Gina and her staff at Patriotic Pig BBQ were fantastic to work with for our wedding! They were professional and communicative the entire time. The food was INCREDIBLE! Our wedding guests would not stop talking about how delicious it was! I would 1000% recommend!!
Patriotic pig was great to work with from day 1! Affordable and delicious + worked with us and let us change up our guest count 800 times with no issues! Everyone at our wedding loved the food and atmosphere they provided!

Patriotic Pig catered our wedding this past weekend and it was absolutely delicious! Everyone raved about the food all night long. We had multiple people tell us it was THE BEST food they’ve ever had at a wedding.
The whole process was so easy. From first contact to get a quote to them packing all leftovers at the end of the night. The 5 staff members we had that night were so kind and helpful! I cannot recommend them enough!

Any questions?
Food was delicious! The booking process was so easy and we had plenty of food for everyone.
I cannot even begin to describe the amount of compliments we got about Patriotic Pig! We ordered 4 meats (ribs, brisket, sausage, and turkey), mashed potatoes, green beans, baked beans, and mac n cheese. People said it was the best wedding food they've ever had, they went back for seconds, and they continue to give us compliments about it to this day! We even have plans to take our parents to the restaurant when they come back to visit so they can get more. Gina was extremely helpful with all the questions I had and making sure we got exactly what we needed. They even have a vegan option, which our vegan and vegetarian guests loved! They provided to go boxes for the bride and groom (which we grubbed on the next day and it was just as good!). I seriously cannot recommend Patriotic Pig more! If you want your guests happy and full, book Patriotic Pig!!

This food was perfect and delicious for my wedding. I got many compliments from guest about how great the food was. There were quite a few options available when making selections for the menu. It was honestly hard narrowing down to the selections for the wedding. The service was great. They were very friendly and efficient. I best thing about this vendor is all the services they provided with the food. They brought their own tables and tablecloths for serving food along with rustic decor. They provided plates, napkins, silverware and cups. They served the food and bused the tables afterwards. They also cut and served the cake. It was very convenient that all of these services where provided by this caterer so that I didn't have to go find other vendors to fulfill those needs. My favorite part was the dessert table. I was wanting something different than just a traditional cake. I loved the look and the variety of option they had. There where also gluten free and dairy free options, which was important to us since we had guests who needed those options. They also packed up a meal and desserts for me and my husband to take with us at the end of the night. That was a very nice and thoughtful touch.

Gina and her catering crew at Patriotic Pig were remarkable! When we went to the restaurant for sampling, Gina introduced herself to my now husband and I and has been in communication with us ever since. The food at my wedding was absolutely amazing and while my husband and I made our rounds to tables, everyone’s plate was completely empty! I definitely recommend booking with Patriotic Pig.

We decided we wanted BBQ served at our reception dinner following our wedding and we are so happy we went with Patriotic Pig. They served brisket, sausage, and smoked chicken breast with mac&cheese, burnt-end beans, bacon green beans, bacon ranch potato salad, and coleslaw.
All the food was delicious and all the guests were raving about the food.
We also had appetizers served during cocktail hour. They served street tacos, brisket and pulled pork sliders, and Texas tater skins, all were a big hit with us and our guests! It was the perfect amount of food to keep our guests happy until dinner was served.
We also opted for a dessert bar that featured Uncle Willie's pies which were absolutely delicious. My husband and I had a sampling of the pies for breakfast the day after our wedding and they were absolutely delicious!

I only want to go to weddings where Patriotic Pig caters from here on out. In the words of Guy Fieri, the food was OUT OF BOUNDS! Gina was such a delight to work with leading up to the day, and I was so excited to have my northeastern guests fall in love with barbecue and give them the true Texas experience!
We booked the patriotic pig for our wedding September 16,2023 all I can say is they are AMAZING!! the food was as delicious as when we first went for a wedding tasting! They did an amazing job totally recommend!

We had Patriot Pig cater our daughter’s wedding! The BBQ was an absolute hit at the wedding! Guests were commenting on how good the food was and that it wasn’t your typical banquet food. The servers were professional, courteous and very hard working! Kept on top of everything from cake cutting, serving, to cleaning up and packaging leftovers! Would highly recommend them! Thank you PATRIOT PIG!!

10/10 would recommend. Their food was so good and everyone loved it. They will bring you a plate to eat then will box some food up so you can take home at end of night. Everyone was super nice and professional.

Patriotic Pig catered for our wedding. One of the best decisions we made. We felt so blessed for all of our out-of-town family to experience a truly authentic Texas BBQ. There wasn't a single thing on our plates that we did not enjoy. Our guests also extremely loved the pie!

Gina and Patriotic Pig are so wonderful to work with...As a wedding planner, I have worked with them now at least half a dozen times! She is always super responsive and communicative, and she is so flexible with any changes or updates we have! I worked with them on a wedding this past Saturday at the Brooks at Weatherford in Fort Worth. Her team was awesome, the food was great, and they went above and beyond! They even stayed to help cut the cake later that night, even though dinner service had already ended. You cannot go wrong with Patriotic Pig. They are one of the best! :)
Love, love, love the patriotic pig! The food was fantastic, I got so many compliments on the quality of it. Everyone was asking who was catering. The staff were very friendly and on top of their jobs. The entire rustic aesthetic was perfect. The owner, Gina, answered every single question we had and stayed in contact with me the whole 3 months up to the day of the wedding. Highly recommend

Everyone was raving about how delicious the food was from Patriotic Pig! Everything was so tasty! Patriotic Pig also accommodated our guests with special dietary restrictions, which helped remove the pressure of ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves. We will for sure be going to the restaurant regularly!
Patriotic Pig BBQ catered my husband and I’s wedding this past weekend and they were phenomenal. The food was amazing, I got dozens of compliments from my guests as well about the food. The staff was also on top of everything and took amazing care of our guests. Wedding catering can be hit or miss but it will never be a miss with Patriotic Pig. If you love BBQ this is the place to cater your wedding!
AMAZING! So professional, kind, efficient, thoughtful. They created an amazing set up, we’re friendly to guests, and we were eating leftover BBQ for weeks. Highly recommend Patriotic Pig for your wedding!

The food was all anyone could rave about at our wedding! Everyone wanted to know which restaurant catered the meal, all of our guests were blown away at the quality! Patriotic Pig was excellent to work with and even adjusted our quote after we decreased our final numbers considerably. The food was warm and tasty when they served it and was spot on all throughout cocktail hour with appetizers and the main courses. They showed up on time and were very self sufficient in getting everything set and ready the day of. Highly recommend them for any event!
Response from the Vendor on 08/30/2023
Thank you so much for having us cater! It was our pleasure. :-)
The main comment I heard all night was how good the food was- specifically the brisket & Mac'n'Cheese.
This was so good & great at 1 am too. We had left overs & were able to bring containers for them to put it in. Their food is SO GOOD!
Response from the Vendor on 07/12/2023
So happy to hear how good everything was. Thank you so much for having us and it was our pleasure to be there. :-)
We used The Patriotic Pig catering for our wedding and it was amazing! Before booking we were able to go to the restaurant and get a sampler, and we knew immediately that we wanted to use them. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had a lot of guests from up North and it was so special to us to get to share our favorite southern food and it be served to them with southern hospitality.
Response from the Vendor on 07/12/2023
It was our pleasure! We are so glad everyone enjoyed the BBQ and from up North! Thank you for having us cater your spec day! Wishing you the best and congratulations!
We hired Patriotic Pig for our June wedding. Let me tell you, it was a show stopper. The set up was beautiful. The decor they brought with them went flawlessly with our decor. We also had the dessert ladder which was my favorite part, and much bigger than I expected. The food was just amazing. Our other vendors told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. I trust their opinions because they eat wedding food twice a week. Needless to say our guests loved it and are still talking about how good our food was. They were so friendly and helpful when it came to anything. If I needed to reach out they answered right away. I also believe that their prices were fair and honest. I will be sure to book with Patriotic Pig for any future catering needs.

Gina Smith,
You and your crew were amazing! They showed up shortly after we did, introduced themselves to me, and quickly began setup. Patriotic Pig went above and beyond to match our decor. Just like eating at the NRH location, the food was amazing. Thank you again, many times over for having such a professional crew and great food.

Best. BBQ. In Texas. That’s all you need to know! Our guests RAVED about the food days after the reception. Mac n cheese - oh my word. And the brisket and sausage - so tasty! The chicken was so amazingly good too people thought my it was pork 😂. Gina was so responsive and accommodating to last minute changes. They also have great options for vegans/vegetarians . Their setup is amazing - rustic and a perfect match for our theme. If you’re looking to bbq wedding, look no further, you’ve found your caterer!

We used Patriotic Pig for our caterer for our daughters wedding last weekend. We have eaten at their North Richland Hills location and it was so good that we didn't know how it would translate for a wedding feeding 200+ people. To say the least we were BLOWN away by the food and the amount of people that came up to me during the wedding and texts even 2 days later asking who catered the food shows you how many people LOVED every bit of food that was served. The staff was AMAZING and I can go on and on about Gina, the owner as her communication back and forth all year during this process was like no other vendor. Even when I had a question, on Thanksgiving Day to just get it off of my mind and in an email.... SHE RESPONDED!!! Seriously, cannot say enough about them and their level of service and incredibly great tasting food. Totally 1000% if you are needing a caterer for your wedding, look no further. THANK YOU for making my daughters wedding memorable.
Response from the Vendor on 05/16/2023
Awww….Thank you so much for your kinds words! It was our pleasure to be able to cater for you. Thanks again!!
The food from Patriotic Pig is what sold us on having them caterer our wedding. We did the wedding sampler in the restaurant and then decided that we had to go with them for our wedding. Working with Gina to get everything finalized for the wedding was very easy.
Response from the Vendor on 06/28/2023
It was our pleasure.... Thank you for having us!! :-)
AMAZING! The food was fantastic- so many guests told us in the weeks after our wedding how awesome they thought the food was. Great price for a large amount of food as well. And the owner, Gina, was very kind and responsive throughout the process.
Response from the Vendor on 06/28/2023
So glad to hear everyone enjoyed the food. Thank you for having us!! :-)
We are so happy that we chose Patriotic Pig to caterer our wedding. They made the whole process easy and seamless. Gina was our point person and she very helpful and prompt in answering our questions and providing the best advice for our big day.
The food was absolutely amazing. It was the most complemented thing at our wedding. Several of our friends asked for their information for future events. The staff was very attentive and courteous with our guest. They even put aside a special plate of pickles for my husband (his favorite food) to eat throughout the night. Definitely the little things!
We highly recommended them!

We absolutely loved having Patriotic Pig cater our wedding! The food was sooooo good and they do such a cute and classy buffet set up! Their staff was so friendly and helpful. Gina does an amazing job communicating and answering any questions you have. You get so much delicious food for such a fair price! We went with brisket, chicken, and jalapeño sausage for our meats, a side salad, green beans, burnt end beans, mac n cheese and loaded mashed potatoes, SO GOOD! If you want barbecue or just good food for your wedding- Patriotic Pig is what you need! Would recommend over and over again!

I'm really glad we chose patriotic pig as our caterer for our wedding. They have many options to choose from for your special day. We decided to go with brisket, smoked turkey, and ribs and for our sides, we choose loaded mashed potatoes, bacon green beans, and cowboy beans. Our guests really enjoyed the food as did we! Gina was very helpful during the planning process and answered all of my questions promptly! We had plenty of leftovers so if you decided to go with this vendor be sure to bring enough to-go containers!

The food and the waitstaff were phenomenal. Before we had booked our venue, we had toured some other venues and everyone recommended Patriotic Pig to us. We looked at reviews online and everyone raved about them and I never saw one negative comment about them. They are top notch. During our reception everyone commented how awesome the food was. Gina was always super responsive and helpful and it was great we could change our numbers up to two weeks before for final payment. They were awesome to work with and I would definitely use them again if we need catering.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for having us cater your special day. It was our pleasure!! Congratulations!!
This is a late post from our reception in May but I couldn't let the year pass without highly recommending Patriotic Pig BBQ for any event. They have the best set up, the best prices and 6 months later my guests are still talking about the food! Gina was great to work with including my last minute changes to our menu choices. (Honestly we wanted everything on the menu!) I have some seasoned BBQ eaters in my family and they couldn't believe how good the food was- I really can't stress that enough! Thank you Patriotic Pig!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/28/2023
I’m so glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the bbq. Thank you so much for having us cater for you! It was our pleasure to be there! Congrats!!!
We took a trip to try more of their food after attending a wedding they catered for a friend of ours. We were treated to a sample of everything. It was so so good and the burnt end beans were to die for. Gina was super easy to work with and their team handled everything perfectly on our wedding day. We received several great comments from our guests on how great the food was. We will be continue taking the long trips back to their restaurant to continue to support their business!

We were so happy we choose Patriotic Pig has our wedding catering , the food was just delicious and Gina and her team were amazing. It was hard to choose from their delicious menu, everything was just mind blowing. We meet them at our venue open house, they were the first caters we tried and from the moment we knew it was them who we were going to choose. Our guests loved the food it was so delicious we did not get to try the appetizers, since we had to take pictures. I loved how all of our guests complemented our choices . Thank you Gina and team - The Gils

DO NOT SLEEP ON PATRIOTIC PIG. This is the ONE place our guests keep talking about from our wedding. They keep asking us where the food was from and if there's a restaurant. I cannot say enough great things from the communication with Gina to the wedding day eating the food. It's some of the best BBQ we have ever had. The bacon green beans were wiped out very fast and we ordered so much extra!! The brisket is so good and the sausage was a huge hit, too! We are so glad we went with Patriotic Pig for our wedding day. Definitely going to visit the restaurant soon!!

I have worked so many weddings with Patriotic Pig that I knew that we needed them for our wedding. From the very beginning, Marc & Gina made it all a breeze from the tasting with my husband’s family to the wedding day. All of our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fantastic the food was and the leftovers we had was the perfect “day after” family dinner.
Response from the Vendor on 09/26/2022
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to be able to cater for you and be a part of you special day!! So happy everyone enjoyed to food! :-)
Working with the Patriotic Pig was a great experience all around. . I ran across them in my catering search on The Knot and they have great reviews with good reason. I live out of town currently and I’m soon making the transition to the Fort Worth area to join my now husband. I booked it all online without so much as a tasting but I had faith! Gina communicated everything by email which was absolutely fine and easy for me. The reviews were on point. The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and worked quickly. They packed our leftovers and made go plates. It was a hit! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed eating our plates at the hotel on our wedding night. It was delicious!
My only minor issue was the arrival time. I had received 12:00 pm as the time to expect the team and kinda had a little freak out while getting ready and noticed it was 12:35 pm. The van pulled in right at 12:40 pm and I was a bit put out, but the team had their arrival orders listed at 12:45 pm. So they were on time for their schedule, but late according to what I was expecting. They assured me everything would be done on time and it was, minor hiccup and all.
It was overall a great experience and the food was beyond awesome. Thanks for everything!

I still to this day have people asking me who catered our wedding food! WOW is all I can say. It was the most delicious BBQ I’ve ever had!! And the side dishes… EVEN MORE YUM!! The Mexican street corn was a HUGE hit with everyone! The perfect food for a Texas wedding! Don’t think about it. Book them now!!

We absolutely loved the Patriotic Pig! We literally did not look at any other caterers. We were sold the second we took a bite at our tasting. We were blown away by the quality of every dish served. My husband grew up in a ranching family so he knows his way around BBQ. He said that this is some of the best BBQ he has ever had. So many of our guests went up for thirds. My family and friends could not stop talking about how good the food was. Gina and her team were also really easy to work with. The food was hot and ready when it was time to serve dinner. Everything was set up and broken down at our venue very professionally. Everyone on the catering team also conducted themselves very professionally. We had no issues what so ever. We know that the team had worked really hard to make everything go perfectly, which it did! It was just one of the best meals we have had and the presentation on top of it all made this one of the best values of any of our vendors. We highly recommend the Patriotic Pig!

The food is out of this world!! We got so many compliments, would highly reccommend them to anyone for any occasion. Also if you want BBQ then I can guarantee you won't find better pricing then patriotic pig and the food is way better than some of the other top name places you may be considering. Thank you Patriotic Pig for everything! -Brytni & Paul

Patriotic Pig catered our wedding and we highly recommend them! The food was delicious, obviously. People are STILL talking about how great the food was months later. But beyond that, their service was fantastic and timely. They took care of us as a couple by making sure we ate dinner. AND they sent us off at the end of the night with leftovers! So when we got the text that people were in the hotel bar celebrating, we said nah and stayed in bed eating our leftover mac & cheese (lol). Thank you, Patriotic Pig!
Patriotic Pig was delicious! Our appetizers and meals were great and they had plenty of food for everyone and we got to keep all the leftovers. They provided a cake cutting service and waitstaff as well. They were very nice and professional. The waitstaff came early to help us light candles and stayed to help clean afterward. Their dinner set up was very well done and fit perfectly with our rustic decorations. The only thing I would tell future couples is to specify when to serve the appetizers.They thought we wanted to serve them right before dinner instead of during cocktail hour, but as soon as we requested them they had them out quickly and everything went very well.
I admit I was nervous before our tasting, I was afraid the reasonable prices would equal lack luster BBQ- I had nothing to fear. The food is truly SO good, the meat, the sides, the sauce, all of it! My husband and I went to the restaurant the week before just because we were so excited we couldn't wait another week to eat it. Patriotic Pig was a huge hit at our wedding. Everyone raved about how delicious it was- and that's saying something when you have a room full of Texans! Gina made the whole process easy to understand, efficient, and despite her booking 7ish weddings any given weekend evening- she made me feel like my wedding was important. My friends at work are still raving about how delicious the food at our wedding was- that's saying something!

Thank you so much for having us cater for you on your special day. It was our pleasure! So glad to hear everyone enjoyed the BBQ and thank you for your kind words. Congratulations and wishing you the Very Best!!
BBQ was the one thing my husband wanted for our wedding. After extensive searching we came across Patriotic Pig and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! We decided to book them BEFORE we tried any of their food based on the reviews. Everything was absolutely delicious and we can't wait to go back to eat there again. The couples special they offer to taste the food was beyond anything we've tried. Lots of amazing food for such a great price. The also have an actual vegan option for our guests who chose that option. Gina was absolutely wonderful to work with and her communication and honesty throughout everything made us feel like we were their only priority. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's wanting BBQ at their wedding/event.

It was our pleasure! Thank you for having us cater your spec day! Wishing you the best and congratulations!
Before hiring them, we went to their restaurant to get the wedding sampler and within an hour of us sampling the food, three different customers and their families walked up to our table and told me how much they recommended Patriotic Pig catering for weddings. Their reasoning was because not only are they very reasonably priced, their portions and staff were great, and their food is as good as it is at the restaurant. That right there was astounding in itself. Patriotic Pig was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. It was everything those families told us it would be. Along with the food, we decided to order some of the mini desserts and pies to have as other options besides wedding cake and they were so delicious as well. We had so much left over that we were handing out plates of food and desserts to the out of town guests. Everyone was talking about how good the food and desserts were and how big the portions were. In fact, there are many people still telling me how good the food was a month and a half later! The people bussing the tables were on top of their job the whole time, the servers were very professional, and timely with serving the food. Seriously could not recommend them more! Would 1000/10 hire again.

If you’re wanting BBQ for your wedding, hire patriotic pig!! Gina was awesome from the moment we met her at our initial tasting! Even the weeks leading up to our big day, Gina was very responsive to our changes needed in head counts. The food looked incredible and tasted even better. For our “destination wedding” in Texas, all our friends and families back in Ohio LOVED it! The Mac and cheese was a crowd pleaser but all the choices were so yummy! We want to make it a tradition of going back near our anniversary for a meal to celebrate!

I'm so glad to hear your guest were able to experience Texas BBQ!! Thank you so much for having us cater for you and your kind words. We would love to see ya'll back here when you can. Congratulations!!
Delicious food and great staff!
Patriotic Pig is an absolute MUST! We are so glad they have a physical location to go eat at because their food is absolutely spectacular!! Our family and guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was; it was one of the best parts of the wedding. Gina and the team were so prompt and professional to work with, answered all our questions, and were so flexible leading up to the event as headcount changed and servers were needed. We cannot recommend them enough and are so thankful to have such a great team to have worked with on our special day!
EVERYBODY was complimenting the food after the wedding! A cousin even stopped by the restaurant the next day to get ribs before heading out to his home town... food was delicious and Gina was amazingly helpful and accessible, quick to respond my emails and questions. I did not have any concern at all about catering for our wedding. I highly recommend.
Patriotic Pig was the perfect choice for my wedding. Their team was fantastic at communicating with us. The team that came to set up did an amazing job and the food was delicious! I had guests texting me days later talking about wanting more!
I can't say enough when it comes to complimenting this team! The entire process of working with Gina and the rest of the Patriotic Pig team from our initial tasting at a wedding open house event to them catering our wedding nearly a year later was great! The communication was fast and easy, the prices were so reasonable, and the FOOD.... the food speaks for itself! Every bite was delicious! We have had so many guests complimenting the dinner and the service provided! Their team went the extra mile to ensure that everything was so well done- the food was so good, the presentation was so neat, and then their waitstaff was so kind and helpful throughout the end of the reception! I am so glad that we went with Patriotic Pig for our big day!

Patriotic Pig catered our wedding, and it was the best decision we could have made! They were extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the process, and the food was delicious. We had so many guests tell us it was the best barbecue they had ever had!! Can't recommend them enough.
Patriotic Pig was actually the first (AND ONLY) caterer we did a tasting at, because once we ate there we knew right away nothing else would compare. And we were right! We had SO many compliments about the food during the wedding. They showed up early to set up a beautiful display and even provided some of their own décor to make the buffet look gorgeous. They provided wait staff and even had someone carving the meat! The Burnt End beans were a HUGE hit, along with everything else and their sauce is delicious. They also provided a cake cutting service for a small fee and served the slices when everyone was ready for cake. I will say that they cut each of the cakes in succession so the first people in line only got to choose from the italian wedding cake flavor then when that was gone they cut the amaretto flavor, then chocolate. I think if you choose them (and you 100% should choose them) just ask them to cut a little bit from each flavor so guests can choose which flavor they want.
The BBQ was amazing and was presented in such a great way that went with the rustic atmosphere we were trying to have our wedding be. They were very timely in getting the food ready and super helpful cutting the cake and serving it to all the guests. Would highly recommend
Great BBQ and sides! We had them cater our daughter's wedding and the food was fabulous! Catering and wait staff were terrific! Gina was extremely accommodating and her whole team was easy to work with from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend anyone to check out Patriotic Pig BBQ!!
We contracted with the Patriotic Pig for my daughter's wedding during the 4th of July weekend and I cannot say enough good things about them. The food was fabulous and we had many complements from our guests. The staff was also fabulous and very attentive! I would absolutely use them again! Be sure and order the macaroni as a side dish!
Patriotic Pig was the EASIEST decision during our wedding planning. The food is phenomenal and we received so many compliments because it is so flavorful, filling and affordable. The team did a great job in executing the buffet when we ran a little early and we could not be happier in our decision to book Patriotic Pig BBQ!
This was the best one-stop-shop for appetizers, meal, pies, and plasticware. I loved having just one person to communicate with for all of these things. It made my life so much easier! Gina was quick to respond, and I loved getting to meet her at the restaurant when we went to try a “wedding sampler.” The food was SO GOOD. Everyone raved about the appetizers, meats, sides, and pies. I love that they partner with Uncle Willie’s Pies. I wanted to do pie instead of cake at my wedding forever, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to be easy to make my dream a reality. Gina (Patriotic Pig) and Cici (Uncle Willie’s Pies) made it easy AND delicious.
AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough great things about this vendor. The food was incredible! My wedding guests raved about it for days following the wedding. It was one of the highlights for our guests. If you're looking for BBQ, look no further! This is your vendor!
I was the coordinator for a 2/11 wedding catered by Patriotic Pig and WOW. My husband is a total BBQ snob who's taken me to all the best Texas has to offer, and I can say that their brisket was within the top ten that I've ever eaten. They were great to work with and moved tables last-minute due to inclement weather with a fantastic attitude. Amazing service and would love to work with them again in the future!
YUM! That's all you need to know! They were such a hit at our wedding. They were so easy to work with on the menu and flexible with us when we had to postpone our event and downsize the guest count. The food was incredible and all of our guests had nothing but great things to say about it. We were able to take a bunch of leftovers which ended up being such a blessing. The winter storm hit and we had about 10 people stuck in Dallas and had plenty of food to feed everyone thanks to Patriotic Pig. They also helped us add an additional server for the buffet due to COVID and the staff was so helpful in bussing and cleaning throughout the night. We highly recommend Patriotic Pig for catering and weddings and cannot wait to go back to their restaurant!
This was one of our easier choices! Our tasting was delicious and working with Gina was so easy - even with all of our changes. Our guests were raving about the BBQ!
Melt in your mouth brisket...at your wedding...that's unheard of in the history of wedding food! Our guests constantly commented about how great the food was. Even the leftovers were amazing! The staff we hired through Patriotic Pig was amazing and we never had a line for food! I can't recommend them highly enough.
Our experience with patriotic pig was honestly positive from the beginning. When we drove out to try the food for the first time, not only did our order come out on the cutest heart shaped platter, but we were able to test so many options- which made it hard for us to choose because everything was so good. For our wedding, we ordered brisket, pulled pork, and turkey, with mac and cheese, green beans, and mashed potatoes for the sides. We were lucky to have so many great vendors, but we STILL get compliments on how good the food tasted. The best part for me though, was how willing to work with us they were. We changed our guest count last minute due to COVID, and they coordinated with us to get the extra food donated to the food bank. That meant so much to us and solidified our amazing experience.
Wow! I can’t say enough good things about this team and this food. If you’re thinking about booking them DO IT. My hubby and I are so thrilled. Patriotic Pig was so flexible, easy to work with through changes in numbers, reasonably priced, and so on top of it. We ordered food for about 15 more people than actually ended up attending our day - and still all our food was gone (in the best way possible!). Our guests have been raving about this food for days, and everyone went back for seconds.
The mac and cheese was to die for, the brisket melted in my mouth, and the baked beans were the perfect amount of sweet. I could eat this food for days.
The team made sure to deliver my hubby and I food quickly so we could enjoy it before the night got away from us, and they very graciously put together a plate for us to take home and enjoy later too. Patriotic Pigs team made our guests comfortable, and VERY happy with full bellies. One of our guests who plans events even asked for their card during the night I highly recommend them for any event.
I highly recommend Patriotic Pig!!! We tried the wedding sample at their restaurant and immediately knew we wanted them to cater our wedding at The Springs. It was so hard for us to set our catering menu because everything we tried was absolutely delicious!! We worked with Gina and she was always professional, quick to respond, and helpful. Months after our wedding, our wedding guests are still commenting on the delicious food Patriotic Pig catered! Highly recommend!
Best food ever! We went to Patriotic Pig for a tasting before we booked a caterer and were instantly sold. My fiancé is a disabled veteran so we loved the idea of a veteran owned company. I spoke with Gina about a year before our wedding day, and she has been nothing less than phenomenal! She answered all of my questions, quickly and with great detail. We had Patriotic Pig cater the food, appetizers, drinks, cut the cake, and servers. They were amazing! We had food for about 40 more people than actually showed up and there was no left overs at all! Everyone has been raving all about the food, and asking where the location is for them to visit. Do the wedding tasting, you will be sold instantly!!
Patriotic Pig is our favorite restaurant so we knew they would be the ones to cater our wedding! They were so easy to work with and accommodating to the changes that I made to my order. Their setup is beautiful, the food is amazing and you can tell they love what they do. Their employees and waitstaff were incredible and very hard working, my mother is STILL bragging on how much they helped! Highly highly recommend!!
