Once we were introduced to Big Al's Texas BBQ we were hooked. As a company with 500 employees we have many events where lunch or dinner is served. We used Big Al's five times in the first summer! It wasn't just the food, which of course is delicious - the best Texas BBQ in the State - but the service, the effort, the honesty that kept us coming back.
But let me not pass over the food too quickly. I'm typically not a BBQ eater. However, once I had this BBQ I ordered it twice for my own personal parties. The meat is tender and juicy with lots of flavor, but not too overwhelming, and there is always plenty. And don't forget the beans. I get as many positive comments about them as I get about the meat.
One last thing. I used Big Al's for out company party. I needed to make some alterations to the menu to facilitate small children. A.L Payne was so accommodating! He was willing to round up carrot sticks, chips, hot dogs and dessert (things that are not usually on his menu) just because I asked. He called several times before the big event, just to make sure that we had covered all our bases. He went out to the site prior to the event to make sure that he was prepared and he was the first one there, setting up, the day of the event. The party went flawlessly! And I should mention that after all the preparation of the hot dogs for the kids, they still preferred the BBQ.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Big Al's Texas BBQ for any event - large or small.

If you want a wedding dinner that your friends and relatives will be talking about for years, then you have got to get Big AL to cater it for you. I have twin sons that both got married last year in 2005. One son got married in August, so a barbeque theme seemed like a good idea. We had eaten Big AL's beef brisket and ribs before and knew how good they were. It was a huge success. Everyone there was raving about how good it was. When our relatives heard that our other son was getting married in December the first thing they asked us was if we were have A.L. cater it again. They were disappointed when we said we thought we'd try something different since it was winter-time and barbeques just don't seem to fit in the winter. It was a nice luncheon, but no one raved about how good it was, and they're still talking about the brisket and ribs. So I think if I did it again, it wouldn't matter what time of year it was, I'd still get Big AL to cater it. There's just nothing that compares to his ribs and brisket!

Thanks to Big Al's Texas BBQ, our baseball team's fundraiser was sucessful in raising the necessary funds to travel to Kentucky for their tournament. Everyone loved the BBQ beef sandwiches and having lived in Texas years ago, I can say they were definitely authentic. A.L. and his staff were so courteous and they made sure there was enough food for our everyone. We enjoyed the food and working with Big Al's that we hired Big AL's Texas BBQ to cater our church's girls camp fundraiser. Again, the money was raised and everyone LOVED the brisket. Thanks Big AL. You're the best!

Ski Utah's end of season party couldn't have been better. The food was fabulous. Big Al's Texas BBQ ribs and brisket sandwiches were the real thing. Real Texas barbeque in Utah. The meat just fell off the bones. They were lip-smacking. I'm not a big barbeque fan, but Big Al's made a barbeque lover out of me. We'll definitely have them cater our next event.

To whom it may concern:
The last couple of years I have had the great honor to get to know the owner of Big Al's Texas BBQ. He is one of the most honest, hard working, customer oriented individuals I know. As far as the products he serves, there are none better. As an Operations Manager of a large utility in the area, we had Big Al's provide the meal for our summer employee appreciation event. The employees are still talking about the meal and are requesting Big Al's to do our party again this coming year. I have also been to several church functions where Big Al has provided the meal. I would recommend Big Al's for any event no matter what time of the year or whatever the occasion. If you want great food (and plenty of it), no one can match this guy.
