Everything is always cooked perfectly and the flavors are next level. He works together beautifully with his wife who makes awesome desserts. It is a full service experience from start to finish--preparing a menu, cooking food on site at your home, and then they take care of all the clean up when it's over. Not only is Chef Al an amazing chef, but he also is a pleasure to talk to, he's engaging, and he's happy to answer questions. Our kids love him too! If you're looking for an amazing private chef to deliver the ultimate luxurious dining experience, look no further. Chef Al is your guy!

WOW what an incredible dinner experience!…read more We provided Chef Al with a rough idea of our dinner preferences along with a couple food allergies and he created a stunning menu in no time. He was also able to make adjustments as needed. The private dinner was absolutely phenomenal and delicious. Chef Al is no ordinary chef, you can tell he has some upscale culinary training and experience. The food was so delicious we didn't want to stop eating lol. Ahi with an incredible soy orange glaze over crispy wontons and Chilean sea bass cooked to perfection were just a couple of the highlights from our dinner. Chef Al is so great this was actually the second time we booked him! And his encore was just as incredible as the first private dinner he did for us last year. Super friendly and professional - would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect private dinner experience.

I truly hate to leave negative reviews, but this is what happened to me…read more At first, the owner/Chef came across as very kind, responsive, and eager to help. I paid $140 for a tasting, which went great (honestly, very good food). But after that every follow-up email took longer and longer to get a response, and when I asked multiple times for an updated quote so I could move forward with a deposit and secure my date, I was completely ghosted. Unfortunately, it feels like he took my money and disappeared. That's unprofessional, disappointing, and frankly disrespectful. Weddings are stressful enough without vendors wasting time and hard-earned money. Proceed with caution before considering this business.

Living in Orlando and a vegan, the pressure was intense to find a caterer to deliver on all levels: delicious food, on-time delivery, accessible when needed. Smokin Ain't EZ BBQ checked all the boxes. Sam was extremely helpful in guiding me with the amount of food needed to serve during a difficult time. I really appreciated Sam's curiosity and open-mindedness to bring vegan options to his menu, too. My event included: Pecan Smoked Pulled Pork, Texas Style Smoke Chopped Brisket, EZ Smoked Pulled Chicken, EZ Smoked Country Sausage & Onions,Bodacious Baked Beans, Creamy Key West Coleslaw, Pepper Du Potato Salad, Southern Style Green Beans & Ham, and EZ Mac N Cheese. Although I did not taste any of the food, I asked everyone what they enjoyed the most. Here are their faves in order of most consumed: Chopped Brisket, Mac N Cheese, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Pulled Chicken, Green Beans, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw. My only regret is I didn't capture any pictures to validate my review. If you're skeptical of a vegan's review, know that I had 90 people in attendance that will agree with me. Valrico, Riverview, and Brandon have a hidden gem with Smokin' Ain't EZ BBQ!

Sikes Southern BBQ's Motto is "Eggceptionally Good" because they use the famous Big Green Egg Ceramic Smokers which are very well respected in the BBQ community. Big Green Eggs use an air tight ceramic cooking chamber that evenly spreads heat, retains heat, and keeps food moist. Sikes Southern BBQ serves smoked bbq ribs, pulled pork, and wing options including a pulled pork taco, pulled pork sandwich, pulled pork nachos, 3 rib plate with 2 sides, pulled pork & rib combo with 2 sides, pulled pork plate with 2 sides, sweet bbq wing plate with 2 sides, and a Sikes southern Sunday with home-made mac & cheese topped with baked beans pulled pork & coleslaw with bbq sauce. Sweet treats include chocolate cherry fudge cake with whipped cream and a cherry on top, & carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I got the BBQ pulled pork n coleslaw taco topped with nacho cheese. I added side toppings offered on the side: jalapeños, banana peppers, and 2 types of BBQ sauces. The pulled pork was lean and not fatty, tender and juicy and not overcooked or dry. I liked both BBQ sauces. 8/10 My coworkers got the Slaw Hawg which is the BBQ pulled pork sandwich topped with coleslaw. For $1 more than the taco, the portion size of pork included with the sandwich is slightly larger than the taco but the taco was filling enough for me. My coworkers were all pretty happy with their meal too. 8/10 I'm not a huge BBQ pork fan but I can say this BBQ pork was pretty good and I'd probably have it again. Sike Southern BBQ's pricing was very reasonable. If they ever visit your offices or area, I definitely recommend trying them out!
