~About Us ~

Great Tasting Southern BBQ & California Fresh Cuisine!

Founded in 2003, Papa Lee's BBQ Catering was created as a result of a long-time passion for making Southern BBQ that we soon discovered people love to eat!!! Papa Lee's trademark is BBQ that is tender, spicy, sweet and tasty - Southern style.

Papa Lee's menu includes several items based on family recipes handed down from one generation to the next and some new ones, too, just to keep it fresh. We do Southern BBQ and California Fusion (healthy, hearty, tasty foods). It’s real, it's good, it's good old-fashioned comfort food that will make you smile. Once you taste it you'll know it's real Southern-style food.

All meats are prepared with Papa Lee’s special custom rub and gently slow-smoked over mesquite for hours. Then, at just the right time, Papa Lee gently coats each piece with his special, one-of-a-kind BBQ sauce. It's the sauce, it's the seasonings, it's Papa Lee's TLC touch and it’s all custom made for your event.

We care about all the food we prepare, how it’s served, and hope that you will enjoy every bite as much as we enjoy preparing and catering your event. You pick the menu, we do the rest. No muss, no fuss, it's done. Papa Lee's - Rain or Shine, it's always Right on Time!

We cater for groups of all sizes, big or small, we are happy to cater for y’all.

Can you afford Papa Lee's Southern BBQ? Can you afford not to? There are all types of BBQ joints to choose from, but, there's only one Papa Lee; the man, the myth, the legend, making soulful, real-deal BBQ and doing custom catering since 2003 - serving the best, authentic Southern BBQ, that's custom-made with old-fashioned TLC, served family-style with Southern hospitality, and a menu that offers sunny, fun California-fresh options, as well. 

"This was the BEST BBQ catering I have ever had. The staff was SO pleasant, the food was outstanding and their attention to detail was awesome!...

"Beef and chicken dishes were extremely juicy, which was so surprising for buffet style food. They just kept cooking and cooking while everyone ate and the food just kept coming out and ready-to-serve."
