    Wedding rehearsal dinner

    High Cotton Barbeque was the perfect caterer for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding rehearsal dinner. They were quick to respond to questions and offered suggestions to help the event go smoothly. They were professional from start to finish and the food was delicious! I would use them again in a heartbeat!

    Amazing experience from start to finish

    We chose High Cotton based on reviews from other vendors and people who have travelled here. I was a bit nervous choosing food for my wedding without having tried it. But it ended up being exactly what I wanted, the highlight of the party! Thanks for always being so helpful through the process and making things easy to price and understand. Your service is top notch!

    High Cotton Barbeque's reply:

    We were so honored to be a part of your celebration! Thanks so much for the kind words - we wish you years & years of happiness and hope you'll come by to see us the next time you're on the Outer Banks! (P.S. Your wedding gown was absolutely gorgeous!)

    Rehearsal dinner experience

    Absolutely amazing, Sherry and Chad were beyond easy to deal with. A destination wedding is hard enough, but the expertise of high cotton BBQ made our experience delightful. We would highly recommend them for any celebratory occasion.

    Absolutely Delicious

    My daughter and her fiancé were planning a destination wedding and were not familiar with the caterers in the Outer Banks area. After reading numerous reviews, we selected High Cotton BBQ. They were an excellent choice and did not disappoint. Our heartfelt thanks to Sherry, Bob, and the entire catering staff at High Cotton BBQ for an unforgettable and memorable evening of fabulous food and service. From the start, the staff was responsive to everything we requested for our daughter’s wedding reception. Bob did a superb job of delivering and setting up the food. He demonstrated quality service and was extremely friendly and polite. The presentation of food was appealing to our guests. There are not enough words to describe the food. It was absolutely phenomenal. We received comments all evening from the guests. They could not stop raving about the awesome food. They especially enjoyed the BBQ sauce! There was no one favorite menu item because they enjoyed all of it. Thanks again to the entire staff for everything you did to make the reception a wonderful success. If you are looking for a superb caterer, look no further than High Cotton BBQ. They are a first class caterer. Guaranteed they will create a delicious menu your guests won’t soon forget.

    Trouble free reception food

    I've been eating at High Cotton BBQ for a few years so when my then bride to be suggested that we use their catering for the reception I was all in.
    We went with the delivery and set up since we had a reasonably small event.
    Since we were tied up with the ceremony when the food was delivered we had someone there to let the delivery person know where to set up. She told us what a joy it was to work with him and how smoothly it all went.
    Everyone that attended later commented on wonderful everything was. We even had some non meat eaters in the group that raved about all the sides we choose to have.
    If you are looking to have remarkable food at your wedding reception I would whole heartedly recommend you consider High Cotton.
    I know you will not be disappointed in the least.

    You'll want more!!

    Best food we ate all week! High cotton has a package that can serve any guest count. With High Cotton you get quantity and quality! We didn't have catering, however the staff was more than generous to accommodate us with tin pans, utensils, paper goods, tons of sauce, and more! They helped my mom load up in her car so she could bring the food to our reception on the Crystal Dawn Headboat in Manteo. The food was still hot! PERFECT for the occasion and a must have everytime we're in the area. Thank you High Cotton for your excellent service!

    Great, excellent, delicious

    High Cotton was a wonderful caterer for our daughter's rehearsal dinner. They were right on time, servers were polite and very helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to cater a BBQ and I will call upon them again if I host another event.

    Food was amazing and Service was perfect

    I would highly recommend High Cotton to anyone looking to cater any type of event or to just eat a meal at their restaurant. We planned an OBX wedding from out of town and Sherry was so helpful in the process with making sure the menu was exactly what we needed. We stopped by for lunch on vacation a month before the wedding which did nothing but guarantee we made the right choice. Food was great, everyone we interacted with had great customer service and Sherry even made sure she was there to meet us that day to make sure we had everything straight for the wedding. Highly recommend to anyone!! We love High Cotton and it will become a new staple for lunch/dinner on our vacations in the future.

    Lacie, it was such an honor to be a part of your celebration! Thank you so very much for your kind words. We wish you nothing but the best and we look forward to seeing you again when your travels bring you to Kitty Hawk!!!

    The best caterer, hands down

    Omg! Where do I even begin! They were beyond amazing and the woman who my husband, Casey, worked with was an absolute sweetheart. They were honest about what we did and didn’t need, were extremely affordable, they were beyond friendly, responsive, and just all around AWESOME. The food was amazing too!!! I’m still craving the pulled pork sandwich and Mac n cheese!!! Everyone complimented the service and food all night. People are still talking about how delicious everything was, lol!!! I’m so happy we chose High Cotton ❤️

    Absolutely Delicious and Professional

    When you think of BBQ and a roasted pig, you don’t exactly think high class, but High Cotton were as classy as you could get! They provided delicious food and the attendants were very accommodating to my guests: giving them certain pieces of the pig and also bussing tables. People could not stop talking about the Mac and cheese! Very delicious and I’m thankful for their professionalism.

    Best brisket on the beach!

    We were planning a laid back wedding on the beach in Corolla, and had to have Carolina style barbecue for the reception. Thru word of mouth, we came across High Cotton. Sherry was so easy to work with! She made suggestions for items and servings. We chose a menu of pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket, with all the sides. All of it was fantastic, but the brisket was outstanding! They delivered to the rental house, set up, and the food was hot and ready to go as soon as all the guests came in from the photo shoot on the beach. It could not get any easier! We had leftovers for a few days, which made for easy lunches. We loved their sauces so much that as soon as we got back home, I contacted Sherry and was able to order bottles of sauce for our own smoked pig creations. I would highly recommend High Cotton for your OBX wedding.

    High Cotton couldn't have been nicer to work with. We were on a short time line and had a hurricane threatening the OBX, but everything worked out great. They were so kind and efficient, highly recommend!

    Food for days! EVERYTHING was delicious, delivered on time, easy to order, easy to pay... Pulled pork and brisket sandwiches for everyone to take on their drive home the next day was the best. I didn't need to sweat over the small stuff and glad I hired a competent team to prepare and deliver our wedding dinner. We ordered for 35 people and it was a ton of delicious food to warm and enjoy for the next couple of days for the small group left over from the wedding. Do get the brisket, its well worth it!

    We hired High Cotton BBQ to cater our beach wedding. Sherry was so great to work with, she was responsive, extremely polite and very helpful! They handled all of the set-up and clean-up, it was so great not to have to think about any of that stuff. The food was delicious, and the Mac-n-Cheese was out of this world!!! I would recommend High Cotton for any special event catering.

    High cotton was beyond wonderful. At our tasting the owner sat down with us and chatted about North Carolina and gave advice on where to go fishing in OBX. We left with extra chicken and cole slaw because it was our favorite :) by the time the wedding rolled around Sherry had communicated the plan to us and was very on top of things. The food arrived at the perfect time and the extras were even put in the oven on low to keep warm. We had plenty of food and the price was more reasonable than anywhere else. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Beautiful experience for our families. We could only correspond by phone and email, couldn't taste test because we live a good distance from the Outer Banks. My sons wedding included 28 people originally, but we ended up with 3/. I was concerned about having enough for everyone, but actually had enough left overs to feed those people lunch the next day. Delishious!!!!!

    High Cotton BBQ catered for our wedding and they were a hit. Sherry, the catering manager, was great to work with. She was very responsive and helpful every step of the way. Our family members commented on how polite and helpful the catering staff was throughout the entire event. We had a lot of food left over because our guest list changed close to the event but their catering team packaged everything up and left all of the extra food there for us to keep. All night our guests kept telling us how great the food was. We would recommend High Cotton BBQ for any event and we are looking forward to stopping into their restaurant the next time we’re down in the Outer Banks.

    We looked at a number of caterers in the Outer Banks who could provide us a Carolina-style BBQ buffet for our wedding and High Cotton BBQ is by far the best there is. Sherry was so friendly and great to work with, and very responsive to our questions and concerns. She let us customize the menu to provide the exact items we wanted. The price per person was less than any other place we looked at, and the cost included a number of extras that other places charged more for. The staff that worked our event were very friendly and professional, and stayed as long as we needed them, cleaning everything up before they left including the leftovers. But most importantly, the food was delicious! Our guests could not stop talking about how great the food was, and we enjoyed the leftovers for days afterward. I would highly recommend High Cotton BBQ for your Outer Banks wedding!

    High Cotton BBQ catered my daughter's wedding reception at Corolla this past week. We had BBQ and the "fixings" for approximately 50 people. High Cotton was prompt, well organized, did a wonderful job of setting up and cleaning up. Last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests made several comments on the great food! Thanx High Cotton!
