Hello, we're eric and carolyn walden

OWNERs OF: SOCO SMOKEHOUSE & CATERINg in whigham ga!!

SoCo Smokehouse Catering was officially established in January 2023, but our story started long before that. Cooking has always been a part of our lives from serving chicken perlo plates at local fundraisers to feeding our family at reunions and gatherings. What started as simple meals made with love quickly grew into something much bigger than we ever imagined. Today, we’re proud to serve our community through catering events of all sizes from small get-togethers to large weddings and chamber events. Every plate we serve is rooted in the same passion, tradition, and hard work that built this business from the ground up. At SoCo Smokehouse, it’s about more than just great barbecue. It’s about bringing people together, serving others, and being a part of the moments that matter most. What started as a dream became our reality faster than we ever expected, and we are beyond grateful. We want to thank every customer who has walked through our doors, every to-go order that has left our kitchen, and every team member who has worked alongside us. We truly couldn’t do this without you. Most importantly, we give all the glory to God because without Him, we don’t know where we would be.

If you’ve ever been through Whigham, then you know there’s not much here just few small town businesses!! It’s the kind of place people pass through without ever stopping!! But for me, it’s home, and it means everything. I grew up here, raised by my daddy, watching him work hard and serve others. Even back then, I could tell something was changing but I never imagined that one day, I’d be a part of that change myself. Our approach is about more than just cooking food it’s about building something lasting right here in our hometown. We don’t just want to cater events, we want to create a place people will come to. A restaurant that gives folks a reason to stop in Whigham, sit down, and feel at home. A place full of good food, good people, and strong community. Everything we do comes from where we started, and we’re proud to serve the town that raised us.
