From the first tasting, Deep Run Roadhouse was phenomenal to work with! They were so helpful in terms of selecting the right food for our guests. They provided documentation outlining ingredients within their dishes to ensure guests with food allergies were accommodated and could enjoy their food safely on our wedding day. After booking with them, they followed up multiple times to ensure they understood the vision for our big day and answered any questions we had throughout the planning process. A few months prior to the wedding, they initiated multiple calls to review our order and plan for the wedding day. They ensured everything ran smoothly for our dinner and our guests said the food was a highlight of the day! Booking Deep Run Roadhouse was truly the best decision- we knew we didn’t have to worry about a thing once dinner came around. We recommend Deep Run Roadhouse to anyone who will listen!

Deep Run Roadhouse Catering was truly so amazing for our rehearsal dinner! Our rehearsal dinner was at Seven Springs on May 1, 2026, and everything about our food was a dream come ...

true. During the planning process, Deep Run Roadhouse was always available to help us answer questions, and they were so helpful in making sure that we got just the right amount of food for our guests. Additionally, it was so great that were were able to bring our own alcohol to the rehearsal dinner and just hire the DRR Catering bartending staff. The staff who helped us that night were also so friendly, warm, professional, and helpful, and everything went off without a hitch because of them! Also, this review wouldn't be complete without us RAVING about the food, which our guests still do three months later! We opted for the pulled pork barbecue and the wings, and it was DELICIOUS. We also had rope sausage and veggie appetizers while we were rehearsing, which prevented anyone from getting hangry. Nobody went hungry at our rehearsal dinner, and everyone got piping hot, scrumptious food. The buffet line was also speedy, so everyone got dinner and finished dinner around the same time. We truly cannot say enough nice things about Deep Run Roadhouse Catering, and for any brides or grooms in the Richmond, VA, area who are getting married, you HAVE to consider booking with Deep Run Roadhouse!

m with every food option possible, which was both incredibly fun and delicious. The entire process was seamless, from the initial planning and phone calls right down to the delivery. Most importantly, the food was absolutely incredible; so many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! They were also incredibly accommodating with dietary restrictions—we had guests with nut allergies and gluten intolerances who were still able to enjoy a full, delicious plate of food. Every single plate was full at the beginning of the night and wiped clean by the end. What more could you ask for? If you want to actually eat and enjoy your own wedding meal, absolutely hire Deep Run Roadhouse. Thank you so much!

p Run for lunch and dinner soon. We were also so impressed with their professionalism and all the extra touches they provided. They took out the trash, bused tables, and even brought the bride and groom's plates directly to us so we didn't have to go through the line. Everything was seamless and stress-free. We would highly recommend Deep Run Roadhouse for any event!!

crowd pleaser at a wedding event and deep runs food definitely hit that mark- I had so many guests tell me how good the food was, even weeks after! Their service and attention to detail was so helpful. They learned all the details of set up and clean up making our night easy to just go. They do not only cater food, but they bartend, help set up and clean up, and make the experience for the couple special. I really appreciated all the hard work this team put into our day for an affordable and reasonable price, amazing food and options, and spectacular service. I definitely recommend deep run if you are looking for a fulfilling dinner for your guests to rave about and have a trusted team to make your night go smoothly!

updating our order quickly each time we talked. They contacted us several times to make sure we were always on the same page. They thought of all of the details that we didn’t even know to ask about. They provided a free tasting, which included nearly everything on their menu. Four of us made a full meal out of that tasting. And the room where they held the tasting was nicely arranged and decorated for a pleasant evening. The catering group clearly has a great process for communicating with each other about the events they are catering because we never had to explain our situation to anyone when we called with questions or updates. No matter who we talked to, they were always right on top of the plan and immediately knew what we were talking about, even though we were planning an unusual schedule. The staff who served on the night of the event were so pleasant and efficient. We never had to follow up on anything the entire night. All of the guests raved about the food. And, of course, the price is so reasonable. An absolute pleasure to work with them!

Deep Run was amazing and went above and beyond at my wedding in Dinwiddie. They reached out multiple times before my wedding to make sure we were on the same page. They arrived on ...

time, cut the cake, and cleaned up after the wedding. We had the brisket, pulled pork, both types of macaroni and cheese, collard greens, southwest coleslaw and baked beans. Everything was delicious, but people continue to rave about the brisket and the cherry bourbon wings that we had for cocktail hour. I would choose them again and again!

ut the quality of the food and service we received from Deep Run Roadhouse (and this is coming from many guests who have grown up eating southern BBQ). The BBQ buffet we ordered, which included pulled pork and chicken and brisket and more, was an absolute 10/10 and no one left our wedding hungry. We also ordered appetizers including the cheese and meat platters for our cocktail hour, which was perfect for what we needed. Not only was the food itself delicious, but the service from Deep Run Roadhouse was unmatched. They went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I and our guests had a great experience by constantly clearing plates, helping with clean up, and also ensuring my husband and I never went hungry or without a drink for too long. Before our wedding, they were great with communication to ensure we had a plan for just about everything leading up to the big day, and also offered a wonderful taste testing experience so we could nail down our menu. If you're debating about whether or not to hire Deep Run Roadhouse for your wedding, I can say with full confidence that hiring them was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. We're even planning on having Deep Run Roadhouse for our one year anniversary in Oct 2026 :) Thank you again to the wonderful staff of Deep Run Roadhouse for making our wedding day run so smoothly!

helpful and reliable. Our whole wedding day ran super smoothly and DRR not only helped with catering but provided a full set-up and breakdown of our venue--eliminating a lot of potential stress. Something that was really special about DRR was that they also packaged up leftovers for my husband and I to take with us that night so we could eat after the wedding too!

ting at deep run roadhouse. (You aren’t able to try everything at the tasting) the foods I wanted for the wedding weren’t on the tasting menu of course. So we ordered a special tasting si we could try the foods we wanted. Everything turned out delicious though. We had grilled chicken and salmon with a chimichurri sauce. Mashed potatoes, vegetable medley, jalapeño Mac n cheese, and regular mac n cheese. The staff was very professional and efficient. They were very kind to our guests and they also cut the cake.

opinion it just legitimately was some of the best BBQ either of us has ever had. As good as the food was the service was even better, our main points of contact were Annabelle and Emerson who were always very professional, responsive and easy to work with. Unfortunately we did not get any other names of the team of people who worked our wedding but the same can be said for each and every one of them. Big thanks to everyone who helped us make our special day that much more special.

Emma

was. We felt so taken care of and the service provided so much peace of mind on a busy day! We appreciate the team going above and beyond. It was a pleasure to work with the company and team. I’ve worked in the wedding industry for almost a decade and have rarely witnessed a catering company hitting every detail and working so professionally. Everything was prepared perfectly, set up beautifully, and wrapped and cleaned up to perfection! We look forward to working with DRR in the future and will be recommending to anyone in need of catering, or just a wonderful meal!

ion was always clear and prompt. We ordered full-service catering and the buffet presentation looked great, the staff were friendly and helpful, they posted helpful allergen information, and of course it was super tasty! Probably even better than at our tasting. They also made sure my husband and I got some of our appetizers during cocktail hour, and made honeymoon plates for us, for the next day. I saw several of my guests go back for seconds, and a number of them told my family members that they absolutely loved the BBQ (and that's saying a lot, because I have friends and family who like to experiment with smoking their own meat). I highly recommend considering Deep Run Roadhouse if you want a stress-free catering service with crowd-pleasing food.

n the rest be packaged well for transport by one of our guests. Seemed like everyone was in a hurry to get it done that they didn’t individually package ours and then when one of the groomsman went to try to fix the problem we also didn’t get ice to go in the cooler resulting in our leftovers not being good for the honeymoon. Luckily we had leftovers from our guest when we got back from the honeymoon though.

ur and reception was so kind, and we kept getting compliments all night about how professional they were from our guests. Additionally, they knew how to make a couple feel special on their big day. They did not over-serve or under-serve our guests, either food or drinks, and they packaged any leftovers for us to neatly put away in our vehicles at the night's end. I cannot recommend Deep Run enough if you want a caterer for your big day and love BBQ. Lastly, their prices are very affordable for couples on a tight budget; you will not cut any corners with this caterer as they ensure that everything is beautifully plated, showcased, and served.

They made sure our plates made it out to us right when we sat down and the team packed away all our leftovers perfectly preserved for us to take home. Everyone was so friendly too and the guests loved them! Would hire again for other events, but they are excellent and perfect for a wedding.
