  Richard Jones Pit BBQ catered our wedding March 31, 2018. Every dish was delicious and our friends and family complimented how great the food was. My husband and I had a food tasting with Pancho and he was very informative and answered all of our questions. When it got closer to the wedding I spoke with Marcia and Pancho and they were both very helpful with finalizing the menu and timeline for serving. I really appreciate the great communication! We had tri tip, chicken breast, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, vegetables and Caesar salad on our menu. The macaroni and cheese was so good that we froze some of the leftover so we could eat it when we got back from our honeymoon. We are so happy we picked them to cater our wedding and highly recommend them. Thank you to everyone at Richard Jones Pit BBQ for your help and for the great experience!

  These guys are so awesome! Richard Jones BBQ catered our wedding last weekend, and everyone was raving about the food the entire time! Everyone I spoke with at the company was super friendly and helpful, and they were super patient with me when I was asking a million questions and changing things.
  
  We had:
  
  Tri-Tip
  Pulled Pork
  Green Beans with Roasted Almonds
  Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
  Rolls
  
  Every single dish was absolutely wonderful, and our guests were clamoring for seconds. According to the groom, the tri-tip was tender and wonderful (I couldn't have any unfortunately since it's medium-rare and I'm expecting), the pulled pork was delicious, and the mashed potatoes were some of the best I've had. Their catering services were incredibly affordable, and even with the mileage charge to drive from Orange County to IDYLLWILD, and the fee for having under 100 guests, they were still $250 cheaper than a catering quote we received from a local caterer! And to top it off, although I was told that their servers would be unable to set out our cocktail hour foods that were purchased elsewhere (totally understandable), they did it for us anyway, and cleared plates from our guests when they were done as well! Just exceptional service and food all around. We couldn't be happier with Richard Jones BBQ and we'll be referring them to everyone we know!

  Just paid the deposit for this company to cater for my wedding at Highway 39 Events Center! Christy is very nice and professional, and super easy to work with! She presents you with all of their options, and goes over all the details concerning the catering with you! The food we received at the tasting was fantastic and the price I'm paying for 150 people and rentals of glassware and dining ware is fantastic!

  We used Richard Jones for our daughters wedding last October and the food was amazing!! We received many compliments on everything from the food to the servers. At the end of the evening the servers had cleaned up not only everything they brought but also cleaned the kitchen at the venue to spotless perfection!! I would highly recommend Richard Jones BBQ!!

  I highly recommend Richard Jones Pit BBQ for all your catering needs! We had them cater our wedding last month - we wanted a laid-back, BBQ and beer vibe. The food was so delicious, I could hardly believe it. It was not your typical bland, reheated wedding catering food at all. The salad was crisp and fresh, the baked beans and mac and cheese were to die for, and the ribs, chicken, and beef brisket were tender, smoky, juicy, and perfect. I am still getting compliments about the food almost a month later! And in addition to the delicious grub, the customer service could not have been better. They were super communicative and flexible during the planning process, even accommodating us for a full tasting of our menu items because I am super picky! And the day-of service was also stellar. They arrived on time, set up and served without a hitch, and cleaned up quickly and efficiently. As the bride, I was distracted by guests, and all of a sudden I noticed that everything was cleaned up beautifully and the catering team was heading out the front gate! Overall, it could not have been a better experience, and I am very grateful to the whole team at Richard Jones Pit BBQ for helping make our wedding amazing.

  My husband's one request for our wedding was he wanted BBQ, and I am absolutely thrilled we found Richard Jones Pit BBQ. The food is absolutely amazing (and was completely affordable). Whenever anyone talks about our wedding, one of the first things they say to us was how delicious the food was. Our venue, the Newland Barn, required us to bring in all of our own vendors. Not only did they serve us and our guests, they set up, cleaned up, and allowed us to rent the tableware (which was sooo much more convenient than renting it from our other vendor).

  Amazing caterer. The food is absolutely amazing! My mother and I went for a tasting and we loved it all. They're very flexible on achieving the look and feel you desire for your wedding and they'll provide a lot of food for an amazing value!

  Richard Jones BBQ was such a HIT at our wedding! We were looking for a low cost caterer that was still delicious food. That's exactly what we got! Christy and her team were amazing the day of the wedding. We also had them stay for after the dinner to help clean up. It was such an easy decision to go with them, they know what they are doing and everyone raved about the food! we also rented to linens from them and they made the tables look BEAUTIFUL!!

  Richard Jones Pit BBQ catered our wedding and did a wonderful job. The food was excellent and affordable, they arrived on time for setup and the staff very professional and easy to work with.
  
  Their catering manager even referred other vendors to us for flowers, DJ and bartender, so helpful!
  
  We would definitely use them again if we needed to and they are definitely well recommended!

  Amazing food. I watched as my guests walked by with huge plates of food and smiles on their faces! The food is so beyond good and affordable that I can't recommend them highly enough. Great staff. If you are looking for BBQ this is your caterer.

  Richard Jones BBQ is amazing! I was referred to this place by a friend and I'm so happy we went with them. It's a really great price for all the food you get and how delicious it is! I know some brides will not think BBQ is classy but it was sooooo good, and there was virtually nothing left at our wedding. The staff was super helpful and so nice, if you are having an event of any kind, call them!
  
  Thank you Christy, Pancho and Natalie and everyone I can't name, you were amazing!

  Richard Jones BBQ Catering saved our wedding day. We were low on funds and they helped us make it work. In addition, EVERYONE LOVED THE FOOD! I was hesitate about having barbeque but, the set up was lovely and professional. The brisket was to die for and the servers went out of their way to be helpful. Thank you for helping make our day special! Giovanna & Gustavo

  Christy and everyone at Richard Jones is AMAZING!!! From the food tasting to the event, Christy is supportive and generous every step of the way. Not only is the service professional and friendly, but the food is sooooo good! By far the best BBQ I (and my wedding guest) have ever had. She helped make my wedding run smoothly and I still have guest saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had. I highly recommend Christy and her team for any wedding or catering event!

  Richard Jones Pit BBQ catered our October 1st wedding and the on site staff and food was incredible! The staff that worked our wedding were super helpful and our guests raved about the food. The office staff was challenging to contact and took several follow ups for a response sometimes. They didn't communicate very well with us or each other and it took almost 3 weeks for them to cash our final payment check after we hand delivered it. But the day of staff and the delicious food made up for it and were great!

  Richard Jones was delicious! Setting up the tasting was super easy.
  The day of the wedding, however, the servers let our guests serve themselves. By the time the last group went to get food, they were already out of sides. We had less people show-up than RSVPed, so it was almost as if they did not prepare enough food. They also let people over-serve themselves.
