BBQ Party Catering That Brings People Together
Great BBQ has a way of getting people in the mood to relax, laugh, and dig in. At Famous Dave's Detroit, our catering is built for the moments that matter — birthdays, anniversaries, neighborhood parties, family reunions, team dinners, graduation celebrations, retirement parties, holiday events, and full service events across Metro Detroit.
Our BBQ catering menu gives you plenty of ways to serve a hungry crowd. Choose from slow-smoked meats, bbq ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork, rib tips, fresh sides, desserts, drinks, and sauces that let every guest build the kind of plate they love.
Whether you need food dropped off hot and ready, a catering order packed for pickup, or service catering with our team setting up and serving guests, Famous Dave's helps make your party feel easy from start to finish.
Famous BBQ Ribs for Parties, Big and Small
If there's one thing that makes a Famous Dave's party feel like a real BBQ party, it's the ribs.
Our pitmasters know ribs. We start with quality meat, hand-rub it with spice rub and dry rub, then use slow cooking and live-wood smoke to build that deep BBQ flavor. Our ribs are finished on the grill so the sauce caramelizes over the meat and locks in that sweet, smoky bite.
Choose from crowd-pleasing favorites like St. Louis-style spare ribs, baby back ribs, back ribs, and rib tips. Whether your guests love their ribs naked, brushed with barbecue sauce, or covered in bbq sauce, we serve the kind of tender ribs that make people ask, "Who catered this?"
Our ribs have the flavor folks try to copy at home. Home cooks may search for the best recipe, a great recipe, or an excellent recipe for ribs overnight in the oven, wondering about cook time, medium heat, brown sugar, garlic, salt, sauce, bake time, grill marks, and how to make two racks come out tender. But when you want party food done right without spending a few hours over the oven or grill, Famous Dave's catering brings the real thing straight to your event.
