Artisan BBQ, Delivered to Sarasota

Sarasota is the cultural and corporate heart of SW Florida — and BBQ Art Co. caters everything from gallery openings on Palm Avenue to corporate luncheons at Lakewood Ranch. Our smoke meets the city's polish.

We cater across all of Sarasota — downtown, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, Fruitville Road corporate parks, and the University Town Center area. Travel fees apply for events east of I-75 beyond Lakewood Ranch.

What does that mean in practice? It means the same low-and-slow smoked brisket finished sous vide, the same scratch-made Russian Coleslaw, and the same certified organic chicken wings that made BBQ Art Co. a staple in North Port — delivered to your venue in Sarasota. We arrive early, set up completely, serve every guest hot, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.

Smelling the meats waiting in line to order and I knew the food was going to hit. Best brisket, the brisket baked beans stole the show. Can't wait to try more next time.

This BBQ is ART!! It's so good! They don't cut a single corner or skip even one step. It's BBQ as fresh and cared for as it gets!! It's obvious when you take your first bite. The brisket is so good you will be chasing them down trying to find them every week.

Absolutely outstanding, great bang for your buck. I told them make me two of your best plates and they did not disappoint. $40 for a great amount of food. Had to speed home just to hurry up and try it. We will definitely be back.
