We had Southbound BBQ cater our awards event. They were amazing! Brad and his team did an incredible job with being accommodating. They were so easy to work with. Everything was delicious and everyone loved it!

We just used Southbound for my sisters "baby que" baby shower. They were so easy to work with from picking the menus to coordinating arrival times. The food was incredible! And the best part was there was little to no cleanup after they left! Will definitely be having them at our next party

Can't say enough good things about Southbound BBQ and crew. Had the food truck for a 60th birthday party and it was fabulous. Did the 2 meats/2 sides dinner. Portions were huge. Service was great - courteous, professional, on time. Everyone was raving about the night. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and excellent customer service! The owner is super responsive and was really in touch with our needs. The crew that came out to our event was efficient, detail-oriented and pleasant. We couldn't have been happier with the whole process. Highly recommend for a flawless event!

Southbound BBQ recently catered my family Christmas party. They were so easy to work with from the very beginning. They had so many fantastic food choices to select from, and their pricing was straight forward. Communication was thorough and consistent leading up to the very day of the event. My family was so surprised to see a food truck pull into the driveway the day of the party. The food quality was excellent and the servers made it so fun for us.Would definitely use for another event!

We hired Southbound BBQ for our annual ugly sweater themed award party for our membership community. The event was a hit, thanks in no small part to Brad and his team's efforts. Not only was the coordination seamless, but the food was also exceptional. My wife and I particularly enjoyed the leftovers, which we got to enjoy for the following week - a testament to the quality and care they put into their work. The staff was professional, efficient, and friendly while delivering plates of 2 meats and 2 sides. We ordered food for 75 people, and we had 75 eat and we still somehow had leftover food for my wife and I to eat for the following days! Our members also raved! We will definitely book them again! You should too.

Working with Southbound BBQ was one of the best parts of my wedding.Firstly, their pricing is INCREDIBLE. I contacted Brad and his team a year prior to my wedding date, and I knew from the first interaction that they were a great choice. Brad took the time to chat with my Dad and I, walk us through exactly how he prices everything, talked us through all of our options and was extremely flexible in order to make my wedding EXACTLY what I wanted. We ended up feeding 125 guests with PLENTY of leftovers through their food truck. They did e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. Apps, coffee, desserts, food, drinks, bar service, etc... with the food and service I received I would've paid twice what I did and had no problem.Secondly, the food/service. I come from a family of foodies, so I KNEW my food had to be good at my wedding. When I first came for my tasting 6+ months out I was blown away at how good the food was, and somehow it was 5x better on the day. Despite a tropical storm on my wedding day, his team was fast, efficient, courteous, and food was warm and tasty.Overall, I never once had a moment where I worried about my catering because I knew "Southbound's got me." They were a 20/10 on my wedding day. They were delightful, and I have recommended to every one of my engaged friends to contact them. Thank you for making my wedding day so special, Southbound!!!

We had Southbound BBQ out for our annual Halloween party and the food was phenomenal!!! Everyone raved on the authentic bbq flavor and taste. I’m pretty sure some people at the party were wanting to use him for their own events. I would definitely hire him again for any future party. Highly recommend!!!!

Based on the reviews and photos on Southbound's social media, we put a deposit down to make sure we reserved them for our wedding this past October - before ever tasting the food.... This was the best decision we could have made in the entire wedding planning process.Southbound BBQ took care of our cocktail hour, (INCLUDING THE BARTENDERS for our entire wedding) and dinner, and from beginning to end it was amazing.Brad and his team are so incredible, it's hard to put into words. We had a DIY wedding, so Brad's experience and insight was beyond welcome and appreciated! During our tasting we flat out knew we had to have brisket, spare ribs and herb chicken for our wedding. No exaggeration, almost every single guest came up to us to tell us just how amazing cocktail hour, and dinner was.Brad's team made everything seamless. His team seemed genuinely happy and excited to be there for our big day and the experience was beyond measure.We truly cannot thank Brad and his team enough for making our special day so memorable and fun. We are going to make every and any excuse possible to find Southbound BBQ's truck when it's out and about because it's just that good.If you are looking for the real deal, some of the best dang BBQ you've ever tasted, with some of the best customer experience possible, you've found it!

We were set on having a food truck for our wedding this past September (2023). Southbound was recommended by our wedding venue. We read the reviews and were very impressed. I cannot say enough good things about Brad and his company. They were on top of everything from the start of our wedding planning in April of 2022. He initially did a phone call with me and gave me a great run down of everything. We then met for a food tasting which was a great experience with my dad, husband and mother in law. All of the food was AMAZING. Brad was always quick to respond and always kind. The wedding day went smoothly. I was a bit worried about it taking awhile to get people through the line but that was not an issue at all. So many guests commented on how great the food was. Brad also purchased the utensils that I wanted and dropped them off ahead of time at the venue for us to set up. I 10\10 recommend Brad and his team. Great food and great people!

From the initial contact with Brad and after the event, everything was flawless. The communication was superb; the menu options were plentiful; the flexibility and suggestions to make the event better were appreciated; they showed up on time, were able to get everyone served quickly; the food was delicious and all of our employees enjoyed the meal; the service levels provided by Steph and Brock were just what we needed; the follow-up during and after the event was great. Brad did all he could to ensure our expectations were exceeded and they absolutely were! We will definitely contact Brad for future company events. You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Brad and team! :)

We planned a private house party for about 60 people, and it turned out to be a fantastic event! Could not have been happier with the top notch service and the outstanding food provided by your team. From the initial conversation with owner Brad, who was super friendly and customer focused --to working with his on-site team who were very professional and friendly too-- everything turned out as wonderful as I had hoped. We loved the catered hors d'oerves, and am so glad we did that! It was definitely worth the cost. We chose pigs in blankets, and apple pork mini tacos, which were just terrific. There were plenty to go around, and the servers were delightful and great at getting around to all the guests!. We received great feedback, on the menu, and guests loved the options of bone or boneless chicken breasts, brisket and ribs, and the sides of mac/ cheese and baked beans were a great hit! The team was also superb at clean up and wrapping up leftovers.The only thing that would have been the icing on the cake, would be to have had a posted menu available for guests to read as they approached the buffet.--that way guests could "see" what was available and decide on their choices before being served. I had seen that in some of the pictures, so was a little bummed that I hadn't made the time to do that myself. It would have made it easier for the catering team too, I think- but as i said they exceeded expectations! Thanks to Brad, and all of his team. Southbound BBQ was SOOOO Good, that we want to have another party just to have them back! They made our party a huge success! Chris Kelly
