The three-act show
Dinner is the entertainment
Nobody remembers a catering tray. The griddle goes where your people are, and the cooking is the reason they stop looking at their phones.
Fire-charred street corn
Sweet corn hits the flat-top until it blisters, then gets tossed with crema, lime and cotija right in front of everyone. This is the moment the party stops talking and starts watching.
Griddle-toasted Spanish rice
Rice toasted on the griddle until it smells like the whole backyard is a kitchen, finished with tomato, garlic and stock. Charred peppers and onions go on beside it.
Chicken & steak, seared to order
The main event: marinated chicken and steak hitting a screaming-hot flat-top, plated as fast as your people can hold out a tortilla. Add shrimp or mahi mahi if you want to upgrade.
Upgrade the protein
Chicken and steak are always included, at $60 a head. Add per guest: Shrimp +$6 or Mahi Mahi +$12. Mix and match — half the table can have shrimp.
Load up the toppings
Shredded cheese, Pickled jalapeños, Cilantro & onions, Cotija, Lime crema — $2 a person each, or take all five Fully Loaded for $8 a person. Guac, queso and salsa come in three sizes; all three at one size unlocks the Fiesta Spread discount.

How it works
Four steps, and two of them are ours
- 01
Check your date
First thing we do, before you build anything. We tell you straight away whether it's open.
- 02
Build your order
Guests, proteins, dips, toppings — priced live. If everything lines up you're confirmed on the spot and a $50 deposit holds it.
- 03
Tell us the final count
We text you a two-minute form. Your headcount locks 48 hours before you start, and the balance is due then too.
- 04
Open the back gate
Chef arrives 45 minutes early, cooks the show, and leaves with every bit of the mess.
The fine print, unhidden
Questions people actually ask
What does it cost to hold my date?
A $50 deposit holds it. The full balance is due 48 hours before your event — the same moment your headcount locks and we head to the store. NC sales tax (7.25%) is added at invoicing, and we show you every line before you pay anything.
What if I have to cancel?
Full refund up to 7 days before the event. Inside that, the $50 stays with us. Once your count locks 48 hours out the food is already bought, so there is no automatic refund after that — call us anyway, we are reasonable people.
When does my headcount lock?
48 hours before your start time, because that is when we shop. Changes after that are still fine — they just add a $50 change fee to cover the food we already bought.
How far will you drive?
The first 20 miles are on us, then $1 a mile. We are based in Matthews, NC and we happily leave the county — we love a road trip.
What do you need from me?
A level 10×10 area for the grill station, and a table for toppings if you have one. We cook rain or shine under our canopy; severe weather reschedules free.
Can you feed a big crowd?
Yes. Big parties get built by hand rather than by the booking form — tell us what you are planning and the owner will put it together with you personally.
Let's get you on the calendar
