I chose City Barbeque to cater a 2nd wedding reception for my son and his new wife this weekend. Brittany was amazing, she answered all my questions and helped me create exactly what I needed. Jorden was lovely, she set everything up and monitored the food needs so that I didn’t have to. I received many compliments on the food. Thank you to everyone involved!

hat multiple guests went back for seconds and even thirds! The fan favorites were definitely the brisket and mac & cheese. 🤍 The catering team also went above and beyond to make sure my groom and I were taken care of. They made sure we had a plate before dinner service so we could actually enjoy our meal, and we even received a to-go/late-night snack box! We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience for such a special day. We highly recommend City BBQ for any catering event, but especially for your wedding! 🥰💍

ecialist- Brittany Textor made the whole process as smooth as it could be. I even had some last minute requests and she was more than happy to make me the bride happy and accomoadated. The day of the event, Will and Jamal arrived on time, had amazing attitudes, and did the job effortlessly. From one bride to another- get the signature package! The upscale buffet service, trash gathering, cake service, and provided cutlery made it all worth it. I would be happy to hire City BBQ Huntersville again for my next event.

Our couples and their guests always enjoy it, and I love knowing I can count on their team to help create a great experience from start to finish. I also have to give a special shoutout to Brittany, their booking manager. She is so personable, friendly, responsive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. Having someone like Brittany on the other side of the planning process makes such a difference. I’m always happy to recommend City BBQ to couples looking for delicious food and a catering team that is not only professional, but truly enjoyable to work with!!

ts of food for so many guests was one of our main concerns while planning this wedding We went to see Ashley and she made us feel so comfortable. She was extremely knowledgeable helping us decide what would be best for so many different age groups. Now to the special day of food was absolutely without a doubt amazing every single one of our family members, friends and contacts remarked all night, long and the following few days about how special the quality the content and the service of Citi barbecue If you are considering catering, you could never go wrong with them we cannot thank them enough for making our evening so very, very special On a second note, they cleaned up and then wrapped up all of the leftovers. We had a huge football party on Sunday and consumed every last bit of Citi barbecues fabulous food. Sincerely, Dorothy and Jerry The staff was amazing. We had four servers.

o very knowledgeable. When we picked up our sampler at the very beginning, I believe it was the manager of that restaurant that assisted us, and he was so nice and so happy and even gave us some cake to try! The food was AMAZING and everyone was getting the name of the restaurant so they could have it again. The staff during the wedding reception was extremely professional. I never even saw them put the food at the sweetheart table, it was just waiting there for my husband and me when we got there. I never noticed them setting up or cleaning up and leaving, that's how efficient they were. If I ever have an event that needs catering I WILL be using City BBQ again.

Response from City Barbeque

Danielle it was a pleasure working with you, thank you so much and congratulations!

the day before our wedding due to fraud and City Barbeque still showed up for us and didn’t even let me know about the issue until the next day as to not cause any additional stress on wedding day. It blows my mind that they would show up for us before we even had the opportunity to pay them! Both Brittany and Ashlee were so sweet and easy to work with, and all the food was delicious!!

tany is a great communicator and we felt confident in our catering choice from the moment we did the tasting. We were a little worried about distance from our venue at first (Huntersville to Morganton, NC), but did not have any problems with food quality or delivery time. They are affordable, personable, and professional. It's worth it to do full service, and definitely get the banana pudding!

package. People always say you won't eat at your wedding, but booking with City Barbeque, they ensure that the bride and groom do enjoy their food! They made us a plate and delivered it so we could at least have a bit to eat! They also packaged us up a to-go bag to eat afterward with the kindest handwritten note on the bag. I cannot recommend them enough for your wedding or any catering event!

Jordan B

We cannot express how happy we are we chose city bbq for our wedding caterer! Firstly, Brittany was very responsive and I felt she guided us perfectly to ensure we had all of our i...

nformation and had the right amount picked for dinner and desserts. Secondly, the caterers that came to our event gave very thoughtful effort in keeping the food fresh as our dinner was running behind. They were LITERALLY holding the food up close to the heaters to keep them warm during all the way too lengthy speeches. Thirdly, the compliments we got on how good the food was AMAZING! everyone talked about how good it was the entire weekend. Half of our guests’ favorite was he bone in chicken, the other half’s favorite was the brisket. Which means both were absolutely delicious and competed fairly with one another. The mac and cheese and the green beans were YUM! The caterers did a great job at cleaning up after AND they wrapped up and saved extra food so we could enjoy for lunch the next day without even knowing they did so!! Do yourself a favor, if you are having a wedding in North Carolina, give the people what they want and go with City Barbecue!
