They have outstanding food, cold beer, excellent service and are hosting this event for a good cause. If you get a chance stop there.

As many of you know over the weekend our community's lost 2 amazing young people in tragic accidents. We are beyond heartbroken ....We want to do something to help both family's with a monetary donation.

With that being said This Sunday is our last Sunday Funday of the season at PrairieMoon. We have Beau Timmerman Music 🎶 on The Patio from 2-5!
We will be donating 20% of all of our daily sales to The family's of Dalton Camp and Cynthanee Heeren.

Please stop out anytime between 11:30 & 6 to grab some food, have a drink, listen to music or all of the above.

See you in Prairieburg! 🚗

10" plates are almost 20% bigger than 9" plates. This offers alot of real estate to take more food than you probably want. We dont advise using 10" plates, however we do what our clients ask us too. You can easily pile 3 pounds of food on a 9 inch plate, although we dont advise that either :) We do cloasly monitor and observe wedding guests behavior with our food, this way we can give sound advice. One thing that stands out more than other when it comes to 10" plates, is the amount of food that is wasted and thrown in the trash. It is a human instinct to fill the plate.

When you choose 2 meats, your guests do not look at the meats as a CHOICE, they look at them as a VARIETY. 2 Meats is the most common meal, and we offer the option of adding pounds of meat. We do try to give advice to our clients, however, if you run out because everyone is taking both, and you didnt plan for that, and ignored our advice, then you ran out because you didnt order enough, not because we didnt bring you enough. So far we havent had an issue, but many times its because the number you told us, didnt all show up. Perhaps you planned it that way? At least a dozen times this year, clients who did not order extra meat, would have ran out, if all their guests had shown up. Please order wisely. We aren’t making money selling you extra meat by the pound, we do it because you are our client, and we want everyone to rant about your meal.

*****Sold out****

We have a limited number of bundles. 1 bundle includes 1 # pork, 1 # cheesy potatoes, and 1 # pit beans. 1 bundle of all 3 is $12.00.

you must have confirmation that we are confirming your order, and you must make arrangements on the hand off of your order, for undisclosed reasons, we wont share on the page :).

these orders will be available after 1 pm today. suggested to eat by the weekend or freeze. they are about 1 1/2 minute reheat per bag. this is a cheaper meal than any drive though, lol.

This post isnt specific to any wedding weve done.

Look at these meats, these are our 4 popular meats. Each is equally popular. Any combination of 2 is dangerous in a good way if you dont plan accordingly.

If you run out, its not because we didnt bring enough, its because you didnt order enough.

First, there is no way to police your guests. We have seen clients unsuccessfully try. Most by signs saying take 1 meat only that DO NOT work.

Wedding guest are not considerate to those behind them. This is because they simply do not understand that this isnt all you can eat.

Again look at the meats. Now put yourself in a situation of real life and the smell. Would you take 2? Of course, you will. When you take 2, you tske someone elses. This is because we bring what you tell us to bring.

This is why we extensively work with you and provide you options. 1) pad your numbers, generally 15 percent is sufficienct. Or 2) order extra meat. This is a more cost effective option. Purchasing meat by the pound doesnt leave you with left overs of all of the sides and if you habe leftover meat, quite frankly your buying it from us for cheaper than you can get it in the store, it aside from parmesan chicken, it freezes, in the event yoy got too much.

Lets say you have 300 ppl at your event and have a 12.00 plate. 15% padding is 45 extra plates or 540.00. You most likely going to have alot of extra side dishes. Instead you could buy 10 extra pounds of brisket and 10 extra pounds of pork for 200.00 and thats going to allow 60 ppl to double the amount of meat they can take.

We gladly offer our advice, were not trying to sell you extra product, its actually more work for us. Even though its your fault if you run out, its a reflection on us.

3 meats is a recipe for disaster, however is is manageable if you take our advice.

Hope this info helps, we have never ran out of meat, there have been some close calls and we have had some clients mothers who thought they knew more than we did about catering (they didnt end up with the amount of leftovers they wanted for the next day, when they gauranteed us no one would take 2 meats because they had a sign ... stacy counted. 190 out of 225 didnt read the sign lol)
