    They were extremely considerate of and willing to go along with how we want our wedding to be organized and food service presented.

    The food got high regards and compliments from all our guests and they helped us very much in consulting both our menu choices and the timing of their services.

    You won't regret hiring Fat Bobs!!

    We had the best experience with Fat Bobs! The prices were extremely reasonable and the food was DELICOUS. They got 150 people through the buffet line in under 40 minutes, so we had PLENTY of time to enjoy our night and relax! The service was impeccable!

    The best caterer!

    We used Fat Bobs for our alcohol and dinner service! The communication was so reassuring. They were amazing at the wedding didn’t even know the girls were there. Everyone had their drinks and the food was amazing…can’t recommend them enough!

    Service and Food A+++

    MJ Rocks!!! Food was on point (just as good as it is in the restaurant.) The staff was friendly and efficient. They served and cleaned up and packed up leftovers. If you don't book fat bob's and MJ you are making a mistake.

    so amazing!!

    We did fat bobs buffet and bar for our wedding and the food was absolutely delicious. MJ was awesome to work with and responded so quickly. On the wedding day she made sure my husband and I got our plates first and even made sure we had drinks always in our hand. All of our guests were raving about the food and asking about it days later. Fat bobs was the best decision we ever made!!!

    Wonderful experience - truly a delight!

    I got to work with the team at Fat Bob's for a recent outdoor wedding and the experience could not have been better. The professionalism that Bridget and her team showed through the entire process was phenomenal. Her communication from the initial request all the way to the end of the event was incredible. She made the bride and groom feel like the most important people on earth at their wedding (as they should feel) and I really enjoyed their attention to detail. From a coordination and execution standpoint, they could not have done better. I absolutely recommend them to anyone!

    Fat Bobs delivers the BEST wedding food around!

    Fat Bobs was such a pleasure to communicate with! Bridget was amazing, She was so accommodating and caring through the entire process. Our guests were raving about how delicious the food was and we were so happy with how everything looked and tasted. I’m only sad I didn’t get any left over collard greens because they were amazing!! Everything ran so smooth from start to finish and topped off the most perfect day! Thank you Fat Bobs, you guys rock!

    Fat Bob's = EXCELLENT FOOD, Great Value, and Professional Staff

    One of the smartest decisions my wife and I made for our big day was entrusting Fat Bob's to be our caterer. Our entrees included homemade mac and cheese, pulled pork & pulled chicken, creole salad, cornbread, and grilled veggies. Everything was delicious and we got a ton of compliments from our guests. Bridget and her catering team at Fat Bob's were very responsive and professional - they even made a couple last minute changes for two of my guests who were gluten free & vegan. I would highly recommend Fat Bob's to any couple wanting excellent food at a very fair price for their wedding day!

    Bride 7/20/19 wedding

    I don’t know where to start! Fat Bob’s was amazing! They catered our wedding at hayloft in the grove. The food was delicious, everything was just as good as when you go into the restaurant to eat or even better! We had one vegetarian guest and the manager at fat bobs Bridget went out of her way to plate up her food and be sure she had a full delicious dinner as well. The crab cake appetizers were to die for! We heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests about the food and service! We also had fat bobs cater our alcohol and I can’t say enough about how quick the bartenders where. If they noticed a line at the bar other staff would jump in and help until the line died down.
    Bridget (the manager) was so understanding, just days before my grandmother unexpectedly passed away and a two other couples that were unexpectedly sick couldn’t come, she was so understanding and reimbursed us for there plates and sent us a sympathy card. Everyone was so kind and wonderful I truly can’t thank them enough for making our dinner/ drinks perfect on our big day!

    Best Catering Ever

    We never have a bad meal at fat Bob's restaurant. Catering we always think tastes different but that is NOT the case here. The food was just as impressive as it is when you sit down in the restaurant. Their service was incredible. We hired them for bar as well and had equally impressed experience. The team that worked the wedding got multiple compliments from our guests!!

    Wedding Reception

    Fat Bob's provided a delicious menu for our wedding and at a reasonable price. We loved having a private sampling before our menu was chosen although we must admit it wasn't the first or last time we have made a trip there to eat! The staff was friendly, accommodating and on top of the meal/beverage portions of the night! As a bride I did not have to worry about a single thing! Everyone was amazing! Thanks again for making our special occasion that much more special! We still get asked where we got our catering from!

    Look no further- by far the Best food catering choice!

    Everyone remembers what you had for food whether it’s a party, wedding, etc. We hired Fat Bobs for our wedding of approx 120 guests. This was the best food choice and everyone still remembers it! Anything from the pulled pork, ribs and the Mac! After eating here before and after our meeting, it was a no brainer. We made the right choice and do not regret it! Everyone enjoyed the food and there was something for everyone.

    Great Barbecue!

    My daughter’s wedding was catered by Fat Bob’s. Delicious, fun, easy to work with. Bridget was wonderful about everything, everyone loved the food (particularly the brisket). It couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Highly recommend.

    Went well above and beyond

    The quality of the food was only exceeded by the service the staff provided. Starting from the planning phase they helped with every decision and were incredibly responsive for they question I had. I can not say enough about how helpful the staff were on site. They communicated extremely well which helped everything go off without a hitch. They took the initiative to help in every way I could have asked for, in short, they made it easy to concentrate on my mom's wedding knowing they had everything on their end under complete control. As far as the food, EVERYONE raved, including the vegetarian/vegan guests which I thought might be an issue ordering bbq. And lastly, the value, I went to several other bbq caterers and they were either equal to or less than the others that did not offer the services they did. The other pricing was based on drop off services. I could not recommend then more.

    Wonderful!!

    Fat Bob's was wonderful from the beginning. I live out of town and was having an outdoor reception (for about 100 people). Bridget helped with everything! How to set up the food and tables, timing, suggestions, etc. She made me feel completely comfortable with all my decisions - and was always available for help. The on-site staff was great! They were very attentive.. oh and, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, of course! I would use Fat Bob's for any occasion!
