The Smoking Pot Nailed It! Our family of 13 spent a week in IOP and one of the absolute highlights of the trip--a professional shrimp boil at our rental that completely exceeded every expectation! Our adult sons--who are serious foodies--were eager to try an authentic, professionally prepared shrimp boil, and we found The Smoking Pot. What an incredible experience it turned out to be! The Andrews are absolutely fantastic--so knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They definitely know their blue crabs! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing, the experience was so much fun, and they made it truly memorable for our entire family. We can't recommend The Smoking Pot enough! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book them--you won't be disappointed! read more

One of the best decisions we made during our trip to Folly Beach was hiring The Smoking Pot to cook for our bachelor party. After spending the day on the golf course, coming back to an incredible meal prepared right at our beach house was exactly what we needed. Everything was exceptional. The ingredients were fresh, the food was packed with flavor, and every detail was handled seamlessly. But what really stood out was the team behind it. They were warm, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure our group had an unforgettable evening. Their hospitality made the experience feel personal, not just catered. In a weekend filled with great memories, this dinner was one of the moments everyone kept talking about. If you're visiting Folly Beach or the Charleston area with family or friends, do yourself a favor and book The Smoking Pot. It's more than a meal, it's an experience that brings people together, and one we'll be talking about for years to come. read more

We had them cater our rehearsal dinner at an AirBNB in Folly Beach. They were professional, friendly, and the food was great. Driving down from Ohio we would have had to rent tables, chairs, and setup. They made the whole process seamless and we can't recommend them enough! read more

The Smoking Pot - This is their set-up! Complete with crackers, cocktail sauce and hot sauce! - Caterers Near Me

Amazing experience! It could not have gone better. Chase came and cooked, set up beautifully, and cleaned up. The food was spectacular and I felt such an ease with celebrating my husband's 50th birthday with The Smoking Pot. I would 100% recommend this company for any event. We had the shrimp boil and would love to try the crabs or oysters for another event. read more

Andrew was amazing! Came out to the house and brought all the fixings! He had a table designed just for cracking crab and kept it all so clean and easy. He explained the blue crab and how to crack them. Then served up the shrimp boil and it was perfect. Coleslaw was so good, shrimp and sausage was delicious and the best surprise was the key lime pie that he makes himself. It was insanely good. To wrap it all up he cleaned it all up and left us only some leftovers to enjoy. No mess! Can't recommend enough. read more

Best decision I made during our stay. Andrew P. and Andrew K. were AWESOME to work with and showed good ole southern hospitality! The food was delicious. I highly recommend the Smoking Pot. You won't regret it. read more

ANDREW AND THE SMOKING POT ARE AWESOME! i hosted a lowcountry boil/crab boil dinner party for about 26 people over july 4th. Andrew was punctual, incredibly helpful, and a pleasure to work with. the value was great considering how flawless the service was. he set up while we had cocktails and before you knew it we were eating fresh (really delicious) crabs. while we did that, he set up the boil with real plates and silverware, tables, etc; we didn't even notice and we just moved on to the next part of the meal. as we finished desert, we looked up and everything was clean and put back in its place. it was a great experience and the food was fresh, local, and high quality. as a charleston native, it was great to come back and remember how much i missed the food. i highly recommend the smoking pot! read more

Happened to come across The Smoking Pot while researching food delivery on Kiawah Island. Andrew was very friendly and we couldn't have planned a better meal for our friends' post-wedding celebration! He brought all food and necessary equipment, cooked a huge meal while my friends and I hung out at the beach, and even set up a large communal table with chairs for us to eat. He even brought REAL dinner/silverware which was a nice suprise. The shrimp boil thing is such a great idea, but even better when someone else is doing all the hard work for you! Thanks again Andrew for such a great experience on Kiawah Island!!! read more

The Smoking Pot - The kids watching the boil. - Caterers Near Me

These guys are absolutely amazing. They made our vacation. Set up tables on the beach and cooked an incredible low country boiled meal right there. Friendly folks for sure. Set us up with fresh shrimp, sausage, corn, slaw and potatoes. Topped it off with a homemade key lime pie. We were in heaven. If you come to Folly Beach, you have to give these guys a call. You won't regret it. Just finished our 2018 Smoking Pot meal. Nothing has changed. Top notch and a couple friendly Andrews. If you're coming to the area, book 'em. Awesome. Again read more

The guys arrived on time, they did the entire set up, cooked the oysters to perfection (cooked oysters until our hearts were content), and cleaned up the entire mess!!! Great time! read more

Had them cater for 12 guys. They charged us 600 dollars and the food was lacking. Absolutely no spice (which we specifically asked for) and we each got 5 shrimp. They said it was five pounds there was absolutely no way the tiny box they brought was 5 lbs. you should get one pound per person and shrimp is about 10 bucks per pound so I don't know what world the whole boil, shrimp corn potatoes and sausage two key lime pies and a small bowl of coke slaw cost 600. Even with the pay for an hour and a half of work there's no way it was worth it. Would never use these scammers again. Pitiful. read more

We paid $600 for 5 lbs of shrimp... got about 5 shrimp per person. Not worth it. Can do better at a grocery story or local market.

This was one of the easiest events I have ever planned! Andrew was organized, cordial, and fun to talk to. We had a low country boil for my son's graduation party and it was perfect. We needed to make a small adjustment to the time the day of the event and they were very flexible. The meal was delicious, everything was cooked to perfection and our guest thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There was plenty of food for everyone and the key lime pie was wonderful to finish the meal with. I would highly recommend The Smoking Pot. It would be great if they would franchise to Michigan :) read more

These guys are AWESOME! Perfect idea for a large party. It's unique and I guarantee your group will love it. Had a bachelor party with 10-12 guys. We stayed at one of those big houses right on the beach, so there was lots of room in the yard. These guys showed up and took care of everything. Super laid back, nice guys. They set up the tables and piled on 2 bushels of amazing steamed oysters for the appetizer (blue crab is also an option). They were so fresh and delicious! Then they threw down the low country boil, slaw and mouth-watering key lime pie (I don't even really like key lime pie, but this was great). It was hassle free and just $40 per guy ($12 for appetizers, $28 for main/sides/desert). Definitely better than doing it yourself. read more

What a great concept!! Smoking Pot did a fabulous job catering to 15 of us in downtown Charleston with their low country boil. Shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and a great coleslaw. Not to mention key lime pie! Very friendly, explained to the girls a little bit about the cooking process if they were hanging out outside and interested but stayed out of the way and set everything up to a T. Perfect for a big group wanting a great casual meal! Would highly recommend! read more

Very fun and interactive eating experience. DELICIOUS FOOD! They did everything for us besides shuck cooked oysters... they did teach us though! Set up, cooking, clean up, etc... all done for us. Great experience overall! read more

Andrew and Andrew are great! They are so easy to work with and helped me to host a great evening on the beach. They did a fabulous job with setting up (well before my guests arrived), cooking and serving the food and cleaning up. They were at the event and handled what needed to be done, but were not "in the way". The food was delicious and the experience of shucking our own oysters was fantastic! I would recommend using The Smoking Pot, for sure! read more

Awesome! We were visiting Folly Beach for a bachelorette from out of town. Andrew came to our beach house and prepared a low country boil for 8 of us! It tasted delicious and was such a fun, local experience! Highly recommend!! read more

These guys are great! Perfect for a crowd; we enjoyed our Folly Beach rental and didn't have to lift a finger. Except of course to shuck some oysters and crack into freshly caught blue crabs. The low country boil was delicious - the whole meal was one of several high points from our SC vacation. We can't wait to go back! read more

Used The Smoking Pot while on a family vacation in Folly Beach over Thanksgiving 2012. I would highly recommend them. We had a party of 10 and did the oysters and the Low Country Boil. It was delicious!!! It was great being able to enjoy the food and company without having to deal with prep, dishes, etc. We loved Andrew and appreciated his patience with all our questions. We loved our trip and will look them up again on the next visit. read more

We had the pleasure of having Andrew & Andrew come cook us a delicious low country boil. We had four generations and every single person enjoyed the catered meal. It was a great value for an exceptional experience. Would highly recommend! read more
