My Son recommended Berkley's Original Backyard BBQ for my daughter's graduation party from USC. The pork ribs, chicken, Cole slaw and potato salad were a big hit. Family and friends couldn't get enough. The server's were friendly, efficient, and helpful. I am a BBQ aficionado with wood and appreciated Berkley sharing, with me, how he prepped and cooked those incredible ribs. Can a Brotha Get Some BBQ!!" I highly recommend Berkly's BBQ.
The ribs, hot links and chicken were tender and full of flavor. The bbq baked beans and rolls were a perfect compliment. Our servers were professional and super friendly. It was a great experience from beginning to end. We are happy customers and will be calling again. I recommend Berkley and his crew cater your event because he won't disappoint. BTW, Berkley is down to earth and super easy to work with. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!
Off the freakin hook! I hosted a luncheon for one of my clients in El Monte (I am from Lawndale). Berkley and crew showed up early and over delivered on taste and quality! Food was awesome, we got chicken, ribs, and Tri-Tip with all the sides and drinks. All items were top notch. Berkley is an artiste and puts a lot of heart and soul into his food, it shows. The client loved his BBQ and sides, spread (Xmas decorations and music), and his personality. I grew up on J&J, Phillip's, Tony Romas, and Chicago for Ribs.His topped them all. His signature (bottled) sauce wasn't for sale yet but we consumed all that he had. We will have him back for our all-client appreciation dinner in a few months for 250 people. 100% recommended!!!
Berkley catered for one of our company meetings and it was GREAT! They showed up early and everyone was SO friendly. They had chicken, sausage, potato salad, beans, coleslaw and salad. I was obsessed with their salad dressing! Food choices for meetings often end in moans and groans because someone wasn't happy.... Not this time! Recommended is an understatement. Thanks again!
Berkleys catered our work event today and was amazing. They came in, set up early, and the entire staff was super friendly. It looked like they were all having a blast making the food. Everything was made with care, the food was very fresh. Hands down the best catering we have used. We will definitely be using them again!
Berkley provided a high quality, catered lunch for 150 of our Geek Squad Agents today. He showed up extra early to freshly prepare the food on site and it showed in the flavor. We had chicken and sausages with Cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. All were delicious and the team raved about the food. I would highly recommend his services to my friends and family, you can tell he takes pride in the food he cooks. Thank you for feeding the team today!!!
The best barbecue I've ever had the chicken has a little kick to it which is awesome the ribs are so tasty with a little bit of spice but at the same time melt off the bone and finally the macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, cornbread and some of the other sides are absolutely amazing if you haven't tried it you need to
This August, we are going to have our annual company picnic and this is the second year that we got Berkley's to cater. Berk is AWESOME, nice to talk to and will definitely work with you on your budget. We had tri tips, ribs and chicken BBQ and they are not just good but it was great, cooked to perfection. Totally perfect. :)
We were looking for something new for our company party and we decised to try Berkleys BBQ. We did not know what to expect but the food was delivered on time and the staff were awesome. The food was not around long and my staff were in love with the food. If you want a good experience and amazing food. This is it. Hats
Berkley and Staff cater our Holiday Company Party every year like ROCKSTARS. THey are clean, Professional, pleasant, and Berkley is THE MASTER BBQ MAN!!! The tri tip, ribs, and chicken are TOPS. Thank you so much for another amazing year from all 70 of us. No one compares, you are the MAN. You rule BBQ heaven Berkley!!!
If I could leave 0 stars I would. I reached out to them for a quote to cater a party in my home and never received a quote back. I spoke with someone on the phone who asked me to send an email with my request - which I did. A day later I got back a response of "ok, got it". That's the last I heard from them...that was 12 days ago. I even sent a follow up email asking if they'd had a chance to review, that was 8 days ago...no response. My event is not for another 6 weeks so I wasn't left scrambling and I have time to find someone else, but the unprofessionalism of this experience was pretty bad. Even if I hear from them at this point there is no way I'd hire this company.
I wouldn't give him 1 star! Emailed The catering service on A sunday night. I received a call from the owner Monday morning. We spoke I explained my information and what we needed for my event, etc. He told me he would have a proposal to me by Monday afternoon. Come Monday afternoon, no proposal and same by Tuesday afternoon. I then tried to call him and his phone was saying he was unvailable and you could not leave a message. I called several times Tuesday and emailed him as well, no response. Come Wednesday I received a text which btw is so unprofessional for a business owner to repond in this manner to a client especially when he already is late on getting me my quote. Just rude! His text stated that things have been nuts and that he'd have a quote to me that morning and of course I received nothing. At that point I had already made the desicion to not use his services but wanted to see if he would actually send me a quote and still nothing. My event was 100 people at my home so it's not like it was a small party.I was ready to book him if his quote was reasonable because my 1st impression from the site and speaking with him I felt comfortable he would deliver and be a great for my party. WRONG!! I still have no idea why he stood me up but I could care less because that is not the type of business I would want catering my parties.And still to this day no apology, response, nothing! JERK!
I have used Berkley's multiple times. The biggest was for 80 guests. The food was amazing! The BBQ Chicken and sausage were so good. He even made some roasted veggies for my vegetarian guests. Everybody loved it. I love his potato salad and BBQ sauce. Yummy! I am in the pharmaceutical field and have worked with many caterers in the past. I love working with Berkley, he makes it very easy. Delivery and set up is also very professional.
OMG I just had the best barbeque I've ever had! I'm so glad Berkley's Backyard BBQ catered my Company's party. The ribs were absolutely delicious! And the sauce......the BBQ sauce was incredible! My colleagues and I cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was, and how courteous and professional the staff were. Berkley I want more of your barbeque and more & more of your delicious BBQ sauce! Berkley's Backyard BBQ YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
