About Buck’s BBQ

Based in Van Nuys since 1987, we bring Santa Maria–style BBQ and live-fire grilling to events across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.

On-Site BBQ Catering Since 1987


Buck’s BBQ Catering has been based in Van Nuys, California, since 1987. We specialize in Santa Maria-style barbecue and bring our grills to your event. We prep most of the food in our Van Nuys kitchen, then cook or finish it at your venue so it’s ready to serve hot off the grill.



What We Cook at Your Event


We cook our tri-tip, BBQ chicken, salmon, bratwurst, grilled vegetables, and corn roasted in the husk entirely on-site. We smoke our beef ribs, pork spare ribs, and baby back ribs in our kitchen, then finish them over an open flame at your event.

Serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley


Our mobile BBQ catering crew serves Los Angeles County, including the San Fernando Valley, as well as most of Ventura and Orange counties. We cater weddings, birthdays, quinceañeras, and showers, along with company picnics, grand openings, topping-out celebrations, and workplace safety events. We also cater baby namings, brit milah celebrations, and bar and bat mitzvahs.



Meet Your Catering Team


Our crew brings the grill, sets up the buffet, and cooks and serves at your venue. Buffet service typically lasts about 90 minutes. We bus tables as time permits and clean up our setup before we leave. Bartending and drink service are also available with additional staff.
