I hired Franks Catering for my birthday party on 8/1/2026 and he did an amazing job! The food was delicious. My evening started with a cocktail hour and Franks Catering provided a Charcuterie table that was absolutely amazing and stunning! He served over 100 guests and the food was hot and the presentation was beautiful. My guests raved to me all night long about the delicious meal they were served. We had a very flavorful lemon chicken, a tritip with a mushroom sauce that was cooked to perfection, the beautiful fresh mix of grilled vegetables, and whipped mashed potatoes, it was started with a fresh strawberry summer salad with a delicious balsamic dressing and fresh warm rolls. The servers he brought in did not miss a beat. Then the dessert was delicious as well, was a chocolate cake or lemon cake that was presented beautifully. I can't thank Franks Catering enough! He made my party a huge success ! I highly recommend him for your next event! read more

Frank's BBQ & Catering was one of the best decisions we made for our 4th of July party! Frank was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. He was easy to communicate with, incredibly responsive, and made the entire planning process seamless and stress free. The food was outstanding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the appetizers, which were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The main dishes were cooked to perfection, packed with flavor, and there was plenty for everyone. The desserts were the perfect finishing touch and were just as impressive as everything else they served. We hosted a large party, and every guest raved about the quality of the food and the overall experience. Frank and his team delivered on every level with amazing food, professionalism, and exceptional service. If you're looking for a caterer who is reliable, talented, and truly cares about making your event a success, I can't recommend Frank's BBQ & Catering enough. We will absolutely be using them again! read more

Yeehaw! That was some delicious food. I had Franks cater an office meeting and everything was great. They packed up the food very nicely and they were very organized. Every plate was tightly wrapped and ready to go. They made things so easy for me. Everyone was pleased with their meal and I can't wait to order from them again. read more

If you are looking for some killer BBQ you need to stop by and have some Brisket and ribs or some of that pulled pork, awesome flavor and don't need any sauce, Hands down the BEST in the Inland Empire read more

Came in when they opened on Wednesday, family/staff were friendly and polite. They had smokers outside for bbq'n. We decided to split the works, came with brisket,ribs,chicken, and smoked sausage, along with 3 sides. We chose mac n chs, onion rings and bbq beans. The Mac n chs was well seasoned which you don't get that often, and not overly cheesy. Brisket was super tender and the ribs had a good smokiness to them. We were given and roll and cornbread. Service was good, food was good. Reasonable pricing for bbq. We'd be back again. Place is located across the street from upland high school. read more

My sister and I came here as we were in the area. We wanted BBQ and this place popped up. We came in and we were the only ones here, then others came about 30 mins later. It is a nice place location is in a very tiny strip mall and parking is also a bit limited. But the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice and quiet. Food was fantastic in my opinion and my sister loved it too. read more

One of the best ribs I have had. I would definitely recommend. The service is above and beyond. The restaurant is cute. The Mac and cheese is delicious too. I tried the pulled pork too, which was good. But the ribs were my favorite. read more

Stopped by Frank's BBQ in Upland, CA today and wow... my taste buds are still doing a happy dance! We had it all; brisket, pork ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and sausage (which was on the house) Everything was smoky, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of love goes into the food here. And let me just say... Frank, the owner, is awesome. Such a warm, welcoming guy who makes you feel right at home. If you're a BBQ lover, you need to put this place on your list. Trust me, you won't leave hungry! I completely forgot to take pictures of our plates the video I got was after we devoured everything! And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, Frank surprised us with a peach cobbler his wife makes on the house! Such a sweet touch and honestly one of the best I've ever had. read more

I don't normally review things but felt like I really should. Ordered the family pack for Mother's Day. I bbq plenty but my wife wanted something brought in for her and our moms. Ribs, tri tip, mac & cheese, coleslaw, beans and 2 hot links as well. Ribs were good. Coleslaw and beans were ok. Hot links were good. Tri tip wasn't even edible. Friendly enough when I picked up the food. But at the price paid, I couldn't believe how overdone the tri tip was. Extremely disappointed. read more

How did we not know about this place for so long?? My son & I had been craving bbq, but didn't know where to go. We just happened to drive by Franks BBQ in Upland, never realized there was a BBQ place there! I read the reviews on Yelp, the food looked legit, so we went the next day. I was a little nervous because no one was eating there and it was still early in the day. My son ordered the works and I ordered the brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese & beans. Ohh my gosh, the food is delicious! My son LOVED all his food, let me tell you he knows good BBQ. We were blown away that is how good the food was. The sweet waitress also let us know they had tamales for sale also. My son ordered a dozen before we left ( half chicken half pork). We had them for breakfast the next day with over easy eggs. The tamales were very good also. My son loved those also! I just don't know if people know about this place. We live in Ontario and never knew about this place. It's a shame because the food is the bomb! Legit good BBQ! My son told me he is already wanting to go back for some more BBQ!! We will be back real soon. Please check & support this place out if you like good BBQ. I love supporting small businesses,especially when they deserve it! read more

This was my 2nd time visiting Frank's BBQ. The 1st time we went, the resturant was pretty empty. The food was good, the service was good, & the time it took to get our food was good as well. I wish I could say the service was good for the 2nd time. I totally understand when a resturant is m ore crowded, that it would generally take a little longer to get our food, but this was absolutely ridiculous. I only ordered 2 brisket melt sandwiches with sides & I literally waited over an hour! I kept asking how much longer, but they truly didn't seem to care. I paid $46 which is not cheap, & I feel they should have offered some type of compensation, or at least a sincere apology for how long I waited. Not once did anyone come up to me to explain the issue. I literally had to keep walking up to the register to get someone's attention to ask why it was taking so long. And instead of an apology, they were bothered that I was asking! I was highly irritated & felt unseen. This needs to be addressed. Am I crazy, or was this so unprofessional & rude?!?! read more

Came in on a Thursday afternoon not real busy , had A Bbq sandwich combo (pulled pork) Mac n cheese n fries . The Mac has its own homemade taste which was good n the fries were average,kinda got soggy on me as I got home which is normal because it's wrapped and got steamed from the parchment n foil . The Sandwich is a Footlong sub with side of pickles and red onion. Overall it's not crazy overpriced I'd like to try something else off the menu. read more

I've heard a lot of glowing reviews about this place but our first and probably only experience left us disappointed. After coming in with the intention of dining in we changed our minds once we noticed the fact that there was no one inside dining on a Saturday at dinner time. We almost left completely but was assured by the worker that most of their business is take out and to give them a chance. We placed an order for what they call "The Works" for $45 with brisket, chicken, pulled pork and sausage along with 3 sides. It's also included a roll and a cornbread muffin. We were told this meal feeds 2 people. Here is where the problem begins, the meat portions were incredibly small. What was advertised as 1/4 chicken was an attached thigh and leg, but together these pieces were less than 5 inches long! The sausage was one piece sliced into 6 bites. The brisket and pulled pork portions didn't even fill a 3/4 cup measuring cup. The 4 meats total didn't cover the bottom of a standard 3 section take out container. The cornbread and roll were cold and dry. The only thing that shined were the sides. The mac and cheese, baked beans and cole slaw were very good. Looking at other pictures on these yelp reviews it seems that this is standard for their meat portions. If you want good bbq with the meat being the star not the side dishes then I suggest trying someplace else. read more

Frank's catered a wedding I attended and it was amazing. The salad was fresh and they made the dressing and it was delicious!! The rolls were so fluffy and good. The potatoes perfectly cooked. I didn't eat any of the pork or lamb but it looked and smelled amazing. They really took care of all of the guests. Showed up in perfect timing and did a great job. Would 100% hire them for an event. read more

This was different. I think they're in a shared kitchen setup but when they're there, it's theirs, if you know what I mean? Anyway, met a gf for lunch and grabbed a take-away for my +1 later. First: amazing waitress. She bakes the dessert offerings AND makes the lemonade and is the most humble, sweetest thing ever. Food was hearty, maybe not the best I've ever had. I liked seeing the BBQ pit through the window and the place was empty during our visit-- likely a blessing bc parking is limited. I'd revisit. And a big star to the staff (owner included!) for making us feel welcome. read more

Wow!! I just had a pulled pork sandwich and mac & cheese, and the baked beans for lunch :-) I like barbecue, but I absolutely loved this meal. When I saw the sandwich, I thought it looked a little bit on the smaller side, but it was packed full with delicious pork. The barbecue sauce and pickles and pickled onions on the side were a nice addition. I didn't bother to look at the yelp reviews before going, Now that I have eaten there, I can see why they have five stars! This place is absolutely phenomenal. I am just super sad that we live in Corona and not closer! Nice job Frank!! Wonderful BBQ! read more

Great food Great service The smoke on all their meat was perfect, not over powering but you could taste it in each bite. Pulled pork was not over cooked or dry it was spot on. Pork ribs were tender and the meat pulled away from the bone easily. The chicken had great flavor and was moist. The brisket had lots of flavor, moist with just a little but of fat. The BBQ sauce was good but you didn't need it. We had three sides Mac and cheese, beans and coleslaw all of them were great. Next time I am going to order 2 sides of Mac and cheese, so I can eat one with my meal and take home the second one. This has become our new BBQ restaurant. read more
