The BBQ Pulled Pork was delicious and one of the highlights of the block party. All of our fans enjoyed it.

Best Pulled Pork I’ve ever had! And the customer service was world class! I’ll be using Southern Smoked BBQ again and again! Cheers!

I cater in for my kids birthdays every year since their birthdays are within a couple of days of each other. This year I wanted to try something different and hired Southern Smoked BBQ. I never had better reviews from the food that was served as I did with Southern Smoked BBQ. They came in and set everything up and made it so easy to feed my guests. And the food was absolutely delicious! They had kid-friendly options as well so both kids and adults were extremely happy. Then when the party was over, they cleaned everything up. This was the easiest, least stress party I’ve ever had. I’m looking forward to having them cater for me in the near future.

Eddie’s Southern BBQ was beyond expectations. Not only was the meat moist and delicious, Eddie and his team went out of there way to make our experience both fun and entertaining. With a realistic approach to both food production and customer service, not only was I impressed, but almost every guest at our block party commented on how wonderful they were. I 100% recommend using them, and I plan on using them in the future!

Absolutely the best BBQ I’ve ever ate. Been to many places over the years but Southern Smoked is hands down the best. Charred perfectly. Definitely, recommend to anyone who wants great smoked BBQ.

I’ve had the pleasure of eating Eddie’s signature southern brisket as well as his BBQ Pulled pork. All I can say is… his beef brisket is the bomb! His smoking technique is spot on and delivers the perfect flavor, not too much, not too little, just right. Many times smoked meat can become dry. Not the case here, their smoked meats are so moist and full of flavor. Can’t wait to hire him for next catering event!

“I have ate many different kinds of smoked meat, but hands down this is the BEST, most delicious, tender, melt in your mouth BBQ, that I have ever had! Truly one of a kind, with a distinct flavor,  that will easily leave you wanting more. You will not be disappointed”.
