Bomb BBQ! Mac n Cheese was fire, Pulled pork, hot links, beans was all on point! Highly recommend read more

So I just tried this today for the first time and I am a smokey bbq consumer I live for it bbq and smokey meat that is I rate this a high 3 to low 4 star due to price points just on the cusp of to much smoke otherwise portions are amazing and if I had to choose my favorite it would have to be the Mac and cheese and bacon overall good job guys you left me wanting more even though I couldn't take another bite due to being so full I recommend everyone to at least try it and you be the critics everyone has a different pallet for me a little more sweet with the smoke to mellow it out maple syrup!!!!!!! Price point also!!!! At this price where is the BEEF!!!!! Otherwise you guys are amazing!!! Super fun and friendly!!!!! Hope this helps all around still good food!!! read more

Zuc's catered at our walk a thon this year and I decided to give them a try since I love me some trip tip. I preordered my meal and showed up the day of with my ticket. I ordered the tri tip sandwich with bacon Mac n cheese and tortellini. Everything was delicious! The meat was full of flavor and was super tender. The sides were yummy as well. Wish this place had a brick and mortar store. read more

Zuc catered our 300 person wedding and his BBQ stole the show. The food was delicious and he was amazing to work with. He took great care of my wife and I and prepared a tray for sausages that I could pass out to my guests. I truly cannot recommend Zuc more! We have picked up food when he does special events and we are never disappointed. Affordable and high quality. Ribs, pulled pork, mac and cheese and roasted chicken are my faves! read more

No flavor on the meat and bbq sauce was sweet and sour chili sauce...wtf

I volunteered today at a function, which was catered by Zuc. Oh my goodness!!! Everything was amazing! The brisket was perfect, as well as the chicken, ribs, and pulled pork. Everything was fresh! The spicy coleslaw, vegetable medley, and potato salad were tasty and I want more! The mac and cheese looked amazing, but by the time I got to it, it was all gone- obviously, it must have been delicious too. The devil spit sauce is savory, sweet, and spicy, but not over the top. The homemade mustard was so good that I bet I could eat it by the spoonful. Please take a chance. You won't regret it!!! Yum. read more

Zuc's Frontyard Barbeque - My delicious lunch! - Caterers Near Me

See all

Zuc catered an awesome BBQ for a group of about 100 people at Cuesta Park in Mountain View. It went really well, the menu included chicken, brisket, portobello mushrooms, mac n cheese, potato salad, beans, rolls, veggies, sweet tea and lemonade all very good. He and his associate setup buffet tables with chafing dishes. We just provided the wine, beer, bottled water and cookies. After everyone finished Zuc and his associate cleaned up and there was no cleanup left for us to do, it was fantastic. This was the first time we used Zuc and many of the attendees asked for his business card, so clearly very satisfied customers!! He actually is located in Sunnyvale, not that it matters, Zuc comes to you! His pricing is very reasonable. read more

I've had Zuc cater a few more events, including my daughter's high school graduation party. The food and service is always consistently delicious and top quality! read more

Zuc's Frontyard Barbeque - Ribs, 2 kinds of chicken, brisket plus sides - Caterers Near Me

There's a giant "Z" on the back of his grill. So you know it's Zuc's. The SFIAC (SF Italian Athletic Club) held their annual bocce ball tournament at The Marin Bocce Federation in San Rafael last Sunday. I knew there would be coffee & donuts, plenty of booze, & that lunch was included. But I didn't know who was catering the lunch. Until I saw the gargantuan grill out front at 9:00 am. While we were busy w the competition, Zuc's was working hard preparing to feed all 150 of us. The goods... Brisket. Chicken. Sausages. Hot dogs. W mac & cheese, beans, & salad for sides. The brisket was outstanding. Uber tender, smoky, & delicious. But it shared star status w the hot dogs. The hot dogs were full of flavor & juicy. So, so good. I think they should sell these dogs at AT&T Park. That's how good they were. Next billing has to go to the mac & cheese. Decadent & creamy, w bits of bacon...it was pretty stellar. The sausages were overcooked, & the chicken was just okay. It really was all about the brisket & the dogs. These guys are an impressive operation. They even make an awesome sauce that's sweet & has heat. Professional & personable, I talked to Zuc briefly about my hearing that they had taken the grill out of state. He told me they've taken it as far as Ohio. That's quite a distance to give the people the barbecue they need. Kudos to Zuc's for going the extra mile. We were told there were leftovers, so to go ahead & take some home. Don't threaten me w a good time. Awesome hot dogs the next day for lunch? Thank you Zuc's. 4 stars. read more

Hella bomb! ! Had bbq a week ago best Hella good. Meat fell of the bone! But by far my favorite was the patatoe salad and the corn! Holey smokes!!! Delicious!!!!!! Can't wait to have an event just to taste it again! Love what you do bro. You can taste the love you put into your craft brother! read more

Zuc's original home recipes were simply too amazing to keep hidden in the backyard!! Let's start with the BBQ: The most phenomenal food you will EVER eat. Devil Spit Chicken, Pulled Pork, Tri-Tip, RIBS, Spicy Jack Coleslaw, Hot Links dipped in Devil Spit, Ribs, and did I mention RIBS?!? Weddings, Baseball Tournaments, Car Shows, or for just a fun Family Get Together!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN LEFT DISAPPOINTED OR HUNGRY! They aim to feed! Thank You, Zuc & family/friends for ALWAYS making my tummy full, my hand a mess and my mind blown! read more

Just finished my 1st transplant birthday partee with Zuc and his crew. Every single guest totally raved about the food. The meat is so tender, brisket was melt in your mouth. All time favorite was the mac'n 'cheese with bacon no less. Zuc has the heart of a lion and he is fierce. He made this day so special for me and all my guests. Love love love that he took such great care of us. read more

A big shoutout to Zuc's, who has been a great supporter of Cumberland Elementary's walkathon in past years. Delicious pulled pork, tri-tip and unbelievable mac-n-cheese! And thanks for supporting the local community. Please support Zuc's! A happy fan. read more

If you've been looking for California's best bbq, look no further. Absolutely delicious mains and sides! 10/10!

This review is long in coming because I only recently realized that I never submitted it. Zuc's catered our son's wedding reception last August with about 100 guests. The food was absolutely fabulous. From the initial contact and throughout the whole process of planning the reception, Zuc was responsive and made great suggestions. On the day of the reception, he and his crew were right on time, with all the equipment, and prepared a wonderful meal. Our guests were very impressed, and so were we. read more

Zuc is amazing- best freaking BBQ I have had in a long time. He catered a lunch for my office 100+ BIG eaters - and everyone was full and everyone raved about the food. Everything was soooo good. The only problem is choosing what to get! read more

WOW. Hands down some of the best BBQ I've ever had. I called Zuc on a Friday thinking it was a restaurant, and it is not, and you can not go there. He has an amazing catering service and lucky for me he was doing a large event the next day and I was able to have him make extra for myself and my friends. We got ribs, chicken, pork, mac and cheese, and vegetables. The ribs were delicious. Smoked to perfection and the seasoning was just right. The chicken and pork were the same way. The vegetables were great, I have never had smoked vegetables. They weren't the highlight of the meal but I'd definitely eat them again. The best part was the macaroni and cheese. It was more like cheese and cheese with some macaroni in it, and it was AWESOME. There were chunks of cheddar in it, bits of smoked bacon... it was delicious. I mixed some with the smoked pork, and let me tell you... heaven, right there in my mouth. Next time I'm in town I will definitely be calling Zuc to see what events he has coming up, and if he can throw some extra on for it. A+! read more

We had Zuc cater our backyard wedding welcome dinner in Los Altos in April 2019, and it was such a great experience. The scheduling was so easy and they did all the set up without a hitch. He brought so much food that we were eating leftovers for months after. The smoker made the whole neighborhood smell amazing as well, so I'm sure all the neighbors were jealous! One note, if you have a lot of vegetarians in your party be sure to check the ingredients in the sides because things like the excellent Mac and cheese have meat in them (yum!) read more

Awesome BBQ!!! Had pulled pork and beef tri tip. Absolutely amazing!!! I will definitely hire this guy at some point in time. read more

Zuc has done it again & again & again since 2013!!! At every Event that Zuc has served his delicious BBQ Meat & amazing Side Dishes, he has brought them huge smiles and happy full bellies!!!! Zuc has become a Rock Star of BBQ with our Veterans and I cannot brag on him enough!!! The Vets are in Cloud 9 as they fill their plates with his BBQ deliciousness!! I don't even like Pork Ribs, but I will eat Zuc's!!!! The tender Meat just slides off the bones!! His Brisket is juicy & flavorful, his Pulled Pork is to die for, BBQ Chicken is amazing, and when He makes Sausages & Salmon, it is off the charts!!! THEN there is (in my humble opinion) Zuc's World's Tastiest Mac'n Cheese......ohmygoodness!!! His homemade Mustard and all of his BBQ Sauces are FANTASTIC as well! Adding to that, Zuc's Potato Salad and Spicy Cole Slaw are so flavorful!!! I love to mix his ice cold Lemonade with his ice cold Ice Tea and make a delicious Arnold Palmer! Zuc is a man of integrity with a heart of gold!!! Zuc treats everyone with so much kindness and hospitality as if you were a long-lost friend! I highly and without reservation recommend Zuc's Frontyard BBQ......we all love his food and we love him even more!!! THANK YOU ZUC!!!!! read more

Thank you for such delicious food last Saturday for Amy and Rory. It couldn't have been better.

Has some of the best bbq in California. Doesn't matter what you think you don't like from other spots, try it from Zuc 's and it'll be your new favorite read more

Zuc's Frontyard Barbeque - Baby back ribs - Caterers Near Me

See all

Zuc was amazing with a special request: a brisket for my wedding anniversary. He made time to talk to me about it, followed up and boy did he deliver! It was amazing. So much better (and economical) than having it shipped in from Texas. No matter how small your needs are, he will make an effort to make it happen. Loved it. read more

Really awsome BBQ. They catered a unit event and had more than enough food. The price was extremely reasonable...

YUM YUM and did I say YUM!! OMG Mike's BBQ is SO good!! I look forward to ordering it whenever I can for my tech's dinner meetings..

Zuc is awesome and so is his food. Zuc's and his crew catered our rehearsal dinner for 45 guests in my backyard. Prior to booking with Zuc he invited my now husband and I to his house to try the BBQ. He is so chill, friendly and welcoming and he makes the best BBQ I have ever had. Our wedding was a true home grown effort (it was in our backyard) and during the day on Friday Zuc even helped our wedding party build the wedding arch while he was tending the BBQ. Seriously, his generosity is unreal. Also, his prices are insanely reasonable. At the rehearsal we had chicken, baby back ribs, pulled pork and portobello mushrooms with cheese for the vegetarians. His food is unreal and we had an insane amount of leftovers. Check out his Facebook page for ordering as you can pick up a rack of ribs from him in addition to booking him for catering. Zuc, we can't thank you enough! read more

The best barbecue ever! We've had Zuc do a bunch of outdoor, indoor, and block parties. Needless to say, EVERYONE was HAPPY! Not only is all his food, meats, salads, and breads to die for, and just the smell of the wood burning in his giant BBQ along with sizzling meats...but... he's the nicest and most generous man! All of our family and friends only use Zuc! read more

Hands down the best BBQ I've had this side of the Mississippi and definitely top three of all time! The special mustard was an added (and delicious) benefit! So great on the ribs! read more

This review is way overdue, so I couldn't let another day go by without raving about Zuc's! We had Zuc and his crew cater a high school reunion last year and we are so happy we chose his services! The food was outstanding and very plentiful! All the portions were extremely generous and every item we chose from his menu was mouth watering. Aside from all the delicious food, Zuc was very easy to work with throughout the whole process, from our first phone call to taste testing and then the actual event!! I can't say enough about Zuc and his food!! I will definitely call him again the next time we have a function! read more

Great meats, great veggies, great sides. One of our favorites and we plan to use Mike again for our family baby shower. He will work with you on just about anything you'd like which makes the delicious meal feel like it is coming straight from his heart (which it is!). We went with the devil spit chicken (bomb!), ribs and brisket. Sides include Mac and Cheese, spicy and regular slaw, veggies and beans. We can't wait to enjoy the feast and share it with our friends! read more

OMG! Awesome. I would neve exspect such a great BBQ place in downtown Los Altos, however this place is the bomb. Everything I had was devine read more

Zuc and his team hosted lunch for our work team at Hewlett Packard today. Working with Zuc & Shelli prior to our event was easy. Their communication was great. Their menu options are plentiful. In addition to making the carnivores happy, they were able to satisfy the needs of our vegetarians, vegans and gluten free people. Their grilled portobello mushrooms were simply divine. Oh, and the mac & cheese with bacon = YUM! So glad their were leftovers for me to bring home! Give them a try, I'm sure you'll agree! read more

I wasn't sure what i liked better- the ribs or the brisket- until i tried the pulled pork sandwich... OFF THE HOOK PIG SANDWICH!!! I cannot reccommend Zuc's enough- do yourself a favor and just try it! read more

It was our first time to use Zuc's for our club's 25th Anniversary party. We had 100+ people at the event and many of the guests let me know that the food was awesome. But I didn't need them to tell me because I kept seeing people come up for seconds :-D Also, Zuc was a pleasure to work with and so helpful during the event. We will use him again and highly recommend him to our friends. read more

Zuc recently catered Cumberland Elementary School's 38th Annual Walkathon and the food was AWESOME! Not only is Zuc a joy to work with but his staff was professional and fun. The pulled pork and tri-tip had so many compliments from the Cumberland community. The kids (and adults including myself!) loved the Mac N Cheese. I never though that Mac N Cheese could taste this amazing. I can't thank you enough Zuc! With you managing the food, I could worry about managing the rest of the event! read more

Zuc catered my parents' 50th anniversary party (~90 people), and it was AMAZING!! The food was fabulous - we had brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, portobello mushrooms, mac n cheese (with and without bacon), beans, potato salad, and salad. Everything was delicious - I especially liked the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs (and of course the mac n cheese with bacon). I had seconds and I saw people going for thirds.... Zuc was great to work with - he set everything up, kept the food stocked, and helped clean up. He had his smoker out in front so everyone could see him in action. I'm hoping to have another excuse to have Zuc cater again soon! read more

If you're seeking an awesome meal for catering, or get the chance to enjoy this food at an event you're in luck. The ribs, pork and especially the macaroni and cheese are downright amazing! I was given the privilege to order three smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving from Zuc and they were not only a hit, but by far the best turkey I have ever had. He cares about the product he puts out and definitely wants to make sure his customers are happy. Thanks for everything! read more

Zuc is an incredible grill master. His brisket, ribs and pulled pork were perfect. The meat was moist with a nice touch of smoke and a super tasty bark. My guests are still talking about it. The potato salad and Jack Daniels slaw? Perfect. Everyone is ready for another Zuc extravaganza. The food is great but so is Zuc and his BBQ Team. They are committed to excellent customer service. They are professional, polite and serious about BBQ. I think they may have left the space cleaner than they found it. It was amazing. Give Zuc a call. His BBQ is sure to please. read more
