Island Barbeque and Catering

My husband, our 7y.o daughter and I stopped there on the way home from a family trip. I asked for my daughter a cone of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and they gave us a cup. Then when we said we ordered it in a cone, the girl put a cone on the top of the ice cream that she gave us on the cup. We had to clarify the third time that she wanted an ice cream in a cone. I get it, maybe they were tired too, it was a Holiday weekend and everything, nevertheless it left a little bitter aftertaste..

The food is so good. Literally, everybody likes it.

Took 1:30 to get food!

We stop in here from time to time when we travel through the area. We stop for their bbq! They have a great variety of smoked meats and chicken on the weekends! The variety platter is the way to go :)

They also have a wide variety on the ice cream and dessert side as well but we usually don't have room after the BBQ meal :)

We like to eat outside under the pavilion where they have tables, bar style seating, oversized checkers, cornhole boards, and deck chair seating in the grass.

Signs say they also have bands sometimes thru the summer with crafted drink options

Jessica at Island BBQ did a wonderful job helping to plan our catering for an Eagle Scout Court of Honor. The food was delicious, and we got lots of compliments on the tasty food items at our event. Thanks to Island BBQ for making our event that much more special and unique. Looking forward to our next visit to 'the Island'. 🌴🏝️⛵ Thanks!

Great little BBQ and ice cream joint. Outside covered seating. Kids meals and restroom available. Delicious BBQ sauce!

What cant it be summer al year long...if this were true we could always go to the best BBQ in the area. yes, I am talking about Island Barbeque. Good people who serve even better food.Anything from smoked ribs to a half chicken and includes all the extras you need to go with meat. Don't forget the ice cream after. Island Barbeque really takes care of your taste buds all around. Located off Old Route 219 outside Carroltown. Stop over in the summer, you won't regret it.

We had an event yesterday in Indiana, PA. The delivery and setup was excellent, folks raved about the quality of the menu. Zero complaints, would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I recently ordered catering from Island BBQ for our corporate event, and I couldn't be more pleased! We had pulled pork, smoked mac and cheese, and pulled chicken, and everything was a hit. The pulled pork was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, while the smoked mac and cheese was creamy and delicious—definitely a crowd favorite. The pulled chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy. The presentation was excellent, and the team was professional and accommodating. I highly recommend Island BBQ for any event; they truly delivered an unforgettable dining experience!

BLUF:
-Food was good.

-Price was high.

-Packaging of the food for transfer was a total failure.

-Customer service was non-existent, they don't care about the customer, they just want paid while putting in the least amount of effort.

-I will not use them again.

Detailed Review:

The food was good. Price was on the higher end, but I was ok with it for the convenience. My issue was the poor manner in which the food was packaged in the cater boxes. The boxes were secured with ratchet straps, and no, we weren't jumping hills or mudding on the way to our event. The ride was as smooth as any average drive would be. When we opened the cater boxes up, the mac-n-cheese container failed, and had dumped all over the food below. Luckily, the baked beans and mashed potatoes were sealed enough to not get the runny man-n-cheese juice in them. I did call to tell The Island BBQ about this, hoping for some understanding and maybe a gesture of good faith in a free dinner coupon or $20 refund for the inconvenience. They didn't care at all! In fact, they thought I was calling to apologize for their cater boxes getting messy. The gravy on the top shelf in the box had a metal pan it sat on so it didn't collapse. When I asked why the other slots didn't get the same metal pan, they said "I try to put them under all the pans, but I was just so busy." They also said "The aluminum pans we buy are just getting thinner and thinner." I did see you can buy metal pans for about $10 a piece to put food in that fit the catering boxes. Maybe buy a bunch of those, charge folks a refundable deposit to ensure they come back with the boxes, and avoid the mess and agitated customers. Or if you just don't want to do the dishes, buy heavier grade aluminum pans.

My Uncle also tried discussing this with The Island BBQ when he dropped the catering boxes back off the next day, and they just gave him attitude, grabbed the boxes and walked away around the back of the building.

A treat!

Discovered almost at the last minute at the end of a day of travel, we ordered by phone and arrived at the last minute to collect our order. Everything was delicious, in addition to the warm welcome received ?

The food is delicious and the saff is very friendly. I would recommend extra sauce for the burgers as they were lacking.

So happy to have a GREAT barbecue place in this town! I think Guy Fieri should visit this place. He would be impressed! The ribs are outstanding just like everything else I've tried on the menu so far. It's no wonder that this place is always hopping!

BBQ pulled pork was ok, could have used a little more sauce on it. Fries are good if they a fresh out of the fryer but if they set around under the heat lamps they are not very good.
