Amazing service!

From the very beginning Jalena and Anthony were very helpful and always were prompt to answer any questions that I had. We do not live in CA and had our friends go to the tasting. They were highly impressed and so I knew I wanted Rock n Rowan was the company I wanted to go with. Few months later my venue canceled on us 2 months before the big day. We were super stressed since we had to find a new venue. The venue we found that fit our budget was not able to accommodate the food being cooked on premises and we had to go about having a precooked options. Anthony and Jalena understood how upset we were but assured the food would still be good. They were absolutely right! All of our guests commented on how good everything tasted. I am amazed how well everything g turned out even with the all the hiccups we had they made sure our day would still be amazing!

Rock’n Rowan’s = Yum!

We used Rock'n Rowan's for food and bartending services for our wedding. From the beginning, Jalena was super responsive to all of my questions. They had us out for a tasting and their food sold us right away!! Once at the wedding, they were ready on time, had a great set up, and the food was incredible!! It was even better than I remembered at the tasting. Everyone at our wedding raves about the food and how delicious everything was. Even our pickiest guests went back for seconds! Their bartending services were top notch as well. They were friendly to all our guests and their drinks were mixed well! I was so happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Rock'n Rowan's for your next event!

Great service and delicious food!!

Rock’s Rowan’s BBQ was THE BEST catering for my wedding! Anthony and Jalena did such a great job and we’re so accommodating with our menu choices. Seriously the best BBQ ever, for every event we will be using them. Their smoked Tri Tip and Chicken is DELICIOUS, and their scalloped potatoes are to die for! You got so many compliments from our guests (and a lot of them are BBQ snobs lol). Thank you guys so much!
