i was at an event last week, where Carson City BBQ was catering all 3 days. Ribs, Tri-Tip, chicken, mac and cheese, beans, ect and it was smoked all onsite, and it was fabulous! on day 3, I asked about the rub because it was amazing and a gentleman went to his truck and gave me a bottle. Looking forward to my next smoked bbq! Thanks Carson City BBQ for top notch food and excellent customer service. read more

Amazing flavor and perfect balance of smoke! Can't wait for the Rib cookout 2026! The beef ribs are my favorite. I call it the Flintstone rib! read more

I know if you do not get to go to an event that's being catered by them, you'll never get to try them.. We were invited to a local furniture store being catered by CC BBQ. Let me start by saying that it was some of the best I've had in a long long time. It was set up outside under a large canopy tent. Beautiful weather that day. You trade your ticket for a plate. Started with a roll and butter, coleslaw, potato salad out of this world, baked beans yummm, smoked thighs and legs and turkey breast. 2 kinds of sauces, regular and hot. I did overload my plate a bit, but it all looked so so delicious. 1st the sides were spot on. All of them. 2nd the meat was smoked too perfection. I smoke allot so I'm partial to a certain type and this was it. The chicken was so tender that it just fell off the bone with a great smoke flavor. Also had tubs and ice chests full of water bottles!! I ate everything on my plate. It was that good. Really hoping they do this again next year as we enjoyed the invite and made a new purchase too. Win win Not to mention we met several new people there as well. read more

Carson City BBQ at the Fandango rib cookoff today is the last day. Make sure you get their Ribs to the best they have all kind of options and don't forget to pick up their sauce. See you there. Ray lava read more

I tried them out at the Rockin Rib Fest so this review might be a bit slanted as it was an extremely fun atmosphere, great drinks, music, and vendors. The food was good. The ribs were tougher than I like but had a good flavor. The pulled had a lot of meat and tasted good. The pineapple coleslaw was a waste of money as it was very bland and I do not think there was any pineapple in it. I might give the restaurant a try but I will hit up one of the other places when I go back to the rib fest. read more

Had their BBQ are a memorial service at our church! Wow!!!!! Great flavor, the ribs were amazing! Loved the tri-tip and beans, but those ribs! A wonderful smoked flavor and very tender. The meat fell off the bones and was absolutely delicious. So glad they drove all the way to CA, sorry it took a memorial service to enjoy their food. I only regret was that I didn't eat more. I would highly recommend them and their product. read more

Carson Valley BBQ catered last night's volunteer appreciation holiday dinner at the Genoa Fire Department (Station 3). A good time was had by all! Our menu included delicious chicken, salmon, prime rib, plus the associated Caesar Salad, potato salad, beans, and bread. There was plenty of tasty food to go around, even as many heaping plates were observed. Line service by Carson City BBQ staff was efficient and fun. Complimenting the evening was an open bar, music, festive decorations and lots of community friends. All that tasty BBQ certainly added to all this Christmas spirit! read more

Carson City BBQ catered a funeral I attended today, and I couldn't have been more impressed with their entire operation. I have a gluten allergy, so I always bring protein bars in my purse to events in case there's nothing I can eat. No need for that protein bar this time around -- Carson City BBQ's meats were a real treat for me! They were tender, juicy and super tasty. I also loved their baked beans - a delicious bean variety with generous chunks of pork in it. And even though the turnout was larger than anticipated, there was more than enough food to go around, including seconds for all who wanted more (even thirds for some -- guilty as charged!), and enough left over for a few nights of meals packed up for the widow and family to take home with them, which I'm sure they appreciated during this difficult time. I was also impressed with the catering crew (including the owner!) who stopped by tables to take away empty plates for the guests - and *always* asking before assuming you were through. I'm sure the family was very grateful not to have to manage food and clean-up. All in all, a very professional operation with great food - I highly recommend them! read more

Consistently the Best BBQ! The best choice for catering your event!

They catered my 80th birthday party. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Their prices reasonable. They provided, bbq chicken, tri-tip, potato salad, Cole slaw, baked beans, rolls, butter, plates, napkins and plastic silverware. The food was delicious. We picked it up. They even warmed up our cooler with hot water to transport the tri-tip and BBQ chicken. We heartily recommend this company. You can try them at BBQ events like the Rib Cook-off in Sparks every year. read more

WOW! Over the years we have had several caterers. Without hesitation I can rate Carson City BBQ THE number one! Everything is freshly prepared and BBQed the day of the event. That's great but the BBQ was THE GREATEST! My husband likes chicken okay, but THEIR chicken was unbelievable! He couldn't get enough! Their award-winning ribs are rated number one for a reason. WOW, what a taste! To top it off, Michele and Phil were not only super friendly and professional but also went above and beyond to be attentive to our guests. I'm not a big review writer but I wanted everyone to know what an AWESOME outfit this is! read more

Phil and Michele are absolutely awesome. They catered our wedding in Bridgeport and I heard nothing but complements from our wedding guests. The tri tip was perfect, the chicken was fantastic, and I really liked the baked beans as well. There was plenty of food for everyone, even after many got seconds. They even left us with a large amount of leftover meat to take with us, after we told them we were going camping for a few days after the wedding. Super nice people, great service, and I'll definitely be ordering some of the Hot and Spicy BBQ sauce to use at home. Best BBQ sauce I think I've ever had. Thanks again for making the trek down to Bridgeport to help us make our day special! read more

What an incredible genuine gift, the owner of Carson City BBQ gifted me a free bottle of Original Carson City BBQ sauce and O goodness I was NOT expecting it to be this damn GOOD. I drank some straight from the bottle I couldn't wait to cook with it!!!! read more

As other reviews state, Carson City BBQ is a caterer only, they do not have a retail outlet or restaurant. So, the only way you can sample their food is if you want an event catered or you attend one of the Rib Cookoffs they participate in. The next one will be the Rib Cookoff in Sparks, sponsored by the Sparks Nugget Casino. I just attended the Rockin' Rib Cookoff in Carson City at the Casino Fandango and sampled their beef ribs for the first time. What really got me interested was that these beef ribs are the real big Texas style beef ribs (beef plate or short ribs), not the more common beef back ribs, you know like the beef bones carved off a prime rib roast. Not much meat on those, but these Texas style ribs ... WHOA ... there's a ton of meat! These are really expensive to make as each rib weighs over a pound each and with beef prices these day ..... well, let's just say beef is way more expensive than pork. Plus, these ribs take 12 hrs to smoke and someone's gotta watch the fire and make sure it's a good cook. These big giant beef ribs are only available at the rib Festivals, normally. It's a bit of a sticker shock on the pricing, but the taste ... OMG! Sooo tender and succulent and a nice fatty content due to the high quality meat used with great marbling. Also, there are no other BBQ outfits in N. Nevada offering these big beef ribs. I didn't even find any offered in N. Cal. You gotta try these ribs! If you call them, they may have some leftover from the rib fest frozen. They reheat just fine ... all those famous BBQ places in TX sell mail order frozen and have heating instructions. If you look at those TX prices shipped to you ... Well, Carson City BBQ is a bargain! read more

I had the pleasure of using Carson City BBQ for my rehearsal dinner catering and they were fantastic! Placing an order was easy and everyone I spoke to was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and we are still getting compliments on it a month later. We had more than enough to feed everyone and everyone left full and happy. I highly recommend them anytime you are able to find them at a festival or even hire them for your party! read more

Our daughter gave us a 50th wedding anniversary party and Carson City BBQ catered the event. The ribs and chicken were amazing and all the sides were yummy. Our servers (who do a lot more than serving) were Twila and Brenda and they were so friendly and nice. Many of our guests commented on how good the food was and how pleasant Twila and Brenda were. I highly recommend Carson City BBQ. read more

Great service and good food .Place is a bit funky. Staff are very professional and priced are ok

At our family reunion in Lake Tahoe last month, we had folks from all across the US including Texas! I came from the PNW and out of the blue found Carson City BBQ. They are the nicest people!! We ordered enough for 35 folks. First off, The Texans thought it was the best they ever had! EVERYBODY was just overwhelmed by the tenderness and flavor. Vegans were quite amazed. There's an INCREDIBLE smoked mushroom option. Salads were tasty. Loved the pineapple slaw. You guys are special! Thanks for making this night unforgettable. We ended up with only 29 folks but it was amazing the dent they made. Still plenty for our closing night with 15 folks. Thank you SO MUCH for the extra perks and care. You guys are the best! read more

So yummy! And the BEST beans EVER! The meat flavors are always consistent. And they also have the best BBQ sauce I have ever had!

Food was expertly prepared and plentiful. Service was great. Will definitely refer business.

First of all, Phil and Michele are awesome. Their service is just excellent. I was actually out of the country while trying to finish planning for my party. I was worried that I won't be able to pay for the remaining balance as I was on a cruise ship and I didn't have a way to give them my info, and wasn't scheduled to get back until a week before the party. Michele was very flexible, and agreed to take my payment info 4+ weeks before the party. The day of the party came, and their team came on time....and served on time. The food was amazing. All of my guests loved it, and as a bonus, they left me with 2 extra bottles of their sauces. I can't wait to see them at the rib cookoff in a month! I recommend Carson City BBQ for any bbq needs at your party. read more

Had them at Carson City Ribfest Memorial Day weekend. Good food just wish they had a restaurant.

Unbelievable. Catering only but some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. The food alone is an experience. Everything is seasoned to perfection and tender. Their sauces are to DIE for. I loved the spicy BBQ sauce. But in addition to all that, their service is impeccable. They're sincere, kind, and on top of everything. I loved them. read more
