BBQ catering for backyards, parks and picnics
BBQ catering in Los Angeles with smoked and grilled meats, proper sides and an on-site grill when the event calls for it, made for a climate where outdoor parties happen all year.
California barbecue, cooked for a crowd
Southern California weather makes barbecue a year-round option, and BBQ catering in Los Angeles is one of the easiest ways to feed a big outdoor group. We cook tri-tip in the Santa Maria style that California is known for, along with brisket, pulled pork, ribs, grilled chicken and plant-based mains. Portions are planned so the meat lasts until the last guest goes through the line. Every menu comes with real sides: mac and cheese, slaw, beans, cornbread, grilled vegetables and salads.
Some events want the food delivered hot in chafing dishes; others want a grill running on site with the smell drifting across the yard. We do both. On-site grilling works well in backyards, parks and private lots where the venue allows open flame. For beach-city and park events where it does not, we cook in our kitchen and hold everything hot so the meat still arrives sliced, juicy and ready.
What goes on the BBQ menu
Tri-tip & brisket
Santa Maria-style tri-tip and slow-cooked brisket, sliced to order and served with salsa, chimichurri or barbecue sauce on the side, plus warm rolls for anyone building a sandwich.
Chicken, ribs & pulled pork
Grilled chicken, pork ribs and pulled pork sandwiches for crowds that want a mix of proteins on the same plate, with sauces kept on the side for picky eaters.
Proper sides
Mac and cheese, slaw, baked beans, cornbread, elote-style corn, potato salad and grilled vegetables, all made in our kitchen and portioned so the sides never run out before the meat.
On-site grilling
A grill and a cook on site for backyards, parks and private lots that allow open flame, plus a buffet line served hot. The smoke and sizzle become part of the party.
Company picnics
Picnics, team days and family days in the park with lawn-friendly setups, shade for the food and lawn games left to you. See corporate catering for weekday office events.
Plant-based BBQ
Grilled vegetable skewers, veggie burgers, smoky beans and vegan sides labeled clearly, so plant-based guests get a real plate instead of a bun and slaw. See vegan and special diets.

Can you grill on site?
Yes, at venues that allow open flame. Where grilling is not permitted, we cook in our kitchen and hold the food hot on site.
Do you cater BBQs at the beach?
Beach rules on grills and permits vary by city, so we check them first. Ask about Manhattan Beach or Redondo Beach events.
Do you offer vegan BBQ options?
Yes. Grilled vegetables, plant-based burgers and vegan sides can be added to any BBQ menu.

We cater across four regions of LA County: the South Bay, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the Westside and coast, and South Los Angeles. Every community we cover is listed on our service areas page.
