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!!

In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests.
