Catering FAQs

All orders are placed through Bad Brads BBQ Catering Headquarters. Then we will figure out which location is the nearest and most convenient for you.
We do, please contact our catering manager for more information.
Yes, we can deliver your catering order. Delivery fees are based on the distance traveled from the closest Bad Brads location nearest to you.
We have a limited amount of staff to deliver/setup and maintain the food portion of your event (we do recommend you book early to reserve). Once setup our team will keep an eye on the buffet line during our time at your event and will clean up and breakdown our portion. Our staff will be there roughly 2-3 hours. If more time or additional services are needed the catering manager may be able to accommodate so please inquire.
YES! Bad Brads catering is prepared with the same recipes and care as you come to expect from all our locations.
We can handle last minute orders without a problem but we recommend as much notice as possible.
Yes, we can provide some of the items that you’ve come to love from the restaurant menu. Keep in mind, with time and travel quality tends to suffer on some of our more popular items. The catering manager can explain more.
As mentioned above time and distance is the enemy of food quality, we recommended an hour to an hour and a half maximum travel time to ensure the quality of food that you’ve come to expect from Bad Brads BBQ.
We can set you up with quality cold food, we also have simple reheating instructional videos that you can watch right from your phone/tablet/computer.
Since everything is made from scratch at Bad Brads (YES I mean everything!) we have total control of our food and know exactly what goes into everyone of our items. The catering menu lists items that have or come in contact with gluten. The catering manager is trained on this topic and will be happy to answer any additional allergy questions you may have.
We always recommend that you get the food to your event as late as you possibly can. Remember that time is the enemy when it comes to food quality, so if it’s a pickup or delivery try and get it there so when the food shows up people are ready to eat. This also eliminates you having to worry about how to keep the food hot for extended periods of time.
The simplest answer is the build your own BBQ menu. You tell us how many people you have and we figure out how much food you will need! Otherwise, we have some general guidelines on the catering menu. Our catering manager will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have so please feel free to call.
All catering items from Bad Brads BBQ are served in 1⁄2 catering pans, two 1⁄2 catering pans will fit in a traditional chafer setup.
