🔥 5 stars isn’t enough. If you’re looking for BBQ catering in San Francisco, Brandon and Brian are the real deal. We had them cater a few private events, and people still haven’t stopped talking about it. The ribs? Fall-apart tender. Like, you barely touch them...Read More

Ordered BBQ catering for a Christmas party. Everything was amazing, on time, great communication and easy. I paid via invoice, and then just showed up to pick up everything. Would order again! Brisket, chicken, and mac and cheese were all delicious.

They are currently only catering but I and some friends stopped by thinking they were open for walk-ins. The guy apologetically offered us some “BBQ sauce to go” and it was phenomenal. 10/10 would wander in again.
