Crimson Creek Smokehouse: Experience Exceptional BBQ and Catering in Dripping Springs, TX

Crimson Creek catered our wedding in Dripping Springs, and let me tell you just how AMAZING Jamie and her team are! First off, we wanted good food! There is nothing worse than going to a wedding with bad food, and we wanted to make sure our guests didn’t leave hungry. To this day, we still get compliments about how incredible our wedding food was—from the BBQ meats (the pork butt ends are literally the best!) to the mac and cheese to the pickles. It was phenomenal! Second, our next biggest concern was cost, and Jamie came in with the most reasonable budget out of all the caterers we spoke to in the area. She laid everything out for us and explained all the details clearly. Third, they had VEGGIE OPTIONS! A lot of the BBQ places we spoke to didn’t offer many veggie options or salads, and we really wanted to make sure all our guests could enjoy dinner. Jamie made it easy by providing great alternatives that even our meat-loving friends enjoyed. Fourth, Jamie and her staff were SO professional, great to work with, and went above and beyond with setup and cleanup. Our other wedding vendors had nothing but amazing things to say about them, and I’d hire them again in a heartbeat if I had to do it all over again. Fifth, everyone left full, AND we had leftovers! The Crimson Creek team packed everything up for us so we could snack on it after the wedding and in the days that followed—which we LOVED. We can’t thank Jamie and the Crimson Creek team enough for their incredible catering, and we love that we can visit their brick-and-mortar location to relive our wedding dinner anytime we're in the area!

Recently ate the tomahawk and all I can say is wow! That is the best thing I ate all summer. Thank you Jamie and Marcus for your hospitality and serving a beautifully cooked steak! Can’t wait to visit to try other items! Make sure you order 24hrs ahead!

Crimson Creek catered a rehearsal dinner at Deep Eddy for 100 people. Food and service outstanding. Guests raved about the 3 meats, sides, queso and poppers. Owner Jamie was on site all night leading the service. Could not have been easier to work with from planning to execution. Great food. Great people. Bonus breakfast tacos delivered to wedding hotels early Sunday-huge hit for departing guests.

Attended the “smoke em if you got em” class hosted by Marcus from Crimson Creek at Deep Eddy Tasting Room. Marcus is simply amazing. Our smoked ribeyes were the BEST steak I have ever had.

Oh lord!!! I’ll tell you what!! The Tomahawk Steak from Crimson Smokehouse is one of the best I’ve ever had!!! It is a massive stake for more than one person but you can do it if you love steak like I do!! The atmosphere is amazing and just so much fun!! Jamie, Marcus , and Little Smoke are just amazing and so friendly!! Just call 24 hours ahead of time to get your name on one of these monsters!!

Their food truck was out front at the Deep Eddy Vodka Distillery. We ordered a flight of vodka and desperately needed some food. We used their QR code at the Deep Eddy Distillery and within 10 mins we had our food. We ordered the chips and queso with shredded beef brisket. The chips were fresh and crispy tasting, an 8.5/10.. The best part was the queso. Instead of meat being sprinkled on top like most other places, it was full of beef brisket.

My Husband and I are all about looking for the most delicious, unique and standout food…especially when you eat and love as much food as we do! We had seen Crimson Creek Smoke house on IG for quite sometime and what caught our eye about them was their Smoked 3lb Tomahawk Steak. You don’t often see a tomahawk that big, let alone smoked for at least 5 hours! Because they smoke it, you do have to order it a minimum 24 hours in advanced so that they can prep this baby for your arrival! We had been messaging with one of the super amazing owners, Jamie, who wanted to ensure that we had the best experience possible when we arrived! They are located in a food truck area, but have outfitted the outside with picnic tables, televisions, lights, paper towels, a hand washing station and everything you need to be able to enjoy some fresh bbq right on sight! The pit master Marcus, ensured that the steak was ready and smoked perfectly on our arrival so that he could sear it on the grill and finish it right in front of us to watch it in action, which was so cool! Wow…most steak houses when they talk about meat pounds it’s usually the uncooked weight they are talking about, but this thing was a good 3 plus pounds cooked!! He makes his own seasoning rub that really enhanced the natural flavor of the meat and complimented the wonderful smoke flavor. This beast was perfectly cooked and so juicy, plus it had the perfect thickness giving it an incredible seasoning to meat flavor ratio! We also got their pork belly burnt ends… WOW!!! They legit squirted and melted in your mouth! Probably some of the best we’ve ever had in all our food experiences! Their rib tips were flavor and juicy. The bowls had the perfect flavor pairings of different meats and side items, plus were also massive! Even the Mac n cheese was unique and had more of a “Texas queso” cheese twist flavoring that was delicious! They had mini pies for dessert cause you know always have a dessert stomach! We LOVED the margarita pie! It was like a key lime pie with a hit of salt and margarita twist! Do yourself a favor and take a trip to Crimson! Be sure to place your order at least 24 hours in advanced for the Smoked Tomahawk and bring friends to share it with cause you are going to be mind blown and want to order the whole damn menu! Seriously delicious BBQ and Incredible owners and staff behind it!

I received some jalapeño cheddar sausage as a gift from relatives in Austin. It had fantastic favor and just the right amount of heat. The next time I’m in TX a stop at Crimson Creek Smokehouse will be at the top of the must do list.
