J Wolf Catering Bbq - Ventura

Just discovered this great authentic BBQ (Brisket) and amazing Mac n cheese and super great baked beans! Family owned and run, this place has a real. Culinary chef that became a master of BBQ also. A former Chili cook off contest great, he is lending his advanced culinary skills to J Wolf Catering-BBQ as the owner and operator. Great for catering (duh) and especially good for to go orders or dine-in. Brisket is very hard to find in Ca. Especially when it's done to perfection. J Wolf smokes their brisket for hours over Res Oak, and the tenderness and smoky flavor are world class. I've lived all over the US, including Idaho, TX and North Carolina, sampling BBQ all over- including Tennessee! J Wolf is right up there with the best and most famous and is actually better than the Rendezvous in Memphis. Enjoy the food and atmosphere and I will be back and hope to order for catering a large party for the holidays!

It took 45 minutes to get a tri tip sandwich a very small side of potato salad, it wasn't too busy at all there was 1 order ahead of me. I spent my entire lunch hour sitting around. 2 stars because the sandwich was ok.

We constantly order food from here every Friday. We 're making our way down the menu but I gotta say, the pork belly sandwich was recommended to us as the underdog the most underrated sandwich they had there and I have to tell you....it did not disappoint!!!! Absolutely amazing. The cookies are delicious, the brisket is amazing, the tri-tip is on point!!! Everything about this place leaves you wanting for more. They 're availability is limited, and that creates a desire to go back even more when they 're open! Love this place, will 100# return and recommend to everyone. Best barbecue in town.

The best BBQ i’ve had in California. If you needed another reason to make the drive the cookies are seriously good too.

This place is amazing! Best BBQ in Ventura. Awesome service and Tenaya Sequoyah are super friendly.
