Barbecue catering is the ultimate summer power move. It’s built to feed a crowd, handle the heat, and turn any backyard, office lawn, or cul-de-sac into an instant party zone.
Because let’s be honest… grilling for 30 while managing drink duty and playlist control? That’s not summer. That’s stress.
Why Barbecue Catering Is Built for Summer
Barbecue doesn’t just taste like summer; it is summer. It’s casual enough for a laid-back vibe, hearty enough to satisfy big appetites, and travels better than your aunt’s seven-layer dip. Plus, when you order from Sonny Bryan’s, you’re getting food that was made to be enjoyed outdoors, under string lights, and around lawn chairs.
Here’s how to make your next summer event delicious, low-effort and stress-free.
1. Choose a Menu That Moves
When you’re planning a summer event, mobility matters. You want dishes that can hold up to travel and still wow when they land on the table.
- Brisket: Holds heat like a champ and stays juicy.
- Sausage and Pulled Pork: Flavor-packed and flexible, whether it’s plated or piled onto a bun.
- BBQ Chicken: A crowd favorite that pleases picky eaters and keto fans alike.
Pair with sides like mac and cheese, baked beans, potato salad or coleslaw, and you’ve got yourself a feast that fits on a folding table.
2. Think Beyond the Backyard
Our barbecue catering team delivers more than food; we bring the party. Planning a:
- Neighborhood block party? We’ll drop off enough brisket to feed the whole cul-de-sac.
- Poolside birthday bash? Our packaging keeps everything hot and intact while you keep cool.
- Company field day? We’ll help you fuel the three-legged race and the boss’s attempt at cornhole glory.
3. Let Us Do the Heavy Lifting
We get it – you’re busy lining up summer plans, not disposable chafing dishes. That’s why we:
- Offer preset packages so you can order in under a minute.
- Include utensils, napkins and sauce with every order.
- Provide delivery and setup if you need it (and you probably do).
4. No Venue? No Problem.
Don’t forget, Sonny Bryan’s has event space too. Host your summer gathering in our Mustang Room and let us handle it all, from the smoked meat to the A/C.
5. Pro Tips for a Seamless Event
- Estimate your headcount generously – barbecue catering tends to attract the neighbors.
- Let us know if you need drinks, desserts, or options for kids… we’ve got ‘em.
- Keep things simple: pick 2–3 meats, 2–3 sides, and let the BBQ do the talking.
