About Smackey's Catering & Food Services

Smackey's Catering & Food Services is a chef-driven culinary company built on Southern heritage, professional discipline, and elevated execution. What began in rural Arkansas — learning to grill beside his father and mastering traditional Southern dishes from his mother — has evolved into a trusted catering and private chef brand serving corporate clients, medical institutions, government agencies, and private events.

Charcuterie

Built on Credibility. Backed by Professionals.

Smackey's now provides:

  • Corporate catering

  • Government and institutional food services

  • Hospital partnerships

  • Disability association programs

  • Funeral repasses

  • Wedding and private event catering

  • Private chef experiences nationwide

This is not pop-up catering. This is structured, contract-driven, professional food service executed with precision.

A Culinary Utility Knife

While the brand began as Smackey's BBQ, the evolution reflects something broader. Chef Chad describes himself as "a utility knife in the culinary world." There are no limits — only opportunities to execute at a higher level.

From refined plated dinners to large-scale corporate service, Smackey's adapts seamlessly. Elevated Southern cuisine remains the foundation, but versatility defines the experience.

The result is catering that feels polished, intentional, and confident — never casual or gimmicky.

About Chad Mackey

From an early age, Chef Chad understood that food carries responsibility. It represents care, consistency, and pride. That foundation still defines every meal prepared under the Smackey's name.

Today, the brand stands as a modern culinary services company — not confined to barbecue, but rooted in tradition and refined for today's events and institutions.
