Not only is the food excellent, but Jeff and his crew are top notch. From the very beginning of booking through to the party, Jeff was communicative, personable and prioritized our needs to create a customizable menu. My husband’s birthday wish was for a pig roast in the backyard and Jeff did not disappoint. From the display to the carving, he put on a show that all of our guests loved! The young men in his crew, Jack and Dylan, were phenomenal. They tended to the pig for hours before the party started and helped us with several things during set up. Very professional, kind and considerate. The pig was out of this world and so were the rest of the meats they cooked up for us. The homemade cornbread was also a delicious treat! Our guests raved about the food and no one went home hungry. I would highly recommend Up in Smoke for any catering needs. Thank you Jeff, Jack and Dylan for making my husband’s birthday so memorable!

We hired Up In Smoke BBQ to cater our daughter’s communion party. Everyone from the owner to the cooks were courteous and professional and a pleasure to deal with. I love how the menu is completely customized to your liking. All of the food was delicious. I will definitely be using them again for my future events. Thank you Up In Smoke BBQ!

Last night was my 5th time using up in smoke. They catered our holiday party and as always it was incredible. The food is always the highlight of the party. If you’re looking for great food and great service, look no further than up in smoke bbq. Thank you again!!!

Definitely 5-star service. I hired Up in Smoke for a family reunion in my back yard. All my pre-event dealings were with Jeff. He was so easy to work with. Willing to accommodate anything I requested. And since this was my first time using them I had tons of questions along the way. Jeff always got back to me immediately!! The menu had more than enough options to choose from and he even added chicken nuggets and fries since we had a ton of little kids. Worked with me on the pricing. Very fair. We had Alex and Bryan as our grilled and they worked no-stop for the entire time. Cleanup left not a trace. And I had tons of leftovers so plenty of food. Everyone was raving about the food! I highly recommend and would use them again in a heartbeat!! (Jeff also recommended wait staff who are not affiliated with them but have worked together often and they were great, too!) First time I’ve hosted a party where I was totally relaxed and got to visit with all the guests and enjoy myself.

We used Up in Smoke BBQ for the second time this weekend. The food was amazing and the service was even better. All my guests were raving about it.

Can’t say enough nice things about Jeff and his staff of Up in Smoke BBQ! Had them cater my husband’s 60th birthday party of 35 people and it was awesome…They were so nice, efficient, on time, cooked an amazing menu of foods and cleaned up so well, you would have never known they were there, lol. I would say my favorites but apparently everything they cooked was a hit 😊 Highly recommended them for any occasion. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I could not recommend this place enough!!From the initial contact with the owner Jeff to the cleanup after our party everyone involved was nothing short of fantastic!We had a graduation party of 100 and everyone kept commenting about the food and the service.The wings, steak, and ribs were cooked to perfection and the side of corn on the cob was my personal favorite.I strongly suggest if you are having any type of party that needs catering to contact them, you won’t be disappointed at all.

I would never recommend this company for anyone who is having a party. My son and future daughter-in-law used them this past Saturday 7/29/23 for their engagement party. They came very highly recommended and that was the reason they used them. The 4 young kids that came didn’t know what they were doing.#1 they said they didn’t have the tables which were in their trailer and the contract that they were bringing their own tables#2 they burned most of the food#3 some food wasn’t even cooked the fries were still cold in the middle they were gross,#4 they were supposed to serve the food which they didn’t do,#5 they left an hour earlier then they were supposed to#6 they cleaned the bbq on the driveway which my son just had redone and left a huge mess#7 they also left food that was supposed to be left on tables on the grass in the sun, the chicken was so thick and burnt that you couldn’t cut it and it was dry as could be#8 & 9 to top it off they were drinking alcohol, my son found out because he pulled up the video from the cameras because someone said something and he also found the drinks in their truck when he had to get in and pull them out of the driveway because the driver couldn’t pull out of the driveway with the trailer.#10 & 11 THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD AS WELL AND TO TOP IT OFF THEY BROUGHT MY SON & DAUGHTER IN LAW A CASE OF THE HIGH NOON SELTZERS ARE YOU JOKING UP IN SMOKE IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT ALL BETTER ???????When my son called to tell this to the owner, the owner was rude and didn’t care about anything my son was saying to him and said he would have someone come pickup the tables and power wash the driveway, which they didn’t do they hosed it off and it’s still a mess.So before you think about booking a party with Up in Smoke BBQ think about finding someplace else. They are horribleI didn’t even want to give them a star but that’s the only way to post
