We had Frank's Texas BBQ catered to us at work today. I'm not a big BBQ fan; however, the meal was delicious - even better when you don't have to pay for it . I inhaled my plate so fast that I couldn't breathe after - jokes! But I ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture . The briskets and ribs were cooked beautifully, well marinated but not over powering. The potato salad was tasty as well. Well-deserved a 5-s review! read more

My company has done catering from here a few times now, I think this was the third. The food was very okay. Vegan options this time that I tried were grilled portobello mushroom, veggie burger, bbq beans, and then they also provided some fruit. The mushroom was decent, juicy and well seasoned, however veggie burger was quite dry and flavorless on its own. I probably liked the beans the best. My coworkers who had the meats also felt it was just fine. They also had some bread rolls which I was told were kind of hard, not soft. read more

Great people but I thought food wasn't up to my standards. Could be better--it's just missing a little something. Mac and cheese was awful. Ribs were good, brisket was shredded and too soft, buns good, potato salad was ALMOST great, just needed more flavor. Beans were ok. I was going to hire them for an event but after tasting I went in a different direction. read more

Great service, food, and prices! Frank runs a tight ship. Food was loved by everyone.

I have used Frank's Texas BBQ for over twenty events and thought it was about time to share my thoughts on them. Whether it is a big event or small, they hit the mark every time. In the past, I have booked them for class reunions, corporate meals, family gatherings, block parties, and like last night, a few weddings. Regardless of how the rest of the event goes, I can always count on their food as always being a highlight. Tasty pulled pork, delicious tri-tip (his specialty), moist BBQ chicken and his flavorful sausages were featured for dinner. Normally, his famous ribs are part of my lineup but just couldn't do it for a wedding. Frank will create any type of menu to fit your theme, as well as budget. If you haven't experienced the Bay Area's best BBQ caterer yet, please accept my recommendation to do so at your next event. read more

We have them come over for an event and everyone loved the food! Brisket was delicious, and others ( salmon, veggie burger, chicken, ribs, potato salad, etc.) were so yummy we ate too much but it was super worth it. Very friendly staff! read more

Franks catered our event last week. The food and the service was fantastic and flawless. One taste of the BBQ sauce and I went back for more more more. They were wonderful to have catered our event. read more

Waited Almost an hour for a hot dog. Super unorganized and unapologetic. We were ridiculouslr

Five stars is not enough to rate Frank's Texas BBQ. They catered our Holiday Dinner last Sunday. Everyone raved about the food, saying it was the best they had since we've held the event - which has been many, many years! The tri-tip was cooked perfectly to medium rare and the chicken was moist and tender. The mac & cheese was a hit with everyone - especially the kids. The grilled asparagus was perfectly cooked. Everything was DELICIOUS! The crew was wonderful. They made sure all our needs were met and went above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely be using Frank's again! read more

Franks has hosted several of are parties. I highly recommend them. Their food is outstanding, the service is spot on and the delivery is always on time and done well. read more

Frank's crew has done a number of events for our family. Each time our guests are floored by the quality of the food served. Don't let the BBQ scare you; he offers a wide ranging menu and everything he prepares is delicious. In addition to the awesome food, Frank and his staff our wonderful people. They make every event memorable. Thanks, Frank. read more

Frank's is amazing!! We had him cater our wedding, and everything was perfect. Frank was great to work with start to finish, never made us feel pressured and answered all of our many questions. He helped us think of the perfect menu, even for everyone with dietary restrictions. Wow the food was delicious, everyone loved it, we have never had such amazing cedar smoked salmon and Tri-tip, absolutely incredible! In addition his professionalism and willingness to help is unmatched (he even was able to help us troubleshoot our beer taps that weren't working and came from a different vendor). Thank you Frank for everything, and helping make our perfect day so special!!! read more

I've been at large events that were catered by Frank's but picking up a bbq meal just for my family was a special treat. Chicken, pulled pork, sausage links, corn on the cob, mac & cheese, cornbread, potato salad and beans. All just for our family, no standing in a long line hoping there would still be some chicken left by the time I got to the serving table. The pickup menu said it would feed 4-5 but it was enough food to serve 6-7. Delicious food and awesome value! read more

Frank's Texas catered my In-laws anniversary, it was top notch! They were punctual and the food was perfect. Our picky eaters loved the food. We can't wait for our next event so we can call them. read more

Frank! The food was so amazing. Everyone says it was the best wedding food. Okay, maybe people have to say that about your wedding, but I had some and it was absolutely delicious. Frank is a complete professional too. He was there at every meeting and walkthrough, called us at any hour of the night for updates and to answer our questions, and was just so easy to work with. So many of our guests went back for seconds and asked if Frank owned a restaurant. They were so disappointed when I said it was catering only because they really wanted to go and have more BBQ! At our actual wedding, Frank made sure we were taken care of and well-fed. He had one person stationed near us just to make sure that we had everything that we needed. I am definitely hiring him again for any big events in my life because I can't stop dreaming about that brisket...now I'm sad he doesn't have a restaurant to go to :( read more

Had a going away party for a friend and Frank's care of it. The food was amazing At the smoker outback and all the food set up in the garage. Everybody had a great time and remarked at how well run and great the food was. Would highly recommend read more

Maybe the food is good and this was an isolated incident. But you'd think if you were preparing bbq for a large facility, like Kaiser, you'd be prepared and well stocked. Kaiser had a bbq for the employees and used Franks for the food. I'm sad to say that I was glad I brought food from home after seeing what people were eating and the complaints about dry and burned chicken. Apparently they were running out of food left and right and employees spent their whole lunch in line waiting for inedible food. read more

Frank's Texas BBQ - Chicken from one of the sandwiches. - Caterers Near Me

Worst review to date and it saddens me to inform the public. ... Today our company had Franks serve the entire company bbq in 4 different time slots to accommodate everyone throughout the company for a job well done. .... started from 6am to serve the graveyard shift, noon, and 7pm for swing..... Our company informed Franks of the time frame and head count at each time frame to expect .. Read in the hundreds for each time... They send one van, one pit, and 6 workers. ...... It's now past 1 PM and lunch started at 12.... Still no food ready to accommodate the parties. ... huge lines waiting. ... And those who got to eat said it was okay at best. Cater with these guys at your own risk.... Very disappointed: going to a meeting starving read more

WOO HOO!!!! I am thrilled to be the first to write a review for Frank's BBQ! I am actually amazed no one else has yet. I assure you, if you have ever tasted the BBQ, you would most definitely want to write a review .... after you lick your fingers of course. I ran into Frank while working on my car in San Mateo. What first caught my eye was the BBQ trailer that was being pulled behind the van. I have friends from Texas and know a full size Texas grill when I see one. This was one! I stopped him to chat and he told me the kinds of food and catering they offered. Frank himself is a really cool dude, friendly and polite. They are able to cater to most needs and are able to put together somewhat customized menus for their customers. I was working on a planned Car Meet and asked them to cater it for us in Burlingame. Frank put together a great menu that had BBQ! Ribs, Chicked, Corn, Bread, etc. It was a great menu and the pricing per plate was pretty darned fair too (Had to throw a lil Tex Slang in there!) On the day, they showed and set up and even brought plates, forks and knifes and tables for us. Something I had forgotten to plan for. Needless to say, everyone was delighted with the food. The service was great too..... it really made the event a special occasion. Thanks Frank to you and the team. Hope to call on you again! The food is darn finger lickin good - Yee Haw! (Sorry, couldn't resist). read more

My wife and I used Frank's to cater our wedding. The food was delicious. We received many comments from guests that they loved it. On top of that the staff was extremely friendly and made us feel totally at ease with the whole process. It was a pleasure going with them and would absolutely recommend to anyone planning a large party. read more

I have been working with Frank for almost ten years. He has become my go-to caterer for every venue I have including tailgating at the Oakland Coliseum (His BBQ rig is pretty cool). He is accommodating, he can make anything I ask for, his food is always amazing, there is always enough, and he takes care of all the details. What is not to love? If you are looking for a great quality caterer, I highly recommend Frank. read more

We have used Franks sauces at home. Excellent sauce makes even my wife's cooking good.

I had Frank's Texas BBQ catered my boyfriend's 30th birthday. I first contacted Frank by email through the information I got on their website. Frank emailed me right away with menu options. I got the Texas Combo BBQ and it was more food than I expected!!! Everyone at the party kept asking where I got the food from. They loved it. It was a hit!!! The menu consisted of pork ribs, tri-tip, chicken, sausage, corn, watermelon, potato salad, caesar salad, and assorted rolls! Btw, their sauce is the bomb and they do not skimp on the dressing for their caesar salad, it was dressed just the way it should be! Payment was easy and done before the party, so on day of I did not have to worry. They delivered the food a little earlier (to me that is on time). I was so busy with setting up the party that I did not get a chance to chat with Frank and his crew. But they came, quickly introduced themselves and set up the food on the table. Quick and easy. Frank answered all of my emails/calls in a timely manner. That to me is a first sign of a great business is their responsiveness. Then after the party Frank emailed me a follow-up asking how everything went. That is great customer service! I will definitely use them again for another event. I am a big fan!!! read more

Frank's Texas BBQ - A lot of food! - Caterers Near Me

Frank's is really as good as it gets. I've been doing events for a while, and this, folks, is how it's done. Frank, the owner, is as awesome as his BBQ sauce. - He worked with me at the last minute (on a SUNDAY!) for a lunch I was planning the next day (that was all my bad, because it hit me on Sunday that I hadn't finalized anything). - He called me to work through the menus, and even offered to throw in a couple of garden burgers for free to help our one vegetarian in the office. - The next day, he showed up with Tony, who was super nice and helpful too, and they unloaded and set-up everything perfectly and on time. We even got to keep some Frank's BBQ servers AND some of his BBQ sauce. - We ordered two meats (Pork Ribs and Southwestern Chicken) with Potato Salad, Caesar Salad and Cowboy Beans. Usually, cowboy beans are too sweet, but these had a nice kick to them. The potato salad was one of the best I've ever tasted. And the meat....hold on, I'm drooling...the MEAT. To die for. - It was $19.95/person. They added the 18% gratuity, which is fair and pretty typical for catering businesses. - EVERYONE LOVED IT! They kept raving about the food, and told me that we HAD to use them again. I couldn't agree more. - He also followed up the next day to check on how everything went. This is how customer service should be done, this is how you run a catering biz. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! read more

Outstanding food, customer service and price for the selection and quality of what Frank's serves. We had ribs, pulled pork and brisket. All very good but thought the ribs were a stand out. For sides had grilled vegetables, cornbread, beans, caesar salad, coleslaw and rolls to make sliders with. Vegetables were perfectly grilled, the corn bread was excellent, beans were a little spicy and tastier than your average beans and the salad was good. If you need a caterer and are considering BBQ look no further. Just call Frank. read more

Wow! Frank's Texas BBQ MADE our company picnic! Everyone was so blown away by the food, especially their cedar plank salmon. The crew was right on time, did a wonderful presentation and cooked everything fresh right in front of us. I highly recommend Frank's for your next big gathering. read more

We hired Frank for an employee appreciation party and he exceeded all expectations! We had 20 people, but had enough food for probably 30-35. The meat was cooked medium, as requested, the chicken and sausage great. Everyone loved the beans also. The Cesar salad had very tasty dressing, not the typical store brand. Overall very organized and aims to please the client. Our employees were very impressed and felt appreciated. His price was very reasonable too. Highly recommend for your next event. read more

We have used Frank's BBQ service before and it was equally wonderful this time. We had a small party so they brought the prepared food and carved the meats fresh for us here. They are friendly and professional. The food was terrific. Everyone commented on the different flavorings of the trip tip, chicken and ribs. There was a ton left over so people could take some home! Highly recommend. read more

My company just held two large events for customers in the Bay Area. Frank catered them both. I get very nervous when we are outsourcing anything that has to do with customer expectations. What a pleasant experience. From the quality and flavor of the food to the attentiveness of his crew. They attended to every detail right down to the waters and the soda. When more guests arrived then were anticipated they covered it without anyone ever noticing. In today's world where the normal is subpar service and just enough to get by on attitude, Frank's is a very refreshing experience. He exceeded our customers expectations and that is tough to do at times! A huge round of applause and thanks from the team at IMC read more

Our review is a couple of months late, but Frank and team catered our wedding in Lake Tahoe on August 17th 2013, and it was amazing! From the initial consultation (food samples in his kitchen) to the special day, everything was great. With so many things going on while planning a wedding, it helps having an amazing company and owner like Frank involved. The food was perfect, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the BBQ grills in the front yard with amazing food coming out made our backyard wedding much more authentic and fun. Thank you for everything Frank...and thank you for the left overs;), Bryan and Brittany read more

Catered for the San Francisco APWU on 12/16/16. They said the food was gonna be ready by 9 am and it was, as promised. They were out there early in the morning grilln it up so it was fresh off the presses(grill)and of course delicious. Staff was amazing and friendly, all smiles. Thanks Franks. Me tryin to rhyme. read more

Hosted a graduation party and had Frank's Texas BBQ cater our party. Everything went flawless from the time they delivered the food and set-up to the time they came back and picked everything up. By the time we returned from the graduation, they had everything set-up and ready to go for our guests. The food was delicious. All our guests raved about how delicious the food was. Our guests went back for seconds and we still had plenty of food. We had Tri Tip and Chicken along with roasted vegetables, cowboy beans and potato salad. We will definite cater again with Frank's Texas BBQ. read more

I wish Frank could cook us food every night (and so did our guests)! Frank not only knows how to cook some amazing food, but he knows how to make you have an easy experience. He's very proactive, friendly, and has such an amazing team. His team and him went above and beyond to ensure that we could enjoy our wedding and we can't thank him enough. Multiple tables mentioned that they overheard people talking about how delicious and tasty the food was and there was none leftover! We had over purchased the food and ended up with not one ounce of food left. Frank and team - THANK YOU for everything from the bottom of our hearts. Food was the most important thing at our wedding. Thank you for making our wedding. read more

Frank catered our daughter's college graduation from Cal Poly and a celebration of her acceptance into KSU Vet School. He did not disappoint! The food was beyond delicious and everyone was asking me for his contact information so they could book their party with him as well! I highly recommend Frank and his crew. They were meticulous as well and when the party was over they cleaned up and left our kitchen and serving area so clean as well. read more

If you're looking to have BBQ for your party or event, I can highly recommend Frank's. We had about 85 people for a party at a park. Frank was immediately responsive to our initial outreach, setting up a date, letting us know what he needed at the party site and working with us to make some adjustments to the menu. Basically, he was a professional. Closer to the event, we made a request about food prep due to food allergies of some of the guests, and Frank was most accommodating and totally understood what we wanted. The day of the event, his crew was there on time and was totally self-sufficient. That is, he didn't need to bother us about anything. Food was ready, right on time. For the mains, we got hot links, tri-tip, pulled pork, chicken and ribs. For the sides we got beans, grilled veggies, cole slaw, potato salad and Caesar salad. All were great, and that's not just my opinion -- we asked a bunch of our guests who wouldn't be afraid to offer a negative opinion, and not one had a bad thing to say about the food. Seriously, good eats. Thanks, Frank and crew, for making our party a success. read more

Frank catered my 40th birthday party providing the most delicious, fresh food to 80 of my friends and family. It was a Mardi Gras theme that included perfectly cooked Cajun Chicken and tri-tip with whiskey pepper steak sauce, red beans and rice with andouille sausage that was fantastic and a creole potato salad that was out of this world. He was very easy to work with, professional and providing recommendations to make the planning process easy. We had discussed him making the food and bringing it over but he checked out the location and was able to cook onsite. EVERYONE commented on how delicious the food was. I will definitely hire him again in the future! read more

Outstanding! I couldn't be happier with our choice for hiring Frank's Texas BBQ for my daughter's baptism. The staff was outstanding and very helpful and the food was such a hit, we were even receiving phone calls that night from people who attended that they were still full hours after they had left and how amazing the food and service was. We will be hiring them again for any upcoming parties or future ones! 2 Thumbs Up from us! read more

I love the mixture of flavors in the meats. The spice, the tang, and the sweetness in some of them. If anyone needs a caterer I would suggest Frank's Texas BBQ. read more

Went to a party Saturday in Burlingame that they catered. Awesome food and I'm picky! I would be curious as to if they'd consider mailing me some sauce? Great chicken, corn, ribs, and I don't even like ribs. Highly recommended. read more

Thank you Frank and team for the amazing catering job for our party! Every single guest raved about the food, and it was a big hit with adults and kids. We ordered tri-tip, chicken, corn on the cob, grilled vegetables, and watermelon. All of the food was high-quality and prepared to perfection. The service was on-point and on-time, and the staff was very friendly and professional. Thank you for providing us with all of the supplies we needed to go along with the food as well, including delicious homemade sauces. We will definitely be using your service again, and I have a feeling our guests will too! read more
