Barbecue Catering for Schools and Universities

Barbecue Catering for Schools and Universities


3 minute read

When it comes to spring events at schools and universities, barbecue catering is the real MVP. Teacher Appreciation Week, end-of-year celebrations, graduation parties - it’s all happening fast, and you need a game plan that doesn’t involve scrambling for 200 sandwiches at the last minute.

Enter Sonny Bryan’s. We’re here to bring the slow-smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and crowd-pleasing sides that make every event feel a little more like a celebration (and a lot less like cafeteria duty).

Why Barbecue Catering is Perfect for Schools

  • Built to Feed a Crowd: Whether it’s a teacher luncheon, a department celebration, or a full-blown senior sendoff, barbecue catering handles big appetites without breaking a sweat.
  • Everyone’s Favorite: Brisket lovers, rib fans, mac & cheese enthusiasts—BBQ hits every note. (Plus, our vegetarian sides mean no one gets left out.)
  • Stress-Free Setup: We deliver the goods hot and ready, complete with plates, napkins, and legendary Sonny Bryan’s BBQ sauce. You just bring the hungry crowd.

Teacher Appreciation Done Right

Teachers deserve more than a sad store-bought cake and a lukewarm "thank you." Barbeque catering turns Teacher Appreciation Week into a real event.

  • Set up a DIY BBQ buffet where teachers can pile their plates high.
  • Go for individually packaged meals for a grab-and-go lunch that still feels special.
  • Throw in peach cobbler or banana pudding for bonus points—because grading papers deserves a sweet reward.

When you show up with brisket, you’re not just saying "thanks"—you’re saying "we appreciate you enough to bring out the good stuff."

Graduation Parties, Senior Nights, and Beyond

Spring isn’t just for teachers—it’s full of moments that call for a great meal. Graduation parties, senior breakfasts, athletic banquets, honor roll celebrations—barbecue catering works for all of it.

  • Set up a brisket and sausage station for a graduation party that’ll have people skipping the tiny finger sandwiches.
  • Order catering for a senior night that feels more “best night ever” and less “awkward cafeteria pizza.”
  • Celebrate your scholars (and your sanity) with food that’s as memorable as the milestones.

Make It Easy on Yourself

Planning school events can feel like herding cats. Good news: barbecue catering is one thing you can cross off your list fast. With Sonny Bryan’s, you’ll get customizable packages, easy ordering, and the kind of food that people actually talk about afterward—in a good way.
