What it costs.
All of it.
Most catering pages make you call to find out the number. Here is the number. Three per-guest packages, pans and trays by the piece, and every fee, tax and payment rule written down so you can budget the party before you talk to anyone.
Per guest, three ways
The Cookout is 16.99 a guest: choice of two meats from pulled pork, chipotle pulled chicken, honey-brined turkey and smoked ham, two sides, house made brioche sliders and sauces. The Tailgate is 23.99: three meats including twelve-hour brisket and baby back ribs, three sides, cornbread and rolls. The Big Feast is 32.99: every smokehouse meat, slow-smoked wings, three sides, cornbread and rolls, donuts for dessert. Packages start at ten guests.
The math for 20, 50 and 100
Twenty guests: Cookout 339.80, Tailgate 479.80, Big Feast 659.80. Fifty: 849.50, 1,199.50, 1,649.50. One hundred: 1,699.00, 2,399.00, 3,299.00. Those are food totals. Add 6.625% sales tax for a New Jersey event, nothing for Delaware. Nothing is charged when you send the order; your date is held once the invoice is paid.
By the pan instead
Brisket is 159.99 for a half pan (4 lb, feeds about 10) and 319.99 for a full pan (8 lb, feeds about 20); pulled pork, chicken and ham 99.99 and 199.99; turkey 123.99 and 247.99; a half pan of ribs is four racks at 155.99. Sides run 44.99 to 69.99 for a half pan depending on the side, salad trays from 135.99, wing trays 39.99 for 25 and 79.99 for 50. No minimum on pans. Full service, the food truck and venue rental are quoted through the catering desk because staffing and hours change the number.

Questions
How much does BBQ catering cost per person?
Three per-guest packages: The Cookout 16.99 (two meats, two sides, rolls, sauces), The Tailgate 23.99 (three meats including brisket and ribs, three sides, cornbread, rolls), The Big Feast 32.99 (every smokehouse meat, wings, three sides, cornbread, rolls, dessert). That is the whole food price; sales tax follows the event (6.625% in New Jersey, none in Delaware) . Pans and trays are priced by the piece.
Are there service fees, delivery fees or gratuity?
No service fee and no gratuity added. Delivery and setup are priced per delivery, by distance and how much setup you want; we confirm the delivery price by phone before your event.
How much BBQ do I need for 20, 50 or 100 people?
With a per-guest package, exactly that many guests. With pans: a half pan is 4 lb of meat and feeds about 10, a full pan is 8 lb and feeds about 20. For 20 people, one full pan of meat (20) and two half pans of sides; for 50, two full pans and a half pan of meat and four or five pans of sides; for 100, double that. Mixed groups usually run two meats and three sides.
How do I hold a date, and what do I pay up front?
Send your order at 322bbq.com/catering/order and we confirm it and send your invoice. Nothing is charged when you send the order; your date is held once the invoice is paid. No service fee.
