Caterers near Galena

“I've had some great BBQ and I also know my way around the smoker. The place is typical for cool BBQ joints; nice atmosphere, comfortable setting....and incredible scents. My buddy and I showed up for lunch and both decided on the pulled pork plate which also includes two generous helpings of sides. I went with the smokey 'baked' beans and cole slaw. As a huge fan of those two particular sides alongside BBQ, I was pretty impressed with the flavors. The slaw was nice and crunchy and done in a creamy style with large shave pieces of cabbage. Very nice! The beans were as good as any I have ever had. Perfect hickory smoked flavor and as tender as a bean gets.And now for the star of the show.....I would put this pulled pork BBQ against any in this area and quite a few of I can think of down south. I took advantage of the unlabeled (presumably home made) BBQ sauce on the table...wait.....back to that in a sec! So as I'm looking at this whopper sized bun, the pork and spilling over the sides and stacked a few bites deep. A very healthy portion. Typically I take the crown off of the sandwich, grab a fork and take a few bites in to catch all of the effort of long smoking such a delicious cut of meat. Carr's hits BBQ right on the head. PERFECT bark, PERFECT smokey flavor, and PERFECTLY cooked to an unbelievable melt in your mouth experience.Back to the sauce. There was another sauce on the table (this one was yellow)that I didn't try but I will next time. Since it was yellow, I assumed it was a Carolina style BBQ sauce. I LOVE sauces, especially on great BBQ! While the BBQ itself didn't need any help from a sauce, I had to try the red stuff anyway. Let me just say that I would bought a jar right then and there if it had been for sale. The flavor was somewhere between Beale Street in Memphis, and authentic Texas 'twang'. I want more. Now.Yes, Carr's earned my 5th star on the food alone, but it would be unfair not to mention the friendly service and speed of being served (during lunch hour, no less) which was 5-star as well. NICELY DONE CARR'S, I'll be seeing you again very soon!Oh, there's one more thing. The meats at Carr's are locally sourced, so the prices are very, very good. I would have expected to pay at least $17 for so much great food that was truly enough for two sittings, but the total for the two plates and a couple of Big Reds came to just $28. And there you have it.“

“5 Stars isn’t enough! I can’t imagine anyone could give a rating below 5 stars! Excellent food! They catered our work Christmas event, I hope we use them more often! Everything was fresh and delicious! The deserts were exceptional. So many catering places are repetitive, nothing unique that stands out. Terri Lynn’s food stands out on its own!“

“My niece was married this weekend and the dinner was awesome. There were almost 200 guests in attendance and it’s clear they are experts in working with large groups. I think the salad was one of my favorites although the sauces were very tasty. I would highly recommend them.“

“From a repeat customer – service and food are exceptional! Mitch, Jazmine and Team made my most recent company event of 300+ people absolutely seamless and effortless for us! Communication is professional, detailed and prompt. Menu options are broad and delicious every time – they are the whole package!“

“I will be dreaming about this food for the rest of my life. We got SO many compliments on the food at our wedding, both the grazing table at cocktail hour and the main buffet. Everything looked AND tasted amazing! Charles and Hannah were so easy to work with and the event staff was so friendly and offered wonderful service. Absolute best!“

“I finally got to try Chicago's Jerk Tacos and mmmm mmmm! I got the Jerk Grilled Chicken Baked Potato. I don't know where these monster potatoes came from, but I'm here for it. I got two meals out of this ONE tater! It was cheesy, the chicken was flavorful, and I'll be back to try the rest of the menu ASAP.“

“My favorite BBQ joint. I love their Mac n cheese, baked beans, and the tater salad. Also great bbq sauce. Friendly service always. Great quick and delicious option for lunch or dinner. They even have a drive through option. I also like knowing the meat is coming from a family farm and the animals are well taken care of. Can't wait for them to cater our wedding!“
