Serving up Legendary BBQ since 1976

Zarda BBQ is a wedding catering company located in Blue Springs, MO.

Over the years, their dishes have taken on a cult status and earned them a reputation for excellence. With an experienced catering team and perfected recipes, this business will ensure a seamless and savory meal at your special occasion. Before Zarda BBQ, the Zarda name was best known for its drive-in hamburger stands, founded by Norbert Zarda. “Grandpa Norb” instilled his work ethic in his three sons, who went on to start the barbecue restaurant. Now operated by Norb’s granddaughters, Suzanne and Jennifer Zarda, the eatery passes on the family ethics of hard work, dedicated service, and great food. The catering team at Zarda BBQ will fully tailor your order to suit your tastes, preferences, budget, and guest list size. These professionals are ready to wow you with their award-winning burnt end carving stations, hickory-smoked sliced meats, tender smoked ribs, and juicy bone-in chicken. These meats are then paired with the eatery’s famous baked beans, refreshing Country Cole Slaw, and decadent cheesy corn for an unforgettable culinary experience.
