My husband and I booked Dino for our wedding because we absolutely love their food, and the price was solid to feed 100 guests. Throughout planning, Dino was inconsistent in communication - we talked with some staff who were wonderful, and some who didn't get back to us at all.
At our reception, Dino showed up later than agreed with the venue, leading to dinner being served half an hour late. The food was absolutely incredible and we got rave reviews from all our guests (best wedding food ever!). However, the staff gave me (the bride) the bill right in the middle of the reception, which felt incredibly unprofessional and jarring.
Overall, Dino offers fantastic food at a great price, but isn't really set up to be a formal wedding vendor. I wouldn't say to avoid them, but to know this going in that you get what you pay for!
Dino BBQ was the PERFECT catering company for our 250 plus outdoor wedding. We got the trifecta package and chose to have BBQ chicken, Ribs and Portobello mushrooms as well as mac and cheese, baked beans and cucumber tomato salad. With this menu, were were able to cater to our vegetarian guests as well without creating a separate menu. The Dino on-site BBQ pit came to our wedding location right on time and served all our guests in a timely order. We paid for trash removal so we had less to clean up at our DIY wedding, and it was only $100! So worth it. The catering manager was clear and responsive and awesome to work with and everyone raved about how delicious the food was. Also, our wedding wasn't casual, it was somewhat fancy and we were unsure if having BBQ and using disposable plates would take away from the ambiance, but it didn't at all. Everyone loved it!
We used the DIno BBQ Troy location to cater our wedding but I don't see a specific page for them so leaving this here. Our wedding food was SUCH a hit with our guests! We got sooo many compliments for having a fun BBQ menu that was delicious. We were already fans of dinosaur BBQ, so it was an easy sell for us, but we were pleasantly surprised at how professional and easy they were to work with. We didn't experience a single issue at any point, and we had tons of yummy leftovers to give to family and take home! Highly recommend these guys
We had Dinosaur cater our 80 person wedding in Cazenovia. The food was very good - we had brisket and bone-in chicken, salt potatoes, baked beans, and orzo salad. I added a chopped salad for an extra fee, as I felt the veggie options were lacking. Service wise, things were subpar. We only had two staff people, when three were scheduled. The catering manager told me there was a no show, but I feel that is not a valid excuse. They should have called someone else in. My wedding coordinator told me the two staff who were there seemed disorganized and unsure of how things should work. I expected more professionalism and trained staff for an event like this. They had a hard time keeping up with clearing and stacking dishes, too - no doubt because of the lack of a third person.
Overall, great brisket and chicken with okay sides, and mediocre service. Price per person ended up being about $24 and we had PLENTY left over.
My husband and I were disappointed with the quality of service provided, especially by the catering coordinators. We had this vendor cater for approximately 225 people. From the very beginning (after the security deposit was left), it was very difficult to schedule a tasting and waited over one month to receive a reply email. We were jumbled back and forth between the two coordinators, and had to work around their schedules more so than the other way around. We initially booked them because we love the food, but we had a lot of complaints about the chicken and the salmon was watery / almost slimy. When we were finally able to get in for our tasting (we both had to leave work early to accommodate the tasting time), we had to purchase our own wine from the bar while tasting in light of our anticipated 10k catering contract. My wedding coordinator tried many times to get into contact with them and was not successful, which ended up with the bride making frantic calls the day off to ensure they were on their way to the reception location. While the food may be good, quality of service right from the beginning felt unprofessional.
Delicious!
People will be talking about the food at your wedding for months to come. Dana was a pleasure to work with. My only warning-- we had SO much food left over. So go easy of passed apps, or light on dinner
Dinosaur BBQ catered our pre-wedding event with the most delicious dinner of ribs, wings and brisket. The dessert brownies were outstanding too! Dinosaur arrived on time, despite traveling all the way from Harlem to Brooklyn. We had plenty of food, plates, napkins and full bellies. Did I mention how awesome the food was? Thank you for sending such professional and polite staff to deliver our meal and make sure we were happily satisfied.
I had this restaurant cater my rehearsal dinner. The food was amazing and everyone loved it! The food was a great value.
