Luella's was awesome to work with! My husband is from the area and he suggested supporting a local BBQ place. The catering specialist was so easy to work with -- I had a bunch of q...
uestions and she was so helpful! She helped provide solutions when I had problems. She gave us an accurate count for our 125 guest wedding and we didn't run out, but also we had a perfect amount of apps, dinner, dessert & late night snacks. The catering teams also provided bartender services which was so helpful! Also, Luella's helped me figured out vegan/vegetarian options for my guests! All was so delicious and our guests really enjoyed the sliced brisket, sliced turkey, mac, green beans, all the apps, wings, dessert! So amazing!
We hired Luella's Barbecue for catering our wedding. Luella's fulfilled our order and was very easy to work with. Luella's food was amazing and there was more than enough food for ...
all of our guests and vendors. Highly recommend!
The food was sooooo good. They had great options for everyone, and a very reasonable price.
Very happy with Luella’s and the catering for my wedding. The staff was so helpful and communicative and our guests loved the food. Everything was great!
Used Luellas for my wedding catering and had a great experience. The food was delivered and set up right on time and was absolutely delicious!
The food was just as fantastic as eating within one of their restaurants. Our wedding had pork, tempah, corn on the cob, green beans, corn bread, salad, and cookies for dessert. ...
A few guests had restrictive diets, but Luella’s was very accommodating to them. We had received high praise from everyone on all the food. Even the leftovers we got to keep tasted just as good the next day.
If you want classic and delicious NC BBQ, Luella’s is the place! The food at our wedding was so great (the cheese grits were a particular hit), and the Luella’s team was amazing to...

A close friend of our recommended Luella’s Bar-B-Que to us for our wedding. My husband and I were a little skeptical at first, simply because neither of us had ever eaten there bef...
ore. However, we were planning a semi-destination wedding, so we trusted our friend, and we are so glad that we did! They are affordable, their food is delicious, and I cannot go on enough about their service! The entire catering team was beyond amazing, as was the food. The meat literally melts in your mouth, the baked beans were sweet and delicious, the potato salad was perfect, and the mac and cheese was some of the best we’ve ever had. Our caterer was such a hit that we are still asked about it from our wedding guests, and we continue to receive countless compliments. Luella's also lended an enormous hand by cutting all of our wedding cakes and serving them to our guests for us. Again, the food and service could not have been better! If you want yummy, affordable food that balances southern tradition with elegance and professionalism, this is your place! Thank you again, Luella’s!
Luella's is the best!! I am a Western NC local, and my husband and I knew that we wanted barbecue as the dinner for our wedding. After touring our venue last December, we stopped...
for lunch at Luella's, and it was absolutely delicious--I think we sampled pretty much everything on the menu.
I reached out to Luella's catering manager soon after we got back home. We currently live in South Korea and had to do all communications by email. Luella's catering staff were fantastic. They quickly responded to all of my emails and questions and helped me pick the perfect menu.
The brisket bites and the pimento cheese were huge hits during cocktail hour, even with the out-of-town guests who had never heard of pimento cheese! All of the guests loved the food, which helped make for a wonderful evening!
The catering staff also did such a great job and were so nice and accommodating to all of our guests. We couldn't have picked a better caterer!!!
Let me say first - YUMMY! Luella's food is absolutely delicious. They catered our cocktail hour,and dinner for our wedding, and it was a wonderful experience. All of our guests rav...
ed about how delicious the food was, saying it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. Marla made all of the prepping for the wedding so easy and the day of catering staff was a delight. If you are looking to have happy bellies and a wonderful experience, go with Luella's for your event!
Delivery was prompt. Customer service was terrific! Food was delicious! Wedding guests were very pleased and full after eating! Thanks so much Luella’s! We’d totally choose you all...
again for another event!
The food was soooo good. We got so many compliments. Marla was wonderful to work with, she made it simple and seamless!
Excellent service and incredible food! I highly recommend Luella’s for any rehearsal dinner, wedding, or any other event imaginable. We had so many amazing options to choose from. ...
We had the choooed pork BBQ and the hopped brisket. We selected the mac n’ cheese, green beans, and spicy vinegar slaw! Oh my gosh, I wish we lived in Asheville so I could enjoy the food on a regular basis!
We love Luella's and chose them as our wedding caterers because of their prices. Most other catering companies were at least two times more expensive than Luella's. We worked with ...
Marla and she was wonderful! Great at getting back to me and answering all of my questions. She even sent us a sweet card after the big day. We got a lot of compliments on the food and appetizers!
We had to move our wedding from Saturday to Friday, and unfortunately Luellas was not able to move to Friday, but we had an "after-party" on Saturday that we kept Luellas catering ...
for. And it was amazing. We knew it was good, and all the guests definitely validated it. Marla was so helpful when it came to picking out what we ordered. The staff was so great and friendly. The chopped brisket is really something else. Mmmmm!
I could not have been more pleased. Throughout the entire process, Luella's catering staff was incredibly friendly and good to work with. The food was amazing. Couldn't beat the qu...
ality for the price for my wedding dinner. They took care of all the setup and cleanup and went above and beyond. Can't recommend highly enough.
Luella's was amazing! Staff was helpful and professional. Food was delicious. We received numerous compliments from guests. The tempeh was a big hit with our vegetarian guests. ...

rown butter Brussels sprouts, salad. The cornbread and rolls were excellent. They had delicious tea and lemonade also. The servers made us feel welcome and Marla the manager helped make sure we had everything we needed. Truly fabulous!!
I will preface this by saying we used Luellas for our rehearsal dinner and we did the pick-up option. In speaking with Marla before we decided on pick-up, she was fabulous and the ...
reviews for full catering seem to be good so I'm not quite sure what happened with our event. So on to the review.... The food was awesome, the service was terrible. I placed the order (for 40 people) but they couldn't process my payment and told me to call back, sure no problem. I called back the next day after receiving the confirmation email and no one at the store had any clue what order I was talking about. They told me to call back again when the manager was in, alright. Called again and he wasn't in and they still couldn't find my order. Someone eventually called me later that day to take my payment so I figured we were all set. The morning of the event I called to see if I could move up our pick-up time by 30min, and they had no idea what order I was talking about again. Keep in mind I had already paid for the food at this point. They said they'd call me back. The manager called me back only 15min later or so, apologized for the confusion and gave several excuses as to what happened. They might have been valid reasons but after having so many issues of losing the order I was a bit fed up. He had me repeat the order and said it would be ready on time. My dad was the one who went to pick it up and when he got to our venue we discovered they had left out the buns for the sandwiches. Overall, I was very disappointed in the entire experience. I'm not saying don't hire them. Their food is truly amazing, just maybe go ahead and use the full catering option if you're going order from them and coordinate with Marla not the actual staff at the stores.
Luella's catered our wedding last month and we absolutely loved them! Marla was amazing to work with and made sure that everything we needed, and was incredibly helpful and respons...
ive for every request we made from dietary modifications to presentation and serving of the food and drinks was absolutely perfect! Everyone absolutely raved about the food, seriously this is the best barbecue!!! It was perfect for our mountain wedding and everything went off without a hitch! We cannot more highly recommend them, they are incredibly good value, could not be more professional and really cater to whatever kind of event you want.
Luella's was an amazing choice for our backyard wedding! They provided us with a pit and smoker (with pitmaster), and a whole pig's worth of pulled pork and very flexible sides. Th...
ey had a lot of delicious vegan or dairy-free options for our guests with dietary constraints, and they also provided bartenders to serve our alcohol (which we purchased ourselves). Marla, who was our point of contact, was incredibly nice and very responsive to all of our questions- she in fact sought me out the day of the wedding to say hello and congratulate me, and then sent us a follow-up thank you note! We had appetizers and the main course provided by Luella's, and it was all so tasty. Our guests are still raving about the food a month later! We had an amazing experience with Luella's and highly recommend it for both weddings and events and just for some great BBQ if you're in Asheville!
Luella's was an amazing pick for our wedding. Many of our guests said it was the best barbecue they'd ever had - and they were very easy to work with. They included all service and...
bartending in our fee (which was still really reasonable) and all of the servers were super friendly. Tip: have them cut and plate the cake for you! They offer that for a small fee ($30) and it saved us a lot of hassle!
Oh, and their attention to detail was great - they even helped us set aside a vegan meal for one of our guests :)
We knew that BBQ was on our radar for wedding food because we had so many out-of-towners who would just love some casual, delicious food. And boy did they!!!
It was more expensi...
ve than we had originally thought it would be, but they did have to feed 140 people!
We decided to use our own wine, but because of storage reasons, we had to refrigerate and bring the wine to the venue on the day of, instead of dropping it off at Luella's.
We ordered two kegs of beer from them, and the only thing I can say is, be careful about the beer. We did not have an option to keep and return the kegs, so the (large) quantity of beer left over was probably on draft at Luella's that next week. That was the only disappointing thing about our experience.
Everyone loved the food and hors d'oeuvres and we would definitely use them again, just perhaps do the beer situation a bit differently.
We had delicious BBQ and smoked turkey at our reception with the best Mac and Cheese. I would definitely recommend Luella's if you are going for a more rustic, southern style recep...
tion. They do cocktail hour food as well and have a staff of bartenders and servers to staff your event as well. Very affordable!
While the food we did receive was good, they forgot half the food for our catering. Since they were 45 minutes late in dropping it off, they were in a rush when setting it up, so ...
we didn't realize it until they had driven away. When we called on the phone, they said it was too late to go back and pick up the food and get it back to us. Make sure if you go with them to call them the day of and double check they don't forget half your food and that they are going to be on time.
great BbQ, any fixin's you want! The taste-test was great & very helpful. Very reasonably priced! Everyone raved about their delicious food.
My family is from the Midwest and I wanted them to try some NC Barbeque. Luella's was great! The service was great and everyone raved about the food. We had fresh fruit, crackers a...
nd cheese and ribs for cocktail hour and pulled pork and chicken, macaroni and cheese, green salad, potato salad and spicy vinegar slaw for dinner. Luella's did a wonderful job with the food and made all our guest feel very comfortable.
