The food was amazing and very reasonably priced! Tori was easy to work with to add some vegan options for a few guests. Everything went smooth. Tori even offered to add points (equaling the amount of our catering order) to my City Rewards account so we can save a lot of money on future orders - that was amazing!

I highly recommend using City BBQ for your wedding. Affordable (especially given inflation and the high cost of food nowadays), professional, timely, and most importantly, the food actually tasted GOOD. I had multiple wedding guests compliment the food at our wedding, admitting they had low expectations since "BBQ food at a wedding" didn't sound too exciting to them! But they raved about it afterwards. I also cannot recommend enough the Rustic Lemonade Stand. We had a lunchtime wedding and I honestly feel this is a MUST. Find the room in your budget. It is so cute and guests had such a good time, even the photographer and musicians enjoyed drinking the lemonade and tea! And they let us take any extra home!

The day of our wedding we had to move everything inside because of the rain. City BBQ was supposed to set up at 4:00 but guest were arriving at the same location because we were all in one building and it was one open room. They waited until happy hour to set up after the wedding ceremony. It was fantastic and worked out wonderful. Everyone talked about how fantastic the food was. Everything was perfect!

The delivery and setup was on time and done with the upmost professionalism despite the chaos occurring in the background as we were getting the wedding party fully situated into the AirBnB and acquainted with each other. The food was good. I had no complaints from anyone. Leftovers were plentiful (I tend to over-order) and fared well for the next day while the wedding party was getting ready.

We had family and friends coming in from out of town and knew we wanted to order BBQ for our rehearsal dinner. The website was easy, they followed up with a confirmation and then our caterer, Jacob, did a seamless job setting up at our venue, Jorgensen Farms...and brought everything that was needed so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. Literally no mess or fuss. Huge thank you to Jacob and the City BBQ Team!

We had a barn reception, and City Barbecue was the perfect fit. People couldn’t stop raving about the food. I knew the food would be good because I eat there all the time. What I didn’t anticipate was the over-the-top service. We were missing a few things at other tables we had set up around the barn, and the servers from City Barbecue supplied all the things we had missed - even though they had nothing to do with the food from the other stations. At one point the guy from City Barbecue asked me if they could help me out with anything else because they were all set up and had some free time. They were all wonderful. I can’t say enough about them. I’ve been a City Barbecue customer for years now. The reason I chose them was the consistently wonderful food and their amazing work ethic I saw when I came to their restaurants. The service was impeccable, speedy, delicious, and gracious. You can’t go wrong with them. Highly recommend!

City Barbeque catered our dinner rehearsal at our home and was so easy and friendly to work with. Our coordinator Tori was amazing and responsive throughout the whole process and was extremely helpful. The day of it was a breeze I literally had to do nothing. Harrison came in set everything up amazingly and made sure everything was labeled. The food was a huge hit and everyone enjoyed all the different options! Everything came with its own packaging, they provided everything down to silverware, napkins, and plates! I could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend City Barbeque for any catered event!

Richard and Carmen were excellent! They were quick in getting the food set up and restocking when things got low. Nothing ever ran completely out. They helped bus tables and cleaned up after themselves. We asked for them to pack up all the left overs and put it in one spot for our guests to take home. They asked us if we needed anything constantly. We will recommend the full service catering from City BBQ to anyone planning a wedding or a big event!

I can not say enough t positive things about our experience with City BBQ! From day one it was the easiest process working with them. We had our minds made up on the menu and we were encouraged to do a free tasting. We went and ended up changing the whole menu! Their smoked turkey and sausage were two things we were not planning on getting but once we tasted them we knew it was a must! Their quantity and quality of the food, especially for the price is unmatched. We got tons of positive feedback about the food and people loving it! I could not say enough great things. We received great service on both the catering and the business end. We also received points towards rewards with our catering order and have tons of free food now. 10/10 recommend!

City BBQ was a perfect choice for our wedding. We had a cocktail hour with appetizers of cheese and crackers, fresh fruit with dip and vegetables with dip. It was beautifully displayed and even though it was basic food it was set up to look very fancy. This was perfect for our mansion venue.
Our venue required that the caterers do all the set up and tear down. We had mismatched china that city bbq set on the tables for us. I had a bucket of left over greenery and flowers from the centerpieces that we made ourselves. The caterers took them and displayed them beautifully all over the food tables, gift tables and guest book tables.
The food was fabulous. People kept telling me they were so excited when they saw the City BBQ van parked outside the venue. They all said, “Finally some good wedding food”. The food was displayed in cast iron skillets. It looked very upscale.
The group who game to cater, were Ken, Christinna, Abby, Anna & Tori. They were all very professional and helpful. Tori coordinated everything. She first met with us for a tasting and gave us a cost estimate. She worked with us through email over the next few months as we made a few changes. She met with us at the venue a couple weeks before the wedding to go over the set up and lay out. She was so kind and calming as it gets stressful when the big day approaches. She assured me she had everything handled and she did!
After the bride and groom left they cleaned up and all our items were brought were handled with care and replaced in their boxes ready for us to carry home.
If you love good BBQ, you should definitely go with City BBQ. You will not be disappointed!
