FAQ
Before you book
How much meat do I need per person?+
Plan on 8–12 oz of cooked meat per adult for a multi-meat buffet. Our packages bake that in — intimate events get more, large groups a bit less with more sides.
Drop-off or full-service?+
Drop-off is trays ready to serve. Full-service adds setup and an on-site service team (from $450 for up to 50 guests, 3 hours). Weddings include servers and a carver. Boardroom Smoke includes delivery within 10 miles.
When is the final guest count due?+
Lock your count 7 days before the event. We bill the greater of your guarantee or actual headcount. See Terms for the full policy. Full terms
Do you take leftover meat back?+
No — for food safety, leftovers stay with you. Full-service events can be packed to-go when requested.
What’s the deposit?+
No deposit is required to get a quote. 50% to book. Balance is due 7 days before the event. Cards and ACH accepted.
What sides and desserts do you offer?+
House sides: potato salad, coleslaw, cowboy pinto beans (contains pork), mac & cheese, elote, and green beans. Packages include 2–4 sides. House desserts are banana pudding or cookies; premium options (pecan bars, brownie bites, tres leches) are +$5/person. Extra sides +$4/person.
Allergies or vegetarian guests?+
We cook in a kitchen that handles wheat, dairy, egg, soy, and pork. Vegetarian guests can eat sides (ask us to keep plates separate in Notes). We don’t offer a priced vegetarian plate.
What are the booking terms?+
Prices plus applicable sales tax. Drop-off within 10 miles included. 50% deposit confirms the date. Read the full Terms on this page. Full terms
