Get a Party QuoteBirthdays, graduations, holidays, backyard blowouts.
Birthdays, graduations, retirement parties, family reunions, holiday gatherings — the events you'll remember. We handle the food so you can actually enjoy your own party. Drop-off catering for smaller crews; full-service setup with a pitmaster on-site for the big ones.
Every event we cater is planned with the same level of care — whether it's a 15-person backyard birthday or a 400-person corporate launch. We source certified organic chicken, hand-select our brisket cuts, and smoke everything low and slow over real hardwood before finishing with our signature sous vide technique. That combination gives you a bark that cracks and a center that melts — texture and flavor most BBQ operations simply can't replicate.
And it's not just the meats. Our sides are made from scratch — the Russian Coleslaw (hand-shredded cabbage, fresh cucumbers, white vinegar, dill) has become something of a cult item in Southwest Florida. Ask anyone who's been to an event we catered. Based in North Port, FL, we serve the entire Gulf Coast corridor: Venice, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Englewood, Punta Gorda, and beyond.

Best brisket I've ever had in Florida. The sous vide finish makes it unbelievably tender.

We hired BBQ Art Co. for our daughter's wedding rehearsal. Three years later, our family still talks about that brisket.
