Worry & Hassle free

At RSBBQ, we offer the option of providing plates and cutlery for your meal. If you prefer to use your own or collaborate with a local rental company, that’s absolutely fine. Rest assured, our team will efficiently clear all tables after the meal and ensure the items are returned to their rental boxes. If you’re in search of a rental company for your event needs, we wholeheartedly recommend Alexis Party Rental in Santa Cruz.

We ordered brisket & chicken for 225 people for our wedding and to this day, our friends and family keep talking about how much they loved the brisket.
