Event Planning

Ronnie's BBQ brings the tradition of genuine hickory-smoked barbecue directly to your event, offering a full-service catering experience built around slow-cooked meats and time-honored techniques. Every cut of meat spends hours in the smoker, absorbing the rich, aromatic flavor of real hickory wood until it reaches a tender, fall-apart finish. This dedication to the smoking process sets the food apart from typical backyard grilling or oven-cooked alternatives. Guests at any gathering will recognize the difference the moment they taste the deep, smoky profile that defines the menu. Whether the occasion calls for ribs, pulled pork, or other smoked specialties, the catering team ensures each item arrives fresh and ready to serve, allowing hosts to relax and enjoy the company of their guests without worrying about the cooking.

Beyond the smoked meats, the catering menu includes a selection of freshly prepared side dishes designed to complement the barbecue experience. These sides are made in small batches using quality ingredients, ensuring they taste as good as the main course. From tangy and creamy options to lighter, vegetable-based offerings, the sides add balance and variety to any meal spread. The combination of smoky meats and well-crafted sides creates a plate that feels complete and satisfying. Guests often find themselves returning for seconds, drawn by the way each flavor works together. This attention to the full meal experience reflects the same pride and care that goes into every item served at the restaurant.

Event planning assistance is a key part of the catering service, helping hosts coordinate every detail from menu selection to delivery and setup. The team works closely with clients to understand the size and nature of their gathering, offering guidance on portion quantities and serving styles that best suit the occasion. Whether the event is an intimate family reunion, a large corporate function, or a festive outdoor celebration, the goal remains the same: seamless, professional service that lets the host focus on their guests. The catering staff handles the logistics so that the food arrives on time and is presented attractively, making the entire process straightforward and stress-free from start to finish.

What truly sets this catering apart is the atmosphere it brings along with the food. The unmistakable aroma of hickory smoke wafting through the air creates an instant sense of occasion, drawing people together around the shared experience of great barbecue. There is something about outdoor cooking done right that transforms a simple meal into a memorable event. The same pride in craftsmanship that defines the restaurant carries over into every catered gathering, with meats that are cooked low and slow until they reach their peak. Guests leave not just full, but impressed by the quality and care that went into every bite, making the event one they will talk about long after it ends.

What We Bring to the Table

Every catering order features Ronnie's signature homemade dry rub and BBQ sauce. Choose from items off the smoker — ribs, pulled pork, chicken — or selections from the grill, plus our popular wings with ZING! Combo meals and a variety of fresh sides round out a spread that suits any occasion.

We serve the Henrico and greater Richmond area from our location at 2097 New Market Rd. Our catering team works with you to build a menu that fits your event size, style, and budget.
