Artisan BBQ, Delivered to Venice
Venice is one of our favorite cities to cater — beachside weddings, downtown corporate events, the Venice Theatre, and the Venice Yacht Club all keep us busy. From the Island to East Venice, we serve every neighborhood.
Full BBQ catering and food truck service across Venice, including the Island, East Venice, Plantation, Jacaranda, and the Venetian Golf & River Club. Beach weddings on Venice Beach and Caspersen are a specialty.
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 Venice. We arrive early, set up completely, serve every guest hot, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.

We ordered from the food truck on Wednesday at Backporch Brewery. Great stuff. The 2-meat dinner was plenty for two of us — ribs and pulled pork with mac and cheese and potatoes. It filled both of us and was delicious. I would also order again without hesitation.

I'm a Chicago boy, and food in Florida let's just say lacks most of the time. Oh no, not this place — it delivers some of the hands down best, fall-off-the-bone, flavor-packed ribs and delicious sides. The kind of BBQ that surprises you in the best possible way.

Best BBQ in Southwest Florida. Try the parfait, it's insane!! Made-from-scratch side dishes and a smoker that never stops. You will swear there's crack in it. You have to find him — I use Facebook to see where he is when I'm fiendish.
