I've used Beefalo Bob's for catering at least six - eight times now. They always provide excellent service and a true value for the price. What's not to love? Good service, on-time delivery or pick-up, and delicious food all at an affordable price! read more

I highly recommend BBC for your event needs. I like to start any request for business with independent research, I read reviews looked at pictures and it all tracked. I was able to arrange my order through a combination of text, email and phone. I considered exploring rental options such as chairs and popcorn machine but settled on food services only. I was offered some advice based on the size of my party and I'm glad I went with the recommendation. The food arrive with plenty of time for setup (provided by BBC) and a thorough rundown of how to handle food throughout the evening. My guest returned to fill plates multiple times. The food was both plentiful and great tasting. I will definitely use this delivery catering service in the future. Package purchased: pit ham, pit turkey, bbq beef, red potatoes, baked beans, cole slaw, and pasta salad. read more

Beefalo Bob's did a wonderful job preparing and delivering for a church event. We received quite a few compliments on how delicious the food was and i was very happy with their customer service over the phone to set this up. read more

I hired Beefalo Bobs to cater my wife's birthday party. They provided the tent, tables and chairs. The tent was ruling enough, my neighbors were asking where it came from. Beefalo Bons set up in my back yard a couple days in advance leaving me time to decorate. They delivered the food, setting up a BBQ buffet in a chaffing set then left, since I didn't hire serving. They delivered exactly what was requested and we had a great party! Afterwards tear down was transparent the next weekday. The food was very good and included smoked Pit Beef, Beef Barbecue, smoked turkey, and smoked ham. Roasted mixed vegetables were truly amazing, macaroni and cheese, salad, coleslaw, delicious rolls and corn bread. The portions were plentiful enough we packed leftovers out with our guests and still had enough for several leftover meals. If you are planning a large get together and don't want to cook, or are concerned about having enough space, I recommend checking Beefalo Bobs out. read more

We had a birthday party for 50 people and I knew the crowd would love barbeque. There are lots of good barbeque caterers, but I chose Beefalo Bob's because I'd heard great things about them.

We had Beefalo Bob's Catering out for a staff picnic this week. The entire experience was excellent. Heather and Milton were on site two hours before the event and cooked everything on site. They were very friendly to all our attendees and always available to answer questions or bring out anything that was needed. They provided their own tables, tents and table cloths. Everything went better than imagined at a very affordable cost. I highly recommend! read more

My son's wedding was catered by Beefalo Bob's. The server extraordinaire that delivered the food, set it up, and stayed during the event was amazing. Her name is Kristen, I believe. She went over and above in anyway she could to help out and get the job done. We would highly recommend Beefalo Bob's in the future and were thrilled with the service we were provided. The wedding was beautiful. read more

We engaged Beefalo Bob's this weekend for our birthday event. They came to our Centreville, VA location and catered to about 60 people. The staff (Heather, Justin, and Morgan) were over the top professional and capable. We chose the pig roast with brisket and bbq chicken and sides to include 2 cold and 2 hot. We were not disappointed. The food was presented perfectly and the staff so attentive to all our guests needs. We were more than satisfied from our initial call to the cleanup and close of the event. We highly recommend Beefalo Bob's. read more

I had a birthday party for my husband. I contacted Beefalo Bobs. The employees I dealt with were awesome. They were pleasant, friendly, professional and competent.

I highly recommend them. read more

Beefalo Bob's has been in the BBQ game for nearly 40 years and the quality shows! The office staff made the event planning process a breeze, as they helped me spell out details I never would've thought of on my own. The staff arrived on time and fully prepared, with a calm, confident demeanor and friendly disposition. They food was excellent! We especially enjoyed the roasted pig, accentuated with the whimsical Beefalo Bob's touch. Already looking forward to our next event! read more

We used Beefalo Bob's as the caterer for my retirement party yesterday. The catering consultant I worked with was very responsive throughout the ordering process as we tweaked our selections. We had the party at a local state park. The catering team showed up on time, set everything up perfectly, and took great care of us. We got the "Classic Menu". The meats were smoked and grilled to perfection, the shredded beef BBQ was awesome, and the hot and cold sides were outstanding. All of our guests really loved the food. I highly recommend Beefalo Bob's if you are looking for a great BBQ experience. read more

Unreliable- I ordered pick up catering for 25 people- paid in full a week in advance with a contract. When I went to pick up the food, an hour before my guests arrived as suggested, I was told that they did not have an order for me despite having paid in full and having a contract in place. It was extremely stressful being told I would not have food for my 25 guests. I had to sit there and wait for them to make it last minute. read more

How I heard of this place: After ordering a Harper's Ferry tubing adventure through LivingSocial, my friends and I were in search of the catered cuisine we would be served at the all-you-can-eat BBQ and came across Beefalo Bob's website. So, if it wasn't for LivingSocial, I may still be waiting to hear about Beefalo Bob's... Type of cuisine: "For over a quarter of a century, Beefalo Bob's has been providing Maryland and the surrounding areas with only the finest quality foods and catering services at affordable rates. Whether catering for 10 or 10,000, we guarantee the same level of professional courtesy and service. Unlike most caterers, Beefalo Bob's cooks and slices pit beef, pit ham, pit turkey, and other meats fresh on site. We smoke all of our quality bbq meats naturally, the old fashioned way, with hickory wood (instead of gas) giving them a full, mouthwatering flavor that keeps everyone coming back for more." Ambiance: Since we had a catered lunch atop a beautiful Virginia mountainside after a glorious afternoon of tubing down the river at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, we were deprived of the opportunity to see the inside of Beefalo Bob's. What I ordered: On this venture, we were given a buffet-style choice of homemade baked beans, bright orange macaroni & cheese, homemade cole slaw, potato chips, open pit shredded beef BBQ, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fresh bakery hamburger rolls and condiments (BBQ sauce, mustard, mayonnaise, horseradish and fresh, thin-sliced onions). And yes, I partook of everything listed above. And then went back for seconds. What I loved: Of everything offered, I most thoroughly enjoyed the shredded beef BBQ, for flavor, texture and consistency - perfectly shredded, some parts slightly burnt but more crispy, other parts soft and tender, juicy with BBQ sauce and not in need of any additional seasoning. The 100% beef hot dogs were also very tasty, thick and juicy. The potato chips crispy, the mac n' cheese cheesy, the cole slaw fresh and the baked beans creamy and delicious. The only thing I would skip on the next round is the burger, having been slightly dry and without the condiments I tend to enjoy (cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles). Why I loved it: I loved the friendly staff, the fresh-cooked ingredients, prepared directly in front of you, the all-you-can-eat goodness at every bite and the ability to enjoy a casual meal outdoors among friends. Cost: Low to average ($15.95 per person for on-site catering, based on 100+ guests, not including beverages) read more

We used Beefalo Bobs for our wedding back in October and they were great! Made is pretty hassle free, Michele obviously knew what she was doing and had a quick solution to every problem that came up, as we had to make alternate plans due to weather. We had four staff on duty during the reception that were all very friendly and quick to clean up. We got many compliments on them and the food! They even had a vegan option for one of my bridesmaids! There's a reason Beefalo Bob's Catering is the number 1 rated caterer on Wedding Wire! Would recommend to anyone! read more

They catered my wedding. It was perfect. Very generous portions and amazing helpful staff. It was everything I could have dreamed and hoped for. The guests have been raving about the food even a year later! Thank you Beefalo Bob's! You are truly the best! read more

We were looking for a delicious BBQ caterer for our wedding in May 2013. We had shopped around a few places and there seemed to be 2 camps, the just ok but familiar with catering; and the super great mom-and-pop that you couldn't get to call you back and didn't seem to understand how to cater for anything over 20. We saw some reviews on another site for Beefalo's and we thought we would check out their restaurant one Ravens-playoff Sunday afternoon. Boy were we in for a treat! First of all, their restaurant location is nothing to write home about, but don't let that deter you. Once they set up those tents and served us a pit beef sandwich, we knew that this was the place. The sandwich was amazing, their BBQ beef is the best I have ever had (I like it slightly sweet and saucy), the sides were really good and the drinks were strong and plenty of them. (bonus was the super-pumped Ravens fans that packed the place) The guests at our wedding are still raving about the food. We were only disappointed that we decided to leave for our honeymoon the day after our wedding, so we didn't get to enjoy a week's worth of Beefalo Bob's leftovers. One caveat: We had purchased 16 oz glasses for our party and the bartender that we hired through beefalo's was pouring them full to the brim (I like to call it "Baltimore" style) not sure if our guests needed 16 oz pours of bourbon or wine, and there wasn't a single bottle of Jim Beam left after the party, but they all had a stellar time soooo ...... :-D I can't comment too much on the staff other than to say I hardly saw them at all, I had a coordinator taking care of the day-of and I didn't hear about any disasters or mishaps. The party seemed well organized and they definitely knew what they were doing when they arrived. A few other recently-engaged couples at our wedding mentioned they might go with them as well. I hope they do, because I can't wait to have their food again! read more

For the past 5 years, our business has used Beefalo Bob for our annual Bull & Oyster Roast - usually for about 200. The food is consistently wonderful and the staff very easy to work with. We look forward to the next time we will use them. read more

Where do I begin... they catered my daughters wedding this past weekend. I thought the service was great with our tastings, questions, changes, etc. over the last year. But- Saturday was astounding. I already knew the good was delicious. The staff was polite and went over and above ... even helping pack the chargers and stemware I brought. I would recommend them for any event! read more

We had a luncheon at work and my company used Beefalo Bobs as the caterer. When they said they were getting BBQ I just knew it was going to be from this other place that they normally order from. Quite frankly, I was getting tired of the other BBQ spot but hey I was getting free food right, so I guess I was just going to deal with it and eat. When I went into the conference room, the food didn't look like the other BBQ spot, so I was relieved. There was a spread of Salad, Pit Beef, Pulled Pork, Fried Chicken, Greens, Mac and Cheese, Baked Beans and more. The Pit Beef, greens and mac and cheese were pretty good. If they have another luncheon and choose BBQ, I hope they pick this place rather than the other spot. read more

We used them for catering our wedding last year....just getting round to writing a review now. We like their BBQ so much when we found out they did catering we jumped at it. They had very fair pricing. The food was great. We served all their carved meats. I was a little worried at first because I thought their name would frighten off my future mother in law (maybe she'd think they weren't capable of an upscale event.) But they were very classy. The staff was very professional and treated all of our family and friend with respect. We would definitely use them again. And I recommend them for anyone. read more

We used Beefalo Bob's for a company picnic at the National Zoo in DC. They were great to work with! We had about 80 people to feed and had so much food leftover! The mac-n-cheese was amazing, as was the shredded beef (a little too much BBQ sauce) but still very good. We provided our own chafing dishes because they wanted to charge $100 (we spent $15 at party city..) All in all, I would use them again, you get a generous amount of food and it's decently priced. read more

They catering my wedding and did a great job. I would use them again and recommend them to others.

Beefalo Bob's catered our informal outdoor wedding on the Eastern Shore. The food was fantastic and they also arranged for the tent, tables and chairs. Working with them was extremely easy and our guests had nothing but compliments on the quality of the food. Highly recommend. read more

I've never used their banquet hall or their catering services but if they are run like the restaurant I would expect nothing but a positive experience. read more

They came up to central NJ for a friends surprise bday party!. Amazing food and amazing friendly staff! There is no pit beef, or any pit meat and bbq place anywhere I know off near me in NJ. Guests mouths and minds where blown when they tasted the delicious meats. All the sides where fresh and delicious, the fruit was super fresh. Highly recommended even if you are 3 .5 hours from their home base! read more

There hasn't been a review here of Beefalo Bob's Catering in over 2 years. I'll surely give one as a guests observation. Seems a lot has changed in 2 years. Went to an outdoor picnic over the weekend catered by them and they seemed to be behind the task 10 steps throughout the whole event. Crabs were supposed to be served before dinner and they were not. Dinner was laid out a solid hour (with the crabs) too early, before even all the guest had arrived. No mallets for the crabs. I'll repeat, no crab mallets for the crabs. Guest were banging crabs with tree branches found on the ground. No paper towels. Finally, at some point plastic bundled 5 x 5 paper napkins arrived at the table but by then crab junk was all over us and a 5 x 5 dinner napkin isn't going to do much. Slow delivery on the crabs (eat, stop, wait, eat, stop, wait). No table clean up. There were dead carcasses, trash, etc. still all over the tables when the event ended 4 hours later (2 hours after people stopped eating). One person at the meat grill, cooking, carving, serving so there was a constant backed up line. Fruit platter was full once then sat empty through the whole event. No one seemed to be in charge. Completely unorganized. Certainly not enough staff. There seemed to be no catering experience and there certainly was no leadership onsite. Amature. Food was good (really good) but delivery and presentation was a complete chaotic disaster. read more

I had originally reviewed with a 1 star rating as Beefalo Bob's Catering refused to cater our same sex wedding with the reasoning that they could not guarantee a supportive staff. Beefalo Bob's saw our initial review indicating their refusal to cater our same sex wedding, researched the emails/interactions we had, and reached out to us to apologize. They indicated the employee we were dealing with on our proposal no longer works with the company. They also assured us that they do not discriminate catering same sex weddings and have done several in the past. They also asked if there was anything they could do to make up for the mistake. I truly appreciate that they have repeatedly reached out to us to apologize and to let us know the employee in question is no longer associated with Beefalo Bob's. I amended to 3 stars as I can not rate them on their catering as I have still not used them and because the refusal did mar an otherwise amazing experience. However I am happy they made efforts to address the situation. Given their repeated gestures to apologize, I like to believe that our experience was an anomaly and that they have taken measures to instruct their remaining staff that this is not their policy. I would consider them in the future for an event. read more

So had Beefalo Bob's cater a wedding recently (sept 20 2020). Tent set up (which was through them as well) was great and have no complaints other than had to hassle to get a tent provided for the food that was in the contract. After much discussion they said you will get the 12x12 tent for food. A little pop up tent arrived. I can overlook one thing, but then we ended up running out of most of the food, plates and plastic silverware. All the reviews said how you will have plenty of food leftover so very disappointed. We upped total early on from 18 to 24 and think they only provided for original amount. But we also added wine and champagne glasses and the number provided was correct. So obviously no one could take any home, which we had bought containers specifically for. I would say everyone was happy on the taste of the food, just not the amount. Not trying to rail on them, but we were simply overcharged on what was provided. The planning aspect was a good at first but then became sketchy after we made our deposit. Issues we presented were dismissed and thus he we are. We had to pay extra for chafing dishes for the food which should have been included in original cost. Great reviews when we were looking, but did not live up to our expectations for a once in your lifetime event! Buyer beware read more

The food was excellent and the service was even better! They were very easy to work with and helped us with everything we needed. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a caterer to contact Beefalo's Catering read more

I had a fundraiser at the Beefalo Bobs hall, Reflections, over the weekend and it was awesome. Everyone kept telling me how good the food was. Shannon was very helpful. Ive been there a couple times for events but this is the first time I did my own event and she was a BIG help. I will call Shannon for the next event i have!! read more

The staff was great, but late. Food was not served until 25 minutes after scheduled dinner time, pit beef, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob were not served until after everyone had eaten. Fresh fruit was not maintained through the first serving. Macaroni and cheese and baked beans were, at best, room temperature and tasted cool when I ate them. Maybe not heated yet? The sample food and the food at the restaurant was fantastic but they failed to deliver for the 72 guest event. Many guests questioned our wisdom in using them. I've asked for the manager to contact me to explain, we'll see if he follows through. Manager, Matt called right after I posted this. He was very apologetic and wanted to make it right. He handled it very professionally and I will do business with them again. The whole problem had to do with the staff's late arrival. The food that did get out in time to eat was great and included pit turkey, pit ham, BBQ beef, salad, BBQ chicken and several other items. Their selection and quality was fantastic but execution on this one event left something to be desired. read more

NEVER again will I use Beefalo Bob's for my catering needs...when I set up the contract for 100 people - Sat. 7/14/18, (Pit Beef, Pit Ham, Pit Turkey, Beef BBQ & sides) I was led to believe ALL the left over meat, sides, etc. would be sliced and wrapped and left with me...I specifically asked for the 'ends' of the meat for the dogs...I was assured the leftovers were mine to keep...well that didn't happen...the servers put the leftover meat, ends & all into a bucket and took them...so Monday morning (7/16/18) I called to questions this and was told by Michelle that the only food we keep was what was physically on the buffet...** the meat was sliced to order** the meat actually gets taken back to them because they make their BBQ with it...REALLY??? so that means MY BBQ was made with meat leftover from someone else's party...EWWWWWWW...sounds like a health code violation to me...that meat sat out for 3 hours and they will use it to make BBQ for another party...this also means my meat was paid for my me and now will be sold to some other unsuspecting host...wonder how many times one brisket gets sold...I did call the health department and they DO NOT allow this...so when searching for a caterer DON'T use Beefalo Bob's unless you don't mind using someone else's leftovers...thankfully no one got sick from eating re-used meat...absolutely DISGUSTING!! read more

Written by the husband: After much research, my fiancé (now wife!) and I chose Beefalo Bob for our small wedding reception (45 people). Michelle was our contact there, and she was wonderful to work with. She always kept us informed and up to date with anything and everything we might need to know. The day before the wedding, there was an issue with our chosen beer being out of stock, and she informed us right away, was honest and professional and resolved the situation very much to our satisfaction. Their attention to detail went above and beyond with their willingness to include our own personal recipes for some of our reception food!! Which brings us to the food: I would say "holy cow!" But, we had a pig roast and what a pig it was! My now, wife, and I, have high expectations being in the food industry, and all those expectations were met, if not surpassed. Not only did our recipes taste like our own cooking, but all their food was phenomenal! The pork was raved over!! Their whole staff matched their level of professionalism, yet still how to have a good time. We are so glad we chose Beefalo Bobs!! They surpassed our expectations in every way!! read more

Beefalo Bob's catered our wedding this August for about 150 people. They were an excellent choice from start to finish. The catering staff were great to work with during the quote and planning process. They kept great records, were very professional and detailed in communication, and worked with us to make a menu that fit our budget and reception style. On the day, they arrived on time, provided everything we expected, and the food was delicious. Several people approached us during the wedding to ask for the caterer's name. Thank you for a great meal on our special day! read more

We used Beefalo Bobs for a company picnic in September 2015. I highly, highly, highly recommend them. They were very responsive in the planning, even though we made a number of changes. The staff were very friendly (people commented on it) and very helpful; everything was there and ready on time, despite some glitches we had with the electricity. We had 250 people and plenty of food. The bar staff were great and professional. Beefalo also provided a tent, tables, linens, a dunk tank - made it easier for us not having to go to a bunch of different vendors. We would definitely use them again! read more

We hired Beefalo Bob's for an office picnic (about 100 people). They were great! The staff was extremely helpful from start to finish, all of our guests raved about the food, and it was very affordable for everything we recieved. Will definitely be hiring them for our next event! read more

I used Beefalo Bob's to cater my husband's 30th birthday party and my entire experience was wonderful. Of course, the food was fantastic! The on-site staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and even offered to assist me with set up that was not related to their food preparation. I also rented a tent, tables, chairs, table cloths, and a portable bathroom for the event, all of which arrived on time and were in excellent condition. The office staff were so easy to work with, I literally set up the party in 10 minutes on the phone. I would definitely use Beefalo Bob's again and have recommended their catering services to a few of my friends who are planning their weddings. read more
