that were then left behind for our guests to take, but what really happened was that there was more mess for us to clean up at the end of the night. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a caterer.

We certainly do try to keep our prices competitive! We believe customers can have fabulous food without paying out all their hard earned dollars! Also, I apologize for the brochures and cards being left for you to pick up, I was actually leav...
ing them for the event venue. Thanks again for choosing us to be part of your special day!
You guys were amazing!!! The food was delicious, service was excellent, and the pricing extremely reasonable. If you're looking for some delicious bbq you could not ask for more. The best!!!

Thank you for taking the time to post your review! We were honored to be part of your fabulous day!
B Fabulous BBQ
The food that they brought was delicious. They also helped us by providing chips and homemade salsa for the cocktail hour and they cut the sheet cake for us. Everyone really enjoyed the food! I would highly recommend using B Fabulous as they did a great job!
I was the Wedding Planner/Coordinator for this wedding and B Fabulous was fantastic. Easy to work with, accommodating, and the food was excellent.
If you're looking for delicious local BBQ for your catering, they are the vendor for YOU!
The grooms and guests enjoyed the food very much.
Thank you for everything, you made the wedding a huge success! :)
The food was FABULOUS and affordable! In addition to that Billy and Deanna went above and beyond and catered to anything we asked of them (bartend, wait tables, bring a cork screw), everything! Could not have asked for anything better!
We hired B Fabulous to do our wedding. They were exactly what we were looking for, in fact, they were beyond our expectations. We loved everything about it and our guests were obsessed with the Mac&Cheese Corn. They were very easy to get in touch with and they always responded quickly! I highly suggest B Fabulous!
Billy and Deanna are simply amazing. They were so nice and did everything we asked without batting an eye. The guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. They even helped my assistant get ready for the reception to start - lighting candles and just being all around really nice and polite to all our guests while maintaining the professionalism. If you book them for your wedding I know they will make sure they are a part of why your day goes well :)
We worked with Billy at B Fabulous on a custom dinner for our barn wedding. The food was amazing and was within our budget. The service during the entire process was incredible. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding.
B Fab was amazing to work with! They were always easy to contact and had great communication throughout the whole planning & day! They NEVER had us confused with someone else or had our order "screwed up"... as I found many vendors seem to do...
Many of our guests commented how wonderful the food was at our reception! I would consider myself a "Texas brisket" connoisseur, and my fiance & I tried many different BBQ caterers throughout the Midwest when planning our wedding. B Fab is hands down the best BBQ caterer in the Midwest! They also were one of the only places to offer 3 sides, 2 meats, salad, and cornbread muffins for under $10/person! We also had guests raving about the cornbread muffins and even the hotdogs (which had actually been brought for the kids-- but the adults loved them too!) Broccoli salad and mashed potatoes were also delicious! I have eaten at B Fab in the restaurant in Huxley several times, and have never had a bad meal!
Both owners even stayed & served people as they went through the line! B Fab also went above and beyond "a normal caterer" because they cut & served our wedding cake for us (which of course was brought by another vendor)! We can't say enough about how great B Fab is!
Thank you B Fab for everything you did to make our wedding reception meal absolutely delicious!
We chose B Fabulous BBQ because my husband and I wanted a meal that screamed IOWA. We had friends/family visiting from Mexico, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and many other states. We couldn't have been happier. People are still talking about the food and how delicious it was and its been almost one year since our wedding. We made sure we chose 2 different kind of meats with 3 sides (choices for everyone). We also had B Fabulous do something out of the ordinary for our appetizers (Homemade Guacamole and Pico de gallo and chips/salsa) and it was a success. Again, many compliments from everyone. I will definitely have B Fabulous cater another event for me and recomment them to family and friends. Thank you B Fabulous for making our wedding day special. The service was phenomenal and the pricing was definitely in our wedding budget.
