Grad Parties, Grilled On Site
Graduation Party Catering in DFW
We roll in with the grill, cook fresh through the whole party, and serve hot food in waves as guests arrive. You get to actually attend your kid's party.
Graduation Party Catering
Grad parties have a shape of their own. They are outdoors, the headcount runs high, the crowd spans grandparents to toddlers, and people show up across a two hour stretch instead of all at once. Trays of food set out early are cold by the time half the guests walk in. We grill on site, so burgers come off the grill hot for the guest who arrives first and for the one who arrives last.
You Host, We Cook
You should be taking photos and shaking hands, not standing over a grill for two hours. We handle the cooking, the serving and the cleanup of our station.
Served in Waves
Guests trickle in at a grad party. We cook to the flow of the crowd so the food stays hot instead of sitting in a chafing dish.
Built for Mixed Ages
Hamburger, cheeseburger, grilled chicken and a veggie burger are all included at the base price, so picky kids, hungry teenagers and grandparents are all covered.

Straight numbers, no guessing. Both packages include on-site grilling, a toasted bun and condiment station, your choice of two sides, and two hours of service. A 20% service charge and 8.25% sales tax apply on top.

Planning a Grad Party Headcount
Count the whole family, not the graduate's friends
Grad parties pull in parents, siblings, grandparents and neighbors. The list grows in the last two weeks.
Afternoon outdoors means bigger appetites
Most adults eat one to one and a half burgers. Kids eat about half that.
One station per 75 guests
At 150 guests we bring two stations so nobody waits in a long line for food.
Lock the date early
Graduation season books out fast. Two weeks is the minimum, earlier is better.
