I'd like to start off by saying I could feel the warmth in David's voice the first time I spoke with him on the phone. This is the first time I've ever purchased something like this online without meeting in person or seeing the food firsthand. I must say I trusted my gut instinct and was right. Im grateful for all the reviews and pictures because these were also a big reason I chose David and his Cowabunga crew to cater my wedding. We chose the chicken & pulled pork for the meat along with his baked beans, macaroni & cheese, salad and rolls. Everything was delicious! Its obvious he pours his heart into the job he does! Sitting here with a million things to do after our event but wanted to take a few minutes out because I felt this review was more important. If you are on the fence about hiring this company don't be, you won't regret it i promise! Thank you David & family for being so respectful & courteous to myself my fiance and all the guests! Professionalism at its best!💚💚💚

Cowabunga BBQ provided the food for my small wedding (50 people) and we couldn't have been happier with it! The food was exceptional. Everyone raved about it for days. We also loved that we really got so much food for our money. Sometimes at weddings with buffets, there really isn't enough food for everyone, and that wasn't the case at all. We couldn't be more thankful.

The food was amazinnnnggg! We hired David for our wedding. He and his wife were so great to work with. They are so flexible and truly take pride in what they do. Let’s not even talk about the food. It was so hard to choose what entrees and sides we wanted because all the options were great. The food was delicious. Everybody kept talking about how good the food was. We chose the ribs, pulled pork, beans, her-roasted potatoes, and Caesar salad. The prices are so reasonable as well. Out of everyone that we contacted, David was the best to work with. Our wedding was in such a remote location that not many catering companies were willing to come out for a party of 20. However, David and his wife are extremely down to earth, welcoming and are truly the definition of an amazing family business. I would definitely recommend!

David and Cowabunga Barbecue recently catered my wife and I's wedding for 150 people! They did a fantastic job! Many people have told us since how much they enjoyed the Mac and cheese and pulled pork and how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. David is very professional and super easy to deal with which is invaluable when you are planning a wedding and dealing with so many vendors. We used his full service package which was very reasonable for what it was and made our life very easy knowing the food was "handled" Hands down I would use cowabunga bbq again for any event or wedding. 5 stars!
