FAQ
Catering questions, answered
How much does BBQ catering from The Burnt Crow cost?
Every event gets a custom quote. The price depends on your menu, your guest count, the level of service — drop-off or on-site cooking with buffet service — and how far we travel. Send a catering request with your date, guest count, and location, and we'll reply with a written quote.
Is there a minimum guest count for catering?
Yes — our catering minimum is 25 guests. We cater everything from backyard parties and graduations to weddings and corporate events.
How far in advance should I book BBQ catering?
We recommend booking one to two months ahead. Popular weekends fill first, so the earlier the better. If your date is sooner, send a request anyway and we'll tell you whether we can fit it in.
What areas do you cater?
We're based in Lake St. Louis, Missouri, and cater throughout St. Charles County and the greater St. Louis area, including O'Fallon, Wentzville, St. Peters, St. Charles, and Chesterfield. Outside those areas, travel is often no problem for larger events — just ask.
Do you cook on-site at the event?
It depends on the event. For larger events we can bring the smoker and cook on-site; for smaller gatherings we cook at our pit and deliver the food hot and ready to serve. Tell us about your event and we'll recommend the right setup.
What kind of barbecue do you serve?
Competition-style barbecue cooked hot and fast over real wood fire: smoked brisket, pulled pork, St. Louis ribs, chicken, and more, with scratch-made sides, rubs, and sauces. Every menu is built to order from our catering menu.
