Food & Drink

The Dog House Catering is a Fredericton BBQ operation that smokes brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken over wood and serves it from a food trailer and a full catering service. The owners call their style Acadian BBQ: Maritime ingredients, wood-fired smoke, and sides like New Brunswick baked beans and cornbread, with homemade sauces and locally made bread. The business started small, as a mobile cart selling sausages outside downtown clubs, then a stand at the Food Market at the Ex, before growing into the licensed trailer and catering outfit it is today. Aaron brings close to twenty years of commercial kitchen experience; Shannon runs the business side.

Catering is the core of the operation, covering weddings, corporate lunches, and private events. Smoked AAA brisket and pulled pork are the anchors, and they also do ribs, chicken, and fish for event menus. Google reviews average around 4.5 stars, and the same notes repeat: tender brisket, moist chicken, pulled pork people keep talking about after the event, and owners who are easy to deal with when planning.

Their base is on Smythe Street, and the trailer has set up at local spots including Maybee Brew Co on Wilsey Road, so check their site or social feeds for where it is parked before heading out. One practical tip: the website runs a loyalty rewards program and a monthly office lunch giveaway, and since online ordering was still listed as coming soon at last check, phone (506) 459-4100 for orders and catering quotes.
