Serious Boss Fans
“Phil with Carson City BBQ is the absolute best! We asked Phil to cater our ~140 person wedding. He was great with communication & planning, and was able to provide chairs, tables, tablecloths, and drinks for our reception as well! We were a bit nervous since we didn't have time to do a tasting beforehand, but Phil knows his stuff. The chicken, tri-tip, and ribs he brought were FANTASTIC. Every guest raved about the food, and many guests told me that they ate so much they had to skip dessert & even stop drinking, because they were so full!!! There was plenty for everyone, and the buffet line they set up moved so quickly! Phil also brought a bartender who was fabulous at serving all our guests & kept everything moving quickly. If you want the best food in the area, don't hesitate to hire Carson City BBQ. Thank you!!!”
Caroline F.Wedding, ~140 guests “We had Carson City BBQ cater our wedding last weekend and Phil and his crew BLEW us away. The communication during the planning was on spot. Phil was so helpful with his expert knowledge of cooking for a wedding party and what we needed to do to make things go smooth was top notch. Phil showed up early, they set up the smoker and cooked some of the best BBQ I ever had in my life. The guests at the wedding came up to us and kept on saying this is the best food we ever had at a wedding and that meant the world to us. Guests were getting seconds and thirds, fourths of the food. I can honestly say if you're thinking about having BBQ at your wedding this is the one and only place I would recommend. Phil is beyond a pro, he's an expert at what he does and Carson City BBQ gets 10 stars if I could give them that. Thanks so much Phil and team for doing your best for our 200+ guests. The tri-tip was amazing and the chicken was moist and our guests were full and extremely happy.”
Max A.Wedding, 200+ guests “Phil from Carson City BBQ catered our family gathering yesterday and it was fantastic! The ribs and pulled pork were some of the best we have ever had, and everyone raved about the food. Everything was prepared on time and we had more than enough food for our guests. I highly recommend Carson City BBQ!”
