My work has rotating carts that come every Wednesday during our lunch breaks. Today was the 1st time they have came. I am glad they did, they definitely gained some new fans. Many employees in the cafeteria raved about the size and quality of the sandwiches. I opted for my favorite bbq meat....brisket. The meat was tender and the flavor of the sauce they put on the sandwhich was rich and savory. I ordered the beans for a few dollars extra, they were the right balance of sweet and savory. I love onions and there was alot in the beans. The coleslaw tastes fresh and crunch and hell complete the meal. I hope they come back to our work again. read more

There will never be words that can articulate the love and gratitude we have for Mike and the guys at Flying Barracuda. The love and care that they brought to our Wedding day this summer was something we, and our guests, will never forget. The food was beautiful and delicious, and more than that, the FB BBQ team became a part of our family as we laughed, danced, and ate together. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts- everyone is still talking about you all T+J read more

Flying Barracuda - Big Mike celebrating the happy couple! - Caterers Near Me

They stopped by local employer for a scheduled rotating food truck lunch. Super quick service. Great food. I got the Brisket sandwich. Lots of Smokey meat with BBQ sauce and side of coleslaw. At first I was worried the large sliced meat would well you take a bite and the whole slice would come with. But this was super tender easy to eat and the smokiness came through even with the BBQ sauce. Just a great sandwich. Price was $13 w/coleslaw but Mac salad or BBQ beans available for another $3 which I felt was a bit too much to go for. read more

Worst ribs I've ever had. Cooked too quick and too hot. They were overdone, dry and rubbery. Sauce was good, people were friendly. Had them at a lacrosse tournament, and their smoker polluted the field. Business is business, but kids shouldn't be warming up for athletics in a cloud of smoke. The kids fanning their faces. read more

Great food and the staff are super nice. Favorite catering company and the food is to die for!

So, I have been avoiding the food trucks coming to work (new thing due to no food options on a large medical services campus) but..... All early afternoon there was a mass migration of employees parading back in forth with food from Flying Barracudas that I hadn't witnessed from other food trucks visiting in the past 2 weeks. I hate lines and waiting for food on an hour lunch. The two guys running it were like well oiled machines. Food was hot & ready off of a mobile bbq/ smoker. The sandwich was huge (had to cut it in half). I got the BBQ pork and macaroni salad. Really good! Slightly tangy, just spiced enough like they know what they are doing. No gristle or super fatty. Macaroni salad held it's own, noodles Al dente and super creamy, like what you'd expect from Aunt Bea on Andy Griffith s. This food trumped all the bad BBQ I have had elsewhere. I hope they come again. read more

These sliders were to DIE for. Having moved to Beaverton in the last two years I've struggled to find a decent bbq joint after having enjoyed Papa Soul Food in Eugene for 4 years... Big Mike does not only meet "decency" standards- he surpasses them with flying colors. (or barracudas) The smell of the food was the first thing to hit me when it was delivered. But after taking my first bite I realized the flavor packed a punch of it's own. Papa Soul Food will always have my heart, but Flying Barracuda will be my new go to! 110% recommend!! I'll personally be bringing my boyfriend, friends and their mom's just so everyone can enjoy it as much as me read more

A new event in my hood, food trucks in the parking lot behind Grace church on Weidler- today's treat was this bbque truck. Went with the brisket/ pork was sold out. We just chowed down on a single order and we know what's for lunch tomorrow. So huge servings - meat, couple of salads. We declined the bread and ate- and ate and ate. Wonderful- hope they are slated to return- it seems to be a rotating group of trucks. So good food, excellent price. read more

I seriously cannot stress this enough- if you need meat catered, you HAVE to go with Flying Barracuda. We've known Big Mike for years and his service and food are above and beyond. We had my dad's retirement party catered this past weekend, and the pulled pork and garlic chicken were a huge success. Everyone loved it, raved about it, and wanted to know where we got it! Honestly, we will never have our meat catered by anyone else, ever again. I'm not kidding. The pulled pork is amazing and it makes great little sliders, especially with extra Flying Barracuda barbecue sauce on top. The garlic chicken is also heavenly. We ordered more than enough for the party because the leftovers are just as delicious as when it's fresh off the smoker. It's THAT good people. Big Mike is so wonderful to work with, and he even personally delivered our catered food this weekend. He loves what he does, and it really shows. His food is phenomenal, his prices are more than fair, and his service is outstanding. He'll work with you to make sure you get exactly what you're looking for and he makes the catering process so easy and enjoyable. I wish I could give Flying Barracuda more than 5 stars! read more

I got the brisket sandwich and baked beans. My sand which was 1/3 fat. I don't mind fat, fat is flavor but this was too much. I had to do surgery on the meat in my sandwich, throw away a third of it and reassemble the sandwich. The baked beans were more mulched onion than beans. I will not be ordering from them again. read more

This is for the food cart that provides the meals at Uptown Market; wasn't sure where to leave the review. I am so happy that SW Portland now has an excellent BBQ place with fresh excellent food. One evening I had the slider plate ($10) which was three sliders; fried chicken, pulled pork, and beef brisket. It was so delicious that I went back a couple nights later to get the sampler plate ($18) which had ribs, brisket, and chicken (not fried) with two sides. I was not disappointed and I look forward to my next visit. The ribs were nicely cooked but the highlight was the moist BBQ chicken. I enjoyed the brisket as well but it was the chicken that was the highlight. The sides were fine; I'll have to try the Mac and Cheese again as I am on the fence on that dish. The coleslaw was good but a little too much dressing for my liking. read more

Was talking to these guys earlier in the day about coming in and before I knew it time passes and go down and they were closed up. But big mike and Lil Smokey hooked me up with one of the best brisket sandwiches I've had! Would easily go back again read more

Flying Barracuda - Brisket sandwich with Potato Salad - Caterers Near Me

Known Mike for close to 17 yrs. Have eaten his cooking many times. He has catered our union picnic for 400+ guests the past 8 yrs. Always a hit. His sauces and rubs are delicious. Several years ago I was cooking for my son's football camp. I needed 130 lbs of pork smoked, but had no smoker. I called Big Mike and asked if he could help me out. He not only smoked the pork, but pulled it too. When I asked his price he only asked for a case of beer. He did this for the kids; from a rival high school. That's the kind of guy Mike is. read more

This place catered a BBQ party our building complex put on for all their tenants, and man was it good! They had ribs, garlic chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, and the most awesome BBQ sauce I've ever had. I want to find out if they sell it. If only they weren't based so far away, this would be a regular spot for me! read more

I got "The Mullet" which is their huge BBQ sandwich with half pulled pork and half brisket with cole slaw on top. Super good and super messy just like it should be. For $11.00 I feel like I definitely got my money's worth. Couldn't finish the thing in one sitting, so saved some for leftovers. Would definitely buy again. read more

If you love BBQ and you want the friendliest, most service-oriented person to make sure your food is delicious and it's prepared and served on-time, then you need to hire Big Mike and his Flying Barracuda crew. He catered my daughters wedding and everything was perfect. He took care of all the details and went above and beyond what we asked to make sure we had zero hassles. Even though we didn't have drinks catered through him, his team made sure the drink station was always full and iced. They also collected the dirty plates from the reception hall - again, we didn't ask or expect them to do this. Big Mike also came through the reception to make sure everyone was happy with the food (they were!) The food was delicious. We selected pulled pork, chicken, baked beans, potato salad, caprese skewers, corn on the cobb, and shrimp skewers. Guests complimented the food and most folks went back for seconds. His pricing was excellent and definitely felt we received an amazing value for the price. I cannot recommend Big Mike and Flying Barracuda enough. His entire team were professional and super kind and helpful. read more

Would you, Barracuda? Yes I would. Again and again. We were fortunate enough to have Barracuda cater to our apartment complex! I went with the plentiful brisket sandwich topped with coleslaw. The Brisket had a fantastic tender fatty consistency that just melts in your mouth. The coleslaw was also crisp and delicious. Come for the brisket and stay for the sauce! The sauce was sweet and savory. If the real thing don't do the trick, you better eat up this sandwich quick! read more

Simply DELICIOUS. I ordered the Sweet Heat Burger and watched some playoff hockey at Uptown Market where Flying Barracuda is doing amazing things. We also got some brussels sprouts that knock the socks right off your feet. The burger was massive! Loaded with all the good stuff and a healthy portion of tater tots. The food was delivered to the table very fast and hot. Can't say enough good things about what Big Mike and Flying Barracuda are doing. read more

They came and hosted our business park barbecue. Good ribs that weren't overcooked, overseasoned, and have just the right amount of smoke. Same with the chicken thighs. Everything was great, even the corn and potato salad, which was the best I've had in a while. A+ for Flying Barracuda. read more

HOLY COW! If you like meat, you have got to try Big Mike's meat! This is the best caterer in Oregon (maybe even the West side of the Mississippi). Big Mike's pulled pork sandwiches are to die for. I have been to a few of Mike's catered events and when he shows up with the BIG smoker behind his truck my mouth starts watering. The service is excellent and always friendly. I have never left an event of his and felt hungry. Very satisfying. Give him a call and you wont be disappointed. read more
