Luella's Barbecue

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.

work with. I would definitely recommend Luella’s catering for any wedding!

eft full. Brisket bites for our cocktail hour were incredible!

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!

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!!!

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!

again for another event!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.

tion. They do cocktail hour food as well and have a staff of bartenders and servers to staff your event as well. Very affordable!

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.

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.
