Company BBQ Food Ideas: 10 Mouthwatering Menus

Food brings us together. What would a company picnic be without food, after all? Whether it’s bonding over a cold one, or sharing an amazing handmade lunch, food is the one thing that’s sure to always unite us. If you’re looking for company BBQ food ideas, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve got you covered, from themed menus to novelty add-ons, and everything in between. Here’s a few ideas to get you started:

Classic BBQ Menu

If you picture a department cookout, chances are you think of burgers and hotdogs, don’t you? Our Classic BBQ Menu encompasses everything one thinks of when “cookout” is mentioned. We offer not only hamburgers and hotdogs (and their veggie versions), but potato salad, garden salad, fresh fruit, and all the fixings. Our amazing caterers grill everything over a top-of-the-line woodsmoke grill, giving it that extra special flavor. We’ll also bring in lemonade, bottled water, and sodas for your team to enjoy. If you’re looking for a classic grill-out menu, this is the perfect choice for you!

This menu pairs well with a Luxury upgrade to your employee cookout, where we treat your guests to only the finest. For this menu, our caterers bring in prime steaks, spareribs, baby back ribs, mouthwatering bourbon drenched chicken breasts, shrimp kabobs, delectable lamb, grilled salmon or tuna, and whole pig on a spit roast.
