Kool Daddy's BBQ

n making sure everything was heard in our wants/needs to ensure our big day went smoothly! We had our taste testing with her and still felt like our decision was made correctly. However, when we were a few months out I realized I had not heard from our caterer in awhile. So I reached out and found out that Brittany was no longer with the vendor and she told me who I should reach out to... I contacted the owner who told me they sent out a massive email in regards to Brittany leaving and who the contacts moving forward would be.. I looked all over my email & junk folder and never got one. Would have been curious to see if someone would have ever reached out to me if I didn't. I was given a new contact that works with the vendor and will leave her name unnamed. But with this new contact we weren't given the same care as we did before. We asked her opinion on how much alcohol we should order based on our number of attendees, it was way under than what we actually bought (and if we went with her estimate, we would have ran out of alcohol), I would text her and ask questions regarding bar packages and pricing and she would run around giving me different numbers and always seemed confused on who she was talking with. It just seemed as if the communication that was there before was not up to par with the new contact. The other thing that made it 3 stars was that I was told the caterers would arrive one hour before the ceremony and they ended up being almost 30 minutes late and WE had to contact them to ask where they were at instead of getting a message letting us know that they would be a bit late. Lastly, we heard some feedback from our guests that some of their chicken was undercooked and wasn't able to be eaten... Although there were several bumps on the wedding day, I will say the staff that they sent over were amazing. They were sweet and as accommodating as they could be! Overall, I didn't want to give a poor score because of the recent experience but wanted to incorporate the first portion of our experience with this caterer. Hopefully, for the future events the help will be a better experience for you than it was with us.

verything we tasted and narrowing it down for the wedding was hard! The extra special reason we love Kool Daddy's so much, is Melissa. She is the kindest, sweetest, most helpful person. She became a second mom during the wedding planning process and made sure I never had to stress about the catering. She made sure my husband and I were well taken care of the whole reception!

work very hard. I wanted to give 4/5 just because of a few things, on the final confirmation document there was a salad with dressing listed which we never asked for but I thought since it was listed, maybe it was just included with the bbq- anyway, there was no salad. Chef Mike was sweet and did our tasting- he said he would be there at our wedding but ended up not being there, my husband was disappointed there. I felt like I was the one reaching out a lot of the time to get details, final lists, etc. As a bride I felt like it should be the other way around. Lastly, originally at our tasting we talked about the buffet table being set up a certain way with certain serving dishes etc. and that was not used. This could have been due to COVID but I wasn't made aware of the change ahead of time. We had pulled pork, chicken, mac, green beans, and corn pudding- everything was fabulous and I couldn't have asked for a better tasting meal. Just some planning stuff was a little less than perfect. I would absolutely recommend Kool Daddys for anyone's event.

able to cater it without any issues. All of our guests raved about the food. Highly recommend the Brisket and Salmon and the baked potato bar was a huge hit. Everything was very good! Prices were very reasonable and their service during the wedding was excellent! I can't recommend them enough if you want awesome BBQ and legit sides go with Kool Daddy's BBQ!

he caterers were super helpful during the wedding, as it was a very busy time for us. They will work out whatever you need.

nd and took a chance so glad I did. also was very short notice and they came through.

ing!!! We had smoked meatballs and smoked stuffed mushrooms as the hors d'eourves!!! OMG!!! So good. Also most importantly the Mac and Cheese is the best!! Everyone raved on the Mac and cheese. We believe they should compete for best Mac and cheese. We had 300 People in our wedding and everyone loved the food. Lastly but not the least, the service provided was impeccable. Chef Mikes assistant and Catering coordinator, Melisa went above and beyond to make everything look great and made sure the caterers were on top of everything. This review is long but everyone must know that My wedding was perfect!!!!! I highly recommend!!

ng was just so fun and amazing!!!

y sweet and handled everything and the food was amazing!! Down home BBQ and the pulled pork was so good it didn’t even need sauce! So good!!

started crying. I told him that it tasted like home. Summer nights, bon fires and family in the yard ... I’m 1600 miles away and my bday is sunday, this was the best bday gift he could have given me. Allen my fiancé said I don’t care what I need to do - if he makes you feel like that imma make Kool Daddys happen for our day! The food - OMG the FOOD!!! 😳😳😳❤️❤️❤️

s!!! Wonderful BBQ!!!!!

amazing. We are BBQ "snobs" and their Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Smoked Turkey was to die for. Everyone also raved about the Mac and cheese and green beans. The Green Beans were so flavorful. Kool Daddy's really made our day wonderful.

Daddy's. It was amazing. My wedding was exactly how I planned it to be.

as going to go with a very popular BBQ place here in Columbus. But Kool Daddy's provides so much more and clearly met our budget more than anyone else. The sauces were scratch made and the corn pudding was the best Ive ever had. They really take pride in their food and our guests loved it.

o kind and fun. I saved a lot of money with Kool Daddy's and yet the food and service is better than so many others. Thank you Kool Daddy's
