Award Winning BBQ catering company with over 10 years of experience! We can cater for any event large or small. From corporate functions, weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and more!! Let us help make your event special.

Our wedding was planned in approximately 10 months and from the moment I sat down with Melissa at Dade City BBQ I knew it was the perfect choice for us. First, she was kind, always answered any and all questions we had, no matter how small they were. We met for a tasting (delish!) and fell in love with her even more. In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests. I would highly recommend this caterer! VERY FAIR prices, large portions and happy guests. I am 100% pleased. Thank you Melissa and your amazing staff!!

Chef David Taylor LLC 

5.0

  • Starts at $510
  • Serves Lakeland, FL

Private chef and culinary consultant for local restaurants. I've been providing on-site gourmet experiences and catering for many occasion in central Florida. ​ I hold a Serv-Safe Certification, Florida DBPR contracted food safety provider and -COI- certificate of insurance for third parties general liability.

We are so blessed to have found Chef David Taylor to create a wonderful menu for our daughter’s wedding. We had had a couple of tastings with event caterers and were so extremely disappointed with the lack of creativity and quality that it made us anxious. Luckily, we found Chef David who advertised being a private Chef vs. a caterer. He taught us the difference and boy was he right! He helped us put together a great menu and during the tasting, we experienced an incredible meal from appetizers to a three course high end meal. We opted for a surf and turf main dish and let me tell you…the steak was most tender and flavorful and scallops tasted out of this world! Not only were the dishes he made extremely delicious, but the presentation quite impressive. Chef David provides his experience, talent, responsiveness, and recommendations to make the vision we have for this special day a reality. We know our guests are going to be impressed by the presentation, quality of the meal, and enjoy the interactions with Chef and his staff. We are so excited about this upcoming wedding! I will update this review after the wedding event early next month!
