About Amarillo Grilling BBQ and Catering

Amarillo Grilling BBQ and Catering, led by owner and executive chef Ken Johnson, brings serious low-and-slow barbecue technique to Oakland, New Jersey — the kind of smoked meats that take patience most people do not have time for on a weeknight, which is exactly why catering exists. Ken built the business around classic American barbecue: think properly smoked brisket, ribs, and pulled pork, the sort of menu that turns a backyard party or office event into something people actually talk about afterward instead of just eating and leaving. The catering side handles everything from small private gatherings to full wedding receptions, with a menu flexible enough to scale from a dozen guests to a few hundred without losing the flavor that comes from doing things the slow way. If there is a running joke in the reviews, it is that people show up expecting "pretty good barbecue" and leave asking for Ken's number so they can book him again immediately — repeat catering clients are basically Amarillo Grilling's best marketing department. Based out of Oakland, the business serves the wider Bergen County area, bringing smoker, tools, and a chef's attention to detail directly to wherever the party happens to be. For anyone tired of catering that tastes like it was reheated in a hotel pan, Amarillo Grilling offers the alternative: barbecue that was clearly cooked by someone who takes it personally.
