We hired Asado to cater our wedding last week, and they knocked it out of the park. We had a buffet with 3 meals, 3 sides, and 3 apps, and EVERYTHING was AMAZING. ESPECIALLY the brisket. We've been getting compliments all week. Everyone at Asado was so friendly and easy to deal with, I would highly recommend them if you are planning a large gathering.

Avoid at all costs unless you are an enabler. Had an interesting experience the other day with the owner Mike Yould, you know the same guy that shut down Birch and Anchor and SIP in Dartmouth leaving customers and staffing hanging. Only reason I had any contact with Asado was to attempt to get our money back on a SIP gift card. The food was terrible with the ribs dried out and inedible. Brisket coated in our own bbq made it okay. And I sure know it's not worth what you are paying for.

Asado did an absolutely fantastic job catering our wedding. We haven't stopped getting complements since. The communication was incredibly detailed and clear. We trusted them with complex/severe dietary restrictions and they delivered on keeping things tasty and safe with incredible competence and professionality. So tasty, on time, professional and outstanding communication and service. Highly recommend if you are looking for great food and project management.

Asado was incredible for our wedding! We wanted a casual buffet style meal and they did not disappoint! We chose 4 mains for our wedding - the BBQ Brisket, the Portuguese Chicken, the BBQ Salmon, and the Portobello Mushroom burger as a vegetarian option. All of our guests were raving about the food, and the portions were fantastic. For sides we went with the kale caesar salad, the coleslaw, the roasted potatoes, and the mac and cheese and they were all hits! The potatoes were especially delicious :) Mike and his team were very easy to worth with and arrived on time, and stuck to our schedule. 10/10 recommend working with Asado for your next event!

Asado catered our Wedding. They were great to deal with from start to finish. Laid back vibe and we got tons of compliments on the food! They were flexible and accommodating to changes to cocktail hour, dinner and late night pizza.

I tried Asado Wood Fired Grill yesterday at the food trucks in Bridgewater Nova Scotia. I have never had an Oktoberfest sausage before and I had one yesterday and it was bang on. It was delicious. Their corn on the cob was very sweet and delicious as well.

Asado catered our wedding this past weekend in the valley. We had an amazing charcuterie selection during cocktail hour. It was way bigger than we expected! Our mains were the chicken & ribs, smoked beef brisket, and vegan portobello burger, along with roasted potatoes, wok'd veggies, and kale caesar salad.
Every element of the meal was perfect - even better than when we had our tasting! Lots of people went up for seconds, and it did seem like the brisket was the fan favourite.
Communication was excellent, and Diana was a wonderful person to work with. Staff onsite were friendly and super helpful, even offering to cut our wedding cake when that was not really in their job description for the night. JJ, Lachlan, and Chef Nick were smiling all night despite the pouring rain (that occurred only during dinner), and were so pleasant. We highly recommend Asado.

We hired Asado to cater our wedding. They were professional, organized, and so easy to work with. The food was INCREDIBLE and our guests absolutely raved about it. Can't recommend them enough!

sad that I have to leave this review, because I enjoyed this spot up until today. I'm leaving two stars because my first experience there was much better than today. I decided to bring my buddy here for lunch and I got a brisket sandwich with extra coleslaw instead of mac n cheese on the side. The worker didn't tell me there was barely any slaw left and just filled my takeout container with the juice from the bottom of the bag its stored in. It was to the point where all 3 separators in the takeout container were like community pools for coleslaw. I asked for extra slaw and got less than the regular serving. The brisket on our sandwiches was 75% un-rendered fat and neither of us could eat it. It was like I was gnawing on a Michelin tire. All the coleslaw juice ruined my sandwich bun and was completely soaked and soggy after the 4 minute drive. Overall I couldn't have been more disappointed with the experience today for lunch and wont be returning unless a love one is held hostage there.

I just ate lunch from this place and the brisket sandwhich was the soggyest car tire I've ever eaten, the coleslaw was just milk that destroyed the buns and the brisket was so tough and mostly fat I had to deconstruct my sandwich and eat it with a steak knife. The mac and cheese was the only edible thing that was creamy and smokey, but other than that I do not suggest
HIGHLY recommend Asado for your wedding catering. Pleasant, professional staff who know their stuff and will help you every step of the way from menu planning onwards. They provided a ton of helpful advice about quantity and variety of foods and we ended up with the perfect amount.
Wedding day execution was seamless -- it's probably a testament to the quality of their work that I hardly even remember needing to interact with the staff on the day of. They are self sufficient and just do their thing, and they do it well.
As for the food... we had guests at our wedding who literally taste food for a living. When they came to us wide-eyed about how amazing the BBQ was, we knew we'd hit it out of the park. The chicken and ribs were absolutely incredible, and the lobster boil was beautifully presented for the out-of-towners at their first maritime wedding.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Asado Wood Fired Grill for our wedding in August 2024! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and easy to collaborate with. They advised us on the perfect amount of food based on our guest count and the cocktail-style vibe we wanted, crafting a menu that fit perfectly with our vision. Since we opted for finger foods, Asado did an amazing job presenting everything beautifully on platters and a wooden structure that matched the décor of the venue. The staff was attentive, continually replenishing items as they got low, and the flow of food was seamless. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, and we were thrilled to even have a few leftovers to enjoy after the event! One thing we especially appreciated was how self-sufficient they were. They didn’t need to be in and out of the kitchen, allowing everything to run smoothly without any disruptions. Overall, Asado was fantastic, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for delicious, beautifully presented food with excellent service!

The Asado crew just catered an event I was photographing in Blandford, NS. I've got to say, the team that showed up arrived with terrific spirits, jumped in where needed (beyond their catering duties) and helped pull off a terrific wedding experience for the clients. Not only was I proud to be a vendor beside them I was just as impressed by the food as I was their energy and commitment to the event!

We had Asado cater our wedding this weekend and they were unbelievable. Diana was wonderful to deal with, she was helpful and polite from day one. The staff present for the wedding were equally as helpful and polite. The food and service were excellent. Strongly recommend them for any and all events. They also have a great lunch menu if you’re ever in the area!

We hired Asado to cater our wedding and they did an excellent job! Our guests loved the mini lobster rolls, the Portuguese chicken, and the brisket. The events coordinator was responsive and easy to work with and the day went off without a hitch.
