The food was VERY good. 1 of their fryers broke so it took almost 3 hours to get everyone thru the line which didn't make anyone happy. The quality of the food was great and quantity of food also but time was a turn off for most. They also did not show up to the event early enough to set up so they didn't start serving until about 20-25 mins after the set-up start time. Would hire again for smaller event.

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

Make pictures more appealing- that was a large problem last night. You need a photographer or something to make those pictures were artistic . The pictures of the Philly cheesesteak do not look good and the burgers all look wilted. The taste of the food is not translating in the pictures. Your onion rings are delicious. Chicken fingers are average. You need a honey mustard dipping sauce. Cheeseburger was very good - add a pickle spear on the side. Fries were average Also add more choices than just Coke - and maybe you have them, but it doesn't show up on line.

The pulled pork and brisket were incredible. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'd eat it every week.

The food was absolutely amazing—the meats were tender and smoky, and every side dish was flavorful. The service team was outstandingly professional, friendly, and efficient, ensuring all our guests were served quickly and with a smile. Most importantly, the entire event went off without a single issue. Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse delivered incredible food and zero stress, making them the absolute highlight of our day!
