They catered our sons wedding. Were there for setup before the event, had enough staff, kept the water/ice tea/lemonade full (which was hard in the heat) and were all very friendly and helpful. Stayed through most of event and cleaned up their areas. The food for dinner and the grazing table was delicious and plenty. Highly recommend

The best BBQ spot in Northern California, period. Great choices, and combinations to make your meal a one of a kind experience. Great beer on tap, amd wine selections.

BRIDES BEWARE. If you are looking to book Ring of Fire as your wedding caterers, think again.We booked with ROF a year in advanced before our wedding. We were told we would be invited to a tasting once their restaurant opened up.They ultimately forgot to invite us to a tasting and scheduled for us to do a makeup tasting. Unfortunately, they forgot that they scheduled the make up tasting with us. Rebecca (owner) did try to accommodate and make us what they had available. It was a small variety of options that are available on their catering menu. We ultimately had to choose our menu without getting to taste over half of the menu options.Fast forward to our wedding day. We had 12 people cancel last minute. ROF ran out of brisket for our last table and only had chicken left as the meat even though we paid for two meats for each guest. They ran out of brisket even though we had 12 guests less than what we reported as the final headcount and had already paid for. There was a total of 10 people who were shorted food at my wedding and 12 plates of food that should have been left over adding up to 22 plates of food that we paid for, being shorted by ROF.For brides looking for caterers, if you don’t want to be forgotten about for your tasting, forgotten about for your make up tasting, and then shorted on food that you paid for with zero monetary compensation for all the mess ups, I do not recommend Ring of Fire.Save yourself the stress and disappointment and find a caterer that will provide the service you deserve on your wedding day by fulfilling the terms of their contract.We tried to express our concerns privately with the Ring of Fire owner. Unfortunately, it seems the owner once again forgot about us considering we reached out a month and a half ago and have not gotten a response.

FINALLY, some real Texas BBQ!❤ After living in Texas for 10 years, we have a high standard when it comes to smoked meats. This is some the BEST we ever had. Rebecca and her husband are Champion Grillers.Amazing and friendly service, good size portions, reasonably priced, yummy beer, and quick. Try it, your tummy will thank you.Ring of Fire BBQ would even put a smile on Johnny's face.Also, a working charging station for 2 e-vehicles.❤

Really good BBQ. Meat is high quality definitely NOT fat and gristle like at the other places. Nice seating outside. Dog friendly which is a big plus in my book. Good beer selection.

A great local, family owned business. Had a great time. The brisket was melt in your mouth. Service was on time and friendly. Thank you. You made my brother's birthday the best.

The ribs and Tri-tip were delicious. We also had a side of baked beans and macaroni which was very comforting. The atmosphere was great and I could smell the barbecue from the parking lot. The value was great too I had all of this with a beer for $40 and shared it with a friend.

I got brisket, tri tip, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. All really solid. I've had great bbq from Kansas and Texas. This place is in the top 10%. Definitely worth trying! Brisket was smokey and tender but just a touch dry. Tri tip was just a little tougher but had a nice crust on it. Sides were really solid. I just wish the plate came with some bread and onions or toast or something. Really wish I could have tried the ribs but they were out. We took to go, but the service and vibe inside was really nice.Vegetarian options: Not really anything for vegetarian options. Most sides don't have meat though.
We love this hidden gem. When traveling we stop here once a week. We are from Texas and this place beats some of our favorite Texas bar b que! The Brisket &pork are so moist and perfectly smoked. All sides are tasty. My husband's favorite is the potato salad and I simply can't choose because all are good. Ok maybe the Mac and cheese is my favorite. The House sauce and vinegar or mustard sauce are our favorite sauces and the brisket tacos are to die for! Ribs on the weekends which we haven't been able to try yet due to we work the weekends but hoping to try soon!

You will not be disappointed with anything! Best tasting BBQ meats and side dishes in a 200 mile radius. Yes really!

This place was amazing. I love the vibe, especially after a cold, wet, morning! We just finished visiting Apple Hill and came by for some Brisket sandwiches, which were JUICY and Delicious!! The vibe was immaculate, and the mini bar setup was very cozy. Considering it was packed during lunch on a Friday, the kitchen was still able to dish out quality food, and the staff were very polite. The seating was limited, so we had to sit and eat outside in the cold and rain. Despite my fingers being numb, my taste buds were dancing. Great job!
