About Our Catering

Since 2003, we’ve won over seventy-five awards for our barbecue. Best Ribs. Best Pulled Pork. Best Sauce. Best Chicken. But it’s not only the judges we aim to please. We serve championship quality at every catered event, slow smoked over hickory wood for up to fourteen hours and served hot and fresh.

But what really sets us apart is our championship service. Smiling faces on our staff members, eager to serve and make your event memorable. It’s genuine southern hospitality from Old Carolina. And it’s guaranteed to earn you kudos for putting it together.

 

What Customers are saying about our Catering

V. SalvatoreI Finally got a chance to say “Thank You”. My company will sometimes have lunch brought in or an event catered and Old Carolina does a fantastic job! Each and every time we had an event catered it was incredible. You really know how to bring your "A" game to an event. Every menu item we have tried is excellent. This year as I was placing our order via phone, the person suggested your banana pudding. I gave them a yes without hesitation, your food is that good. The pudding was no exception!

I can personally tell you that we have people waiting for the events we have catered by your company. Thank you again for the great job you do!!

L. SkarydThank you for the delicious food and the excellent service! We had your company cater the rehearsal dinner for our son’s wedding. Over 70 people enjoyed some of the best pulled pork, brisket and sides anyone could ever have. We received so many compliments! We have enough leftovers to share with church members tomorrow evening and I know the response will be the same. Thank you so much for making a special evening easy and relaxed. The delivery was right on time and so courteous. And of course–terrific sauce!

M. ColanerThere is no other bbq in Canton. Hands down…Old carolina is the best! I knew this going into our family Christmas party meeting and being in charge of the money, I decided that this year we would have the delicious pulled pork for a meat entry at this years Xmas party. It went first! I mean, I was thinking I was going to maybe take some home with me…Barely any left!!! A real winner and everyone loved it! So glad it occurred to me to have bbq in the winter and at Christmas!!! It was perfect! Now that my husband is retiring and getting ready to leave Ohio for his new job in Florida, I know what we’re having at his goodbye party!!! thanks for making a splendid (and i mean gggoooooooooood!) bbq meal!!!

Vicki C.We just had a catered company picnic and we all unanimously agreed that this was the best ribs, chicken and food overall! Thanks!

Our Sauces

Piedmont No. 5

Our signature sauce! A tangy blend of tomato and vinegar based sauces. Used by many cooks in the piedmont of North Carolina to appease the tastes of both sides of the state. It is great on any of our meats.

Original Classic

Most find this sauce a mild blend of sweet and smoky flavors with a hint of honey. Originating in western North Carolina, this tomato-based sauce is also favored in regions outside the Carolinas, such as Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago and Texas. Use this "traditional" sauce on any of our meats.

Coastal Carolina

This is a sweet vinegar and pepper-based sauce favored along the eastern coastal plains of North Carolina. While not consistent enough for most rib lovers outside the region, it is great on pulled pork sandwiches.

Original Gold

A flavorful mustard-based yellow sauce served predominately in South Carolina (and parts of Georgia, too.) While unfamiliar to many parts of the country, this sauce is great on all of our meats, and a good dipping sauce for hush puppies.

Screamin' Beaver

Be careful. This sauce sneaks up on you. You'll first enjoy the taste and then it hits you. Wow! However, if it's still not hot enough for your taste buds, ask for a bottle of our Worst Case Scenario.

How We Do It

We cook all day and all night to make sure we have the finest barbecue you'll ever have. Just like the bbq joints you'll find in road-side shacks throughout North and South Carolina, our meat is dry rubbed and slow smoked by a certified pit boss. And our five different sauces are served on the side because we have nothing to hide.

What is the Smoke Ring?

Is that meat done? Not to worry. The pink color of our meats is a natural result of the slow smoking process. Note how the center of the pork/chicken is thoroughly cooked. The outer meat turns pink where the smoke flavor has penetrated. The deeper the ring, the heavier the smoke flavor.
