The catering package from Lil' Smokey's made our company retreat unforgettable! The White Cadillac package fed our entire team of 60 people with plenty to spare. The brisket was perfectly smoked, and the pork belly bites were the surprise hit of the event. Jeff and his team handled everything professionally from setup to cleanup. Worth every penny!

Our neighborhood block party was a huge success thanks to Lil' Smokey's catering. We went with the Double Trouble package for 30 people, and it was the perfect amount. The pulled pork and brisket were incredibly tender, and the sides were fantastic - especially the creamy corn elote. Delivery was on time, and everything was still hot when served. Will definitely use them again next year!

When planning our family reunion, we wanted something special but hassle-free. Lil' Smokey's catering exceeded our expectations! The Lean Mean package fed our group of 45 perfectly, and having the food delivered meant we could focus on family time instead of cooking. Several relatives took their business cards for future events. Outstanding service and incredible food!
