Mac and his crew showed up right on time, were incredibly professional, and came fully prepared with everything needed for catering. The food was fantastic and they kept the line moving smoothly all night. More people showed up than we had originally anticipated, and while I was getting nervous, Mac handled everything with total grace. He was prepared and made sure we were still able to feed everyone without any issues. I would highly recommend Hefty Boy BBQ Catering to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious caterer. And last but not least... the best pulled pork I have ever had. It literally melted in your mouth!

The booking process was incredibly smooth thanks to Brittany, who was fast, responsive, and made planning easy. On the day of the event, Julie, our on-site coordinator, was wonderful to work with. She was organized, friendly, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. A special thank you to Julie Oakes, Derek Gustine, and Allan Denick-Zielstra. Their positive attitudes, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate our guests truly stood out. They were attentive throughout the event and helped create a welcoming, enjoyable experience for everyone. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the entire event was executed flawlessly. I'm still dreaming about the potato salad and cornbread! We couldn't have asked for a better catering partner and would absolutely use Phil's BBQ Catering again and again for future corporate events. Highly recommend!

Love, love, love the seasonings used on the chicken. I must admit I'm addicted to the chicken! The owner John and his wife Doreena are awesome and very friendly which makes all the difference and you do look forward to coming back.

This family makes legit smoked meat!! I'm a bbq snob that always struggles to find great bbq and smoked meats in SD. Most of my family lives in Texas so we usually load up on brisket and ribs when we go. Now we don't have to go that far. Got the ribs today. Great smoke ring, terrific flavor, very juicy, and the bbq sauce is delicious and doesn't try to steal the show. He let me try the brisket too, and it is amazing. I'll get that next time. Potato salad is a great side. We will be coming back many times! Go out of your way to try their bbq. Outstanding!!!

Sausage was also very good. Juicy, a little bit of spice and smokey. Chicken was also very good. Bone-in chicken thighs with a good but not overwhelming char. Retained much if its moisture. Pulled pork was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad but overshadowed by the other phenomenal items. Sauce was good. Too full to eat the sides so I can't comment on that. Amazing food. Great value. Big fan.

The location is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful seating along an outdoor patio that's covered, and under shaded umbrellas outside. There was seating inside as well, but the beauty of the view along the patio area was too much to resist. The service was also wonderful as well; the people working there were very pleasant. I also enjoyed that they had an option where you could pay a small amount and order a drink for the kitchen, which I happily did; they more than earned it. The food took a little bit of time, but that's simply because it's made with exquisite care. The flavors were absolutely fresh, the meat savory, and it was phenomenal with or without sauce on it. And the locally crafted hard cider was so crisp and fresh, easily among the best I've ever had; it was perfect for a nice warm day. If you are making a day trip or a prolonged vacation to Julian, this is one place you do not want to miss.

They also have live music on certain evenings which is really nice. There is often a wait for a table. Service varies a lot! Sometimes it is awesome and other times really lacking. The food also varies. My husband loves the tri-tip sandwich, but they often run out of tri-tip, and it can be delicious or dry and tough. I gave up on tri-tip because of the lack of consistency. I really like the brisket burrito. It's even better than the meat plates. And the brisket in general is really good. The sides are pretty good but none of us are crazy about the fries. They also have a kids menu which is nice. And if you save room for dessert, as simple as it is, the hot fudge sundae is a favorite. Over all I would recommend this place. It's a relaxing place to chill, have a meal and a beer, listen to some music or watch a game on the tv, and let the kids run and play so they aren't bored.
