About Us page header for Scratch BBQ & Catering, Flint, Michigan's top-rated BBQ restaurant and catering service for events, weddings, and parties.

ABOUT US

In 2014, we had the opportunity to cater a luncheon for our church. Wanting to provide a delicious and cost-effective option, we suggested pulled pork due to its low cost at the time. The event was a success, and we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from those in attendance.

Inspired by this experience, we decided to invest in our first smoker and begin offering our services to a wider audience. Starting with small events like open houses and family gatherings, we quickly gained a reputation for providing high-quality barbecue and delicious made from scratch sides.

Since then, our catering business has grown substantially, and we are grateful for the many opportunities we have had to serve at weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions. We are humbled by the support and trust our clients have placed in us, and we are dedicated to continuing to provide exceptional service and delicious food. We still continue to cater all events.
