They catered a car show where I work and the food was perfectly cooked (wish they had relish though but won’t take off stars for that since it has nothing to do with the quality of their food) best tomatoes I have had from a catered bbq

Flying Barracuda goes the extra mile. Big Mike catered our daughters wedding this past Friday. The food from begging to end was outstanding. He schedules the meal based on the ceremony. The food was amazing. The shrimp in Big Mikes own delicious barbecue sauce was so good. I cannot tell you how often they had to refill the platter. The steak and chicken were perfect. But, as mother of the bride, my husband and I took leftovers and found ourselves eating the cold red potatoes dish at 1:00 am in our hotel room. The best catered food you can find. I strongly suggest you give this amazing catered business a try. You will not be disappointed.
But! Big Mike has an eye for perfection and watches and makes everyone meal a perfect one. Our daughter’s wedding was a perfect success and we will definitely use Flying Barracuda again.

We first learned about the Flying Barracuda at the «Taste of Portland» event. After we tasted the samples they were promoting we decided to bid on their auction donation of Hors-​odourves for 10 people at our house and ended up winning it. Keep in mind that they are not a restaurant but a catering company specializing in Bar-​B-​Que dishes. To make a long story short instead of samplers they presented us with a full meal that was out of this world.
It started with Hors-​odourves followed up with a salad, main dish and then desert. The Hors-​odourves consisted of langostino/​shrimp cocktail with caprese skewers. the salad was fresh bib lettuce with dressing. The main course was 2″ thick pork chops with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Followed with a desert of fresh brownies with strawberries. All of these plates were delicious.
This was all prepared at out house and served to us at our table. Other than us supplying the beverages and the oven for them to wam-​up some dishes they took care of everything. Mike (the Owner) and his crew were absolutely fantastic to work with and were very professional in all ways.
Even though this was a small gig for them they treated us as if was their most important event of the year. We would not even hesitate to use them again in the future for an event.
Thank You Mike and the best of luck in the future.

HOLY COW! If you like meat, you have got to try Big Mike’s meat! This is the best caterer in Oregon (maybe even the West side of the Mississippi). Big Mike’s pulled pork sandwiches are to die for. I have been to a few of Mike’s catered events and when he shows up with the BIG smoker behind his truck my mouth starts watering. The service is excellent and always friendly. I have never left an event of his and felt hungry. Very satisfying. Give him a call and you wont be disappointed.

Flying Barracuda does it all… and does it better than the rest! Big Mike makes every occasion a flavorful one. We have had Mike & his crew cater our office party, birthdays, and even a baby shower. Flying Barracuda catered our company Christmas party a few years back and he prepared a wonderful steak & scallop menu that everyone agreed was the most amazing surf & turf they had ever had. Mike has also provided us with trays of his famous pulled pork and ribs for parties (birthday & Super Bowl). We have even driven out of our way to attend Southridge High School Football games when we heard that Flying Barracuda was going to be cooking up BBQ brisket & sausages. Above all else, Big Mike makes the BEST BBQ SAUCE you will ever taste in your life. Hands down!
I could not recommend a catering company any higher than Flying Barracuda. Big Mike is a fantastic chef, and he always delivers an exceptional experience because he cares about getting it done right every time.

Thanks to Flying Barracuda, our event was more than a success. The food was great, from the grilled meat to the amazing potato salad. More than the food, however, we appreciated their great attitude, attention to detail when setting up, the overall presentation, and spotless clean up. Highly recommended in every way.

What is there to say about a guy named Big Mike and the saying «Nothing left but the bone!»? Plenty… As good as his made from scratch, secret bbq sauce is — Big Mike is even better. If it is possible to make food taste better by «cookin’ with love» then Big Mike does that.
Joy, Passion, Zestfulness, Larger than life: these words describe the master entertainer that just happens to make great BBQ.
If you’re having a wedding, office party, birthday celebration or just want some damn fine food — give Big Mike at Flying Barracuda a call.
