About HI5 BBQ

HI5 BBQ

Partner

Our passion for great BBQ goes back over 25 years. After attending a few weddings catered by other BBQ companies, we realized something — we could do it better. That’s when HI5 BBQ was born. We make everything fresh to order for each event — nothing reheated, nothing made in bulk. We believe that a wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and the food should reflect that. The BBQ should be outstanding, the service top-notch, and your vendor should be as passionate about your day as you are.

At HI5 BBQ, everything is made fresh for your event — no shortcuts, no reheats. Even our buns come from a local baker who makes them fresh daily. We’re not your frou-frou, fancy wedding caterer — we’re all about high-quality, unforgettable BBQ that makes your big day even better. Our guests rave that our pulled pork is unlike anything they’ve ever had, and our corn pudding and mac ’n’ cheese are almost as legendary as our smoked meats. If you want real BBQ flavor with Southern soul and a touch of Minnesota pride — we’ve got you covered.

    Great food and service

    Had Hi5 BBQ provide a great assortment of meats and sides. Corn pudding was a real hit. Chopped brisket was demolished and the pulled chicken and pork were a wonderful addition. Fresh food delivered with care. Thank you. All the sides were amazing

    Nothing but wonderful things to say about HI5 and Rick! I had them cater an event for about 150 people from all over the country and every one absolutely loved the dinner! Communication was quick and easy, he was willing to accommodate my requests, and delivered/ set-up the food so it was hot and fresh at the event. I absolutely recommend!

    Hi5 BBQ was incredible! We had an outdoor wedding of 200 and everyone was raving about how great the food was. They braved some rainy weather and had everything set up perfectly. We would absolutely use them again in the future.

No...we are caterer's only, so we have to deliver. There may be additional fees for services beyond just a monitored buffet.
Yes, our event minimum is $600 for all weddings.
For summer and fall weddings, we recommend at least 10 months in advance.
While we don't offer those services directly, we have great all in one partners who can accommodate all those needs. We focus on the food, but understand you will need more.
Yes...25% to hold the date, another 25% two months prior to the date and the balance on the day of the event.
