Peoria hosts outside, so we plan around patios, pool decks and park ramadas — grills on site, staff in uniform, food off the fire instead of out of a warmer. Wood-Fired BBQ starts at $13.99 per guest, the Steakhouse Experience at $79, quotes back within 4 hours Mon–Fri.

Catering Peoria — Local Notes

What catering in Peoria actually takes.

Poolside and patio entertaining

The most common Peoria booking isn't a ballroom — it's a home with a good backyard. We set the grill line where it won't crowd the pool deck, keep the buffet on the shaded side, and time service so the food hits while people are still outside. It reads as a party someone hosted, not an event someone rented.

Weddings in the north Peoria communities

Vistancia, Trilogy and the Lake Pleasant edge give couples desert views without leaving the Valley. Those venues usually mean building the kitchen from scratch, which is our normal — live-fire grills, hot-holding, plated or family-style service, and full breakdown so the community manager has nothing to complain about the next morning.

Spring training and seasonal hospitality

February through March, Peoria fills with visiting groups, client outings and neighborhood gatherings. Our BBQ menus travel well for those: smoked brisket, tri-tip, pulled pork, sides that hold, plus a live grill station when the host wants a show. We staff continuous service instead of one rigid seating.

"Terry and his crew helped to make our special day magical. We did a food tasting a few weeks prior to the ceremony, and we were instantly sold! The food portions were more than plentiful!! There was enough food left over from the food tasting to share with our friends. On the day of the ceremony, his staff arrived on time, and they were so professional and friendly. The food was amazing, we heard about it from our guests all night long."

"These guys were absolute rock stars at our wedding! We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID-19, and they were so compassionate and easy to work with when making plans to change. The day of, they showed up early, set up, and provided a meal that was better than we could have imagined. The baked potato bar was so impressive! They were such professionals. By the time my husband and I picked our heads up from grace, Terry was sliding our plates in front of us. The pulled chicken was so flavorful and juicy, and the brisket was a crowd favorite!"

"Terry's BBQ is a crowd pleaser and the way to go! All of our wedding guests are still talking about the BBQ from the wedding and how to get it! Not to mention, Terry's provides a great personal presence and energy to events. People said he could have easily been the MC! Terry was so fun and flexible to work with. He truly cares about how to make the guests happy and holds his employees to high standards that he plans ahead to fulfill. We hope to have his bbq every year on our anniversary, it is so dang delicious!"

"We had BBQ Daddy for an 85 person wedding shower that was a nice event. Terry BBQ'd tenderloin, rib eye steaks, and salmon along with 2 cold and 2 hot appys (the bacon wrapped scallops were to die for). It was really a great event. The food was awesome and so was the staff. Terry was SUPER easy to deal with and had great communication throughout."

"Best 50th Birthday Dinner EVER! HUGE shoutout to Chef Terry and his amazing assistant, Leslie! We hired them to cater my 50th birthday, and they literally brought the steakhouse to my backyard. Seriously, he brought his own grill! When Chef Terry says, 'We bring the steakhouse to you,' you better believe him. Every New York Strip, chicken, and salmon was grilled perfectly to temperature. What a FEAST!"

50th Birthday · 1/20/2026

"Terry cooked up a feast for my bachelor party and delivered it right to our backyard of the Airbnb. Food was amazing!!! We got the brisket, the BBQ chicken, mac n cheese, broccoli, and baked beans. The brisket was cooked perfectly and was more fatty pieces (which is great for me cuz that's my preference)."
