What praises CAN'T I sing about Deep Run Roadhouse?! They were PHENOMENAL, and even a month after our Oct 2025 wedding, we are still getting compliments from our wedding guests abo...
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.

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.

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.
