Football is officially back and the season is never complete without the tailgating experience! The pre-game rituals, the lively atmosphere and excitement before a game, the camaraderie, the sense of community, and of course, the food.
BBQ has long been the heart and soul of a great tailgate party. Football fans set up their portable grills and soon, the aroma of sizzling meats and hearty meals sets the tone for a laid-back, communal vibe.

What to Serve at Your Tailgate Party
The key element of a tailgate experience is the food, which typically consists of causal and easy-to-eat dishes that are perfect for sharing. Here are a few classic and delicious ideas to add to your tailgate menu:
- Fall-Off-the-Bone BBQ ribs – Nothing embodies the spirit of BBQ like a rack of juicy, smoky, mouthwatering ribs.

- Grilled Classics – Keep it simple yet satisfying with burgers, Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, and smokey sausages with your favourite toppings on hand.
- Side Dishes – Elevate your side dishes with Rocky Mountain BBQ’s signature baked beans, a poutine bar, baked potato bar, creamy mac and cheese, vegetables in garlic butter, sauteed mushrooms and onions, green beans with bacon, and more.
- Desserts – An assorted platter of cupcakes, squares, and cookies is a fan-favourite at tailgating parties.
Post-Game Clean-Up
Tailgating is all about community, so being a considerate neighbour and respecting the space is part of the experience. Once the game is over, efficient packing helps ensure a smooth clean-up process. Leaving your spot clean not only shows respect for the venue but also sets a positive example for future tailgating events and ensures everyone has a great time.
Another benefit of opting for BBQ catering services at your tailgate party is that they handle the clean-up of the food and grill for you. At Rocky Mountain BBQ, our team takes care of packing away food and disposing of waste, allowing you to fully enjoy the event.
