Website could be better. Not enough resources to cater events, even with plenty of notice.

I hired Bryce to cater a post Covid wedding reception in the park for my son and his wife. From start to finish, Bryce was responsive, clear, fair and amiable. I knew we were in good hands and we were. One thing that impressed me is he assured me he would not charge me full price for the multitude of little kids who would be there, and he didn't! The brisket was moist and flavorful and the side dishes were all fresh and tasty. Bryce worked with me on little things I wanted--like metal forks, which I brought--and was very flexible and professional. Overall, I got a great value here and I highly

The communication leading up to my event was so easy. They showed up on time and set up quickly and was very nicely done. They provided everything we needed and really made my event so easy and less stressful. All my guests had rave reviews and I thought it was delicious! I personally recommend the chicken!!! But honestly it was all so good! Highly recommend!

Horrible food and service. Ran out of chicken within a few minutes. They were late and when the junky truck pulled in it started on fire. Which made another delay. Food was horrible.

Came to work this week and were even able to make it instead due to weather. Amazing service and BBQ was incredible. Great offerings with the bowls and samplers. Here's to hoping they come back!

Thank You to Pork Fat Slims! You did an outstanding job with your service, food, and friendliness. The guest shared that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. All three types of meat were fantastic, of course, the macaroni and potatoes were a hit as well. Having BBQ in the winter is the way to go.

I work at an event venue in Traverse City and recently did a wedding where Porkfat Slim's did the catering! We had 160+ guests! They were top notch and easy to work with! Food was amazing, they were right on time and hustled to make sure that the buffet line constantly had full containers of food! I would highly recommend them for your next event!

Slim's comes to my job every once in a while and whenever they come, I'm so happy with life! They have some of the best bbq I've ever had. Definitely top 5! I tried their pulled chicken and baked beans and it's seriously got soul! On another occasion, I had their beef brisket and mac and cheese and they always exceed my expectations. You guys also need a restaurant! Please!

I had PorkFat Slim's cater my wedding recently and they are a joy to work with.
They are VERY responsive to questions, and always got back to my wife or myself within 24 hours.
Their food is outstanding and their presentation was spectacular. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Delicious! They were pulled up at Railtown Brewery in Dutton, I was needing something minimal to hold me over. I had their Mac n cheese- which was divine. They also have these BBQ bowls which also looked very tempting, but physically I wasn't hungry enough. I am excited to come back and try more!

This BBQ is incredible! We ordered catering for a large group and everyone raved about it. Their meats are savory and tender, and I could have eaten the mac n cheese until I burst. They make their own sauces which are also unique and flavorful. They also make a dish called the "bacon explosion." It's even more incredible than it sounds...
