Fat Bobs was a great vendor to work with. Ashley and the catering team are incredibly responsive and helpful in pulling everything together for the day. Our guests raved about th...
e quality of the food and we had plenty left over after that they packed up for us to take home. They even came over to my husband and I during the reception and made sure that we were set up with our meals and brought over a plate of the passed apps before opening service up to everyone else.
I think the one caveat was that the appetizer table with the meat/cheese and veggie spread was not as robust as we would've expected as there we only a few small plates available for a large amount of guests. We also had mixed feedback on whether guests saw/ got any of the passed appetizers being passed by the staff during cocktail hour.
In regards to food quality and ease of working with, we highly recommend them.
Out of all our vendors, Fat Bob’s was the easiest to work with. The website was straightforward, communication was really efficient. Ashley always answered any questions and we fel...
t very secure in our choice to book with Fat Bob’s. The tasting was about a great experience, pricing was reasonable but most of all our guests raved over our food. All in all, a wonderful experience.
Perfect vendor! Supplied both food and alcohol for the wedding. Not one complaint on the food or service. We served the food buffet style and they made everything run smoothly and ...
very quickly. They do have vegetarian and gluten free options and everything was marked clearly. They also made a separate pan of gluten free Mac and Cheese for my family and a few guests which was amazing! Highly recommend!
I would only recommend Fat Bob's for your wedding food! Throughout the entire planning process, they were incredibly helpful. We changed our menu at least 5 times and they were alw...
ays so accommodating. The pulled pork and chicken were some of the best I'd ever had and people went back for multiple plates of their mac and cheese. This food is perfect for anyone - whether you're having a backyard wedding or fancier event like we did. Our guests from out of state even went to fat bobs for lunch the next day because they loved it so much. If you want great service and even better food, hire fat bobs!
Fat Bobs was amazing from start to finish! Bridget was so great to work with! After our first sit down with her at the restaurant we knew everything was going to be perfect! The fo...
od was great and the service was even better! Bridget even held my plate and went through the line with me so I wouldn’t spill on my dress! She consistently checked on us throughout dinner to make sure everything was going well! I have to admit I usually don’t eat much at weddings, but I ate a lot! So much in fact that I had to change out of my dress early bc I was so full and it was really tight! Haha oops! Multiple of our guests also told us that it was the best wedding food they have had! We highly recommend booking with Fat Bobs if you want delicious BBQ/ southern style food at your wedding!
We cannot rave enough about fat bobs! When my husband and I were first looking at venues every single one recommended fat bobs. We were really uncertain, but after meeting with Bri...
dget and trying the food we were sold! Our guests were so pleasantly surprised! The service was amazing, and Bridget really goes above and beyond to make everything seamless.
Our fall themed wedding was casual and fun. I really wanted bbq (pulled pork & macaroni and cheese in particular). They were very easy to work with and now almost a month later peo...
ple are talking about how great the chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens, etc. were. It was very inexpensive and a great option if you can bring in your own caterer. They also offer decent liquor packages but we didn't go with them because we had the option of bringing in our own.
