Pulled Pork

Our delicious pulled pork is slow smoked with simple ingredients to fall apart for the perfect sandwich. Cover it with our unique tangy southern BBQ sauce. Try it in a sandwich or open face on white bread.

Chopped Beef Brisket

Slow smoked 12 hours and seasoned with our signature blend, chopped and served open face on Texas toast.

Pulled Beef

Our smoked beef sandwich is a fan favorite, slow cooked for 14 hours for maximum tenderness and flavor. The pulled beef is piled high on a bun open faced sandwich and drizzled with our signature barbecue sauce for the perfect balance of smoky and savory.

Sides

Experience a burst of flavor with our smoked savory side dishes like our famous corn pudding, or creamy smoked Mac and cheese.

I had them cater an event for about 150 people from all over the country and every one absolutely loved the dinner! Communication was quick and easy, he was willing to accommodate my requests, and delivered/ set-up the food so it was hot and fresh at the event. I absolutely recommend!

They braved some rainy weather and had everything set up perfectly. We would absolutely use them again in the future.

  Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HI5 catered a day of remembrance for a family member today at a park picnic. They brought ribs, pulled pork, brisket, mac & cheese, salad, and banana pudding - enough for 100 people. Everyone raved about the taste and quality of the food, and they all asked where we got the food from. HI5 brought all of the utensils, plates, napkins, and serving utensils needed to make this simple. Thank you so much for the outstanding experience today!

  Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Hi5 BBQ to cater a meal during a work meeting. Rick was quick to respond to emails and very helpful as I was trying to accommodate some special diets. Rick and Julie were punctual and put on a beautiful, plentiful spread for my guests. The food was hot and delicious! I would highly recommend Hi5 and plan to use them again. Hi5 gets a high five from me!

Pork Spare Ribs

At HI 5 BBQ, we take pride in our smoked pork spare ribs. Coated with our signature rub, slow smoked and finished with a honey glaze…there’s no reason to sauce these fall off the bone ribs.

Beef Short Ribs

Slow smoked beef short ribs…dino bones…pot roast on a stick. The ultimate BBQ favorite…2lbs of beef that falls off the bone. Your guests will talk about this forever!

Corn Pudding

Savor the perfect blend of smoky and creamy with our Smoked Corn Pudding side dish. Our signature dish features sweet corn, slow-cooked and blended to perfection. The perfect addition to any barbecue platter.

Side Dishes

**Savor the smoky goodness of our creamy Mac & Cheese — slow-cooked to perfection in our wood-fired smoker.**🔥🧀
Rich, cheesy, and loaded with bold, smoky flavor — it’s more than just a side… it’s a meal on its own.
