Cindy and her Team were absolutely amazing. Being celiac, we had a Taco Bar for dinner and Mashed Potato Bar for Cocktail Hour and Cindy was more than happy to walk me through her ingredient and plans which was greatly appreciated. My guests still talk about how amazing the food was, and I don't disagree! Dessert was a cookie Bar. Cindy's team was amazing and more than happy to make all the items gluten free and even used my recipes. The chocolate mousse with raspberries was divine. We couldn't be happier with Cindy and her Team!

Johnny Slaws BBQ & Catering

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Tumwater, WA

Johnny Slaws BBQ & Catering provides authentic, slow-smoked barbecue. Whether you want the fun, interactive experience of our food truck, an elegant buffet presentation, or fully plated and served meals, we customize every event to fit your vision. From backyard celebrations to upscale receptions, our team delivers premium BBQ, homemade sides, and memorable hospitality that your guests will be talking about long after the last dance. Food Truck. Buffet. Plated Service. One unforgettable meal. Let Johnny Slaws BBQ & Catering bring the perfect blend of comfort, class, and authentic barbecue to your wedding celebration.

Johnny Slaws BBQ is less of a restaurant and more of a beautifully seasoned crime scene. The brisket was so tender it practically confessed before I even picked up the fork. The pulled pork had clearly been through something traumatic, but whatever happened to it was delicious. Every bite tasted like a pitmaster made a deal with an ancient smoke demon and somehow got the better end of the bargain. The mac and cheese was dangerously creamy, the slaw provided just enough freshness to make me forget I was consuming enough meat to alarm a cardiologist, and the sauce tasted like it had been simmered in a cauldron under a blood moon. I arrived as a normal, functioning member of society. I left covered in barbecue sauce, staring blankly into the distance, wondering how soon it would be socially acceptable to return. Five stars. Tell my family I died doing what I loved.

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.

  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Tumwater, WA for additional fees

At Old Ballard Catering Co., our motto is "Life Deserves To Be Delicious" and this could not be more true than on your wedding day! Our team of hospitality obsessed, industry professionals are well versed in every part of the wedding planning process. From custom menus and tastings, to space and rental coordination, vendor recommendations and more, we would be honored to be a part of such a special time in your life!

I cannot say enough good things about Old Ballard Catering Co.! Old Ballard recently helped to cater our wedding and was amazing throughout the whole process! When our venue suddenly shut down in January and we had to find a new venue, our new venue recommended Old Ballard Catering Co. and I cannot be happier. They jumped into action helping us figure out our new plan and what rentals we would need, offering a delicious tasting of our wedding food which made us so excited for the big day (I still dream about their Soba Noodle Salad), and asking and answering all of the critical questions leading up to the big day. Day of, Jo Ann and Pete were the first smiles I saw, offering a big hug and congrats as I walked through the door before they jetted off to make our wedding dream come to life. I truly cannot recommend Old Ballard Catering Co. and their team enough! A BIG thanks to the whole team for making our special day magical!
