Our server, Trina, did an excellent job. She was personable and on top of every need. The ribs and smoked chicken were great however, the pulled pork and mac and cheese didn't meet expectations. Overall a great experience.

I recently ordered food for a big church event. David went beyond the call of duty to take care of our needs. The food was ready on time and warm and fresh. I got so many compliments. They also included drinks, ice and paper products! All of this for an amazing price !!! I highly recommend for catering events !!!
