After scouring the internet and getting quotes from a few vendors. I decided to use DRJ Catering for a corporate event. From the very beginning, I knew I was in good hands. David and Regina were very easy to work with and communicative about the event. I decided on the traditional BBQ with a seafood buffet as an opening course. The food was a hit, especially the ribs and wings! David's assistants went above and beyond their duties with helping to clear dishes and the garbage during the event and bringing everything to the dumpster which was a bit away from the event site. I could not recommend DRJ Catering more and will definitely use them for future event! read more

I do not have pictures this year because we were too busy eating. We had a pig roast for an engagement party. We meet the brides family for the first time and bonded over meat. This is the 3rd time I have used David for a BBQ and he always delivers. The staff is so friendly and so easy to work with. You really just book them and they do the rest. No worries! Definitely the best pig in town but order more than you need so you have leftovers. Our family ate everything. read more

Absolutely fantastic!! David, Regina and Crew were outstanding!

DRJ provided an incredibly memorable Luau experience for our Daughter's graduation party. David and Regina's communication, punctuality and attention to detail are second to none. From initial contact to VERY detailed menu planning to set up and execution every question answered with patience and detail. The day of the party, the team arrived ahead of schedule and hit the ground running. Appetizer prep and pig roast set up started immediately. The agreed upon timeline was managed without a hitch. After passed apps, attention turned to dinner prep. DRJ provided a tented luau themed buffet set up that did not disappoint! The food, service, and atmosphere provided was all fantastic! At the end of the evening, the team's attention to detail and the state of the property cannot be understated. At the time the party was complete, you could not tell they were ever there with the exception of the smiles on our guests faces. The team was impeccable with the cleaning and maintenance of the spaces at our home. In closing, we cannot wait for another occasion to bring DRJ back! read more

I had Dave do a full cow roast for me at my wedding and it was hands down the best catering choice by far. Out of all the caterers I contacted, he was the only one capable of doing a cow roast, something rather uncommon. However, Dave willingly took on the challenge and went above and beyond to make sure it came out perfect. The meal was around noon and the cow had to be cooked overnight. Dave pulled an all nighter and stayed in the parking lot monitoring the cow's temperature throughout the night as it cooked. If this doesn't speak volumes about his commitment to catering excellence, then I don't know what would. I was so thoroughly impressed by his work ethic and commitment to perfecting his craft. If there is one person you can trust with your catering needs - it's Dave. At the wedding itself, the cow roast was the crown of the meal. Absolutely all the guests loved it and everyone complimented it - as well as the sauce! It was unique, novel, and delicious. I cannot over recommend Dave and DRJ. As a person, he is personable, relatable, easy to talk to, and happy to advise on how to best serve and present the food. I will certainly be going back to him for future catering needs. Highly recommended. It's too bad this review is capped at 5 stars, because he deserves more. read more

On behalf of the Class of '66, Arthur L. Johnson High School, Clark, NJ, I would like to thank DRJ Catering for making our COLLECTIVE 70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY a memorable affair. The appetizers were excellent; tasty, filling, and served by a helpful, friendly wait-staff. The Bar-B-Q was beyond exceptional; Mr. Piggy was succulent and tender and the presentation was right out of a luau! We ate 'til we dropped and still had enough to send everyone home with a large container of pork.The sides were dee-lish and the perfect compliment to the meal.I cannot believe anyone had room for fruit salad and ice cream, but we managed to get that down, as well. David is a real gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. Regina and the rest of the staff were congenial and accommodating. I would use their services again in a heart-beat! read more

I'm excited to see these guys on my beloved Yelp! because I have used DRJ multiple times for events at my mother's home in NJ. From pig roasts to bbq to fancy dinners with walk-around service, DRJ has got it all covered. The last time we used them was this summer for an outdoor bbq. They rolled up with this great smoker filled with tons of delicious meat. We had amazing ribs with the most spectacular dry-rub. The meat was falling off the bone with a great smokey flavor. We also had pulled pork. Tender, juicy, and deeeeeelish! The smokey flavor didn't kill the sweet flavor of the pork at all and I just couldn't get enough. Add a little bbq sauce, and it was heaven! Finally we had the smoked brisket. I like their brisket because instead of being sliced like most smoked brisket, it was more chunked. I think this kept it much more moist than other brisket's I've had and made for soem great flavor. The "bark" on this meat was great and the meat was to die for. Combine all of that smokey goodness with some coleslaw, potato salad, and fresh Jersey corn that they brought, and it sure was one hell of a feast! I can't recommend DRJ enough...for any type of event you're having. Oh, and every once in a while I'm lucky enough to catch them at one of the local seafood festivals...they have the best oysters and AMAZING softshell crabs! So keep your eyes open and make sure to book with them early so you can get your date! read more
