Luongo Barbecue

Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)

Starts at $2,500
Serves Altoona, PA

Preparing and serving slow smoked, expertly prepared Texas barbecue and rustic Italian inspired dishes is the greatest joy in my life. There are no short cuts in barbecue and that's what I love about it. We started Luongo Barbecue to glorify the Lord and grow the Kingdom of God. We use the business as a means to feed and serve our community. After spending 30 years in Texas we have relocated to central Pennsylvania to begin working with family on the next chapter of Luongo Barbecue. Winners of "Best in Show" and "Best Entrée" at Taste of Western Lancaster County 2025 for our brisket, pulled pork and peach cobbler!

“Luongo Barbecue was the perfect caterer for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was consistent, friendly, and fast. They were incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they arrived and set everything up seamlessly - I didn't even know they were there, which is exactly what a bride wants on her special day. And the food? Amazing! Delicious and consistent, it was a huge hit with all of our guests. People are still raving about it days later and wishing they could have taken some home. I would recommend Luongo Barbecue 100% - they were so understanding and attentive throughout the entire process. Their amazing service and incredible food made our wedding day that much more special.”

They listened carefully to all my needs and provided thoughtful suggestions that made the entire process stress-free. The team at Glad Mouf truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my special day. The food was absolutely incredible! The oxtail was tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that had just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The crab fried rice was another standout—packed with juicy crab meat and a delicious combination of flavors. It was the perfect balance of savory and just the right amount of richness. I’ve had many versions of crab fried rice, but this one was top-tier. As for the overall experience, the quality and value of their work were exceptional. The portions were generous, and the food was served fresh and hot, even though they were catering to a large crowd. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was.
