Thank you Emily! We appreciate you letting us be a part of such a beautiful event! Congratulations!! -Amanda
City Barbeque (I worked with Allison) was the easiest vendor to work with. She would email me back within minutes of my email and was very clear with instructions. I never once had to worry about them not being there on time and they came durin...
g a pretty intense snow storm. I didn't even have to think about them on the day of the wedding - they were there, they set up, and took down without me even thinking about it - and left the leftovers in the fridge. Not only were they easy to work with, but everyone complimented the food. Food tasting good was the least of my concerns, but the more positive feedback I get on them, the more impressive it was. If you're looking for quality barbecue, attention to detail, easiness to work with, and friendliness from the staff - look no further than here. They were definitely one of the best decisions I made that day! Thank you so much Allison and the rest of City Barbecue stuff ❤️
We loved working with Allison at City BBQ - she was wonderful! Great & fast communication, and willing to work with us to make our vision a reality. City BBQ has great food, and we got several compliments from our guests!
I did not give 5 star...
s because we did have a few issues at the wedding - the company had a mix up and did not provide a carving station that we had in our contract, and the on-site staff was not kind to my husband when he tried to talk to them about it. With that being said, after the wedding, Allison was amazing and worked with us to give us a monetary compensation for their mix up (as we paid for a service that we were not provided), but I was really put off by how the on-site staff treated my husband at our own wedding. I would still recommend City BBQ - as the food was amazing, and Allison is the best, but if I could do it again, I would double check that everything in our contract is what they were planning to provide the day of.
Any questions?
We worked with Allison who organized the catering for us and she was so great to work with! She communicates with you every step of the way and there were no surprises in cost. We did the buffet style and it worked out perfectly, the set up was...
very nice. The food was amazing, we had many compliments! I was a bride on a budget and for the price, can't be beat! The staff were so accommodating with making sure everything was set up and torn down on time. If you're looking for good food at a reasonable price, City BBQ is where it's at!

make sense for us.
The staff that came to the wedding was marvelous! They went well above their duties! They did tasks that were out of their scope. Tended to details that were not their obligations! They were phenomenal!!!! We had a lot of people who were very nervous about covid even being an outdoor venue and the staff wore masks the whole time even though it was outdoors. Super accommodating!!!! Love them and appreciate them! Could not recommend more!!!!
Do yourself a favor and hire City BBQ. Delicious and phenomenal staff!
I don’t think we could of asked for a more perfect day!! Everything was amazing!!!
I wanted you to know how awesome the food and service were!!!!!!!!!!! Your team did an amazing job. They were kind and so helpful. Walked around and made sure ...
the guests were ok and asked if they liked the food. And the food, well, that was INCREDIBLE!!!! We received so many compliments on it!! A few guests even asked for your card! They cleared the tables promptly and did a wonderful job cleaning up! You were by far the best vendor I worked with. Thank you for your great communication and help through the whole process. Allison was amazing with answering emails promptly and helping us decide what would be best for us. It was the best day ever!!!
Please thank your team for us!! Fantastic job!!
City Barbeque is amazing. We especially loved working with our catering specialist, Allison. She was absolutely incredible and put in a lot of time and energy for us. We probably exchanged between 70 and 100 emails over the course of my enga...
gement and I don't think she ever replied more than 1 business day later. Allison is willing to put in the time and energy to make sure that you get what you want. Allison is also remarkably friendly and genuine. You can tell that she enjoys making her clients happy. S+ vendor.
The food at City Barbeque was absolutely amazing and many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they enjoyed it. We also thought that this restaurant provided unbelievable value in their packages. Their cancellation policy is also extremely generous (so it is no risk, but if you book them you won't want to cancel). You should definitely book City Barbeque if you are thinking about a BBQ wedding, it's honestly a no-brainer with delicious food like this coupled with astonishing service and fantastic rates.
