A little about us
It has always been our goal, to serve the same high-quality “comfort-food” to our guests, as we would serve to our friends and families on any special occasion. With this thought in mind, Capital Barbecue was created. A true Texas Barbecue company, serving recipes from our friends & families to yours. From Mesquite-smoked meats and Fire-Grilled Steaks & Appetizers to ‘real Austin Fajitas’ and Homestyle sides, we truly hope you’ll taste a little bit of Texas in what we like to call “Comfort Cuisine.”
Service Options
At Capital Barbecue, we offer 3 convenient options for our ‘True Texas’ catering. Please call for delivery fees and full service pricing.
Option #1 | Drop-Off Catering
For those who have all the other details worked out and just need a little help with the food, this package is designed especially for you.
For drop-off catering, our staff will simply arrive about a ½ an hour before you’re ready to eat, and deliver the food. All of your food arrives pipin’ hot in disposable pans with all the serving necessities – utensils, sturdy paper plates, flatware, napkins, and of course, cups and bagged ice for your beverage. Our staff will be happy to arrange all the food, on whatever tables you provide, and then we’ll leave you and your guests to enjoy your party.
Option #2 | Full-Service Picnic-Buffet Catering
In this package you’ll really receive the “gold-star treatment”. Our staff will arrive early with everything needed for a BBQ buffet. We’ll bring tables for the food & beverage stations including decorative cloths. Our buffets can be decorated in “Red, White & Blue” or traditional “Red & white-checkered” cloths. Your buffet will include metal chafers, stainless serving utensils, sturdy plates, flatware & cups as well as dinner napkins and service ice for your beverage choice. Your buffet will be set-up and maintained by our friendly staff. We’ll even bus tables & help with clean up after your meal is served. Once everyone has eaten (generally an hour or 2 after we open the buffet) our staff will breakdown the buffet, do any final clean up and then leave you to enjoy the rest of your party.
Option #3 | The Complete BBQ Package
