Catered cookouts are our version of traditional event catering while on-site cookouts are more of an interactive culinary experience. Both provide the highest-quality food and service with the main difference being how much time our team spends on-site and how much of the cooking process is on display for your guest to observe and take part in.

We bring our signature cookout to you. There are no servers or assistance once your event begins but we provided a custom selected menu with all of the fixin’s you need. We set it all up and return later to pick-up any non-disposable serving and display items. This option works best for smaller informal events and parties of less than 25 people.

While our unique style of service and presentation may not be right for every couple, in general our cookouts can add many great wedding day memories. Every couple and every venue are a little different. If you are planning a wedding and want to have a cookout, we should talk ASAP. The more time we have, the better! Reach out today to discuss possibilities and availability!

Of course! We want all guests to have a safe and enjoyable experience at your cookout. We strongly encourage hosts to choose a variety of offerings to help ensure their guests have plenty of options available. If someone has an allergy, we 100% must know in advance. We will alter menu items and offerings in favor of safety.

Trick love the kids! We can create a custom kid-friendly cookout menu and also have a firm handle on the old stand-bys like Mac and Cheese, Chicken Strips and to-order Personal Pizzas.

We can absolutely arrange for rental of regular event necessities like tables, chairs, linens, glassware and china. We also have access to canopies, dance floors, lighting and sound systems. We rent them for you with no retail markup using our preferred vendors to ensure reliability and quality.

Due to the nature of our cookouts, conducting a traditional catering tasting is difficult. We would love to share our food, vibe & experience with you ahead of your event. If you are planning an event for 25 or fewer, please see our Event Calendar for our pop-up event schedule. Stop by and check us out! Planning a wedding or larger event? Contact us to RSVP a spot at one of our locally held quarterly cookouts. Be our guest!

Sure. Our team can serve alcohol and we offer several bar service options, from someone to pour beer and wine, to setting up a full bar with custom cocktails. R&R does not provide any alcohol. You may or may not be able to BYOB, this is a question for your venue or event planner. If you plan to throw a cookout at your home or office the choice is yours to make.

At all 'On-site' cookouts we prepare both a special first taste while the food is being prepared and also a sweet dessert bite to say, ‘Thank you,’ once the meal is through! For 'Catered' cookouts, hosts choose either a first taste -or- last bite. 'Drop-off' cookouts are yummy and convenient but are not particularly conducive to serving first taste or last bite courses so neither are included.

If we brought it with us, used it or rented it on your behalf we take care of breaking it down, cleaning it and ensuring it is returned properly. We leave our work and service areas in the same or better condition than how it was found. We do not remove or retain flowers, centerpieces or décor nor clean up excessive mess created by confetti, misuse or overindulgence.

Wedding receptions and other large events typically book 6-12 months in advance. Smaller cookouts book a bit closer to the event date. Weekends, holidays and other popular dates often book quickly… some more than 12 months out. If you want to plan a cookout, we should talk ASAP. The more time we have to plan the better! Reach out today to discuss possibilities and availability!

The final count is due 7-14 days before your cookout. This count is considered a guarantee. Every cookout is a little bit different and we take great care in sourcing our food. Good sourcing takes just a bit of extra time. When your event is booked, your contract will include the final count date.

It is our intention to do as much cooking on-site as possible. We do a LOT of pre-preparation and staging but our goal is to create an immersive cooking experience for guests. For each cookout our team carefully reviews any limitations created by individual venues’ location. We consider quantity, service and all other aspects of producing a high-quality finished product.

As a general rule, we provide one server for every 25 people. Using your event details, we will recommend the minimum number of servers required based on our experience. Our goal is to make your cookout run smoothly, therefore we have a two-server minimum for all events.

The truth is maybe - but possibly not. We are a full-service catering company and take care of a lot. Food & service, rentals, set-up, breakdown and cleaning. Depending on the scope of your event a dedicated planner can help things happen more smoothly. For weddings, larger events, events held at top tier venues and those with extensive or intricate décor, an event planner may be required.

Due to our demand and the nature of our cooking we require a 50% deposit. This payment along with a signed contract will secure your date. Refunds are possible depending on the amount of notice given.

We provide a personalized and detailed proposal listing all charges. We include: food, rentals obtained on your behalf, labor for service staff, sales tax and a catering fee that includes supplies and cleaning. All costs are clearly outlined in each proposal and contract. You will never be surprised by any hidden costs. No additional fees will be added without your prior knowledge and written consent.

No gratuity is included on the bill unless we are directed to add one by the client in advance. Gratuities are not required nor expected but are graciously accepted to acknowledge the staff's job well done. A gratuity of $25-50 per staff member or a percentage added to the bill total is customary and greatly appreciated. We do not put out any tip jars and any tips offered from guests will be politely declined.

Sure! Things happen. Sometimes events need to be canceled. We understand. You can be refunded in different percentages depending on how far out from the event date you have to cancel. In some cases, 100%. Like we say every cookout is different so see your contract for a detailed breakdown.

You know it! We are professional caterers & certified food safety managers, qualified to train staff members and even guests on proper food handling & safety. We carry all needed insurance and choose reputable name brand carriers. We can and will provide any needed COIs and proof of coverage.
