Honestly, BBQ is not my favorite. It is usually messy, overcooked, low quality meat covered with sauce to over power the lack of natural flavor. I was taken a back by how good DAMO was. DAMN, the food blew my mind actually. Our band Ginger Road went by after a show and were treated with an absolute feast of flavor. The brisket and ribs were the best this guy ever had. I told a bunch of people and they all raved about the pulled pork and chicken too.Maggie and Dan were fantastic and added to the experience. I recommend them for your event. You will not be disappointed!

They catered my wedding and I absolutely loved it. What I really appreciated from working with them was how accommodating they are with their menu because I wanted mashed potatoes and cocktail wieners even though they don’t typically serve that. The food was delicious and the bbq sauce was an absolute hit! An affordable bbq catering experience!While it was bold of me to eat bbq in a wedding dress, the food was absolutely worth the risk.

Tried DAMO at 4’th of July fest. Pretty pricey not what I’m used to at this location, but things are different after Covid I guess. I tried brisket and pork. I’d rate them both at average. For the money average doesn’t cut it. The owner seemed to have a bit of arrogance about him as I watched him interact. That didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth.

They have the best ribs of any bbq joint in town. Super nice people and even offered to accommodate me with not being able to have sugar, if I called ahead. This was when they were food truck only, but I am super excited they now have a store front. We will be regulars for sure

I hired Damo BBQ's food truck for a corporate party and they were great! They were professional, timely, and so pleasant to work with! Everyone enjoyed the food and had a great time. I would hire them again!Vegetarian options: Everyone raved about the roasted cauliflower, and their Italian Style Beans were delicious!

We used DAMO BBQ for our graduation party and they were fantastic! We had the food truck on site which worked perfect! The owners are great - helped this crazy party planner pick the tastiest menu and our guests raved about the food! The brisket was out of this world and the pulled pork was delicious too! Too notch food, customer service and fair prices. Give them a call and you will be glad you did! They offer much more than BBQ so don't hesitate to ask for something not on the menu!

I've had DAMO many many times, they have the BEST bbq and service around hands down every single time! I've had pretty much everything on their menu it's all delicious. Their catering service is phenomenal and they are just overall some of the kindest most hard working people I've met. Check them out!
Recently stopped in and ordered the brisket meal to go. The brisket I ordered was a 1/4 piece of brisket that was cold, the rest of the brisket was solid fat. Probably the worst brisket I have ever had. The Mac & cheese was cold as well and not appetizing. Would not recommend this BBQ joint to anyone.

I've had Damo BBQ quite a few times and have loved every dish I've tried. The people are even better than the food. Highly recommended!!

We ordered a brisket and a turkey for Thanksgiving. I have never received so many compliments on the food. Highly recommend!
