Theme Parties

Imagine your baby shower celebration in an Alice and Wonderland theme, okay maybe Cassidy in Wonderland, or Blake. You get the idea. Groups of masked mardi gras partiers, festive Mexican fiesta complete with mariachis, vibrant décor and all the fixins. Hawaiian Luau with roast pork, Hawaiian dancers, fire breathers. Click on our menu options for great ideas and have fun this year. If there’s something you’re looking for and don’t see, please fill out our Contact Us page, email or call us!

Holiday Affairs

Holidays and celebrations go together like bread and butter. Don’t forget Halloween pumpkin patches, Holiday buffets and family gatherings, all can be catered by Absolute Barbecue Company. Elaborate or casual, you decide.

Tailgate Parties

A fantastic way to reunite families for a good old fashioned family reunion. A generous boss will take his whole crew out to the ballgame. We specialize in tailgate parties and menu development featuring bite-size and easy to eat delicious foods.

Corporate Picnics

Whatever you do don’t forget the dunk tank to watch the boss splash down, or the face painter to tickle the kids’ fancy, and sack races, volleyball, bouncy houses, you name it. Oh yeah, and of course the food! Click on our menu options for great ideas.

Drop Off/Pick Up

Yes! Yes, we know about your time and how precious it is. We know you’d love to have us cater each week for you and your business or family, but time doesn’t allow. What better way to party than have Absolute Barbecue Company drop off our sizzling ribs, chicken, chili, corn breads, and our delicious brownies and desserts? Check out our menu options and Contact Us with your questions and plans.

What We Are

Absolute Barbecue Company is one of the Bay Area's largest off-premise caterers for both private parties and corporate events. Catering and event planning is not just part of what we do, it's all we do. That's what sets us apart from other barbecue companies. Our chefs cook on site at your event, providing the most tantalizing aromas and authentic barbecue atmosphere. All you need to do is show up and enjoy yourselves! We feature a true Texas style barbecue, using only the finest choice meat seasoned with hand-rubbed spices or specialty marinades and slow smoked with hickory logs. We then grill over mesquite to ensure that 'fall off the bone melt in your mouth' fresh taste that we are renowned for.


Catering By Dana, our fine dining and corporate division, specializes in non-barbecue menus. If your needs are greater than just barbecue you won't have to go anywhere else. We can customize any menu to fit your needs whether it's a breakfast meeting, an afternoon picnic, an evening wedding or nighttime cocktail party. We invite you to view our custom menus for a sample of what we can provide, or call us at 650-299-8370 for more information. An event coordinator is available to help you organize a spectacular event that's within your budget and appropriate for the occasion."
