    Mrs & Mr

    We loved having Old SLO BBQ Co. cater our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was amazing and very helpful in making decisions about the menu and logistics. The quality of the food and overall service was outstanding. The BBQ was extremely professional and delivered great quality dishes that our guests raved about. There was plenty of food for all with many going back for seconds. The brisket, ribs, and sides like the mac and cheese were big hits. We would highly recommend Old SLO BBQ Co. for any catering needs - they helped make our wedding day extremely memorable for us and our guests.

    Amazing food and great service

    Can’t say enough good things about Old SLO! They were so helpful from start to finish and the food was amazing. We got so many compliments including “this is the best food I’ve had at a wedding.” People loved that it is just good food. Nothing fussy or overly complicated but still good variety and just generally crowd pleasing! Thanks Kevin and team :)

    Highly Recommend!!

    We used Old SLO BBQ Co. to cater our wedding 4/16/22 and they did an AMAZING job! The food was absolutely delicious and we had so many compliments from everyone who attended. So many people went back for seconds as well! From the very beginning Kevin was great at communicating with us! We got to try some of the food ahead of time to make sure what we wanted, they came out to the venue to see the setup plan ahead of time, and were so extremely accommodating the day of! I can't say enough great things about Kevin and his whole crew! Thank you so much!!!
