Home » Catering Services » On-Site Grilling Catering

Planning a party, office lunch or backyard cookout? We have what you need to make your event complete. 

Our outdoor catering services come directly to your site to cook and serve your guests. We are on site for 2-3 hours prepping and cooking, serving for the length of your event and cleaning up for about an hour. 

Grilling is our speciality and passion, we’ve got the wood-only barbeque technique down. We’ve been bringing delicious BBQ chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hotdogs and more to events of all sizes for over 30 years!

Our staff is trained to provide clean and safe stellar service. We love seeing smiles on the faces of those enjoying our fresh delicious food and smelling the smoke from our grills.

What to Expect

Be prepared to wow your guests with sights and smells. Our grill men will set up the grill and cook everything. Having the griller onsite allows for food to be served fresh from the grill directly to the buffet. It also allows for guests who have special requests such as a well done burger to have that made especially for them.

We offer our catering services to Washington, DC, City of Alexandria, Fairfax County, Arlington County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Stafford County, Fauquier County, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Frederick County, Charles County, Calvert County, St. Mary’s County Howard County, and beyond. Just let us know what you need and we will provide a quote.
