Performed to perfection. Showed up in the morning, cooked ribs & chicken to perfection, sides were fresh and delicious, rave reviews from my 40 guests. Orin and DJ had impeccable manners, cooked from an impressive grill, and couldn't have been more helpful. This place deserves 6 stars.

ABSOLUTELY the best company to deal with. Not only is the food the best anywhere, they have guided me thru several of my events. We have just hired them to manage and cater our Renewal of our wedding vows. We know the food is the best and do not want to worry about anything. With this company you will not have to worry about anything.

We rented a 30x30 ten, tables and chairs for 100. We had catered bbq chicken and brisket, potato salad, Cole slaw and baked beans. We had tea and lemonade. They set up the tent and tables 4 days early because weekends are very busy. On the day of the event Cathy came by early to look at the conditions after a huge rain the day before. 30 minutes before the event started they arrived in a van that had their name on it with hot boxes inside. The food was ready to serve on time and was delicious. Everyone bragged how good the food was. Thank you Cathy and Country Caterers.
