Backwoods Bbq Catering - Corona

My husband's work party paid a deposit and everything. This company did not show and we were forced to get pizza. Really sad we were very excited and already had paid the deposit but they had another event. We had been emailing them for months. One star most definitely. Fair warning they will not show up to your event even with deposit

I just hired Backwoods BBQ to cater my wedding of 140 guests. I was so excited to have them cater our wedding for many reasons! They came highly recommended by so many people. And when I first spoke to Steve on the phone I really thought, Man! This guy knows his stuff! I was stoked! I ranted and raved to all my guests about the amazing food we were going to have! 3 meats, spicy tri tip chili and 7 cheese killer macaroni and cheese! I changed from the basic option because beans are not my fav. Especially when you have those other great options! When I called to confirm the date, guest count and menu i was so excited! As soon as Steve received his deposit I felt ghosted! I called, left voicemail, sent multiple text messages regarding the menu and appetizers we'd like to add! He never responded until I had my mom call from a different number. Whatever.. we kept the reservation. Steve told me on the Thursday before my Saturday wedding that he'd be here at 4:30pm for set up. The day finally comes and 5:30 rolls around. Wedding is about to start. And he's still not here!!!! No call, no heads up he's running behind. He gets here, and yea food is ready on time. No problem there. But I cannot believe how unprofessional and downright RUDE he was to my mother in law. (The one who paid for the catering) once he arrived. Who shows up late and then has the audacity to be rude?! He followed her around, barking orders, she was so offended and so stressed by him. I had multiple guests tell me of the arguing going on between him and his staff through the serving period. He was NOT FRIENDLY OR PLEASANT. So the grand entrance finally takes place and my groom and I sit down to eat the meal I had been so excited about for months. What do I find? A plate half full of beans. Two kinds of beans. No mac n cheese. No spicy tri tip chili. Look.. I'm not a picky person.. this was just my only real big request. NO BEANS! I also don't believe we should be paying for food that was not delivered. He clearly did not write anything down when we booked him. I reached out afterwards expressing my frustrations and once again his arrogance was astounding! Zero accountability. Zero attempt at making anything right or apologizing. So now I am here writing the review I hoped I would not have to leave. Food was good.. but the service was TERRIBLE!!!!!!!! If you use them make damn sure and well you get everything in writing. Also be sure customer service is not important to you. I would never consider using them again or referring them to anyone I know. You can find the same quality food at MUCH MUCH CHEAPER PRICES.

Absolutely Outstanding Service and Value!!! Let me tell you that Steve and his team deliver an amazing BBQ from beginning to end! They show up right on time, provide the best tasting BBQ you have ever had and serve it in a 5 star presentation! I have hired catering for our events before but I have never heard so many positive comments as I do when I hire Steve and his Backwoods BBQ team! This is our second time using them and will be our go to each time. If you are looking for a great partner to cater your next event look no further! You cannot beat his quality and prices. By the way, he's a heck of a nice guy. Backwoods BBQ is a home run for your next event!!!

We had Steve and his team cater for us on our wedding during covid and he was so professional and patient and let me tell you the food was a hit! Everyone went back for 2nds and 3rds. I would use them again for any future catering we may do. The tri tip and chicken was awesome and the beans,Mac and cheese and potato salad were a huge hit

Steve and his team were amazing! We had a small wedding and we had the pleasure of having backwoods cater it and it was so delicious. Tri tip and chicken were bomb! The Mac and cheese and potato salad were a hit and the beans everyone couldn't stop talking about his homemade beans. Thank you again Steve for your patience and working with us during covid. You all are very professional and We would totally use you again for future events.
