About

IT'S IN THE SAUCE BBQ

My father knew that great BBQ was about more than just the meat. He knew that it was in the sauce. Our authentic Texas BBQ sauce has not wavered in quality or flavor in over 3 generations. This exclusive and concealed recipe has been handed down from one member of my family to the next.

With every custodian taking great precaution in preserving the integrity of our family’s special BBQ sauce. We have perfected our secret BBQ sauce, using only components that enhance the flavor of our fine smoked meats. Premium select Briskets & Tri Tips are smoked in an old-fashioned BBQ pit hauled all the way from the great State of Texas. We use this West Texas method for catering and at our flagship restaurant in Ventura, California. Our family recipes and distinctive Cali-Tex menu have made us a hometown favorite.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this business. They saved our wedding day. We were stressed out and in a bind to find a new caterer for our wedding as our previous food truck canceled our contract 2 months before the wedding. The owners of It's In The Sauce, Evelyn & Wayne, came to the rescue and instantly put our nerves at ease. They are kind, genuine, hard-working people who are absolutely wonderful to work with! They quickly got a taste test together for us and contracts were good and signed within 3 days of contacting them. Their food is AMAZING. I know everyone will be raving about the food from our wedding for years to come. If there is something that you want that is not on their menu, no problem! They will customize it to tailor YOUR needs. For the first time, I feel like my caterer is here to help ME out, not made to feel like it is the other way around. Choose It's In The Sauce for your wedding day! It will be the best decision you made. Our guests are STILL talking about how FANTASTIC the food was! I've been told by many that this was the BEST food they've ever had at a wedding.

If you want your guests to rave about the food and their experience at your wedding for years to come...do yourself a favor and book It's In The Sauce!

P.S. their homemade peach cobbler is TO DIE FOR!!!!

"Best wedding food EVER!" is what the majority of our guests told us.

We wanted our wedding to have an "All American" feel and I knew I wanted to hire It's In The Sauce to do the BBQ. They are such a nice husband and wife family operation and the food is proper Texas meets California BBQ.

We served baby back ribs, chicken, mac n cheese, collard greens and corn bread. We also had them cater apple pie, sweet potato pie, and peach cobbler. The guests were in heaven!!! People were going up for seconds and thirds! I wish I would have eaten more, but I was a bit too excited to eat on the big day :)

Wayne and Myisha (the owners) were always very professional and prompt. It was a pleasure to have them BBQing on site on the big day because they are such kind people. Myisha made nice food labels and the buffet spread looked really good.

We would highly recommend It's In The Sauce BBQ for your wedding. Your guests will be so happy!
