Old SLO BBQ Co.

We used Old Slo BBQ for our wedding of 150 people and I would hire them again! They make great food and they are so easy to work with. We modified the menu many times and each time they responded quickly and had thoughtful recommendations. When we needed to make adjustments based on allergies, they were quick to outline how we could best accommodate our guests. I would highly recommend them for your party, especially if you are looking for a high quality, affordable option.

We hired Old SLO BBQ as our wedding caterer. Kevin was extremely easy to work with and made the whole process stress-free. The value was outstanding, especially compared to other caterers in the area, and the food was beyond amazing. Everyone loved it!

Very good pulled pork sandwich and fries... service was efficient and atmosphere was very pleasant.

I don't know why it's taken me so long to leave a review for this amazing restaurant. It was the first place I tried when I first moved to SLO, and it was the last I had before moving away. Now, it's become a go to spot whenever I'm in town. Highly recommend. Also, if you don't know what to get - can't go wrong with the candied bacon tri tip sliders (it's become a regular order).

The bbq here is good. I recommend the tri tip plate. They have games for the kids while you wait for your food.

CATERING REVIEW: My wife and I decided to get married in San Luis Obispo, and we were looking for places to cater our wedding. Old SLO BBQ came highly recommended from multiple sources, and so we decided to inquire with them. Kevin quickly got back to us and we were able to set up a meeting during our next visit to SLO to see our venue. Meeting with Kevin was a great experience. He was very professional, friendly, and helpful with figuring out what we needed as far as portions go. The best part of the meeting was getting to taste all of their delicious food! I absolutely love Santa Maria style BBQ and this place absolutely hits the mark and we were ready to sign the dotted lines. We especially enjoyed one of their BBQ sauces, and Kevin gave us a tub of it to take home! Kevin was very clear throughout the entire process with the details and coordinating timing of food preparation for the wedding day, and communication with him was never a problem. On the day of the wedding, the Old SLO staff was very friendly and professional. The appetizers were a big hit, and the dinner was hot, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone. We definitely appreciated all of the veggie options for our vegetarian guests. Kevin also made sure that my wife and I had plates prepared for us, specifically to our liking, as we sat for dinner. They also provided bussing and non alcoholic beverage services, which was awesome! We really appreciate all the hard work and efforts that Kevin and his catering staff at Old SLO BBQ put in to help make our wedding a truly unforgettable experience, and we can’t thank them enough!

WEDDING CATERING REVIEW: I could write all day long about how delicious Old SLO’s food is and how many compliments we received about the meal from our guests, but what made them the perfect wedding caterer was their ability to quickly adapt when weather became unpredictable. Kevin and his team worked around on again/off again rain showers, wind, and changes in the game plan without a hitch. As the bride, I knew we would be in good hands but we truly had a perfect experience and were so blown away by this team’s professionalism!! They were also incredibly helpful with clean up and racking up our rental dishes alongside our coordinator. If you’re looking for incredible food your guests will love and an experienced, well-oiled machine of a team, these are your people!!

I work in this shopping area. Louis/ or (Luis) Was super kind, and extremely attentive. Ive been here 2 times for my grandpa - and both times the pit plate has been his favorite. Thanks ! Amazing service and good food. Also such a good ambiance - love the outdoor seating area. Great for kids.. and sunny weather.
