Up In Smoke BBQ & Co

You MUST try the BBQ sauce. I forgot to grab some the other day and the brisket isn’t the same without it!!!

Up In Smoke catered my company’s Christmas party this past Saturday and they were awesome as always! Brisket was falling apart, it was so tender. Ribs were big, meaty and loaded with Junior’s Rub for Grub (which is so yummy) and my fav, the chicken legs were delicious. Portions are huge (unlike some places, where one person is allotted 2 ribs) and their sides are great! Not one compliant about them and that’s saying a ton, since I had to feed 90 folks. If you’re looking for a professional, top-​notch caterer who will provide excellent food for your company event, give these guys a call. Jennifer, the ops manager, is wonderful to work with.

5 star reviews should be simple and elegant. Let me start by thanking the cow that gave her life to become a perfectly cooked brisket. First, the smell gets in to your nose, and you feel as if your nose took a bite of a smoky piece of meat. Then you think to your self should I just use my hands or use a fork and knife. Just go for it, you don’t need anything but your fingers. The brisket is tender no need for forks. Then you take a bite. As you take a bite you close your eyes and imagine a field of cows that are in line to be cooked to perfection. The meat tells your tongue, more, more and you listen, because you know it’s good for you. The flavor goes all the way down your esophagus into your large intestine. Your whole body is in an ecstasy because it has just tasted the best brisket in Texas. Then you take another bite and your dream has being fulfilled. You have now tasted the best brisket, no need to worry. You’ll be fine.

Lord. BEST BRISKET EVER. Skip all the other BBQ in town when Junior is open! Also, his catering service is first rate.

Hands down the best BBQ we have had in a seriously long time! Hubby resists «food from a truck» but he will tell you straight up he was delighted!
We got the double meat plate and bought our friend a the pulled pork sandwich plate.
Hubby got double brisket and I got brisket and sausage. Junior gave us a sample chicken thigh/​leg to test.
Our friend said her pulled pork was outstanding! The brisket was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Right amounts of smokey taste and just plain mouth watering good. The sausage was spicy but excellent flavors! For the record his BBQ rub is just great .just the right amount so that the meat flavor is not swallowed up. The sauce is excellent as well! Perfect pairing. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor! I’m not a chicken person so that says a LOT!
The meal came with potato salad, beans and a roll.
The beans were so good! They had little pieces of sausage in there to add to the flavor.
The meal also came with a drink.
We got cherry cobblers which hit the spot!
A little pricey but not really for what you get. Certainly not more than other BBQ places! It’s also huge portions. I just chopped the leftover brisket and made sandwiches for three people! From just the leftovers! I STILL have leftovers!
Besides the deliciousness .this man is awesome! he is talented and so polite and nice !! His service was excellent! Midland is lucky to have this young man cooking up THE BEST BBQ ever!
I highly recommend you follow his website in case he comes to your area!!!

This BBQ is the best in town! We have ate at several events over the years where they catered the food and we have never been disappointed. The chicken, ribs and brisket are always cooked and seasoned just right! All the trimming are always delicious. We highly recommend using them for your next catering event!!!

My company uses them for catering to send out to the rigs. And now I get requests every week to bring more out. Some of the best brisket I have ever had and I’ve had barbecue all over the US. The potato salad is incredible. And from what I hear at thanksgiving their turkeys are absolutely amazing if you cater I highly recommend up in smoke

We had this catered at work about a week ago! It was very good! So much better than the Jason’s Deli or McCallister’s that is usually catered! If I need catering in the future for personal use I will probably hire them!
