Matt has always been exceptionally responsive and proactive in understanding our requirements to ensure our event runs smoothly. Drawing from our past events, he offered great recommendations on our order to keep everything on schedule. Timeliness is critical for our outing, and Relish delivered ahead of schedule at every single turn: Check-in: Scheduled for 7:30 AM, but they were fully set up and ready by 7:15 AM. Lunch: Scheduled for 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM, but pre-made wraps and chips were completely prepped by 10:45 AM. Post-Round Appetizers: Slated for 1:30 PM, but when our golfers finished early, Relish seamlessly pivoted and was ready for us by 1:00 PM. On top of that, they provided two beverage carts that did a fantastic job supporting our outing throughout the day. Matt, Jake, Maria, and Fabian,  are always an absolute pleasure to work with!

We had the pulled pork, mac and cheese, special recipe chicken, salad and coleslaw. EVERYTHING was delicious. I only have a few leftovers and can't wait to eat them! On top of the great food, the service was fantastic! Everything came as ordered, right on time (seriously..down to the minute), and the delivery was super clean and professional (important in days of Covid). Extra special care was taken for cleanliness by the deliverer (gloves, mask, considerate distancing), and he was very professional. The presentation was also great as the packaging was perfect and orderly... with thoughtful utensils and sizing. Placing the order (questions/menu review/etc) was also a top notch experience. In summary: food was as good as it gets/customer service was as good as it gets. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I will absolutely use Bibbs Backyard BBQ again! Thanks Chris and team!

Now for the food- all of our guests couldn't stop raving about the food- they loved it all, from the pulled pork(the sauce that comes with it is simply amazing), to the two types of Mac and Cheese, to the roasted potatoes- all exceeded the expectations we had, which were high to begin with. Thank you Chris for making our party such a success- we would highly recommend Bibbs Backyard BBQ for any event you may be planning.

Friendly service, delicious food!…read more Well worth the wait for amazing fresh and flavorful food. There's so much to choose from. You can get a fried or grilled chicken sandwich, meatloaf sandwich, or pulled pork sandwich. I chose to get the soul food split which includes the choice of a meat, 2 sides, and 2 cornbread fritters. My choices were the meatloaf with green beans, homestyle potatoes, and included 2 cornbread fritters. The flavor of the meatloaf was to die for! I really enjoyed it with the grilled onions! The cornbread fritters were also moist and flavorful. Ill be back for more! I like how they make their own rubs and you can even choose which rub you want on grilled chicken. I want to try that next time! I will definitely be back to try more food when Aunt Tina's is near my neighborhood, heck...I'd even travel for this food!

Chicken tenders were pretty decent, moist and flavorful. It tasted good with the homemade devine sauce and garlic aoli. Fried green tomatoes were very fresh and tasty. Cornbread fritters were okay.

I've been to several banquet halls in the suburbs and this has to be up there in terms of class and service. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The main hall was big, modern-looking, clean, and stylish. Even the outside of the venue had beautiful garden to sit down, have a drink, and a conversation. Great landscape in the summer. As a guest, the plate for the evening was already pre-determined by the hosts. That night we were served a broccoli soup, garden salad, and some bread, It's the usual you get but it was very good. The main dish was prime rib with horseradish sauce, buttery mashed potatoes, and some vegetables. I was very impressed with the cook and taste of the prime rib. Sometimes banquet halls serve a decent tasting, small cut of prime rib. But the prime rib here was cooked to perfection, well seasoned, soft as butter, and huge. However, the best surprise was the horseradish sauce. The sauce was not too over-powering yet it provided a cool compliment to the prime rib that made it the best tasting horseradish sauce I've ever had. Food overall was superb! In short, for an 18th birthday/graduation it was quite the elegant experience that must have been very special for the celebrant!

The class setup was excellent, with ample room and neatly arranged cooking utensils for easy food preparation. I appreciated that the instructor handled some of the more laborious tasks before we started cooking. He prepared ingredients in front of us, sharing interesting facts about the cuisine and demonstrating excellent knife skills to ensure freshness and engagement. The 90 minutes flew by as we learned various techniques and explored different ingredients. The instructor guided us through each step, from managing the cooking flame to perfecting our knife skills, ensuring a well-prepared and delicious final dish. As someone who has no experience in the kitchen and was very scared of cooking, the instructor Alex made sure everyone was at ease and would walk around to help as needed. I'm eager to attend more classes here in the future and bring along some friends to share in the experience.

The setup of the class was quite nice, with plenty of space in the room and all the cooking utensils neatly laid out for food preparation. I was quite glad that some of the tedious parts of the meal prep like thinly slicing cucumbers, cooking medium grain rice, and filleting the chicken were done by the instructor prior to our cooking. To ensure maximum freshness, he prepared this is front of the class while talking about fun facts that related to the cuisine (and demonstrated excellent knife technique). The 90 minutes went by quite quickly as we were introduced to a variety of techniques and ingredients. The instructor made sure we were guided through every step from managing the cooking flame to following good knife techniques to ensure that the final product would be prepared well and delicious. I'm looking forward to trying some more classes here in the future and bringing along some additional friends with me.

We were interested in Schaul's for catering for our wedding in Chicago. We were looking at doing…read moresomething different and fun and wanted to book a catering company that would be able to accommodate and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and would be willing to commute out to Chicago to provide services. Let me say that from the very beginning, Schaul's and specifically Mo who was our coordinator impressed us so much! We went to a tasting, where the chef came out to talk to us about the food and the preparation (so impressive, and different from our other tasting that went to). When we had a few suggestions/modifications to the food (we wanted the fried chicken a little crispier, different appetizers etc.), we booked another tasting and the chef took our notes and modified the food to our liking. Not to mention during the entire process, Mo was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions and concerns. We signed the contract and the entire year leading up to our wedding, Mo assisted the entire way, making sure that we had everything we needed. We decided to BYOB since our venue allowed it (seriously such a great decision), and Schaul's provided the mixer package along with bartenders. Mo helped coordinate all of it and made the process so much easier. Schaul's not only assisted with catering services, but also helped set up some decorations as well day of, which was such a big help as we didn't have a day of coordinator. And oh my goodness, the food! THE FOOD! It was seriously the best wedding food we've ever had and we received so many compliments from our guests. We even had the father of the groom state multiple times during the night how "this was the most food I've ever eaten at a wedding". We had people steal onion dip from the cocktail hour and bring it with them to the dinner part because they loved it so much. We got so many rave reviews on not only the food but also the wait staff. The wait staff were so on top of it, several waiters stopped me during the night to ask me specifically if I needed a drink. They moved tables for the dance floor, and were super attentive. I also heard from guests that the bartenders were also incredible! We seriously could not have asked for more! Schaul's and Mo absolutely crushed it! They were able to take our different menu (fried chicken, lobster rolls etc.) and make it completely work with our wedding! Seriously, do yourself a favor and book them!
