We are so proud and blessed to get all of your great feedback!
Thank You! ~ Chris Mixson and Staff

 

Chris,

Thank you for your special touches to ensure this was our best ever oyster roast!
This was our 10th oyster roast & due to your staff & professionalism it was the first Ron was truly able to enjoy!
We have received many comments to include "....it was the season's most spectacular oyster roast!"
This comment came from a friend who actually attended 3 oyster roasts that night!!

The lighting was truly magical & added to the festivities.
Hope you are able to use some of the photos taken by my brother. I think he captured the essence of your very professional operation. From start to finish the event was totally professional! The cleanup crew was superb. There was no evidence in the yard that an oyster roast had taken place the evening before - loved it!
Looking forward to enlisting your help for our 11th oyster roast in December 2009.
Wishing you & your family a blessed & prosperous New Year,

Sandy & Ron Tucker

Chris,

Thanks so much for doing such a great job catering our high school reunion. I really appreciate all the work you did to help me get the menu just right. The BBQ sliders were awesome! We look forward to calling on you again for our next event.

Hey Chris,

We just wanted to let you know what a fabulous job you and your crew did at Carly's reception. Our guests are still raving about the food, especially the shrimp & grits and crab dip!! You helped make this day most memorable. You were truly a gem to work with ...always reachable and accommodating. Also, please thank Amanda for the exquisite décor...everything was perfect!

Sincerely,

Scott and Patsy Broome


Dear Chris,

Thank you for catering our Open House in October 2008. Having you and your staff there preparing and serving the fine fare that Smokey Chef is know for really made our event a success. We love your food and your style, I describe it as BBQ with white table cloths instead of checkered. Smokey Chef and the team provide great food with a great flare of style! Thank you for sharing our joy at this event. We look forward to working with you again!

Sincerely,

Chris,

You and your guys did a great job on the annual oyster roast. You kept the tables full and I heard only praises and no complaints from the two-hundred guests. They especially loved the ones you spiced-up in the steamer. Thanks for the great service and clean-up and we’ll do it again.

Chris,

Your Lowcountry Boil was awesome! You and your staff knew what you were doing and made our housewarming party a special one. It really let Kim and I enjoy ourselves and our guests. Thanks!

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a wonderful job you and the Smokey Chef crew performed this past Wednesday. Your BBQ was a hit with everyone! I cannot tell you how many people praised the Mac & Cheese and collard greens, not to mention the cream cheese brownies. It was a pleasure to deal with a professional and courteous crew. I will highly recommend you guys to anyone whom asks.

You and your staff made our son's First Communion Celebration first rate! From the Miniature Barbeque Sliders to the Lowcountry Eggrolls the food and service was fabulous. We will be sure to call you for our next celebration!

Chris,

I just wanted to say thanks for helping make the 2008 "Jasper On The Move" a huge success. The food was incredible, people are still talking about the fried shrimp!! We have actually received more compliments on this years event than any event in recent memory. It was a pleasure working with you on this event. I thought, the entire process went extremely smooth, everything from; scheduling, set up, food, service, to clean up was handled in a very professional, hassle free manner.
Thanks again and I look forward to doing business with you in the very near future.

Kind Regards

Chris,

Thanks for the Job you did for us at Amy’s birthday party, we were so pleased. I’ll tell you the truth, that’s the best BBQ I’ve ever had and your staff were so prompt and friendly. Many of our guests remarked that the food was delicious and we look forward to having you cater again for us in the future.

Chris,

We were absolutely thrilled with all aspects of Smokey Chef's catering of our son's rehearsal dinner: the food was outstanding; the presentation perfect, your staff friendly, courteous, and professional just for starters. Chris, you did everything we asked and gave honest and delicious suggestions and answers. The result was a wonderful evening for us and our guests. Everything you promised was well done from your prompt set-up to your neat clean-up of the best Lowcountry picnic we've ever eaten! Thank you.

Mike and Becky Pope, Hilton Head Island

 

Chris,

Thank you so much for making our birthday celebration so memorable. We have officially added a Smokey Chef catered event to our list of activities for our yearly vacation. The quality and authenticity of the food was only surpassed by the warmth and hospitality you brought with you to our home! My kids are still talking about your signature berries and biscuit cast iron skillet dessert. If you ever find yourself in the NY area, please let us know and we'll find something to celebrate for you to cook for!

Warm regards,

Peter Albano

 

Chris,

As chairman of the Beaufort Charities Golf Tournament, I want to thank you for the exceptional catering service you and your staff performed at Fripp Island. Compliments abounded from the crowd of almost 250 people. I'm sure I didn't hear all the compliments, due to the fact I was to busy licking my own fingers from the best ribs I've ever had. We will recommend you for other functions and please feel free to have potential clients call for endorsements. The food, presentation and your personal integrity were greatly appreciated.

…but most of all, thanks for the professional service at our reception.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for catering the Chamber After Hours for us. The entire experience was great. You gave us quality food and service at a very reasonable price. People said that our event was one of the best in the previous twelve months.

Deciding the menu was simple, your crew set up quickly and there was plenty of food despite the fact that we had a larger than expected crowd. Your crew also cleaned up well after the event was over. The seasoned steamed oysters were some of the best oysters we have eaten.

Coastal Contractors would recommend Smokey Chef to others. Please fell free to have potential clients call me.

Thank you,

Timothy L. Rentz

For our last three Grayco Building Center functions, we contacted Chris at Smokey Chef Catering. The food, service, and clean-up was outstanding! The Ribs were fall-off-the-bone, finger licking good; the chicken, so moist and flavorful and the collard greens and chipped pork topped off our menu! I can’t forget to mention the cream cheese brownies, delicious! We won’t think twice about calling on Chris at Smokey Chef for our next party.

Dianne Curry, Grayco Building Center
