Georgia Smoke was easy to work with for my wedding reception bbq. They worked with me to provide a custom menu including fresh oysters, a hog, pulled pork, brisket and many sides! Additionally, they were able to work with the event covid requirements. The day of the event, the food was prompt, beautifully displayed, and everyone kept complementing the food and service both during and after the event. At the end of the night, the leftover food was neatly packaged and labeled for easy transport back to my freezer. Thank you Georgia Smoke for a delicious dinner!

John and Georgia Smoke were absolutely amazing to work with. They catered an outdoor, intimate birthday party for our Mom's 60th and it was PERFECT! The oysters were a huge hit --- and the BBQ was delicious!!! Our guests were raving!!! The set up was fantastic and John worked with us to curate the perfect set up for a Covid-friendly/appropriate shindig. His set up + breakdown was also super efficient. Would 100% work with them again and recommend for your BBQ + Oyster event! THANK YOU!!!

We worked with John and his team at Georgia Smoke to throw a backyard oyster roast/BBQ, and it was perfect. They could not have been more professional or easy to work with. And the food was UNBELIEVABLE! We will 100% be working with them again and recommend using them to anyone who is throwing a party!

Georgia Smoke without fail delivers THE most authentic and delicious, smoked pork butt and beef brisket I've been able to find in Georgia. If you get a chance to enjoy any offerings from GS, do not pass it up.

Georgia Smoke is the best brisket I have had in the city of Atlanta by far. John obviously knows what he is doing when it comes to preparing brisket. He is a real joy to work with and makes the whole process effortless. I am very happy I ordered from Georgia Smoke and will be looking to have him cater my next get together, that's for sure.

I had a wonderful experience using Georgia Smoke! We ordered BBQ, Brisket, and oysters (raw as well as steamed) and it was all great! John was extremely professional and easy to work with, and we are already discussing the need to find another opportunity to hire them again.

Georgia Smoke delivers again! Repeat customer! We hosted an open house at our Market with over 200 in attendance. Georgia Smoke was punctual and provided everything needed to offer a fabulous experience for all. Customers commented this was THE BEST barbecue they’ve ever tasted. And, the coleslaw was over the top! Thank you, Georgia Smoke. We look forward to our next event!

John Lenz of Georgia Smoke provided a fantastic meal for my family reunion. We had 100 members of our family come in town from all over for a weekend of events, kicked off by a huge meal. Georgia Smoke cooked pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, and smoked salmon as main foods. The sides were great too. Everything tasted great, was hot and fresh and we ate every bite. I highly recommend Georgia Smoke. I will be hiring them again!

For the third year in a row, I hired Georgia Smoke to cater the skeet shoot and BBQ event that I host for clients, friends, and referral sources. I have come to expect good food and great service from Georgia Smoke BBQ. Even with these high expectations, I came away impressed. The food was great, the service professional, and the overall experience was painless. It is truly comforting to hand off an important piece of my biggest marketing initiative of the year and know that it will be handled well. This is the peace of mind that Georgia Smoke delivers. Thank you John, for another great year!

For my 50th birthday party I wanted to have an old fashioned pig roast and invite a lot of people. So my husband and I contacted Georgia Smoke BBQ and they delivered just what I had in mind. They smoked a pig which was laid out for people to pick. It made for a great conversation starter and everyone raved about the pork and all the sides. We had smoked brisket and salmon too and everyone loved these as well as all the sides. Everything was on time and was served appropriately, just right for an outdoor summer party. It was fun! John really wanted to deliver the vision I had for my party and it was perfect. I am already planning a future event with Georgia Smoke.

Georgia Smoke catered a recent party for us and we couldn’t have been happier! Working with John was wonderful. He was quick to respond to communication and placed great attention to all the details to ensure our party was a success. He went above and beyond just catering by also referring someone to create a beautiful outdoor atmosphere with lighting, as well as offering suggestions with additional seating. The food was incredible! Everyone raved about it, and we especially loved the salmon and loaded baked potato salad. We are so thankful we chose Georgia Smoke and look forward to working with them in the future.
