About The Smoke Shop Bbq

The Smoke Shop BBQ

Catering and Events

The Smoke Shop BBQ is Andy Husbands’ tribute to the time-honored tradition of one of America’s oldest cuisines. Our barbecue is the result of Andy’s 20+ years on the competitive BBQ circuit combined with his nearly 30 years as one of Boston’s beloved chefs. Come see how we are changing the way people think about barbecue in the Northeast.

BBQ is the cuisine of celebration. The Smoke Shop has you covered for gatherings of all sizes, corporate lunches, virtual events, individually-packaged meals, weddings, and much more. Our team will work with you to help you build the perfect menu for your event. In addition to our on-site events, we offer pickup, delivery, smoker rental, and off-site event staffing and will provide you with everything you need to make your event a success.

Sample catered weddings

We took their sprawling backyard to and summer vibes to create a bright oasis - golds, purples, and yellows paired with the best BBQ. Jack and Meg had multiple passed appetizers, an oversized BBQ buffet with 4 meats and 5 sides, and a variety of dessert stations. We handled all rentals, design work and tablescapes, non alcoholic beverages, set up and break down. It was a GREAT party.

    We had a fantastic experience hosting our wedding (yes--even the ceremony!) at Smoke Shop's Assembly location. CJ helped us manage everything from planning a menu to figuring out how to arrange the private dining room and setting up decorations, and truly went above and beyond what we expected when we decided to look for a restaurant that would be willing to host a small, casual wedding. The food, of course, is the main attraction and doesn't disappoint! We were able to come up with a menu that satisfied our foodie-friends, picky family members, and even a couple of vegetarian guests, which was super important to us. (CJ gently stopped us from ordering 3x what we needed just because everything sounded delicious...) My mom is still raving about the food whenever the topic comes up! They even met some of our more unusual requests, like setting up two giant carafes of sweet tea and virgin mojitos since we don't drink (though our guests told us the cocktails were great, too). I'd highly recommend the Smoke Shop if you're looking for a private dining space with great food for a rehearsal dinner or casual event, and while I haven't personally used their offsite catering, I would 100% trust CJ and her team to knock that out of the park, too.

    As a venue event manager, working with the caterer has to be seamless to help ensure that the event goes off without a hitch. CJ and her team at Smoke Shop cover every basis and are always some of our favorite people to work with. Not to mention the BBQ is the best in town!

    Working with CJ and her team is an experience no one else can provide. CJ has an incredible talent in making you feel like you've been friends forever, and she truly loves her job, her team, and her clients. As a planner, I am always looking for vendors to recommend to my couples that I know will not only deliver, but will impress my couples and literally every time I recommend CJ and her team, my couples come back to me and thank me for helping them find them. As great as CJ is, NOTHING can compare to the amazing food! Some people are hesitant about barbecue at a wedding, but in my experience, the guests LOVE it and with Smoke Shop, we always see guests coming back for more. Truly, the best of the best.

    As a wedding planner and coordinator, I have had the pleasure of working with The Smoke Shop BBQ team, led by CJ, on multiple occasions. From the initial planning stages to the day-of event, they have consistently demonstrated an organized, detailed, and quick communication style. Their team is hardworking, fun, and true experts in their craft. They have been thoughtful in accommodating allergies and quick-thinking when addressing any timeline delays or changes. I am a frequent customer at their Boston restaurants and always recommend them for any event, as their experience and care for the food and service they provide are truly showcased. CJ and her team are the best to work with, and I know I can count on them to make any special day a success.
