Big Earl’s BBQ catered our 60-person wedding welcome party in Redwood Valley, and we couldn’t have been happier. From the very beginning, communicating with Earl was warm, easy, and genuinely lovely. We started with a BBQ tasting months in advance and even brought along our pickiest food-critic friends to try the menu—it was a hit and sealed the deal for us.

We served tri-tip, chicken, ribs, green salad, mac and cheese, and meatless sliders for our vegetarian guests, and everything was delicious. The BBQ sauce was perfectly balanced—sweet and tangy with just the right amount of kick. More than just great food, the meal and Earl himself made the experience feel comforting and homey, the kind of meal that naturally brings people together—like sitting down for a big Sunday family dinner.

On the day of the event, Earl and his team arrived on time and had everything set up and looking beautiful. Earl was incredibly kind and personable, and once guests started eating, he walked around offering seconds and chatting with everyone. Not only was the food a standout, but Earl himself was too. Highly Recommend!

I just wanted to share that I had booked Big earls Bbq for my son’s rehearsal dinner. Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. Earl was wonderful to work with the cancellation. Although we didn’t get to have our event and eat, they’re wonderful food that I’ve heard so much about. I would definitely recommend them based on the Customer service that I received from them. Very nice very personable. I hope to use them in the future!
