Planning an event comes with a lot of moving parts, food shouldn’t be one of them. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often, especially for weddings and large events. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out and we’ll gladly help.
We’ve catered at many wedding venues across the North Houston area, including Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia, Montgomery, Plantersville, Brenham, College Station, and surrounding towns. We’re also a preferred caterer at a number of local venues, so there’s a good chance we already know your venue’s rules, layout, and flow.
If we haven’t worked at your venue yet, we’d love to. We’ll coordinate logistics in advance and can do a site visit before wedding day to meet the venue manager, confirm load-in details, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
Yes. We’re honored to be on preferred vendor lists at several venues, and we regularly cater at locations throughout North Houston, Brenham, College Station, Navasota, Madisonville, and nearby areas.
Yes, weddings are our specialty. Uncle Bob’s has been family-owned and operated since 2009, and we began specializing in wedding catering in 2015. Since then, we’ve catered hundreds of weddings and understand the unique pace of wedding-day timelines, venue rules, coordination, insurance requirements, and large guest counts.
Yes, tastings are available for full-service catering clients by appointment. Tastings are hosted at our Conroe location.
We cater across Conroe, The Woodlands, North & Central Houston, Katy & West Houston, plus areas like Brenham, College Station, Madisonville, and more.
If your venue is more than 50 miles from Uncle Bob’s, a travel fee may apply.
Yes, catering is available 7 days a week.
BBQ is our signature, but it’s not the only thing we do. Alongside slow-smoked favorites, we also offer “comfort food” and Italian-inspired options, great for couples who want our service style but prefer something beyond traditional BBQ.
Examples of non-BBQ entrées include:
Popular proteins include sliced brisket, chopped brisket, pulled pork, smoked sausage, and our signature Georgia Juice Chicken. Common sides include mashed potatoes (with bacon & green onions), brisket green beans, potato salad, BBQ pinto beans, and mac & cheese.
Yes. Our catering menu includes passed appetizers, beverage stations, and optional add-ons. (A few guest favorites include Berry Chipotle Meatballs, Chicken & Waffle Bites, and more.)
Yes. Let us know what your guests need, we’re happy to provide vegetarian, gluten-free, or other special meal options whenever possible.
Absolutely. We’ll start with a suggested menu and then customize based on your preferences, vision, dietary needs, and budget.
Yes. We specialize in elevated buffet service. For full-service events, we bring the buffet/service equipment, handle setup, serve the buffet, bus disposable dinnerware and cups (that we provide for contracted service), and manage trash during our contracted service time.
With our experienced team, we typically serve 150 guests in about 20-35 minutes, depending on menu choices and line setup.
You can choose what works best:
Yes. We bus disposable items included in our contracted service and manage trash (including taking it to the venue-provided dumpster) during our contracted time.
Yes, end-of-night bussing is available as an add-on. This keeps staff on-site to bus disposable food and barware/beverage items and continue trash management through the end of your event.
Yes. We offer china/flatware/glassware upgrades for an additional per-person fee. A common all-inclusive upgrade option starts at $5 per person for a plate, simple water goblet, and fork/knife set (with additional upgrade options available).
If you’re interested in a more complete table setting (or upgraded goblets/extra pieces), we can build that into your proposal.
Yes. Cake cutting is available as an add-on service. Our listed cake cutting service is $250 (guest counts over 300 inquire for pricing) and includes clear plates and forks, napkins, and our team cutting/serving the cake buffet-style.
Yes. We can provide to-go boxes (including a portion of cake and dinner). We recommend designating someone to make sure the to-go items get placed into your getaway vehicle.
Yes, beverage stations are available for full-service clients and can be added to your proposal (water, tea, lemonade, coffee options).
We provide ice for the services we’re contracted to provide (for example: water/tea stations and goblet service we’re handling). We do not provide ice for the bar.
After we gather your event details, we send a clear, transparent quote/proposal that breaks out food, appetizers (if selected), beverage stations, service fees, and gratuity. Your proposal is customizable so you can adjust the menu and service options to match your vision and budget.
For full-service catering, there is a food & beverage minimum of $1,500 (service fees, tax, gratuity, and service charges are not included in that minimum).
A 10% gratuity is added to all food and beverage items.
Yes. Wedding payment schedules are typically:
Yes, by request, we can set up extra payments. Keep in mind that payments are non-refundable, so we usually recommend leaving some balance toward the end in case your guest count changes.
Yes. We can provide venues with a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Please note: a COI is not event cancellation insurance, we always recommend couples consider event insurance for their own protection.
If the venue has a refrigerator and it’s approved/arranged in advance, we can package and store designated leftovers for the couple or family. Many venues do not allow food to be left behind due to next-day events, so we plan this ahead of time to match venue rules.
Some venues require extra setup considerations. A non-kitchen venue setup fee may apply depending on the location and logistics.
