Mitch’s Barbecue

We have been doing tastings for our wedding and did one with Mitch’s on Monday. The food was soooo good. We are sending in our deposit today and can’t wait to have the food for our wedding!

We had a family reunion picnic this past Sunday. The food was outstanding… the service was excellent. The food was served right on time. The sundae bar was the cherry on top of an excellent picnic. We would highly recommend Mitch’s BBQ to everybody and will not hesitate to use them in the future.

I attended an event catered by Mitch’s at the Veterans Pavilion in Schenley Park last night. I arrived an hour and a half late due to circumstances beyond my control at work, but there was still plenty of food when I arrived.
I had a BBQ pork sandwich and some chicken with baked beans, corn on the cob, pasta salad, and green salad. The BBQ pork was pretty good, although not the best I’ve ever had. It was very tender, but the texture was a bit strange (there seemed to be chunks of pork intermingled with the pulled sections, whereas I’m accustomed to pure pulled pork), and it was slightly spicy (this is weird, since I’ve never had spicy pulled pork before). The chicken was okay, but nothing to really write home about. The baked beans weren’t as sweet as I’m accustomed to. I didn’t have any issues with the corn, pasta salad, or green salad, but it’s hard to mess these items up. I liked the array of items offered for the dinner buffet, and I appreciated that they were labeled so I didn’t have to guess about what things were. The one criticism I have of the layout is that the corn on the cob was in a cooler beside the buffet table (I assume this was done in order to keep it warm and to save space), and I would have missed it had I not asked someone where it was (I saw the butter for the corn on the condiment table, which tipped me off that there was corn to be had).
This would probably be a 3.5 star review if it weren’t for the ice cream sundae bar. After dinner, they set up a table with four tubs of ice cream, and you could choose one or two flavors, which they’d scoop into a bowl for you. (I chose oreo and chocolate.) You then could take your ice cream to another table filled with sundae condiments, and dress it with as many as you like. I went pretty crazy, taking some of all of the following: hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles, crushed Reese cups, crushed brownies (?), whipped cream, and maraschino cherries. Needless to say, all of this made for one killer sundae! As for the ice cream itself, it was quite smooth and delicious – definitely the culinary highlight of the meal.
Given that I didn’t work with them to prepare for this event, I can’t comment on that aspect of the experience. However, as a consumer, I was pretty pleased with their offerings, and would enjoy attending another event catered by them.

Can’t say enough good things about Mitch’s BBQ. Mitch and Beverly were so easy to work with. They catered my daughter’s graduation party two weeks ago and people are still stopping me in the neighborhood or calling me to tell me what a wonderful time they had and what awesome food we served. We even had them bring a gyro cone, and prepare all of the fixins (which they had never done before) as part of our feast. Of course the ice cream bar was a huge hit with kids and adults alike. Prices were reasonable, they were on time and professional. Would highly recommend their business to anyone in town.
