Started in 1989, as a part time
venture. With customer recognition,
within 2 years that venture blossomed into a full time business,
currently with over 5,000 successful events.
The word that best describes our food is flavorful. Robert’s father had no
desire to eat bland food. Our favorite calls come from clients whose employees
are still talking about the wonderful meal the next day.
We create flavors that are robust (not spicy), complex and balanced that provide
such a memorable meal that you will have us back again.
Our style has evolved over time from Robert’s father’s backyard BBQ’s and his
early recipes, lending itself deeper into California Cuisine and combining many
seasonal and regional ingredients cooked fresh, before your eyes.
This is NOT Texas BBQ, but rather what we like to call California grilling; a
blend of ethnicities and flavors – fun, fresh and innovative! You will be
pleased by the presentation and even more impressed by the taste.
We take our food seriously. We have created all our own sauces, marinades,
dressings, innovative salads, sausages and much more. These recipes combined
with fresh quality ingredients set us apart. Our knowledgeable staff has served
everyone from hungry Giant’s tailgating fans to wine country connoisseurs. Our
confidence, consistency, and reputation are by no accident they stem from
numerous satisfied customers, the best at a reasonable price.
Continuing to adapt and create new innovative ideas with the times and trends
along with our time tested classics. We look forward to creating more memorable
events on the horizon.

My father was one of the many fathers that
created "California backyard BBQ" back in the 60's and 70's. My great memories
of those truly fantastic BBQ's inspired the creation of The BBQ Boys.
A Bay Area native, professional basketball star and a leader in the finance
industry, my father instilled the dedication, discipline, honesty and intensity
that make our fresh BBQ meals five star. His great vision guarantees that you
will get the perfect attention and taste of that backyard grill.
Perhaps we all do want to follow our fathers. I would be very proud to follow
mine.
We are firing up the smoke and sizzle of truly great California BBQ. We
guarantee the taste of delicious food, an attractive presentation and a
professional, cheerful staff. Everything is prepared fresh on site just like in
