Going all-American with your Fourth of July Catering in Houston is the only way to do it right! Sure, Italy may make the best pizza, and Japan may have the best Sushi, but in the U.S., we are the kings of barbeque.
And we know it too. Whether it’s a cookout in a parking lot or with Dad as the grill master in the backyard, it’s our specialty.
So, you won’t want to disappoint. The best way to guarantee happy guests is with BBQ catering in Houston. The pros will make that meat tender, delicious, and stress-free: no more burnt sausages, and you can enjoy it like the rest of the guests.
So, here’s our guide to celebrating the Fourth of July with a real barbeque:
Why Is Texas BBQ the Ultimate Fourth of July Catering Choice?
Brisket, Ribs, and Sausage for the Fourth
It’s the 4th of July. Your guests expect authentic all-American flavors. Don’t let them down!
Slow-smoked brisket, pork ribs that fall off the bone, and fiery Jalapeno sausages are the way to go. These are Texan classics and crowd pleasers for all ages!
Tex-Mex Stations That Keep the Party Moving
Parties should be lively. Get people on their feet, mingling, and moving about, with Tex-Mex stations where your guests can customize their tacos, get endless Guacamole dip, and keep loading and loading until they explode.
Menus That Scale from Backyard Gatherings to Block Parties
Who wants the stress of disappointed guests with empty mouths? Private events and Fourth of July Catering in Houston are a great way to be flexible about the number of guests you’re welcoming.
Whether you want a buffet, shared platters, or just a continuously live grill, you can adapt to last-minute changes to your backyard gathering or block party!
What to Serve at Your Fourth of July Catering Spread?
BBQ Centerpieces: Brisket, Ribs, and Smoked Turkey
Great meat is the essential centerpiece of any Independence Day catering.
Here at Goode Co. Catering & Events, we think your choice has to include brisket, ribs, and smoked turkey.
Brisket is a must for its slow-cooked, juicy tenderness, offering something most guests don’t get to enjoy every day. At Goode Co. Catering & Events, our brisket is slow-smoked over mesquite wood for up to 15 hours, yielding a truly American taste that is uniquely ours.
Don’t forget some homemade Jalapeno cheese bread to mop up the juice and BBQ sauce.
Tex-Mex Crowd-Pleasers: Fajita Bars and Taco Stations
Tex-Mex for small gatherings is always a crowd-pleaser, thanks to its hearty portions, comforting flavors, and customization options.
Letting guests customize their Tex-Mex tacos, enchiladas, or quesadillas with cheese, toppings, spicy, and chill is a great way to ensure everyone is comfortable.
We also recommend pairing your Tex-Mex with sides like Mexican Rice, Austin Baked Beans, and refried beans.
Sides, Desserts, and the Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie
Sides are what make it really feel like a feast. You can go wild here, with as many as you like. But we always recommend crowd-pleasers like potato salad, cole slaw, Jambalaya Texana, Jalapeño pinto beans, Mexican rice, and Refried beans.
Then comes the dessert, the fireworks of the food night.
With our BBQ catering in Houston, we always go Texan, with our famous Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie (voted the best Pecan Pie in the world by Bloomberg!).
If that’s not for you, consider our Chocolate Cream Pie, Margarita Pie, Pralines, or cookies.
