The photos speak for themself. Melissa is a magician with a grazing table. She went for the full WOW. Everyone was shocked and delighted. I’d also like to point out that they were AFFORDABLE!! I was quoted 3 to 5x what they quoted me by other restaurants that would have done half of what they did for us. I had 5 chefs (including one James Beard nominee) on my guest list and every single one complimented the food. Lakeland BBQ’s crew were truly fair and Melissa was the absolute best from start to finish. The staff was incredible and so attentive too. They have my business for life, from their incredible bbq to their grazing tables (they do Tex mex and tasty Italian too!) I won’t be booking anyone else but them!!
