Mac and his crew showed up right on time, were incredibly professional, and came fully prepared with everything needed for catering. The food was fantastic and they kept the line moving smoothly all night. More people showed up than we had originally anticipated, and while I was getting nervous, Mac handled everything with total grace. He was prepared and made sure we were still able to feed everyone without any issues. I would highly recommend Hefty Boy BBQ Catering to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious caterer. And last but not least... the best pulled pork I have ever had. It literally melted in your mouth!

My partner and I shared the full rack of ribs with sauce- and trust me it's enough for 2 hungry people with the 2 sides! The ribs were juicy, tender, soft, melt in your mouth almost kind of vibe. Now, I'm not a coleslaw gal, but I ate this coleslaw as if it was my favorite salad. I ate the coleslaw more than the macaroni salad! (which is a first) lol. Okay the Colossal onion rings and the cornbread with the butter.. bless your soul for it has woken from all the souls of food. HAHA! Service was quick and the lady server was kind enough to take pictures of our group table! There's a reason why I gave this place a 5/5- I could have given it a high 6/5 but you get it.

I believe they give you the option of coleslaw or fries if you get a combo.

Love, love, love the seasonings used on the chicken. I must admit I'm addicted to the chicken! The owner John and his wife Doreena are awesome and very friendly which makes all the difference and you do look forward to coming back.

Sausage was also very good. Juicy, a little bit of spice and smokey. Chicken was also very good. Bone-in chicken thighs with a good but not overwhelming char. Retained much if its moisture. Pulled pork was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad but overshadowed by the other phenomenal items. Sauce was good. Too full to eat the sides so I can't comment on that. Amazing food. Great value. Big fan.

Plates, utensils, and boxes for you to grab and go. The margarita pizza was so good. Came out hot and ready and wasn't too oily. The street corn was good.

Beautiful, hilarious, cool without trying, and somehow always wearing the most fire shoes in the building.

This is an extremely family friendly restaurant. Inside seating for those who don't have kids, but…read moreoutside is prime. I would say the kids are a bit younger, maybe 18 months to 3. There must have been at least a dozen kids or more. I told my 7 year old son not to bring balls but of course other kids did. If you park in the back there is no doubt your car will get hit. But it's softballs, not baseballs. Service is legit. Fast, friendly. They're like get in, order, get out. But we stayed for probably an hour and a half. The live music was great, not too loud. I am sad to confess the food here is not as legit as I figured based on being a San Diego local and a big DDD watcher. It probably depends on which day you come, but on Thursday, the brisket was so average. Del's in Del Cerro is better. Smoky and the Brisket is better. I had my brisket served with that nacho cheese and relish, not nearly as great as I thought it would be based on DDD. I also don't drink anymore, but if I were to have had 2-3 beers + this dinner + the enviornment I would have loved it. My son gave a huge thumbs up to his burger, daughter liked her food. If you want an experience, have time you need to kill and have kids, it's a solid spot, but in no way is this a destination if you live west of the 15. Stick to classic spots.
