The end-of-year bustle is about to begin: the list making, the party planning, the scheduling of family get-togethers.

It is the busiest time of the year. But this year, why not give yourself a break? Rather than trying to do it all, why not let Nooga-Q Smokehouse & Grille at least do the cooking?

From corporate parties to school events to holiday spreads at home, Nooga-Q caters it all, with service options that range from pick-up to drop-off to full service, complete with wait staff and cleanup.

“Our catering is much more reasonable than people might think,” said owner Tami Smith.

For example, pick-up options for parties of ten or more begin at $5.50 per person, and include choice of smoked meat, choice of two to three sides, bread, and all paper supplies and utensils. Full service, which includes delivery and wait staff, is available for parties between 50 to 500 people and starts at $8.50 per person.

In addition to its standard catering menu, Nooga-Q offers custom menus, featuring anything from spaghetti to meatloaf.

“Anything homemade,” said Tami.

Family is what the season is all about, after all. Why not make more time for yours this season?
