Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Carson City BBQ is a 2019 award winner for catering companies in Nevada!

Make your event one to remember by relying on the experts at Carson City BBQ for all of your catering needs.

Carson City BBQ has received almost 50 reviews with an average rating of 4.86 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 96.55 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 catering companies in all of Nevada!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“They catered our wedding reception of about 70 people at Sand Harbor. Our guests loved the food! We even fed the park rangers, and they said it was their favorite caterer. They were easy to work with and provided plenty of food, and I would not hesitate to use them again.” – Jenni L.

Not Your Average Catering Company

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Phil Hyatt, co-owner of Carson City BBQ.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Phil about what makes Carson City BBQ unique compared to the many other catering companies in Nevada. Here’s what Phil had to say:

“We do all you can eat and cook fresh, on-site barbecue. Nobody else does that. Winning 80 awards for your cooking and being in business for 22 years with a spotless reputation doesn’t hurt either.”

Phil went on to add:

“We do all-you-can-eat and cook fresh, professional barbecue catering, so when we do our catering, it’s second to none. We do everything fresh that day. We don’t rewarm; we remake. I actually bring a cook or two to them and cook fresh right on-site, so it’s very unique. We make all our own sauces, rubs and marinades. We’re the bomb!”

We also asked Phil about the Carson City BBQ mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s his response:

“[Our mission is to] cook fresh and serve fresh; that’s our key.”

Building Success Through Next-Level Service

When we asked Phil about Carson City BBQ’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:

“Most of the time, people get done with our service and say, ‘Wow, that was awesome! I’m going to go give you great ratings on Yelp or wherever.’ And I hear that all the time. I don’t petition these people. They’re asking all the time, ‘Hey, how can I help?’, and they say they’re going to go do it.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Carson City BBQ has grown through word of mouth, and it doesn’t hurt that they’ve been in business for 22 years and serve approximately 3,000 people per week, either.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Phil’s expert advice for them:

“Communicate with your customers; find out what’s good; find out what’s bad, and accentuate the positive.”


Congratulations to Carson City BBQ for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Phil, for taking the time to speak with us!
