About this venue
Bad to the Bone BBQ Catering & Event's Center is the epitome of rustic beauty and modern sophistication. As a premier wedding caterer, we specialize in providing exceptional service and delicious food for intimate weddings and events. Our rustic and modern banquet hall boasts a spacious patio and a beautifully furnished bar. The industrial chandeliers perfectly complement the solid wood tables and stone accents. In addition to our venue, we also provide off-site catering and event services. Our experienced team will work closely with you to bring your vision to life whether its a wedding, birthday, or any party. We take great pride in our cuisine, and our highly-skilled Executive Chef Javier Hernandez prepares a diverse range of dishes to please every palate. While our famous BBQ is a crowd favorite, we also offer a variety of other cuisines to choose from. Our "real pit BBQ" meats are slow-cooked in a J&R wood-burning pit over hickory wood, imparting a mouthwatering smokey flavor.

Bad to the Bone BBQ provided an exceptional experience for our wedding reception. Their communication was timely, kind, efficient, caring, and thorough throughout the planning process. The space had a great atmosphere, and the food was simply amazing - the best BBQ in the area with more meat than bone. We had a very personalized experience, and they clearly showed genuine care in making our special day memorable. The team at Bad to the Bone BBQ went above and beyond to ensure our wedding reception was perfect.
