I used Great American BBQ to cater my husband’s 60th surprise birthday party, and I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was with the entire experience! From the very beginning, I worked closely with Christine to plan the event, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Christine offered excellent advice and guidance, which made planning the party so much easier and gave me complete confidence that everything would come together perfectly. The servers and staff were equally amazing! Lucio, Olga, and Miguel were attentive to my guests throughout the entire event. They were incredibly professional, made sure everything was set up beautifully, and handled the cleanup swiftly and seamlessly. They truly helped make the evening stress-free for me, allowing me to enjoy my husband’s special celebration. And the food—WOW! Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and a huge hit with our guests. There was plenty of food, and everyone raved about how good it was. Great American BBQ truly exceeded my expectations. From the outstanding customer service to the delicious food and wonderful staff, they helped make my husband’s 60th birthday celebration a very special and memorable occasion. I would highly recommend Great American BBQ to anyone looking for excellent food, professional service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your event special. A very special thank-you to Christine, Lucio, Olga, and Miguel for helping make our celebration so wonderful!

The Great American BBQ Company catered our company summer party, and they were absolutely incredible! From the very first conversation, Christine was amazing. She was patient, responsive, and incredibly helpful with every question I had. She guided me through the entire planning process and was so thoughtful and careful with every detail, which made everything feel easy and completely stress-free. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was outstanding! Christine, Lucio, Dalia, and the entire team were professional, attentive, friendly, and truly wonderful to work with. On the day of the event, they made sure everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly from beginning to end. Our guests loved the food, and we received so many compliments! You could really see how much care they put into every detail, from the setup and presentation to the service and overall experience. They helped make our company summer party a huge success, and I cannot recommend Great American BBQ Company enough. We were beyond happy with everything and would absolutely hire them again!

We hired The Great American BBQ for our building's annual July 4th bash with over 100 guests, and we had a fantastic experience all around! From the warm hospitality during our initial inquiry to the impressive food tasting and seamless execution the day of the event, planning felt effortless. Everyone raved about the BBQ spread and friendly staff. Kudos to Christine and her team for providing a top-notch experience—we highly recommend booking them and look forward to working with them again!

Great American BBQ recently catered a fabulous birthday party for my extended family (50 people). We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience--from menu planning to set-up, service, and clean-up, the entire team led by Delia was professional, adept, and fun. The Barbacoa Taqueria, brownie sundae bar, and Taste of Summer beverages were delicious and plentiful. Everyone raved and we were able to relax and enjoy it all. Highly recommend!
