Catering and In- House Banquet Services

Whether you're feeding 50 or 500, Dowd's has you covered. We have the tools and skills to make your next big event a memorable one... Want a perfect fish fry at your location, without the mess and hassle? Let Brian and John bring the Mobile Fry Trailer to your place. We fry the fish on site, so it's fresh, hot and delicious. Combine that with the sides of your choice, and of course all the condiments and serving ware, and you have the makings for the best fish fry around.

If Fried Catfish isn't right for your event, we have a large selection of Barbeque entrées that we cater just as well. Anything from Thick Sliced Smoked Brisket, Hickory Smoked Chicken Quarters, and Slabs of Smoked Spare ribs, to BBQ Pork Sandwiches, Smoked Pork tenderloin, Polish Sausages and Hot links. Combine these with Baked Beans, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, or any number of our 15 different side dishes and you can't lose.
