We planned a Christmas bbq using Out Back Catering. It was held today and we could not be more pleased. They showed up right on schedule. The food was ready right on schedule. They made a beautiful presentation and the food was delicious. When lunch was over Doug and his crew cleaned up everything. I highly recommend Out Back Catering. I felt the prices were very reasonable. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.

We just had them cater our year end Thank you luncheon for about 120 employees. Because of the type of building we are in we could not have a cook on site event. Plus we've done the more BBQ type food the last couple of years and people wanted something new. So we went with the Italian feast menu. Pasta, Cesar salad, veggie skewers, lemon chicken and garlic bread. Heard great reviews from our employees about healthy choices, good food, Which is what you want to hear. The staff who worked our event was a wonderful team; they made this event one of the easiest set / clean up and most enjoyable I've done. We would use them again. Thank you Doug & team
