Mike’s Branding Iron BBQ

We hired Mike’s Branding Iron to cater our wedding. Now let me start off by saying, I had my doubts. Mike kept on missing our in person meetings… and we live 2 hours away so it wasn’t a convenient thing! But he made it up to us by driving down to us the next time. I waited for a long time for our contract which is simply a piece of paper with the items you chose checked off… There isn’t much past that. And we never had a food tasting. I was relying on blind faith and word of mouth.
BUT Mike came through. I got many many many compliments on our delicious food. Everyone was impressed and they were shocked by the quality of food for it being buffet style. And there was PLENTY of leftovers as he had promised prior. It was enjoyed by everyone. Originally I had stuck with Mike because you can’t beat their price. Our original choices came out to $ 13pp (Chicken & Tri Tip). You can’t find that ANYWHERE. But last minute, with pressure from family, we changed our menu and ended up with Prime Rib and Salmon. Obviously a more expensive choice. It was $ 26pp. But we are happy with our decision! Well worth the money. And Mike definitely helped us impress our guests!

I found Mike through Unilocal when looking for someone to cater my companies lunch celebration. I cannot say enough great things. My first point of contact to get pricing and options was smooth & he got me the info very quickly. He followed up a week prior to the event to confirm the menu & time frame. The day of the event everything was right on schedule & even brought help to set up that I didn’t expect. The food was AMAZING! The roasted red potatoes are the bomb. All the food was great. The guys I was feeding can be pretty big complainers & they loved it as well and only said good things. All around if you want a great caterer that’s serves delectable food & great service choose mikes!

We just had our office picnic catered by Mike’s and they were as good as it gets. They arrived on time & well prepared. The meat was juicy & hot. The chicken, lightly seasoned with herbs. The brisket had a dry rub and was served in tender slices. The salad was very hearty, with baby corn, grape tomatoes, dried cranberries, and garbanzo beans. The potato salad is served hot (so hot I almost burned the inside of my mouth!), with a hint of garlic. The beans had the slightest kick cand were rich, without being over powering.
The cobbler, yum! Peach & berry heaven.

Mike has the best BBQ in the area. Their sides dishes are excellent. They catered for our construction company twice, both times they arrived on time and did a great job setting up. They packed up all the leftovers for us to take home. You will not go wrong by using them. I never give five stars to anyone, but Mike is an exception, his company is very professional and their service are outstanding. We will definitely use them again.

Mikes branding iron bbq is great .The food was amazing .They catered my daughter’s wedding for 200 people did a amazing job. Will use them next time

My husband and I were married earlier this month and hired Mike’s Branding Iron BBQ. We booked our bartender through him as well. That was a big mistake! My guests were asking me where I found my bartender because she looked like a hooker. She showed up in a short mini skirt and a cleavage showing top. She did not look at all professional. On top of that, she did not know what she was doing. he did not know how to tap a keg, my father in law had to do it for her. Many of my guests complained that she was on her phone the whole time and not helping them with their drinks. Some of my guests had to go behind the bar to help. On top of that, she left two hours early. I booked her till 10:00pm. At 8:30pm we were doing the toasts and she was supposed to distribute the champagne and apple cider but she had left. Our best man was running around trying to get my husband and I our special flutes with champagne. His food was great but since mike brought this bartender as a part of his company we were completely disappointed with the both of them.

Mike’s Branding Iron is a catering business. They catered a fundraiser for a local high school. I was so pleased with the experience. The food was amazing! Not only did they deliver a great product, the staff was so friendly and professional. I not only use them again for a fundraiser I would use them for personal events as well. I highly recommend this business!!! I wish more business were as pleasant to work with. :)
