Temperate weather means you can host anything from fun outdoor food stations to casual barbeque to entertain and feed your guests. Your menu should always include some yummy springtime fruits and veggies such as strawberries, asparagus, and apricots. Lots of colors are the best way to get your spring party started in style.
Volunteer BBQ teams from all over the country, (like DRJ Catering), answer the need to help feed displaced families, police, fire, National Guard and emergency personnel whenever disasters strike. These relief efforts have served hundreds of thousands of meals that has been delivered to shelters, hospitals, senior living communities and the Humane Society.
A pig roast with DRJ Catering is much more than simply delivering a cooked pig to a location. Yes, the pig is cooked to perfection and will be absolutely delicious. But beyond pig perfection, our pig roasts as well as any of our parties come with everything you need to turn just an ordinary pig roast into an event that you will never forget and will want to repeat many times in the future.

David and Regina were amazing and catered to every one of my company's needs! They catered an event for us and I would recommend them to anyone for any special occasion. Especially the roasted pig and the bananas foster :) Reach out to DRJ Catering if you are looking for professional, yet friendly and awesome people!

I want to thank DRJ Catering for doing an amazing job for my husband’s 40th birthday party Pig Roast. David was extremely friendly and the food was amazing. He kept in contact with me leading up to the party. Making sure he knew exactly what I wanted and when. During the party he noticed that we had some events going that donated money to the wounded warrior project. He then told me about some of the charity work he does and proceeded to donate money for our cause. I highly recommend them for any of your catering needs.

I cannot speak highly enough of DRJ Catering! They did a pig roast at our home for a large 40th birthday. It was FANTASTIC. The experience was seamless and the easiest catering ordering and service I have ever encountered. And the food was so so so good. Everyone raved about it. And there were so many leftovers. The pig and display and everything was so vibrant and festive. It was really a highlight. And the best part was that they provided everything, cleaned everything and put all the leftovers together and boxed when they left. I will definitely be calling them again.

I had Dave do a full cow roast for me at my wedding and it was hands down the best catering choice by far. Out of all the caterers I contacted, he was the only one capable of doing a cow roast, something rather uncommon. However, Dave willingly took on the challenge and went above and beyond to make sure it came out perfect.
The meal was around noon and the cow had to be cooked overnight. Dave pulled an all nighter and stayed in the parking lot monitoring the cow's temperature throughout the night as it cooked. If this doesn't speak volumes about his commitment to catering excellence, then I don

DJR recently catered my Dad's memorial service. From booking thru the event David an Regina were awesome. Working with 3 siblings on a menu can be challenging at best and David took it all in stride.
And the most important part, THE FOOD
We had catered the traditional barbecue with some standard and premium sides
The burger dogs sausage and chicken wert great. And the grilled veggies even Allen me to have a portobello and roasted red pepper sandwich with a side of more grilled veggies
I can say enough great things about the awesome family owned business who also participates in. OPERATION

David and his staff were exceptional!!! We had a backyard bbq wedding and OMG they did an amazing job. From salad to PIG ROAST to cake they took care of everything. We didn’t lift a finger. They helped with planning, rentals, menu and crazy weather changes. Honestly they made our day smooth and easy and delicious. Can’t wait to plan another party with them!!!

I called DRJ Catering last minute looking for options for a Labor Day BBQ. At this point, it was too late for a pig roast. I already had a lot of food purchased but needed an option that freed me up for the party. They suggested going the route of hiring someone to grill. PERFECT SOLUTION and AFFORDABLE! Krystal arrived on the day of, early, and was fantastic. Will be doing this again for all future BBQs!

Placed an order for a party of 8 and I should have ordered more! David was extremely friendly and kept in contact over the weeks before our party. He hand delivered our tray of pulled pork with rolls and many sauces that were delicious!!! I couldn't decide which one was my favorite. It went so quick and everyone was raving about how yummy the pulled pork was!! Will definitely order from DRJ again!!

Delicious food, professional service, and fun! I had high expectations and they were surpassed. David's experience with pig roast catering was so evident...and eyes, tongues, and tummies were all satisfied. Leftovers (surprisingly and fortunately for us there were some) were packaged for us and containers of sauces left for our enjoyment. The beef ribs were huge and delicious! Outstanding!

This weekend, we had DRJ do a pig roast for my husband's 40th. David was great to work with from day one, he is very responsive to questions... and very professional.. The pig was a big hit.. David made sure everything was taken care of, and set up in time for the party...I didn't have to worry about anything. I wouldn't hesitate to hire DRJ for our next event! Thanks David!

On behalf of the Class of '66, Arthur L. Johnson High School, Clark, NJ, I would like to thank DRJ Catering for making our COLLECTIVE 70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY a memorable affair. The appetizers were excellent; tasty, filling, and served by a helpful, friendly wait-staff. The Bar-B-Q was beyond exceptional; Mr. Piggy was succulent and tender and the presentation was right out of a luau! We ate 'til we dropped and still had enough to send everyone home with a large container of pork.The sides were dee-lish and the perfect compliment to the meal.I cannot believe anyone had room for fruit salad

David and Regina were above and beyond wonderful to work with. From the start they were accommodating and thorough with suggestions within our budget. They always returned my calls or emails right away. They were even in touch with me on the way out to the event. We got compliments on the food the whole night and even days after the party was over. One of their servers realized that I was so busy talking that I hadn't been eating much. He made me a plate of appetizers and put it aside for me. We had the French fry bar which was a huge hit. We look forward to using them again!!!

The food looked great, but there was that one small problem....the food tasted like their fire starter. The ribs were nice and meaty. The pulled pork also looked great. The moment you start chewing you taste the chemicals in the food unfortunately.
Maybe they had a bad day, but wouldn't recommend this.

We were beyond happy with the way everything turned out and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to find a caterer outside of the cliche wedding catering experience. Searching for wedding caterers is an incredibly frustrating process for anyone looking for a more custom experience without having to go into debt. We were at the end of our rope by the time we came upon DRJ Catering and were elated to find that we could finally get exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price. The owner, his wife, and their excellent team worked without needing direction (to my knowledge) on the day of and

We hired DRJ catering for my son's 1st bday party which was a bbq at a public park. Approximately 75 ppl including children. Best party I've ever thrown! The service, food, planning, and responsiveness was completely professional and top notch. David and Regina are the owners and were wonderful to interact with. They did everything from buying the food to cooking the food on their grill and setting up the buffet. They even worked with our dietary restrictions with regards to the meat they used. They were absolutely worth the money and I'll definitely use them again, as will many

HUGE kudos to the team at DRJ Catering who catered our Luau last night. They did an incredible job from the initial menu planning though the night of the event. I wanted to host an upscale event, and I had a hard time finding a caterer who could perfectly execute a pig roast, while also offering my guests fantastic culinary options. I made the BEST choice, and I really didn't have to do A THING at my event. Regina and Michelle handled everything so seamlessly, and I was really able to enjoy my event without a care. My guests raved about the food, the service, and the quality of my caterer

I'm excited to see these guys on my beloved Yelp! because I have used DRJ multiple times for events at my mother's home in NJ. From pig roasts to bbq to fancy dinners with walk-around service, DRJ has got it all covered.
The last time we used them was this summer for an outdoor bbq. They rolled up with this great smoker filled with tons of delicious meat.
We had amazing ribs with the most spectacular dry-rub. The meat was falling off the bone with a great smokey flavor.
We also had pulled pork. Tender, juicy, and deeeeeelish! The smokey flavor didn't kill the sweet flavor
