Had the catfish sandwich at a farmers market. It was "melt in your mouth" delicious!

I was in search for a catering service for a loved one's funeral repass/reception and came across Ola Mae's Southern BBQ via Google search. The catering menu items they had to offer was exactly what myself and family was looking for. I sent a request form the day I found them and received an email a few hours later. Not only that I was able to speak with Mr. Reeves on the phone to get my order placed for 80 people attending. I also want to say the funeral was 5 days away. Mr. Reeves and his staff did an amazing job from start to finish. When it was time for the repass his staff made sure everything was taken care of from the real plates, set up of food and beverages, clean up, taking dirty plates, checking in on everyone regarding if we needed assistance with anything AND even brought to go boxes so people can take food home (a huge help for sure!). If you are looking for a southern cuisine catering services I suggest Ola Mae's hands down. The food was amazing and that is including my opinion, the guests' opinions, and my grandmother's true opinion who is originally from the South. Thank you Mr. Reeves and staff for making the day run smoothly and not have to worry about this portion as we were laying our loved one to rest. From my family truly appreciate all of you!

We chose Ola Mae’s Southern Barbecue to cater our wedding a couple weeks ago in August and we would absolutely use them again! The food was amazing! Our guests raved about it for days and still say it was the best pulled pork they’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and flavorful, no dried out food, like a lot of weddings tend to serve. We went with a buffet style for about 130 guests and there was lots of options to please multiple dietary restrictions. We LOVED the salad and potato bar option, our vegetarian friends really appreciated the baked potato bar and said they were a fantastic and unique choice. The only minor things that seemed to be missing was we wished there was some au jus for the prime rib (which was still delicious) and we had been looking forward to his sweet tea, but didn’t seem to get any beverages. I also wish that more had been saved aside for the bride and groom (especially since we were the ones who paid for it). It was nice that we had pre-dished up plates ready for us before the buffet line (which was great), but we weren’t able to get anything additional and we missed out on the appetizers since they started right after the ceremony. We had been looking forward to trying the deep fried catfish but never were able to. Everyone who got to try it, said it was amazing though! Overall, Anthony was very communicative and went above and beyond leading up to the big day. He offered a ton of services, such as dishwear and linens, that made the day stress free and a breeze and everything was beautiful and so delicious! Absolutely helped to make our big day memorable. My only complaints Is that we wished we had packed up left overs (if there even was any left) because we were craving his food later in the night and all the next day. We also wish he had a regular restaurant for us to frequent, because we crave his food still! It would be amazing if he had a “pop up” kitchen with pre-order services for us to pick up, I would absolutely sign up for a newsletter/email list and really hope that he offers pick-up options leading into the holidays! Overall, I would absolutely recommend Ola Mae’s Southern Barbecue, and I will absolutely use them again for any future catering needs!

I contacted Ola Mae’s just two weeks before my wedding asking for a catering quote for 100 people. Anthony was quick to respond and gave multiple options to fit our budget, he also gave regular updates along the way even with the 4th of July Holiday. Day-of everything went smoothly, his team delivered the food hot and ready to us at a park in Seattle. The portions were bigger than expected and it was all delicious (BBQ chicken, pulled pork and fettuccine Alfredo). Thank you to Anthony and his team for making our big day a success!

My fiancé and I, both come from South Carolina, envisioned a Southern-themed wedding and faced considerable difficulty in finding a caterer who could deliver authentic down-home barbecue. After months of searching and taste-testing various options, we stumbled upon Ola Mae's Southern BBQ based on a recommendation. Initially skeptical, we attended a tasting at Ola Mae's, and it exceeded our expectations. The flavors resonated with authentic Southern charm, prompting us to promptly book them for our wedding. On the big day, the service was exceptional, and the food lived up to the high standard set during the tasting. Even months later, we continue to receive compliments on the delicious food. la Mae's not only wowed us with their authentic flavors but also impressed with reasonable pricing and excellent communication. They generously included extra services like plates and napkins without additional charges, setting them apart in terms of value. We're still receiving compliments on their exceptional service and delicious food. We can't help but wish that Ola Mae's had a restaurant, as we would undoubtedly be regulars.
