Jugs catered our wedding (300ish people), the service and food could not have been better. We had fried chicken tenders, green beans, scalloped potatoes, pulled pork and dinner donuts (apple butter biscuits) and it was amazing. Could not recommend them anymore. Thanks Jugs for taking care of us!

Best fried chicken and biscuits with apple butter. The only thing my family doesn't like about them is that they don't have a restaurant where we can get their food all the time!

Will never use them. Terrible customer service and lousy driving. They blocked traffic because they just had to be directly behind each other.

Did a " barbecue" for my job. PITIFUL, hamburgers wasn't done, hot dogs wasn't done, sitting in cold water. Didn't even take the Buns out the bag. Everybody touching all over them-TRASH!

This is the top catering place to call in central Indiana for your event, no matter how small or large they can handle it. The cater the Indy 500, Governor Pence, concerts, weddings, retirements, and all types of parties and events from small business luncheons to large corporate gatherings. They cook all the food on site, and have top notch highly trained chefs working for them.

They can serve your guests and entire hog freshly roasted, or a variety of fish, chicken, roast beef, BBQ, or anything you want they will accommodate you. They do the entire set up, break down, clean up, and more! The food taste great, and you get what you pay for. The prices are fair but on the upside. The entire staff is very professional staff. The whole pig and fried chicken are my favorites, but it's all great tasting!

Excellent! This is the 3rd year we've used Jugs for our church Christmas Dinner. Once again they were excellent. The food was outstanding, the service stellar, and EVERYONE was thrilled with the food. They were set up in plenty of time, kept the food fresh and hot, and were very accommodating throughout the event. Highly recommended! Thank you!

The food, presentation and staff who worked the SCCA Runoffs at Indianapolis Motor Speedway were amazing. Supplying lunch and dinner for 500-2000 people for 7 days must be exhausting! Your staff who interacted with the end users always had a smile on their faces! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Jug's did the catering for a welcome home brunch at my church on Sunday. There were 3 employees on site at 8:30 am. Food was prepared and ready to eat at 10:30. They were so cordial and accommodating. All the food was very flavorful. Kept the food hot and the buffet well stocked. Also the leftover food was transferred to disposable pans and people took it home. Great experience.

We just had our wedding yesterday and had a buffet along with a full bar service. The entree (grilled marinated chicken breast) was very dry but all the sides were great. The best part about the catering experience was the flexibility that the staff had along with the energy and politeness of the bartender! I've never experienced a wedding with a better bartender and we received so many compliments from all of our guests!

We have used Jug's for two different events now at Gospel Assembly Church on Bluff Road. Both times the quality of the food, level of service, and hospitality of the staff has been outstanding. We would highly recommend Jug's for any event needing hot, fresh, excellent quality food and exceptional service.

Biscuits. Apple Butter. These are clearly food groups in Indiana. It's not any experience at the track (IMS - Indianapolis Motor Speedway) without Jug's Catering. Everything is good. It's hard to go wrong, but I think I've found some favorites over the last several years through various events for the Indy 500 or local weddings.

I always start with my favorites, but really it just depends on my preference at the time. Roast Beef Breaded Catfish/Perch Fried Chicken Ribs Green Beans Macaroni and Cheese Mashed Potatoes with Gravy Coleslaw

Jugs did a GREAT job catering our daughter's wedding! The food was incredible and they handled the entire catering process. All we had to do was make decisions. They were so organized and professional and the food was hot and delicious! Choose Jug's for any catering you need because they are so reliable and true to their word!

I have had the pleasure of eating some of Jug's great food at a handful of family events. Most recently they handled my sister's wedding reception. The food is fresh, flavorful, and hot right when you need it. The rolls are to die for, and the comfort food is wonderful. The staff have always been friendly, helpful, and diligent. If you are in Indy and need something catered, these are the people you call.period. Keep up the great work Jugs!

Jug's Catering did all the catering for my high school's honor events for both athletics and academics. Their food is so astronomically good, it was the only reason I would go to what I called the "nerd conventions" and quite possibly the reason why I qualified to attend. Yes, I am saying that their food made me do better in school. Specifically, their fried biscuits and apple butter.

It must be the absolute best tasting thing on the planet to savor one of their warm deliciously crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside biscuits slathered in cool rich appley goodness. Truly Inspirational.
