Smokehouse went above and beyond for our catering! The prime rib was cooked perfectly as well as all the sides we ordered. I would highly recommend them to others.

We used Smokehouse BBQ as catering for our wedding, and wow! We wanted to do something different and not your typical BBQ meal. And Smokehouse could not have been more helpful to m...

ake our vision come true! We needed to serve 250 people but wanted to make it delicious for each person and they 100% accomplished that. We got SO many compliments on the food! The meat was PERFECT, prime rib carving station with au jois, and whole smoked chicken. It was such a hit, we also had scalloped potatoes, green beans and a salad. Julie was incredible to work with, so easy to talk to and plan with. And she really is on top of her game! Our venue did not provide plates, glassware or cutlery and Smokehouse was able to provide that. It worked out wonderful!

My husband's family has take out from Smokehouse every year for their family reunion, and he was so excited when we elected to book them for our wedding. We were slightly worried ...

about how BBQ would work with all of the fancy clothing, but it worked out perfectly! The staff to manage the buffet line were friendly and fun to work with, and the food they brought with them was - as expected - delicious. Even if it isn't for a wedding, we would recommend their food, or catering, but our experience was top notch.

Smokehouse! NO REGRETS. The pricing was so reasonable. They showed up on time, had it set up quickly... and beautifully. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! We got so many compliments. Julie and her team knocked it out of the park! Would 100/100 recommend!
