Planning an Event? Let’s Talk Catering!
Great BBQ makes great gatherings, and we’re here to bring the flavor to your next event! Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, family reunion, or just a good ol’ backyard party, CR Midnight Smoker BBQ has you covered. Our meats are slow-smoked to perfection, standing strong on their own without needing to hide behind sauce. That said, we know a good sauce can take things up a notch, so we bring the best! From the tangy kick of Twang (Carolina-style vinegar) to the bold richness of Harmony (Kansas City-style) and the unique heat of Blues on Fire (serrano peppers and blueberry magic), we've got the perfect pairing for every bite.
Let’s make your event unforgettable! Call us at 319-573-3190 or fill out our catering request form to get started!
Try All of Our Signature Sauces
While we take pride in our signature sauces like Twang (a Carolina-style vinegar sauce), Harmony (our Kansas City-style sauce), and Blues on Fire (a new creation with a medium-heat kick from serrano peppers and a tart treble from blueberries), it's our meat that truly shines. Unlike some barbecue places where the sauce makes the meat, our meats stand on their own, thanks to our meticulous smoking process.
BBQ Catering That Brings the Flavor to Your Event
Whether you're feeding a crowd at a wedding, corporate event, or backyard bash, we bring the bold flavors and smoky goodness that make any gathering unforgettable. Our meats are slow-smoked to perfection, our sides are made with love, and our signature sauces add just the right finishing touch. Let us handle the cooking so you can focus on enjoying the moment.
