Customer Reviews
“It’s in the Sauce” catering has now done three reunions for our veterans group, and Wayne and his family continue to knock it out of the park every time. There are no fancy contracts, no drama, and no surprises—just a handshake, a date, and a headcount. I tell Wayne when we’re eating and how many mouths we need to feed, and he shows up on time, fully prepared, and ready to deliver. That kind of reliability is rare, and it means everything when you’re feeding a large group. The food is consistently excellent, the service is smooth, and the whole operation reflects pride, experience, and family values. You can tell this is a family-owned business that genuinely cares about doing things right. When you find people you can trust completely, you stick with them—and that’s exactly why we’ll
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review – It’s In The Sauce BBQ It’s In The Sauce BBQ absolutely knocked it out of the park for the 50th USS Paul F. Foster Reunion! From start to finish, the food, service, and professionalism were top-tier. The brisket was tender and packed with flavor, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect, and the sides were seasoned just right. You could truly taste the care and craftsmanship in every dish. The sauce? Legendary — rich, balanced, and unforgettable. Beyond the food, the team was organized, punctual, and handled a large veteran reunion crowd with excellence and respect. They helped make this milestone event memorable for shipmates who served decades ago, and that means a lot. If you’re looking for authentic, high-quality BBQ with outstanding service, It’s In The Sauce BBQ
Amazing amazing. Amazing. I had the turkey legs special with the barbecue beans a peach cobbler, and every bite of food was the new experience. The smokiness and juiciness of the turkey leg was amazing with an outer Chris skin was I’ve never experienced before the beans were a perfect texture not too sweet not too hot. Had a nice chunks of meat inside of them now to the best part of the peach cobbler, heaven heaven, it was not too sweet, not too tart. The batter was not burnt. The peaches had a wonderful freshness taste to them. The staff was amazing, amazingly, polite and courteous. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys barbecue and enjoys just that good old southern food.
It most certainly is all about the sauce! Drove 45 minutes and man did it deliver! Hard to find decent BBQ around these pockets of CA, so what a pleasant surprise it was to stumble upon this gem. Definitely worth the trip. You can tell everything is made with the utmost love and that’s reflected in the lovely owners running the operation. If you’re looking for some solid cue, you have to check out this joint!
Just to to start this off on the right note, it's a maximum of five stars well this place deserves 10 stars. Best BBQ I've had in a very long long time!!! I ordered the 3 meat combo plate : tri-tip, brisket, and hot link. This came with 2 side dishes which I ordered BBQ beans and Mac and cheese. I got a ton of the most tender meat I've ever had!!! I can't say enough about the speed and friendliness of the employees. I will be back very soon for my next dose of BBQ and I recommend everyone give them a try.
