We had Tom cater our daughter's engagement party last night! What an amazing experience beginning to end! Tom was catering a party that was full of people who BBQ and smoke meat and they were all so impressed. The sides were all outstanding - especially the baked beans! The service was on-time and Tom & his daughter's were all so friendly. They made the party hassle- and stress-free for me! I would 100% recommend them!
Lisa L.7/10/2022Tom provided catering for our son's first birthday party. Let me start by saying, the BBQ and sides were the best I've ever had. From the beginning, the communication was great and there were lots of options to choose from. Although we chose to have our guests serve themselves buffet style, Tom showed up early and provided us with a nice set-up including hot chaffing dishes that he prepped prior to bringing in the BBQ. We were very impressed with his professionalism and care in getting our event set up. We ordered the Tri-Tip, Pulled Chicken, Mac & Cheese, Pineapple Coleslaw, and Corn Casserole. Every dish was fresh, delicious and favorfull. We appreciate that Tom followed up after our event to make sure everything was satisfactory. We will definitely be ordering Tom's Smokin Hot BBQ for our future events. The only thing is I wish we had taken pictures of the food...next time!
Ashley G.4/20/2022We booked Tom's Smoking BBQ Pitstop for a company event and it was the BEST sides we had ever had!! We only ordered his sides as the company decided to grill their own meat. Not only was Tom on time we went above and beyond to make sure his food stayed hot for us as we were still cooking our meats. Toms Banana Pudding is the best I've ever had, every employee in the company raved about his sides but most of all his banana pudding. We will make sure to use Tom's BBQ Pitstop for future events. Tom your service and food was superb!!
Gatx C.3/21/2022I booked Tom's Smokin' Hot BBQ Pitstop for my daughter's wedding 2-22-22. Tom was easy to work with, friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered food for 100 people. He called me in a timely manner to see how my wedding preparations were going and if any changes needed to be made. The day before the wedding a large Winter storm was coming causing snow and freezing temperatures ( 19deg) to our outdoor mountain venue. Tom was calm and assured me he has never been late and had chains. True to his word, he arrived early and ready to serve! The winds kicked up and we ended up heading inside. Tom served generous portions to our happy guests. I kept hearing how amazing his brisket and beans were! The meat was moist and his homemade sauce EPIC! We gave out containers of leftovers to take home to our guests. My daughter and her husband took some leftovers on their honeymoon! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tom and his FABULOUS BBQ!
Christine S.2/24/2022We had Tom's smokin hot barbecue cater my brother's celebration of life. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I was nervous about the distance they would have to come, and possibly fight traffic but they made sure to be in place early and set up way in advance. The food was kept hot, and excellent! We had three meats and three sides. That was by far the best brisket I have ever had. And the mac & cheese is some thing I still dream about. We had an entire city of police officers at the celebration of life, and many of them could not stay for the reception, so Tom made sure to get "To Go" containers that would not spill so that they could partake in all the yummy food as my brother would have wanted. I would recommend this catering service for any big event. And I had many people comment on how good the food is and they wanted Tom's information in case they needed to hire him in the future as well. Thank you, Tom, for a stress-free, delicious, professional service of excellent food!
Sharyn M.2/04/2022I was searching for someone who can cater my HUSBAND'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE event, so Yelp I go, and found Tom's Smokin' Hot BBQ. I was hesitant to negotiate any business deals over the phone or via internet, so I started reading all the reviews and viewed pictures of all of Tom's wedding and special events, with no doubt, I reached out to Tom and started planning my husband's special event. I am so happy I did for Tom was so easy to deal with via text/email, going through the contract and finalizing the financial agreement. Finding and honest, reliable, dependable, capable and deliverance of service is hard to find or even in person-that's Tom. So, I placed my trust in Tom and had my menu planned; (meat) spare ribs, trip tip, and shredded chicken, (sides) cheesy potatoes, southern corn bread casserole, pineapple coleslaw, jalapeño bbq beans-every dish and sides were a hit to all of my 80 guests, and to go containers for more. The individualized menu cards and sign was on point. Tom, thank you so much for making my husband's special event much more memorable and fun. Until the next time, take care. Don't hesitate to call Tom, you won't be disappointed.
Katrina E.1/20/2022I booked Tom's Smokin Hot BBQ Pitstop for a company party and could not be happier! selection of food was great, Tom was very helpful and informative and sent me a proposal quickly. On the day of my event he was on time with great food that all my employees loved. I highly recommend Tom's for any events and will not hesitate to use him again.
Kirk A.12/14/2021I am not usually a huge fan of pulled pork. Most places leave it pretty bland and you need to drown it in barbecue sauce. Not Tom! The pork had so much flavor and was smoked so nice I did not even need a drop of barbecue sauce to enjoy it! I can't wait for him to host local pop-ups so I can try all of his other items!
Candace G.11/09/2021Thank you Tom for your excellent service! I can't thank you enough for everything! The food was absolutely the best! We received so many compliments about how good it was! Your catering my daughters wedding was the perfect choice! Thank you for being a important part of Tommy & Emily's day!Nancy Smith
Nancy S.6/07/2021Thank you Tom for your excellent service! I can't thank you enough for everything! The food was absolutely the best! We received so many compliments about how good it was! Your catering my daughters wedding was the perfect choice! Thank you for being a important part of Tommy & Emily's day!Nancy Smith
Nancy S.6/07/2021A couple months before our daughter's first communion, my husband and I were discussing possible catering options. We wanted something different than your average "taco guy" which was our go-to. "What about BBQ?" my husband suggested. After a quick search, all I saw on the headlines was "Toms Smokin Hot BBQ"I'm very picky about planning an event. It's definitely a passion for me as I like to create experiences and I want everything to be perfect. I reached out to Tom via Instagram and he responded, letting me know he had an opening for my date, SCORE! At first the details of my event were foggy as we had to abide by our church's ever-changing schedule . Tom's was more than accommodating and even changed his kitchen time to make sure our food arrived hot. I ordered drop-off catering of 2 meats (chicken + tri-tip) 3 sides (Mac n Cheese, corn casserole + baked beans) , and added peach cobbler. Upon drop off, Tom even made sure that our food was properly in the chafing dishes with the warmers. I truly appreciated that!! It's the small things that matter. When we announced that everyone could eat, we were bombarded with compliments after compliments. "Can I get his card"..."give me his number!" ..."this is seriously a the best BBQ ever!"....by far the favorites (it's hard to pick because everything was PHENOMENAL) were the tri-tip, corn casserole, Mac + peach cobbler. It was very satisfying seeing our guests so happy and full. We even bought to-go boxes off of Amazon so everyone could take home leftovers (it was a hit!). I had people texting me the next day saying they were having some more Tom's BBQ for lunch . In summary, we will definitely be utilizing Tom for our events to come (so will a lot of our family members!) Not only for the delicious food, but also for the superior customer service.
Sheila H.5/05/2021We chose Tom's Smoking Hot BBQ for my daughters wedding and it was delicious! It was a backyard evening wedding and Tom and his crew were there early to set up and the food was not only delicious, but the preparation, set up and service was flawless! Our guests could not stop raving about the food. Our menu included Ribs, Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Mac n Cheese and Jalapeño Baked Beans. YUM!Tom really goes out of his way to make his clients happy. He is absolutely wonderful to work with. His customer service skills as well as his food, is spot on! He personalizes a chalkboard menu with the bride and grooms name and the food selections for the event. Makes it so special and personal. Can't say enough good things about Tom and his staff. I highly recommend Tom for amazing BBQ!
Joni C.1/30/2021Was looking to cater BBQ for work and decide to go with Tom and was very happy I did. Tom was able to cook all the food and bring it to my location and leave the food with disposable burners. I ordered tri tip, pulled pork, hatch Mac and cheese and some jalapeño beans. It all tasted amazing. Tom also left his new raspberry bbq sauce for us, also nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend using Tom if you are looking for delicious BBQ.
Anthony F.10/19/2020We had Toms BBQ cater our rehearsal dinner. The communication, service, presentation, & food were excellent! All of our guests were raving about how good the food was. I would highly recommend this company & look forward to using them again in the future. Thank you Tom & the team for helping us make our event a success!
Sarah K.7/27/2020Tom and his crew did an incredible job. I am always skeptical when people tell me that food is amazing, because do they really know what they're talking about? Well they were right. Tom is a pro, the real deal. We had brisket, pulled pork, chicken, mac and cheese, the sweet corn casserole, jalapeno bbq beans, pineapple coleslaw, and the southwestern salad. Every single item was fantastic, especially the brisket and corn. If you're looking for legit BBQ, look no further
Armen D.7/27/2020We had Tom's cater an event last night and it was delicious!! The ribs were tender, the tri-tip was so flavorful and the chicken was excellent! We had grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, southwestern salad and corn casserole, all of which were excellent but my favorite was the corn casserole!! Tom and his crew were very professional and did an great job!!I will definitely use them again in the future!
Stacey G.3/12/2020Talk about great customer service and delicious food, you will definitely not go wrong with Toms Smokin hot bbq Pitstop, when he says he will deliver he really comes trough. We had a birthday celebration up on Big Bear cabin and I definitely have to say that the weather was horrible to be driving in, I was a little worried that Tom wouldn't be able to deliver our food for our party but he definitely did what ever it took to deliver. The food was amazing, delicious and definitely really warm. He was 90mins away from us and he made it happen. I highly recommend Toms bbq for any party event. Thank you Toms Smokin hoy bbq Pitstop for your delivery of great customer service like never before.
Nancy A.2/25/2020We booked toms smoking hot BBQ for our wedding and could not be happier with our decision. My now husband is a HUGE BBQ and meat fan. And he said this was some of the best meat he's ever had! Our guests couldn't stop raving about our food at the wedding either! Definitely recommend them!!!
nicole g.1/27/2020This place absolutely deserves 5 stars. I met the owner. My food was mistakenly given away, but Tom went above and beyond to make it right! I had visited the Willowbrook Apple Farm where he was catering. Since they ran out of sandwiches, he gave me a full refund, and not only threw in the cheese fries for free, but offered a free lunch should we return. I quote him, "I just want to make sure you are happy."Someone who knows how to do customer service like this deserves to succeed! I know that can be costly for a small business owner to offer their product free, so I would be happy to pay. He really went the extra mile. And oh yeah, the fries were yummy!
Debra A.11/12/2019We had Tom cater our parents 89th and 90th Birthday Party and the food was amazing. Tom showed up on time, set up his Barbecue since we were grilling on site and his setup was awesome. Everyone loved the food! Pulled pork, Chicken and babyback ribs-tender and delicious. Baked beans-Yum-His special recipe is sooo good! Mac and cheese-Wish I had some now!I would recommend Tom and would use him again!
Al O.10/18/2019Tom's recently catered our company Christmas party and let me tell you they want him back next year! We had about 200 guests and they all loved it!! The food and the service were phenomenal!! Tom puts lots of love into his food and we could taste it! We had brisket, tri-tip, smoked sausage, macaroni and cheese, jalapeno beans and a fresh side salad! OMG!!! Everything had such amazing flavor, people were going back for seconds and thirds until it was gone! We even had some of our craft asking for left overs the next day!"Everything that I tried that day was my new favorite." -Kurt WarnerThanks again for making our first annual Christmas BBQ a hit!! See you next year!!
Trish W.1/07/2019If you're looking for BBQ, LOOK NO FURTHER. Toms Smokin' Hot BBQ is the place! I tasted Tom's food at wedding we had in Oak Glen a while ago. I instantly fell in love with every aspect of his business. First off, Tom's food speaks for itself and wows you as soon as you taste it. My fiancé and I love BBQ and we're always trying BBQ places and Tom's Smokin' Hot BBQ is by far the very first on our list! YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS QUALITY ANYWHERE ELSE.Secondly, Tom takes huge pride in his work and is always going above and beyond for his clients.

It's very calming with planning a wedding KNOWING that Tom is reliable, dependable and will be able to Wow each of your wedding guests. Book Tom, I promise, you won't regret it!
Becca B.11/09/2018We had Tom for our wedding. Could not be more happy with the food and the service. He went above and beyond of what we expected. Allowed us to sample two different choices which we were unsure which one we wanted. Everyone at my wedding was astounded by how well cooked and tasty everything was. Thanks a lot Tom could not imagine my event without your food there. If you want good barbecue this is the guy to go to definitely a Pitmaster of the highest stature.
Nathaniel B.9/10/2018Hands down the best BBQ! Tom has excellent customer service and works hard to make his clients happy. He was a great communicator during the process and goes the extra mile. We enjoyed his Angus tri-tip, Georgia styled pulled pork, homemade Mac n cheese and jalapeño beans. So many of our guests at our wedding raved over the delicious taste. Tom also sets up his catering very classy with ftable clothes, chaffing dishes and the tri tip is cut in front of you on a thick cutting board. Great look for catering.

Jessmyn H.4/16/2018Tom did an amazing job catering our wedding. When I first spoke to him over the phone I could tell he was very confident and proud of what he does. After first tasting his food, and seeing him and his crew in action serve our wedding of 170 guests I can see why. Tom is amazing at what he does and he was very flexible in coming up with a menu that worked specifically for our special day. I had guests coming up to me all night telling me how great the food was. Give him a call and see for yourself. Can't say enough good things about Tom and his crew.
Ruben O.4/15/2018The amazing smell from Tom's BBQ drew us in and we had to try some at the Redlands Springfest a couple weekends ago!We were not disappointed, in fact the opposite- it tasted even better than it smelled.I had the tri-tip sandwich, offered sweet or spicy, and the spicy was just that! Great flavor, nice and spicy, and very tender meat!Wifey opted for the pulled pork fries...sweet I think, and she loved hers as welll. Try this place if you ever get the chance!!
Michael S.6/13/2017I just utilized Tom for a business lunch and he did a terrific job. I had a conference room at a local hotel where they did not do catering and I had Tom set up lunch for 20 folks. He arrived early, got everything in place, and the food was fantastic. He also gave me some to go boxes which allowed my clients to take tri tip and Macaroni & Cheese home. Great food!
Tricia B.11/01/2016Tom recently catered a lunch at our hotel for a group of VIP guests and they loved it. I am always looking for new lunch ideas when this group of guys comes into town and I definitely found a gem in Toms Smokin' Hot BBQ. After lunch the guys raved about it, loved the fact that he came to prepare it all onsite and made certain it was all served hot. Can't go wrong with the Tri Tip & Chicken and the sides were equally as great. I will definitely be calling Tom in the future for other catered events !
Cynthia F.8/25/2016Tom catered our going away party on the weekend. It was FANTASTIC. The food was amazing .... and very plentiful. We had Tri-tip, pulled pork, and ribs (RIBS ROCKED), mac and cheese and beans. We were thrilled. All our guests were raving about the food and asking for his card and we have enough left overs to throw another party (he is very generous with his proportions). He did the BBQ right no site for us which was so much fun.As the host, I also loved how easy Tom was to work with. He took care of ALL the details ... plates, cutlery, chafing dishes, sauces, everything ... was prompt and responsive ... and he left the place spotless when he was done. He was also much less expensive then any of the other operations we looked at.This was a huge success. I was thrilled with everything Tom did and so excited that we decided to go with him. I would recommend him to anyone considering doing a catered party. So wonderful. I hope you have a chance to enjoy.
Lori D.8/08/2016Tom's BBQ was at our favorite brewery, Last Name in Upland, and it is absolutely delicious. The loaded French fries have the right amount of tangy, spicy and crunch. Everything is homemade and it tastes like it. I will definitely search for them, which is something I don't normally do, they are that good! Great job Last Name Brewery in finding them.
Rachel D.7/05/2016Tom recently catered my work Christmas party in Yucaipa. 1 word: Yum! Everyone really enjoyed the food! I received a lot of "Great choice!" comments from everyone. Thank you Tom!I coordinated everything with him, and he was very prompt and helpful through the whole process. He arrived right on time to the party, and set up all the amazing food he prepared for us. We had the food warmers which worked out great. The portions are very generous! We had the tri tip (the best!), ribs, and chicken. For sides we went with beans (my personal favorite!), mac & cheese, and the baked potato salad (get it warm, great suggestion from Tom!) The sauces were good--the spicy is spicy! Thank you Tom for making our party a success!
Dayna P.12/07/2015Five Star!!!! Not only are his ribs great, the tri-tip is even better. !!! His customer service is amazing, he has went the extra mile with making sure the ribs to my liking(but checking the ingredients) to be safe for my (celiac disease), that is caring about his customer and his quality of food he prepares... He is excited about his cooking and I would have recommended him to others and have...his ribs are my Thursday Night Treat!!
Kelly W.8/04/2015Had Tom cater a birthday party for me just last week. Food was amazing!!! Tri-tip, pulled pork & chicken. Chicken was prepared like he would have for a competition. It was clear to me he had invested lots of time. Everyone loved it!!! I appreciated the experience all the way through. Good communication via text preparing for the day, and he stuck around until he knew we were all satisfied with his service. I will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to others.
