Our story

Texas-trained.
Smoked in Michigan.

Bobby's BBQ started in 2018 with a custom-built offset trailer and a simple rule: smoke it long, season it right, and never serve anything we wouldn't feed our own family. Years later, we're catering weddings, fundraisers, corporate lunches, and tailgates across Metro Detroit with the same trailer, the same wood, and the same rule.

  1. Hand-trimmed brisket, slow-smoked 14+ hours over post oak and pecan.
  2. Real sides — pit beans, mac & cheese, slaw, cornbread. Made from scratch.
  3. Custom quotes. Every event is different — and our pricing reflects that.
  4. Family-run out of Mount Clemens, MI. Bobby answers his own phone.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why don't I see prices on the menu?

Because our pricing reflects real-time market costs on premium proteins like brisket and ribs, every event is custom-quoted. Tell us your guest count, the meats and sides you'd like, and your event details — we'll send a clear all-in number within 24 hours.

How far in advance do we need to book?

We ask for at least 7 days for weekday events and 2–3 weeks for weekends in peak season (May–September). Last-minute is sometimes possible — submit a quote and we'll see what we can do.

What's the minimum guest count?

25 guests for buffet service, 50 guests for our on-site smoker package. For smaller groups we can quote drop-off by the pound.

Do you travel outside Metro Detroit?

Yes — we cover roughly a 60-mile radius of Mount Clemens at no extra charge. Beyond that, a mileage fee applies. Note your venue in the quote form and we'll factor it in.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Slaw and cornbread can be made gluten-free; sides like collards and beans can be made vegetarian. Tell us about any dietary needs in the quote form.

How does payment work?

25% deposit secures your date once the quote is accepted. Final headcount confirmed 5 days out, balance due the day of the event. We accept card, check, ACH, and invoice for corporate accounts.

What does setup look like?

For drop-off, food arrives in insulated warming trays with chafing fuel — stays hot 2+ hours. For full buffet service we arrive 90 minutes ahead, set the spread, and stay to refill until guests are done.
