Where to Order Super Bowl BBQ Catering in NYC

My friend Justin Williams and I visited Big Charlie's, the biggest Chiefs bar outside of Kansas City, this past weekend and are pumped for the Super Bowl.

As a big Kansas City Chiefs fan, I couldn’t be more excited that my hometown team is back in the Super Bowl this year. I watched the AFC Championship game against the Bengals at the biggest Chiefs bar outside of Kansas City, which ironically is located in Philadelphia. With the Chiefs playing the Eagles in the Super Bowl, I will most certainly not be returning to that bar for a little bit.

No matter who you are rooting for (both teams have been incredible this year), one thing I hope we can all agree on is that your watch party will be better with good food. One of the best options for your Super Bowl party is barbecue. No matter if you’re using smoked meats to make killer nachos or serving smoked wings, barbecue will make your party better.

Here are six NYC-area joints where you can order big BBQ packages for the Big Game.

A full rack of ribs from Bark Barbecue will be a Super Bowl crowd pleaser.

Bark Barbecue
Relatively new Brooklyn hotshot Bark Barbecue is now taking pre-orders for full racks of pork ribs, full racks of beef ribs, and whole Prime briskets. ORDER HERE.

The Alabama White Wings at Blue Smoke will be a hit.

Blue Smoke
Blue Smoke has some of the best-named and creative BBQ packages for the Super Bowl, with names like The Blitz, The Huddle, and The Touchdown. You could also order a ton of the joint’s amazing Alabama White Wings or Chipotle Wings to keep your guests happy. ORDER HERE.

Hill Country brisket can make your Super Bowl stand out.

Hill Country Barbecue Market
If you’re in need of good barbecue catering in Manhattan, Hill Country can always help. For the Super Bowl, Hill Country has specials, including jumbo smoked wings, build-your-own sliders, and build-your-own nachos. Notably, Hill County is a good place to watch the game as well. ORDER HERE.

Kimchi Smoke is offering a ton of unique bites for your Super Bowl party.

Kimchi Smoke
For New Jersey barbecue lovers, Kimchi Smoke is a great catering option for the big game. The restaurant has orders open for items like brisket, Korean BBQ ribs, smoked wings, mac and cheese, empanadas, and much more. ORDER HERE.

The wings (and everything else) from Morgan’s Brooklyn Barbecue will be a huge hit at your party.

Morgan’s Brooklyn Barbecue
In Brooklyn, an excellent choice for Super Bowl barbecue catering is Morgan’s Brooklyn Barbecue. The joint has a lot of creative items for your guests, including one of their newest packages called The Tex-Mex, which includes pineapple-glazed grilled wings, chicken nachos, and more. ORDER HERE. 

Pig Beach in Queens has a great selection of Super Bowl bites, but it’s also a fantastic place to watch the big game.

Pig Beach BBQ
On top of being an outstanding place to watch the game, Pig Beach BBQ in Queens is taking pre-orders for Super Bowl packages. They have two game-related packages that will get you BBQ staples, but be sure to add a few items from the catering menu, including both kinds of wings. ORDER HERE.

One more fun note: If you want to go to the only major Chiefs hotspot in New York to watch the game, John Brown BBQ in Queens is where to go. Space is limited, so you must get an entry ticket to get in the door. Be sure to get some burnt ends and ribs.

Have a great Super Bowl, everyone, and let’s go Chiefs!
