We found the BBQ Boys Catering on yelp and what a great find. We hired them for a private anniversary party. They were really easy to work with from the contract phase to onsite. Everything was really organized and they were very professional. They answered all of my mom's questions about their service and were very patient. The day of the party they arrived on time and were very nice. The food was amazing and everyone raved about how good it was. We had the ribs and chicken. The chicken was so moist and the ribs were excellent. We had a guest who needed to leave early before we were officially serving and they made her a plate before she left without her even having to ask for it. They were so thoughtful. My mom, who the party was for, has a special dietary restriction which makes BBQ a challenge for her to eat at times. They did a great job accommodating her needs so she could enjoy the food without any issues. They cleaned everything up so well afterwards that you would not have even known they were there cooking onsite. The next day the office called to see how the party went. Great follow up from them as well. read more

Excellent!! We had catering at work today!! Heaven!!! Everything was perfect from start to finish!! Best bbq I ever had!! read more

The BBQ Boys Catering - Caterers Near Me - Campbell, California

We were served food from the BBQ Boys at a birthday party. Menu included: Fresh tossed salad - this wasn't bad. Southern Peanut Coleslaw - Didn't have this so I can't comment on it. BBQ Chicken Breast with their special sauce - Chicken was ok but as I was cutting it up for the Kid, I noticed that the closer you get to the bone, the bloodier that piece of chicken was. It was like that on all of ours! Really, if you can't grill chicken right, then you should think about serving thinner portions. I'm knocking off a star for the attempted food poisoning. Grilled corn niblets - this was delish! The corn was tossed with bell peppers and onions. Way better than corn on a cob! Grilled tri tip - Tri tip was done right (thankfully!). Nice and tender. As an aside, I'm not bowled over with their "special" sauce. Nothing special there. Chili - Didn't eat it but DH said it was on the spicy side. Garlic Bread - God they must have done this the day before cuz all the pieces came out rock hard! I've had better garlic bread at italian restaurants. They also served veggie burgers but for some reason, those were not left out with the other food. Go figure. Overall it's not bad but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. read more

The BBQ Boys catered our company picnic last month and the group could not have been more happy with their services! Throughout the planning process, their staff was helpful and professional; very patient and willing to offer substitutions to fit our budget. On the day of the picnic, they were the first vendor to arrive and immediately kicked it into high gear by setting up their grill and prepping our meal - definitely a conversation starter for attendees! When it looked like guest flow was stagnating and not everyone had arrived when food service should have begun, Robert offered to hold off on cooking the meat we had selected until we were better prepared. I appreciated his foresight and really commend his attention to detail as I think really any other caterer cooking on-site might have just done what was best for their team without potentially considering the needs of the hosts. The food was delicious and everyone loved the barbecue, but the surprising star of the meal was the watermelon! Guests raved about it long after the event was over and I still hear the odd comment about how great it was to this day. Everything they offered us was of superior quality and I plan to highly recommend The BBQ Boys and their group of awesome staff to anyone I know who may be searching for a caterer for an event. read more

I really enjoyed working with The BBQ Boys! Not only was the food AMAZING, the staff was friendly and everything from communication to food service went smoothly and professionally. The BBQ Boys team arrived at the promised time and served food at our specified time. At the end they packed all the leftovers away for us and left the area as clean as they had found it. We ordered the tri-tip and chicken and I have to say, I have never had a more flavorful, tender barbecue experience- my guests are still raving about the food! I would definitely hire them again! read more

My employer uses this catering company annually. The food is pretty good for the most part, and the service is typically courteous. My company orders Santa Maria tri-tip sirloin, BBQ chicken breasts (not sure which or their two types), and mesquite grilled garden burgers. I've only had the tri-tip, which is so-so. Not particularly tender or moist, but flavorful enough. Mixed in with the tri-tip are strips of bell pepper and onion. (In previous years, we've had a different tri-tip, slathered in BBQ sauce. About the same in terms of quality.) Portion size is somewhat disappointing... two to four slices of tri-tip, or one smallish chicken breast, or one vegetarian burger. A self-serve buffet line would change my tune on this. For sides, my company orders peanut cole slaw (meh), green salad with croutons and Ranch dressing (so-so), potato salad (meh), yellow corn niblets (so-so), baked beans (fantastic), garlic bread (good), and fresh sliced watermelon/cantaloupe/honeydew (good). The baked beans are kind of a tangy sweet... there's actually diced apple in the baked beans. Beautifully done, easily outshining the other sides and the mediocre tri-tip. At least the sides are self-serve, so I can load up to compensate for the small meat portions. More baked beans? Don't mind if I do. The prices listed on the website menu aren't terrible (about $20 per person, maybe more with sides?). Still, for $20, I think you could give me more than four slices of tri-tip. Or let me have more than one can of soda. Please? read more

BBQ Boys catered my wedding. I still get compliments on the food at my wedding... a year later! The food and the photo booth were my guests favorite things. They were really organized and dealt with me with patience. I made changes to the menu and rental equipment along the way and the rolled with it. I loved that they offered rental equipment (linens, place settings, chairs, tables, etc etc). It made one less stop and vendor for me. The BBQ Boys bbqed everything fresh on location and my guests loved that. The sides were delicious and nothing was low quality. Next time I need a caterer there's no question I'll use the BBQ Boys. I know my recommendations of the BBQ Boys have been used by friends and others are looking for an excuse the eat their tasty food again! read more

BBQ Boys catered our wedding for us this past May, and they were AMAZING! When planing for our wedding I had initially found another bbq caterer and thought I was all set. However when we did the tasting with the other caterer we were so disappointing with the quality of the food that we knew we had to look elsewhere. This is when I found BBQ Boys. As soon as I contacted BBQ Boys they scheduled for my husband and I to come do a tasting within the week. We were blown away by the quality of the food! The whole time we were planning the wedding we had planned on having tri tip as the main dish. BBQ Boys Tri Tip is great, but their bbq chicken is AMAZING. We were very impressed with the taste and quality of the side dishes as well. Another thing that I was really impressed with BBQ Boys is that for the same price as everywhere else I had looked, they included 2x the side dishes (I think it was 5 side dishes). So now that we had found a caterer that we liked, it was time to discuss what we wanted for our wedding. I was very impressed that rather than just having me call the office and tell them what we wanted, the owner schedule a time to meet with me and get all the details himself. On the day of our wedding, BBQ Boys were great! The food not only was as amazing as we remembered, but the presentation was beautiful. BBQ Boys did not give me one reason to stress on my big day. We had a cousin and a family friend both get married within a few weeks of our wedding; and people from both weddings came to us and said how much better the food we had at our wedding was. Even the mother of the bride from one of the wedding said how much better BBQ Boys was than the caterer they used. If you are looking for a great caterer with amazing food and outstanding service, BBQ Boys is definitely someone you should call. read more

BBQ Boys catered a delicious BBQ lunch for a special announcement & event at my company. Their team was very professional from taking my order on the phone to cooking, delivering, and serving our meal. The food was great!! The employees spoke about it for days, and BBQ boys left us craving their food. The tri-tip was to die for, it was so juicy. If I ever need to order for a large event again, I will use them again!! read more

See all

*** My review is based on consuming BBQ Boys fare so I have no information on how they are to work with. *** BBQ Boys' food is Mmm-Mmm Good! I've attended two functions catered by this group and on both occasions the food was scrumptious. I especially love their sausages, chicken, cole slaw (the best!) and cornbread but the ribs (KC style) are great, too. read more

BBQ Boys catered an outdoor picnic in the park for 300 people. Barbequed chicken and pork ribs (hamburgers and hot dogs for the children) and a few veggie burgers. They set up and maintained the buffet table for a 2 hour serving window. We selected BBQ boys because they cook the food fresh at the picnic site (which is rarer than you might think) and because of their positive business/corporate reviews. We were under tremendous personal pressure to produce a successful event and we didn't want to fuss with the barbeque- which in my opinion- is the cornerstone of an outdoor picnic. We selected two of the most difficult food items to barbeque successfully- which are chicken and ribs. What can I say? BBQ boys is a fine-tuned, smooth running, well-oiled barbeque catering machine! And my people should know because we just happen to be mechanics, electronic technicians, maintenance workers, etc. They arrived with a 4 person team, and cooked the meat fresh at the site. People raved about the ribs which were tender and lean with just enough charcoal grilled fat to keep things honest. The mesquite chicken (we had a mix of light and dark meat) was smoked to perfection and was moist and tender. The one vegetarian (in our group) that I spoke to- enjoyed the veggie burger and beans. We selected 3 side dishes, potato salad, tossed green salad, and vegetarian ranch beans. The feedback was good for all the side dishes. They also provided watermelon (what is a barbeque without watermelon?) and all the necessary condiments, etc. Everybody was satisfied and happy. We had several VIPs (politicians) that attended our event, and they seemed to enjoy themselves and they seemed to linger longer than they normally would (which I think is a positive?) Thank you BBQ boys for being the professionals that you are and for helping us to produce a successful family event that we can all be proud of. I highly recommend the BBQ boys. read more

If you are looking for someone to provide a completely seamless experience with delicious BBQ cooked to perfection right there in front of you - then look no further than BBQ Boys. I mean it, just stop looking, you've found the right business. We had them cater our outdoor wedding picnic. We chose the Santa Maria Tri-tip and the chicken breasts - both were so delicious. The sides were great too. And the vegetarian options were perfect. We were so pleased with the number of compliments we received on the food. I mean EVERYONE loved the food, which made us look great. We were also pleased at how easy it was to work with them. Left us a large bunch of leftovers then they donated the rest to a shelter. They knew exactly what to do and did it fabulously! Thank you BBQ boys for making our event a success!! read more

Had these guys' food from my husband's work events and it is delicious hours later I can only imagine how good it is right then as its made! Definitely want more and will let my boss know for my company! read more

My co-worker decided to throw a game day for our department. All I could think about was...ohhh no...not another department event where the food sucks and aren't complimentary for a vegetarian. BBQ Boys was the caterer she told me. Hmm...I know my company uses them all the time, I just know I've never eaten it!!! Wow...all I have to say is, their veggie burger was on POINT!!!!!! Luv it!!!! And OMG...where did you get those tomatoes from yo???? They were sooooooo sweet and succulent. We're not even gonna talk about the potato salad!!!! Are you sure my momma isn't in the your kitchen because this sure does taste like home cooking!!!! Thanks BBQ Boys I'm happy to say, you tickled my fancy!!!!!!! read more

BBQ Boys rock! Their tri-tip is delicious. They take care of everything when you work with them. They set up cook and clean up, all you need to do is enjoy yourself. They have fantastic food options and will work with you on your budget as well. We use them plenty of times for catering events at work. Big kudos from me for working with me for a charity event where the owner gave me a great deal on the event. read more

The BBQ Boys cater many of our corporate events each year and I tired of their menu pretty quickly. A lot of the food is pretty tasteless and disappointing, specially the beans. I would recommend Armadillo Willy's. Honestly, it's 10 times better.... read more

Company picnic BBQ catered by them. Was okay. Wasn't all that great. Meat was kinda burnt. Italian sausages were probably the best but you can't go wrong with sausage anyways. Cornbread tasted like chlorine. Corn was greasy and undercooked. read more

Just had the BBQ Boys cater an event for 150 people at Blackberry Farm Cupertino. We had the Tri-tip and the BBQ chicken and both were amazing. I was at two different events lately with a BBQ theme and there was no comparison to these guys. They were easy to work with as well. read more

We have worked with BBQ Boys for a few years now and they get better every time. Today they brought us the best BBQ to the park and my company loved it. The food was fresh and delicious. It was marinated, cooked just right and the sauce and dressing was enough too. They offer one of the best BBQs I have had. One of the boys Tony, answered my questions and offered me togo boxes. They have an amazing staff and very professional and clean. Thank you BBQ Boyz :) read more

BBQ Boys catered the main meal for our company employee appreciation event for 300+. They were very willing to tailor their menu to fit our Hawaiian-theme event and were open to menu modifications so we didn't kill our budget. They arrived at the location on-time, and food service started according to plan. Chicken, sausages, salad, beans and corn in a self-serve buffet, and kept available for people wanting seconds. They even transported the excess to City Team Ministries. Feedback both during and after the event from multiple employees was very positive about the variety and quality. Thank you for the great food and service. read more

BBQ Boys catered our Annual SF Giants Company outing and it was simply amazing! A little background, my crowd isn't the easiest to please food wise but the options provided made it easy for me to decide upon their menu versus anyone else. It is still a little nerve wrecking when you try a new vendor out for the first time but the reviews here and their ratings put my mind at ease (a little). BBQ Boys are professional, the food was amazing, and they were the only ones willing to order tables, chairs, linen on my behalf. We had the chicken breast and tri-tip! I received so many compliments from staff about the food served, the sides offered, and the great service. BBQ Boys even had a portable speaker to which we were able to listen to some 80's music while we eat before our game. I will use them again and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services! Cheers, Maria - SMC read more

BBQ Boys catered my nephew's high school graduation party...I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the ginormous BBQ trailer thingy parked in my sister's driveway. Our feast included chicken, ribs, sausages, all kinds of salads and veggies. I would highly recommend BBQ Boys to handle your next event - as long as it isn't vegan. read more

I tried to book BBQ Boys for my wedding and quickly decided against using them as my caterers. After waiting for weeks for them to supply a formal proposal and then agreeing to their proposal, they renegged on providing rentals for the wedding. Then I asked for a substitution on their menu, as well as a time to do a tasting. They did not get back to me for another month (despite my having contacting them by phone and email once more), so I ended up going with another caterer. I never got a chance to taste their food - so the rating is purely based on their poor customer service. read more

We hired The BBQ Boys for our company party. I had never organized the company party before and was anxious about every detail. Kristina and Bob were extremely patient with me and worked with me to get the exact menu that fit our budget. Very professional in the office. The event was a success with big credit going to The BBQ Boys. The trucks rolled in and started cooking exactly when they said they would. This was clearly not their first large event. The entire staff was fun to work with and extremely professional, checking in with me and making recommendations according to the amount of people arriving at the party at various times. And the food was delicious. I have received many compliments from coworkers about the food at the party. Get the tri tip!!! read more

BBQ Boys not only did a great job with my wedding, they did most of it VEGAN! This is not their typical menu, so I was glad they could be so flexible with me. The menu was creative and the food was tasty. Great job, Bob! read more

I used BBQ Boys to cater my wedding in Gilroy in April for 60 people. Everything turned out fantastically, I couldn't be happier. Liana, the event coordinator, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I did all of my wedding planning myself, so having vendors that were organized definitely helped me out. The food was excellent - we went with tri tip, chicken, asparagus and the bacon chive mashed potatoes (those were the best)! The beans were a bit average, but hard to make beans too exciting. I was a bit nervous as I never was able to work in a tasting before the wedding. Based on other Yelp reviews and my interactions with Liana, I decided to move forward anyway. Bob, the owner, was even able to do a site visit a few days in advance, which put my mind at ease even more. I highly recommend BBQ Boys! read more

If you are looking for delicious, tasteful, and reliable The BBQ Boy are a Must! They catered my wedding in April and I could not have been happier. They were on time, self sufficient, clean, easy to work with and good at what they do. I am still getting positive feedback from guest raving about how good the food was. This is an excellent choice, I wouldn't think twice. read more

Amazing! I know a professional caterer when I see one ! I used to be one ! The food was on pint cooked to perfection ! Bob was so responsive. Contract details outlines to the letter, team so friendly and amazing ! Food was plentiful ! I interviewed five Bbq catering companies and he stood out from the pack! Thank you Bob it feels great to have a go to BBQ guy in the family ! read more

BBQ boys was the caterer for my daughter's first bday party! They surely did an amazing job. The guests loved the food! We got the bbq chicken and tri-tip, and they were superb! Liana provided great customer service from inquiry to booking. Tony and staff provided an awesome job setting-up, and making sure the food trays were always full. I will definitely book them again for another event. Thumbs up! read more

This is a 4.5 Star review, but Yelp won't let you do halves ;) The owner/BBQ master Bob is absolutely delightful. He was helpful with picking the right menu, making suggestions about beer/wine and how to set things up, he recommended ways we could do things cheaper than through them (buy sodas ourselves, etc.). I love that all of the sides are vegetarian - no muss no fuss with trying to figure out does this, that, or the other have bacon in it, etc. Also, when you pick your protein, there is a whole standard slate of sides that come with - and they are generous. Corn, salad, garlic bread, ranch beans, potato salad, watermelon - all delicious and fresh and awesome. They were also happy to have a dozen or so garden burgers on hand for the vegetarians We got tri-tip and sausages, and we are still getting compliments on both. We also had some leftovers that were great! The price was very reasonoable and the portions generous. It was also fun to have Bob on-site cooking for us. We had paid for an extra serve to stick around and help serve cake/tidy up - that was great, affordable, and a really nice thing to have. I took off a 1/2 star because we had a snafu with the permitting at the park that would allow them to park the truck and use the access road. I really did not enjoy wondering about it 2 days before the wedding. Of course, it all worked out just fine, but I wish it had been ironed out a bit sooner is all. I would definitley use them again if I had a big event to cater - good food, amazingly friendly people, and a very positive experience. read more

We had BBQ Boys cater our wedding back in Aug of this year. The BBQ and all the fixins were absolutely delicious! And Chef Bob was professional and wonderful throughout the entire planning and prep process. If you want finger-licking good BBQ then I highly recommend BBQ Boys! read more

These folks do a great job. I just was married this past weekend, and as I come from a big family, it was a big wedding - 200 people. The BBQ Boys (who had also done my sister's wedding five years ago) were great from the beginning. Nadeane, their office manager, is prompt and totally on top of responses and questions. The food was cooked on site, was ready exactly on time, it was delicious, there was plenty of it, they were able to move people through the line efficiently, and their presentation was lovely. They have an expanded menu with both high end and basic bbq options. Plus I found their pricing to be very reasonable. And they can accommodate gluten free and vegetarian guests. This is a good, hard working outfit; and I was really pleased to be working with them. Thank you BBQ Boys!! read more

For the second year in a row we had the BBQ Boys cater our company picnic. Food is superior to anything we have ever had before. Absolutely delicious and tender Tri-Tip, and don't even let me get started on that addicting peanut coleslaw! Yum! Everyone at the picnic commented on how great the food was. The servers are polite and professional. We will definitely be using them again next year! read more

Love these guys...even better than we hoped for! Such a great addition to our Fourth of July party. The food was amazing and the Staff were attentive and friendly. We had tri tip and BBQ chicken. Trip tip has to be done right or it's pretty awful...but theirs was tender, juicy and flavorful. Our guests loved that all of the sides were vegetarian...especially liked were the grilled vegetables and the ranch beans! They arrived on time and served on time (and were even flexible enough to let the band finish their set). Would definitely, positively use them again!!! read more

We just recently had our company picnic and hired BBQ Boys to cater. They were on time, friendly, professional and the food was great! I would definitely recommend them! read more

WOW!! The BBQ Boys are amazing! They catered our wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was a rustic themed, outdoor, DIY style wedding. We were so nervous about everything. The buffet set up was simple yet classy. The food was DELICIOUS!!!!!! Everyone was talking about how great it was at the wedding and after the wedding. I'm so glad we decided to use the BBQ Boys. They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and the amazing food really added something special. They really are the best! read more

Had an event yesterday for around 150 people for work and as usual the BBQ Boys worked their magic. Food (both quality & quantity) was excellent, as well as the service. Liana, the event coordinator made sure that all my requests were met and pulled a rabbit out of the hat, when I messed up and didn't get back to her timely with my confirmation. Dan and his team, who were in charge of the cooking were prompt, courteous and helpful. They even loaned us one of their carts to transport are games. This is about the 5th time I have used them over the years and they have yet to disappoint. I have no desire to try someone new, when I know that I will get the best from them. read more

I'm so glad it was a buffet because I definitely wanted seconds!! The BBQ boys recently catered a breakfast brunch at my office and I had to admit I was really amazed on how well the set up was. 5 stars for the steup 5 stars for having EVERYTHING a person could use/need condiment wise 5 stars for the food I loved the cajun shrimp quiches :D read more

Seriously comparable to some bbq from the midwest: These guys catered our company event for a group of 40+ people. Their food is rather impressive: The offer some vegetarian fare, but what stood out the most was the mesquite grilled chicken breasts (which look overcooked but were really moist and juicy AND flavorful underneath that charred exterior) and the Santa Maria Tri-Tip Sirloin (done medium well, with some pink in center- with enough seasoning to please your palate into realizing that it is very tasy :) ). The 'famous vegetarian ranch beans' had apples, onions, and a tart flavor. The Nibblet corn had herbed butter, parsley, and red peppers to give it some tang. The grilled garlic bread was awesomely garlicky, but also very very drenched in butter. Yum Yummy in the tummy :) read more

Great catering, would hire them again. They were very flexible in the menu and service. Excellent BBQ.
