CV BBQ helped us put on a FIRST CLASS Event!There are not enough words for the service, treatment, and of course the quality of the food. The team was on time and served our 300 guests quickly. Our guests raved about the food all evening and we are now being asked for the contact. NEW BUSINESS is coming Sean! The next day we warmed up the left over food and it was still as awesome as the wedding day. Note: you must know how to warm food correctly. DO NOT USE THE MICROWAVE PEOPLE! If you are looking for a great BBQ caterer, look no further. CV BBQ will hook you up and your guests will go home happy. Thank you Sean and the CV BBQ team. We couldn't ask for anything more. We hope to see you again soon.For those who are wondering, the prices and fees are great. Did i mention the wonderful quality of food you will receive?! Hire CV BBQ More...

Wow! I'm very picky about bbq. Not too sweet. Not too spicy. This was perfect! And the meat melted in my mouth. The potato salad was exactly to my liking. Not sweet, not too onion-y, yet very flavorful and full of fresh, crispy chopped celery. This place has homemade done right! More...

Wonderful!Do you want a great party with the best bbq around have CV BBQ cater your event. They catered my daughters wedding this weekend and everyone raved about it. The rental company I hired for busing etc fell short and CV BBQ stepped up without asking if I needed help they were amazing. We had tri tip and chicken they were so tender and the macaroni and cheese is really good I will definitely use them again! More...

I used CVBBQ for my 250+ person wedding and have nothing but amazing things to say about this catering company. I myself plan events and have very high standards for event vendors and take my reviews very seriously. CVBBQ is exceptional. The owner, Sean is super professional, enthusiastic and helpful coordinating the perfect menu for your guests. His staff arrived on time, professionally dressed and cooked a mean bbq. The food was the #1 crowd pleaser at my wedding and I am still hearing about it after my wedding. FIVE STARS !!!! More...

Pulled pork sandwich needed sauce in my opinion. Althought the pork was nice and shredded and moist. Sides are very small portions its like I was having more a sample from Costco instead of a side. The half sandwich, side, and drink cost me $10. The 1/2 rack of ribs on fridays was delicious though. Has a somewhat great smoke line pulled off bone and good smoke flavor. I would return but try new menu items hopefully I have a better experience next time. More...

CV BBQ catered our small wedding of 40 guests this week. The food was fantastic!We ordered boneless grilled chicken, tri tip beef, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes and caesar salad. The meat was so juicy and tender, and the two different sauces that came with the beef were a hit. The mashed potatoes were so smooth, creamy and flavourful. Honestly the best catered meal I've ever had. I just wish we'd order more of the mashed potatoes- I'm still thinking about them. More...

I can't say enough good things about Sean and his team at CV BBQ. They catered our wedding last weekend at the Living Desert and it was perfect in every way! We met Sean earlier this year and he allowed us to try a bunch of different things before making our final decisions and he also was so fast with getting back to us about any little question or change. He is so nice and easy going while being on top of everything and making sure your day is perfect. The pricing is amazing considering all you get-we fed 186 people and people couldn't stop talking about the food!! Literally, people came up to us while we were eating to tell us how many servings of chipotle mac and cheese they had-haha. We also had a ton of leftovers which was great. Would 100% recommend them to anyone having a wedding/event in the desert area and come back for lunch at their new location! Easiest wedding decision ever. Thank you Sean and CV BBQ!!!! More...

CV BBQ catered our wedding in Cathedral City and they could not have been more perfect. They are one of the more affordable catering options in the desert and their service and food is fantastic. Everyone raved about the food and we had leftovers for the next 2 days that STILL tasted good. Sean was so helpful during the planning process and always responded promptly. You will not regret hiring CV for your event. We will be visiting their new restaurant every time we go back to the desert. :) More...

Highly Recommend. CV catered our wedding out in Yucca Valley and we were not disappointed. Having not tasted the food prior to our day we had to go on the reviews of recommendations of others. We had lots of people coming in from around the world and all over the country - and a lot of guests with sophisticated palates and we got so many compliments from our guests about how great the food was. The team were super friendly, flexible, stress-free and the food was presented and plated really nicely. Highly recommend the chipotle Mac and cheese, the tri-tip, the guacamole and even the roast veggies were delicious. We were a little nervous as we had about 20 guests out of 110 that were vegetarian but they were super happy and satisfied as well. Very happy we went with CV BBQ More...

I just want to begin by saying that this business definitely deserves all the five star ratings. I asked the owner of this company to cater my father's 75th surprise birthday party two weekends ago. I had spent many hours online searching nearby locations for good quality caterers and found that they are very hard to come by. I live in Arizona and was trying to plan his party from a state away. Parties are already hard to plan, but they are even harder to plan when you are doing it from a different state.Lets start off with the fact that I picked this company only based off of their reviews and Sean's amazing communication. Sean called me almost immediately after I sent my email (which I found is rare in this business lately). Throughout the entire process leading up to the event, he was super easy to get in touch with by phone and email. He responded to my emails within a day and made the process of making changes to our menu or party size very easy. He was very kind, easy to work with, and understanding. I usually would taste test food before booking a caterer, but given that I lived so far away, I didn't really have that option. I was really nervous about hiring a company I had never heard of or tried myself. However, I read the reviews, talked my plans over with Sean, and quickly took a leap of faith. I can't tell you how relieved I was to have this company take over the responsibility of preparing a meal for 60 people. They definitely did not disappoint. All the guests were so impressed and said it was the best BBQ food they had ever had. My brother also called me recently and expressed that guests are still raving about the food two weeks later. He said that guests keep asking him where we found the caterer and how they can get in touch with him. My father LOVED the food and was so impressed that BBQ catering could be so high quality and tasty. Most importantly, the food was amazing. It was very flavorful, the meats were juicy (not dried out), freshly made, and plentiful. We never ran out of food and people were returning for seconds. There are many selections of food to choose from and there are even options for vegetarians which you don't really think about in regards to a BBQ. We chose the ribs, chicken, tri tip, chipotle mac and cheese, fresh green salad, deviled potato salad, mixed grilled veggies, dinner rolls. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and even have considered one day using them for my wedding! THANK YOU SEAN and CV BBQ for coming all the way out to help make my Dad's surprise party such a huge success. He loved it!! You were all so kind and professional, and the food really was impressive. You have a great business, and I hope you will still be around for future events!!!Taylor More...

My wife and I booked CV BBQ for our wedding of 130 guests and wow! we could not have been happier. The food was amazing: the hardcore BBQ enthusiasts were effusive in their praise, comparing it to their longtime favorites (Franklin BBQ, et al), while everyone else, even the vegetarians, found a lot to enjoy. The staff were all extremely friendly and efficient. We didn't even notice the clean-up, it all happened so quickly and quietly. They also didn't ding us with any hidden charges or fees, everything was above board. Love these guys, I will definitely recommend them for other events at our place. More...

OMG!!! I had the best chicken sandwich I've had since I moved out here from Los Angeles! My son had the brisket and sausage plate, which was also just as delicious, and I'm not a big beef fan! But in my opinion the BBQ beans........are HEAVEN! I could eat them as a meal! Everyday. For the rest of my life. Just remember to get there early if you want pork (which was my first choice), it was gone by lunchtime when we went!Hands down it's worth making it there, even with their limited hours! More...

My experience with CV BBQ Catering and Sean was excellent! My situation is a bit different as we had to cancel services due to personal reasons. However, Sean was incredibly kind and flexible in giving us back our deposit given that we gave him plenty of notice in order to secure someone else for our date. We signed a contract and per the terms he did not have to do that for us, but he did. He was very understanding to our situation. Even leading up to booking the services, he was very patient and prompt on answering all of my questions. Always seemed calmed and poised via email. While we did not get to taste the food (which I am very sad about), I am very impressed with the level of professionalism they offer. More...

Today’s my second time going to C.V. BBQ and I must admit, they are an extra special treat in the Coachella Valley. I’ve been known to jump into my Car and drive for miles for some good “Q”. But now, I only have to drive down the street. Today, I had the Chicken, Pulled Pork, Sausage (gratis, complements of the Owner) and Tri-Tip and I also had the Mac & Cheese and Corn. What an amazing meal, I’m still full. The Chicken was moist and flavorful. The Pulled Pork was absolutely amazing, well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Sausage was huge with flavors and just the right bite of spice. The Tri-Tip was to die for! Cooked perfectly and also well-seasoned. All of the meats were cooked and seasoned so well, that sauce wasn’t needed but it was a value add bonus. The Corn and Mac & Cheese were also on point. I was so happy with my Meal…. After my meal, I had a chance to chat with the Owner (Shaun and his Wife). Very nice people. We chatted about his Santa Maria style of cooking his Meats and Shaun was nice enough to let me sample the Chicken Quesadilla and the Taco’s. Thank you again Shaun!!! The Staff is also very friendly, and the Owners are very, very special! If you are ever in the Downtown Indio area on Monday & Wednesday during Lunch, make C.V. BBQ a priority! Call first to verify the hours... More...

We used CV BBQ to cater our wedding in Pioneertown. For our wedding, we inquired with quite a few types of caterers from food trucks to chefs. I found CV BBQ on yelp, and we're so glad we chose them. From my first contact with Sean to after our wedding day, CV BBQ was a dream to work with. They have excellent customer service. They are very reasonably priced. And their food is AMAZING. What more could you ask for in a caterer?! Our guests cannot stop talking about how great the food was. We're so happy we found CV BBQ!!! I want to have another wedding, just so we can hire them again. More...
