Fall is a pretty great time to get people together in Central Texas.

Football is back. The weather is finally starting to cooperate. And before you know it, the calendar is packed with school events, church gatherings, office lunches, tailgates, family celebrations and everything in between. If you’re the one planning the event, there’s usually one big question that comes up pretty quickly: What are we going to feed everybody?

That part can be easy. At Uncle Dan’s, we’ve been feeding Waco since 1978. From a couple dozen people at the office to a few hundred hungry guests at a big event, our BBQ catering makes it easy to put a meal on the table that people are actually excited to eat.

BBQ Just Works for a Crowd

There’s a reason Texans have been gathering around barbecue for generations. It’s good food. It feeds a crowd. And nobody has to stare at a tiny plate wondering what they’re supposed to eat afterward. Smoked meats, hearty sides, bread, sauce and all the fixings make it easy for everybody to grab a plate and dig in.

Whether you’re planning a casual lunch, a church gathering, a company event or a big family celebration, Uncle Dan’s BBQ catering in Waco can help you take care of the food without making things complicated. After all, you’ve got enough other things to worry about.

How Much BBQ Do You Need?

This is probably the question we hear the most. You don’t want to run out of brisket halfway through the line. But you probably don’t need enough leftovers to feed your family until Christmas, either. The right amount depends on the size of your group, the kind of event you’re having and what you’re serving.

That’s where having an experienced catering team helps. Tell us how many people you’re expecting and a little about your event, and we can help you figure out how much food makes sense. No BBQ math required.

Pick Your Meats. Add the Sides. We’ll Take It From There.

Now for the important part: what’s everybody eating? Build your catering menu around Uncle Dan’s favorites like smoked brisket, sausage, turkey and other BBQ classics, then add the sides and fixings to round everything out.

For bigger groups, a couple of meat choices and a few sides usually give everybody plenty of options without turning lunch into a buffet the size of I-35. You can check out the Uncle Dan’s menu to see more of the BBQ favorites we’ve been serving Waco for generations. And of course, don’t forget the bread, BBQ sauce, pickles and onions. Around here, those aren’t extras. They’re part of the deal.

Feeding the Office? We’ve Got You.

Office lunches can get complicated fast. One person wants this. Somebody else wants that. Before long, you’re trying to keep track of 27 individual lunch orders. There’s an easier way.

BBQ works great for employee lunches, client meetings, training days, company celebrations and just about any other excuse to feed the office. For smaller groups, our group catering and BBQ delivery in Waco makes it simple. We’ll get the food ready and bring it to you so everyone can grab a plate and get back to business. Although we won’t blame anybody for taking a little longer lunch when brisket is involved.

Churches, Schools, Teams and Community Groups

If you’ve ever helped organize a church event, school activity, booster club dinner or team gathering, you already know the drill. There are a hundred things to get done. Food doesn’t need to become number 101.

Uncle Dan’s has been part of the Waco community since 1978, and we’re proud to help local churches, schools, teams and organizations feed their people. Whether you need a simple group order or catering for a much bigger event, we’ll help you find an option that fits.

And Then There’s Football

You can’t really talk about fall in Central Texas without talking about football. Friday nights under the lights. Saturdays watching the Bears. Sundays on the couch. If you’re feeding a team, hosting a tailgate, having people over for the game or just looking for an excuse to order a pile of brisket and sausage, BBQ is pretty hard to beat.

Get the meats. Add the sides. Put the game on. Done. And if somebody wants one of our famous Texas Taters instead, we certainly aren’t going to argue with them.

Delivery or Full-Service Catering?

Not every event needs the same setup.

For office lunches, meetings and smaller gatherings, group catering and BBQ delivery may be exactly what you need. We prepare the food and get everything ready so your group can serve themselves.

Planning something bigger? Our full-service BBQ catering options can help make feeding a large crowd a whole lot easier.

When you contact us, it helps to have a few basics ready:

• Event date
• Approximate number of guests
• Event location
• Type of event
• Menu preferences
• Delivery or catering needs

Don’t have every detail figured out yet?

That’s okay. We can help with that part too.

How Early Should You Book Fall Catering in Waco?

Sooner is always better.

Fall gets busy around Waco, especially once October and November roll around. Between football, weddings, school events, church gatherings, company functions and the beginning of holiday celebrations, popular dates can fill up quickly.

If you already have a date on the calendar, go ahead and get in touch. You don’t need to know exactly how many pounds of brisket you’ll need before you call. That’s our department.

You Bring the People. We’ll Bring the BBQ.

A good gathering doesn’t have to be complicated. Get your people together. Find a place to sit. Maybe turn on a football game. Uncle Dan’s can handle the food.

From office lunches and church gatherings to school events, weddings, family celebrations and big community events, we’ve been feeding Waco for generations. And we’d be glad to feed your crew next.
